Eco Mode; Ac Circuit Breaker; Overload Reset - Westinghouse iGen2500c Manual Del Usuario

ECO MODE

Always start the generator with ECO MODE OFF. Allow
the engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY
LED to illuminate before switching ECO MODE ON.
Note: Do not use ECO MODE when in parallel operation
with another Westinghouse generator.
ECO MODE minimizes fuel consumption and noise by
adjusting the engine RPM to the minimum required for the
current load.
Turn ECO MODE ON when powering small appliances
with continuous loads such as a computer or electric light.
Turn ECO MODE OFF when powering large surge loads
such as an air conditioner or electric pump.
To turn on ECO MODE, verify that the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated green, then push the switch to the ON
position. If no load is present, the generator RPM will drop
to idle speed. The generator will detect loads as they are
applied and increase engine RPM.
To run the generator at maximum power and RPM, push
the ECO MODE switch to the OFF position.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKER

The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there
is a short circuit, a significant overload of the generator at
the receptacle, or if the combined load exceeds 15 Amps.
If the AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working correctly and it does
not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before
resetting the circuit breaker.

OPERATION

OVERLOAD RESET

The generator will automatically switch OFF all AC output
to protect the generator if overloaded or if there is a short
circuit in a connected appliance. However, the engine will
continue to run. Marginal overloading that temporarily
illuminates the OVERLOAD LED may shorten the service
life of the generator.
OVERLOAD on the control panel will illuminate red and
the green OUTPUT READY will be OFF.
To restore AC output:
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
2. Push the RESET button on the control panel until the
OVERLOAD LED goes OFF and the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated.
3. Reset the circuit breaker if OFF.
4. Verify that the intended running and surge loads do not
exceed the generator's capacity.
5. Reconnect electrical loads sequentially, allowing the
generator to stabilize after each load is connected.
GENERATOR CAPACITY
Do not overload the generator's capacity. Exceeding the
generator's wattage/amperage capacity can damage
the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous
(running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will
power at the same time.
The total power requirements (Volts x Amps = Watts) of all
appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and
power tool manufacturers usually list rating information
near the model or serial number.
To determine power requirements:
1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This
is the amount of power the generator must produce
to keep the items running. See the wattage reference
chart on the next page.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.
