Control Functions
Throttle
When the Throttle switch is in the "I" position the throttle controls the engine speed
according to the connected electrical load. The results are better fuel consumption
and less noise. When the switch is in the "O" position the engine runs at 4,500 rpm
regardless of the electrical load.
NOTE: The Throttle must be "O" when using electrical devices that require a large
starting current, such as a compressor, pump, or refrigenator.
Led Indicators
The LED Indicators assist in communicating proper and improper functions of the
unit.
Output Indicator (Green)
The Output Indicator comes on when the engine starts and produces power.
Overload Alarm (Red)
The Overload Alarm comes on when a connected device requires more power than
the generator is able to produce, the inverter control unit overheats, or the AC
output voltage rises above rated values. The Output Indicator (Green) will go off
and the Overload Alarm (Red) will stay on, but the engine will continue to run.
When the Overload Alarm Light comes on and power generation stops, proceed
as follows:
1.
Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine.
2.
Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the rated
output.
3.
Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. lf any
blockages are found remove them.
4.
After checking, restart the engine.
