Generator Overload
•
Repeated, substantial overloading that continuously reports an overload condition to the digital display may
damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily reports an overload may shorten the service life of
the generator.
The digital display will remain illuminated and returning data during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 4000 W), or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the values in the digital display will
become zero, the message OVER will appear in the wattage (P) field of the display, and the power output will stop.
Remove all electrical loads from the generator and investigate the cause of the overload.
Press the (green) overload reset button. The OVER message will be cleared, and the digital display
should be returning data again within 10 seconds.
Before connecting or reconnecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and
that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
Overspeed Protection
This generator has been designed to prevent the engine from “overspeed” revving. Overspeed revving occurs when
a generator’s on-board monitoring systems detect a drop in voltage from the inverter, and the generator attempts to
compensate by revving the engine higher to generate more electricity. In the rare event of an inverter failure, there will be no
voltage output from the inverter, and the engine will remain revving at or close to its top speed.
•
The ECU will draw the engine down to idling speed.
•
The digital display will indicate zero (0) Volts.
•
The 120 V receptacles will not supply voltage, regardless of breaker settings.
