Atlas Copco QAS 80 Pd, QAS 100 Pd, QAS 60 Pd 2010 Operators Manual

If you are working on an Atlas Copco portable generator without the factory Operators Manual in your hand, you are guessing. I have seen guys chase electrical gremlins on a QAS 80 Pd for three hours because they skipped the section on QC1002 menu descriptions. That is time you do not get back. This manual is 100 pages of what Atlas Copco wrote for their own equipment. Not a reprint. Not a third-party summary. The original 2010 print. Every safety precaution, every menu step, every torque callout came from the engineers who built the machine. You want to keep that generator running on a job site? You start here.

3 Control Panels: Qc1002™, Qc2002™, and What They Mean for Your Job

This manual covers both primary control panels found on the QAS 60 Pd, QAS 80 Pd, and QAS 100 Pd models. The Qc1002 section starts on page 17 and includes pushbutton and LED functions, a full menu overview, remote start operation, and fail classes. The Qc2002 section (page 25) mirrors that structure but adds a separate module description and its own fail class breakdown. If you have ever tried to guess which LED sequence means “frequency error” on a Qc2002, you know why having the menu description in front of you matters. The manual also explains the output terminal board and the spillage-free system – details that aftermarket PDFs usually leave out.

Maintenance Schedule: 8 Sections You Cannot Skip

Page 43 lays out the maintenance schedule for all three models. Engine maintenance, measuring alternator insulation resistance (asterisked because it is optional but smart), engine oil specifications with PAROIL 5W40 and 15W40, coolant specs with PARCOOL EG, and the full coolant check procedure – monitoring condition, topping up, replacement. I have pulled too many generators apart where the coolant was never changed because the operator “didn’t know” the interval. That is a melted engine waiting to happen. This manual has the intervals. Use them.

Torque Specs and Fluid Capacities – Where Are They?

The technical specifications for each model live in the last chapters. For the QAS 60, you get readings on gauges, settings of switches, and full engine/alternator/unit specs. Same for QAS 80 and QAS 100. Need the charge pressure? It is in those tables. Circuit diagrams are on page 85 – not a generic block diagram but the actual factory wiring for the base unit and all optional equipment. If you are wiring in an automatic battery charger or a dual frequency kit, you need those diagrams. No guesswork.

Why an Operators Manual Beats an Aftermarket PDF

I have seen aftermarket “manual” packs that cram three different generator families into one file, mislabel the QAS 60 Pd as having a Qc1002 when it came with Qc2002, and skip battery safety altogether. This manual has a dedicated safety section covering transport, installation, use, maintenance, repair, tool applications, and battery safety. The copyright page warns that any modification without written approval voids liability. That level of caution exists because the factory knows exactly what can go wrong. Trust that. Not a scanned copy someone put online five years ago.

Options and Circuit Diagrams – What You Need

The options section lists every factory electrical and mechanical option available for the QAS 60, 80, and 100 units. Electrical options include automatic battery charger, battery switch, engine coolant heater, outlet socket sets (three configurations), single/dual frequency control, low voltage, dual voltage, earth leakage relay, IT-relay, EDF configuration, and COSMOS™. Mechanical options cover external fuel tank connection, undercarriage, spark arrestor, air inlet shut-off valve. If you need to add a fuel tank quick-coupling to a QAS 100 Pd, the diagram is here. The circuit diagrams at the back tie it all together. Do not attempt that wiring without the factory diagram.

FAQ

What is the page count of this manual?

100 pages.

Does this manual cover both Qc1002 and Qc2002 control panels?

Yes. The manual has dedicated chapters for each panel, including pushbutton and LED functions, menu overviews, menu descriptions, remote start operation, and fail classes. The Qc1002 section starts around page 17, the Qc2002 around page 25. If you have a QAS 80 Pd with a Qc2002, you will find the exact procedure for starting, running, and stopping the generator, plus all failure code definitions. No need to cross-reference a separate document.

Are circuit diagrams included for the optional equipment?

Circuit diagrams are on page 85 and cover the base unit plus all listed electrical options, including dual frequency, dual voltage, earth leakage relay, and COSMOS™. If you are retrofitting an automatic battery charger, the wiring is there.

What safety precautions are listed for battery handling?

The manual includes a dedicated battery safety precautions subsection under the safety chapter. It covers correct handling, charging, jump-starting, and disposal. Battery acid and explosive gas risks are explicitly warned. If you have ever seen a battery explode from incorrect jump-starting, you will appreciate that section.

This is the manual Atlas Copco put together for the QAS 60 Pd, QAS 80 Pd, and QAS 100 Pd generators. It is 100 pages of factory-sourced information. You need it on your tablet or printed out next to the machine. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it where you can reach it when the generator won’t start at 6 a.m.
