DIGITAL DISPLAY

This generator is equipped with a LCD digital display that 

provides continuously updated status information for the 

following parameters;

• 

(KW) Wattage (power) output for the generator in 

kilowatts

• 

(V) Voltage output for the generator

• 

(Hz) Hertz output for the generator

• 

(Hr) The total run time since the first start (in hours)

!

 NOTE: It is normal for the run time indicator to have 

1-2hours on the meter from the factory for testing and 

quality assurance inspections. 

The digital display will illuminate when the engine is turned 

on. Within a few seconds of illumination, the display will 

begin to show new data, and at that point the generator is 

ready to supply power. The display will show each reading 

for a few seconds and repeat the cycle continuously while 

running.

See below for examples you can expect to see.
