Power Systems Plus provides comprehensive generator retrofitting and repair for all types of generators. We design and install various types of customized generator packages tailored to your specific needs. From engines and generator ends, to custom control systems, we can provide you what you need to stay online.

Retrofit projects often provide opportunities for improving the operation and safety of the original machine design. Out dated systems can compromise machine performance, reliability, efficiency and maintainability.  Work will not proceed without a thorough examination of the possible opportunities to improve generator performance and efficiency.

We also provide new housings and custom painting to improve  your generator appearance, weatherability and provide sound reduction.

Retrofit Options

Deep Sea Digital Control Systems Upgrade

Power Systems Plus can update the generator control unit on any brand or age of generator with the latest technology. Newer, more user-friendly control systems allow for better operation, protection, and communication with your generator. 

Benefits of retrofitting your generator control system

• More options for alarms and adjustable parameters.
• Less expensive, more universal components.
• More affordable than replacing with the original equipment (in most cases).
• Better protection of engine and stator.
• Integrates with digital fuel level indicator and/or fuel polishing system.
• Communicates with remote annunciator or remote monitoring systems.
• Easy to use generator control panel

Digital Fuel Level Indicator Upgrade

Most generator fuel tanks are equipped with only a manual fuel level gauge. Power Systems Plus has developed a digital fuel level indicator system that ties into your generator control panel and remote annunciator panel (when compatible). You can see your fuel level from the control panel and set an alarm to tell you when your fuel is low. This option works with many generator brands and is fully compatible with Power Systems Plus control panel retrofit.

Benefits of a Digital Fuel Monitor

Prevents Fuel Shortages or Overfills – Eliminates the risk of tanks running out of fuel or being overfilled.

No Manual Checks Required – You won’t have to rely on staff to read gauges or report fuel levels.

Track Usage Over Time – Record data to monitor consumption trends and detect anomalies.

Verify Fuel Billing – Use the system to validate your fuel provider’s invoices.

This inexpensive solution can save you time and money and give you peace of mind that your fuel tank is ready to supply your generator in case of an emergency. We can quickly and easily upgrade your generator fuel tank installation.

The best way to ensure that your emergency power system will be available when you need it is regular diesel generator maintenance. Like any engine, if it sits too long problems can develop. All components need to be functioning properly in order to ensure the generator will start and power will transfer in the event of a power outage. The costs of emergency generator maintenance are minimal compared to the costs of losing power. Whether its loss of data, loss of orders, or loss of food in freezers, downtime costs money.

Power Systems Plus offers all the services you need to make sure your emergency system is ready. Often these services are required to be in compliance with Building and Fire Code Standards (NFPA 110). We recommend at minimum our Annual Service be performed once per year. Call us today for local generator services in Portland.

Weather your system has a manual or an automatic transfer switch, it should be tested regularly to verify the function of the switch. Most Automatic switches have a small battery that needs to be replaced every 5 years or so. Automatic switches also often have exerciser clocks that trigger the unit to run for a given period of time at a regular interval. This is a great feature to ensure your unit is running regularly. Engines that sit without running for long periods of time are prone to problems.

Our service includes a complete inspection and testing of your transfer switch, verification of the exerciser clock, and thorough checking of all wire connections. We can also reset the exerciser clock on most switches to operate at a time that’s convenient for you. Service-rated transfer switch testing is included with our Annual Generator Service or can be scheduled separately.

As a best practice we would also recommend that you include our Power Failure Simulation Test to ensure that all aspects of the system are functioning together. Call us today at (503)357-3839 for more information!

What’s Included in a Transfer Switch Test?

A thorough transfer switch test ensures your backup power system operates safely and reliably when you need it most. During the inspection, our technicians:

• Check and tighten buswork, contacts, and hardware for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Inspect control wiring, power cables, and cabinet interiors for deterioration or unusual conditions.
• Evaluate mechanical components, including stationary and movable contacts, for proper function.
• Test system indicators like pilot lamps and exercise clocks to confirm accurate operation.
• Remove dust and moisture, maintain lubrication, and replace control module batteries as needed.
• Perform a power transfer test (if applicable) to confirm the switch safely transfers load between primary and backup power.

By performing these steps, a transfer switch test helps prevent unexpected failures, extends the lifespan of your equipment, and ensures your home or business stays powered during outages.
