5 PROTECTIONS AND WARNING SIGNALS
The generators are equipped with a series of protections
which safeguard it against improper use and faults which
may compromise integrity.
5.1 PROTECTION AGAINST SHORT-CIRCUIT AND OVERLOAD
See par.2.3 "Table of tecnical characteristics"
For protection against short-circuits and overloads,
the generators have been fitted with magnetothermal
and differential switches which trip, cutting the power,
if there is an overload condition on the alternator or a
short-circuit.
Before restoring the power by returning the
magnetothermal switch lever to the ON position remove
the cause of the fault.
A main differential magnetothermal switch cuts the
power to all the outlets in the event of a short-circuit,
overload and current leakage to earth.
A magnetothermal protection switch at the low-power
outlets,breaks the circuit if a current greater than the
rated current is drawn by the outlets.
5.2 FUNCTIONING
For the activation, rotate clockwise the key (ref.1) in
position ON.
Now, rotate the key (ref.1) in position START; the
generating set will start.
Leave the key.
Do not keep the starting key in position START for
more than 5 sec.
5.3 ENGINE PROTECTION
In the case that occur an insufficient pressure of the oil
engine, the generator set turn off automatically.
Fill the quantity of lacking oil to be able to restart the
generator set.
The low oil pressure protection does not give an
indication of the oil level. The oil level must
periodically be checked in order to prevent
damage to the engine.
