Instruction Manual Supplement

DANGER

This Instruction Manual Supplement

contains important instructions

for operating the Westinghouse

WHXC8500E-AS generator.

For your safety and that of others, be

sure to read both the main Instruction

Manual and this Supplement thoroughly

before operating the generator. Failure

to properly follow all instructions and

precautions can cause you and others

to be seriously hurt or killed.

Both the main Instruction Manual and

this Supplement should be considered

a permanent part of the generator and

should remain with it if resold.

WARNING

The output of this generating set is

potentially lethal. The set shall not

be connected to a ﬁxed electrical

installation by ﬁxed wiring except by an

appropriately licensed person.

The connection of this generating

set to portable tools and appliances

or a ﬁxed electrical installation shall

comply with the requirements of AS/

NZS 3000:2018 Electrical Installations

“Wiring Rules” and AS/NZS 3010:2017

Electrical Installations – Generating

Sets.

The electrical work described in this

Supplement shall only be performed by

a licensed electrician. It is dangerous

and unlawful to do this work without an

appropriate electrical work licence.

NOTICE

DO NOT overload the generator’s 240-Volt AC or

12-Volt DC circuits beyond their rated capacities.

This can result in damage to the generator or to the

connected devices.

SAFETY

CONNECTION

INTRODUCTION

The Westinghouse WHXC8500E-AS generator as

originally supplied is congured for connection to

portable tools and appliances or a xed electrical

installation by means of detachable plug and socket

outlet connection(s) to either or both of its 240-Volt

AC, 15-Amp outlets (see Figure S1).

Figure S1 – Connection to the

240-Volt AC, 15-Amp Outlets

The maximum electric current that can be delivered

continuously from either of the generator’s 240-

Volt AC outlets is 15 Amperes (15 A) and thus the

maximum continuous electric power output from

either outlet is 3,600 Watts (3,600 W).

WARNING

NEVER connect both of the

generator’s 240-Volt AC outlets in

parallel to the same electrical device,

extension cord or ﬁxed electrical

installation.

NEVER connect more than one

generator to the same electrical

device, extension cord or ﬁxed

electrical installation.

In some applications, such as connection to an off-

grid solar power system for battery charging and

backup or connection to a xed electrical installation

as an alternative source of supply, more than 3,600 W

of generator output may be required to power a single

electrical load. This will necessitate direct connection

to the generator’s output terminals in accordance with

the procedure described hereinafter.

The maximum electric current that can be delivered

continuously from this direct connection is 28.1 A,

which corresponds to the generator’s maximum

continuous running power output of 6,750 W.

WORK PROCEDURE

Tools and materials required (not included):

• Phillips Tip Screwdriver #2

• Standard Tip Screwdriver 4 mm Blade

• Standard Tip Screwdriver 5 mm Blade

• Silicone Rubber RTV Adhesive / Sealant

(e.g. Silastic™ 732)

• 6 mm2(minimum) 2 Core + Earth Copper, Insulated

and Sheathed Circular Cable

• Cable Jointing Tools and Materials

• M25 Cable Gland

• Tools for Cable Gland tightening (if required)

1. Check the cable gland plate kit supplied with the

generator and verify its components against those

shown in Figure S2.

Figure S2 – Cable Gland Plate Kit Components

2. Turn the generator’s engine control switch to the

STOP position. Unplug any electrical cords or

appliances from its 240-Volt AC and 12-Volt DC

sockets. Remove the spark plug boot from the

spark plug. Disconnect the battery cables from

the battery starting with the negative (-) cable rst

and move the wires away from the terminals to

avoid arcing.

B – Screw M4 x 10 mm (Qty 4)

C – Washer M4 (Qty 4)

CONNECTION

3. Remove the snap-on cover from the right-hand-

side 240-Volt AC socket only using a small at

blade screwdriver (see Figure S3).

Figure S3 – Removing the 240-Volt

AC Socket Cover

4. Unscrew the socket from the control panel using

a #2 Phillips screwdriver (see Figure S4). It is

recommended to retain the screws for future re-

installation of the socket.

Figure S4 – Removing the 240-Volt AC Socket

5. Withdraw the socket from the control panel to

give access to the wiring terminal screws on the

back of the socket (see Figure S5).

Figure S5 – Withdrawing the 240-Volt AC Socket

6. Disconnect the active, neutral and earth wires

from the socket by unscrewing the wire terminals

with a at blade screwdriver (see Figure S6). It is

recommended to retain both the socket and its

mounting gasket for future re-installation.

Figure S6 – Disconnecting the 240-Volt AC Socket

7. Pre-assemble one end of the new direct-

connection cable by feeding it through the cable

gland and then insert the cable gland into the

gland plate and loosely screw on its locking nut

(see Figure S7).

Gland Plate and Mounting Gasket

8. Connect the generator’s active, neutral and earth

wires to the corresponding cable conductors

using your preferred method, e.g. crimp ttings,

screw connectors, soldering, etc. See Figure S8.

Figure S8 – Connecting the Cable

9. Adjust the position of the cable within the gland

so that only a minimum length of cable will

protrude into the control panel and then tighten

the gland by hand or with a tool as appropriate.

Apply a small continuous bead of silicone sealant

around the circumference of the gland plate on

the face that will abut the control panel. Align

the gland plate’s mounting holes with the socket

mounting holes in the control panel and then afx

the plate using the screws and washers supplied

in the cable gland plate kit (see Figure S9). Wipe

off any excess sealant from around the gland

plate.

Figure S9 – Afﬁxing the Gland Plate

to the Control Panel

10. The other end of the cable MUST be safely

terminated BEFORE the generator can be

returned to operation as described below in

Step 11. According to the application, for

example, the other end of the cable may be

terminated in a 32 A socket, changeover /

isolating switch, circuit breaker or switchboard.

11. Reconnect the generator’s battery cables to the

battery starting with the positive (+) cable rst.

Re-attach the spark plug boot to the spark plug.

Plug in any electrical cord or appliance to the

left-hand-side 240-Volt AC socket and also to the

12-Volt DC socket, as required (see Figure S10).

Figure S10 – 240 Volt AC Detachable Plug & Socket

Connection (Left) and Direct Connection (Right)

The generator is now ready for operation as described

in the main Instruction Manual.
