Indicator lamps for output and overload
The indicator lamp for output (green) is constantly lit during normal use. If the generator is
overloaded (with more than 3.0 kVA), or if a short circuit occurs in the connected device, the output
indicator lamp goes o and the indicator lamp for overloading (red) lights up and the electricity to
the connected device is cut. Turn o the engine if the indicator lamp for overloading (red) lights up
and nd the source of the overload.
NB
When an electric engine starts, both the overload indicator lamp for and the output indicator lamp
can light up at the same time. This is completely normal if the overload indicator lamp goes out after
about four seconds. Contact the generator’s stockist if the overload indicator lamp stays lit.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT! For best performance and maximum service life, the new generator is normally run at
50% load for 20 hours, so that the best performance is achieved.
1. Connect the earthing connection.
2. Starting the engine.
3. When the output indicator lamp is turned o and the overload indicator lamp is lit instead,
the engine switch must be set to the STOP position and the engine switched o immediately
in order to then start it up again.
4. Check that the equipment that is to be used is switched o and insert the plug for the
equipment that will be used in the AC power outlet.
5. Starting the equipment to be used
6. With an overload or problems with the equipment the output indicator lamp will go out
(green), the overload indicator lamp (red) will be lit constantly and the power supply will
cease.
7. The engine does not shut down automatically, but must be switched o by setting each
engine switch in the STOP position.
NB
• When using equipment that requires high starting power, e.g. engines and the like, the overload
indicator lamp (red) and the output indicator lamp (green) can light up simultaneously for a
short time (approximately 4 seconds), but this is completely normal. When the equipment has
started the overload indicator lamp (red) goes o and the output indicator lamp (green)
continues to be lit.
• The DC output must only be used to charge 12 V car batteries and the voltage at zero load is
15-30 V.
