8.1 ECOtronic (idle down)
Your Generators is fitted with an ECOtronic function. Fuel consumption
and emissions will be reduced when the ECO mode is activated, as the en-
gine speed is automatically adjusted to match the power requirement of the
connected consumer. This also leads to a reduction in the noise level. As
the power requirement increases, the engine speed will also increase to the
same extent and this ensures trouble-free operation of the connected con-
sumer. The electronics raise the engine speed again as soon as the con-
nected power consuming equipment is switched on in order to make the
full output available.
NOTICE!
Always switch the ECOtronic off before you operate a very powerful con-
sumer. The engine speed will increase up to nominal speed and provide full
power without any delay when you turn on the consumer.
Proceed as follows to run your Generators in ECO mode:
Conditions Generator is ready for operation
The generator is started (see Chapter 7.3 )
Switching on
ECOtronic
Switch the idle engine speed reduction as follows:
1. Turn the rocker switch Fig. 7-1 into the "I“ (ON) position.
Idle down is activated. The engine speed will drop significantly when a consumer
is being run at a low power or is switched off.
Turning off
ECOtronic
Switch the idle down off as follows:
1. Turn the rocker switch Fig. 7-1 into the “0” (OFF) position.
Idle down is switched off. The drive motor's speed increases to nominal speed
(see Chapter 13 Technical data).
