Electrodyne 24VDC Industrial Generator
Part Number: 10-080-678
This generator is designed specifically for
industrial applications. Rated at 24 VDC with 60
ampere capability this unit will provide power for
multiple control systems and auxiliary equipment
such as FIRE EYEs and area lighting. There are
no brushes or springs to wear or fail and with
only one moving part, a unitized non-electrical
rotor shaft. This generator is covered by a one
(1) year warranty to provide hours of trouble free
operation. The one piece bearing housing, which
also serves as an oversize grease reservoir,
assures permanent bearing alignment.
Heavy duty, extra long life roller and ball bearings
are used to handle high belt load and end
loads. Large diameter stator wire decreases IR
winding losses for more power output with lower
horsepower input. Dual mounting ears in one piece steel casting. This is a unit that you can
depend on for extended operational life and service.
CSA certified for operation in Class 1, Div. 2 environments.

Basic Operation
Low Voltage Operating Instructions
The Undervoltage Shutdown (LVD) provides a method of disconnecting load supply when the
battery voltage falls below an unacceptable voltage. The pushbutton bypass is provided to allow
for provision of load supply when the battery voltage is below the low-voltage disconnect and the
LVD has disabled regular battery power.
GREEN LED
Typically the green light is not applicable with the PIC BB2 applications.
If a solar panel (PV array) or DC power is connected to terminals 3 & 4, The green LED indicator
will light as long as there is power available. (Daytime for solar applications).
RED LED Indicator
Whenever the battery charge state falls below the LVD set point (23 volts, Reconnect @ 25.2
volts), the load will be disconnected and the red LED will light. This indicates that the controller
has disconnected the load to protect the battery from further discharge and possible damage.
Gas Detection Operating Instructions
The GAS DETECTION option allows for the operator to remove control power to relay R1 (item
16), by opening the contact between terminals TB15 and TB16. The supplied jumper must be
removed to enable this function. This will disconnect 24VDC power to terminal TB12. A diode
block (item 11) isolates battery power from the generator. A 3 amp un-switched fuse (item 10) is
installed for connection to the gas detector, so that the detector remains powered up in this state.
Generator Failure/ Blown Fuse Alarm
The BB2-CB-UVGD-A provides a signal to the panel indicating the generator and control fuse
are operating properly. The relay state is connected to the panel to indicate generator power is
available. If either of the fuses blow, or the generator fails (failure or broken belt), the relay will
turn off and signal the panel of a fault. A class B alarm should be used for the panel input. The
relay is suitable for non-incendive use provided suitable wiring methods are used to maintain this
protection method.

Battery Box Maintenance & Troubleshooting
General Maintenance
•
•
•
•
Please check the battery box terminals for tightness on a regular basis. This helps to ensure
that no potential ignition sources are present in the battery box.
Visually inspect the batteries on a periodic basis. Look for possible corrosion, battery bulging
(sign of overcharging), and other irregularities. If the batteries appear to be damaged or not
operating properly, please contact a PIC office for battery replacement.
Inspect the “T” vent for obstructions and the vent’s ability to pass any gas out of the box.
Always check the vent for obstructions before opening the enclosure.
With a volt meter, periodically check the output voltage of the generator by measuring the
voltage at the battery terminals while the engine is running. The preferred voltage should be
between 26.5 and 29.0 volts. If the voltage is outside this range, please contact a PIC office
for assistance.
Troubleshooting
Cautions:
•
•
•
•
Troubleshooting should be done by qualified personnel only.
Remember that a battery can cause serious damage if shorted.
There are no user serviceable parts, fuses or circuit breakers inside the LVD.
Observe all normal precautions when working with energized circuitry.
Battery is not Charging
•
•
•
•
Check the green LED indicator. The green charging LED should be on if the engine /
generator are running
Check that the proper battery type (Sealed or Flooded) has been selected. PIC uses flooded
batteries (Jumper Removed)
Check that all wire connections in the system are correct and tight. Check the polarity (+/-) of
the connections.
Check that the load is not drawing more energy than the Generator can provide.
Load Not Operating Properly
•
•
•
•
Check that the load is turned on. Check that no system fuses are defective. Check that no
system circuit breakers are tripped. Remember that there are no fuses or circuit breakers
inside the LVD.
Check connections to the load, and other controller and battery connections.
Check for proper LED indications on the LVD. If the red load disconnect LED is on, the load
has been disconnected due to low battery voltage.
Measure the voltage at the controller battery terminals. If this voltage is above the LVD, the
load should have power. Then measure the voltage at the controller load terminals, and if
there is no voltage present, the controller may be defective.
