Fuses and circuit breakers
Fuses (1) are for the protection of the controller
against overloads and short circuits:
– F1: protection of the 12V circuit;
– F2, F3: 220V protection, instrumentation reading
(V, Hz).
The circuit breaker (2) is for the protection of the
relevant sockets against overload and short circuits.
To correctly disconnect the appliances from the
lighting tower generator, first position the switch to
OFF to isolate the electric load and only then remove
the plug.
Electrical connections and
use
Earthing
Use a cable of suitable section (at least 6 mm²) to
connect the PE terminal to an earth plate that can
ensure an earth resistance suited to the characteristics
of the lighting tower.
Appliances
1. Wait 3 or 4 minutes before connecting the appli-
ances to allow the engine to warm up enough.
Then plug in the socket.
2. Make sure that a correct voltage is displayed.
3. Close the current switch (position ON).
4. Switch on your appliance.
5. If the breaker trips, adjust the load until it falls
within the maximum power limit allowed for the
generating set.
6. Make sure that the load does not exceed the
nominal power of the generating set as indicated
in the technical data sheet and guaranteed with a
tolerance of ± 5% when the engine has run in.
Derating will be 1% for every 100 m of altitude,
2% for every 5°C above 20°C and 10% when used
continuously at constant load.
7. Make sure the load does not exceed the nominal
current capacity of the socket or the cable
connected to it.
8. Never connect the lighting tower directly to the
mains.
Protection against electric shocks
due to faulty isolation
Our lighting tower is manufactured in compliance to
the TT systems norms (earthed neutral) and with an
ELCB (differential protection).
A protection system against possible
isolation malfunctions is mandatory
on all electric installations to avoid
risks of electric shock.
