- The batteries develop hydrogen, a highly explosive
gas. It is recommended not to smoke nor cause
sparks in the vicinity, in particular during charging.
- Do not cause short-circuits by placing keys or
tools on the batteries or on the cable fittings.
4.5 Starting
Before starting the generator check that all the utilities
are off to prevent putting the still cold engine under
stress.
Proceed with starting by turning the ignition key
clockwise to the START position (Fig. 8,9, Ref. 1).
Do not hold the start key on for more than 10
seconds and let at least 15 seconds elapse before
attempting to start again.
Do not turn the key to the START position when the
engine has started. This operation would damage
the starter motor.
To prevent damage to the self-winding cord of the
engine, never release it abruptly after having pulled
it out fully, but guide it until complete rewinding.
The generator engine has been calibrated, in idle,
to 3150 rpm equal to 52.5 Hz, as the engine stabilises
at about 3000 rpm equal to 50Hz with a load. For
this reason, the accelerator lever (Fig.3, Ref.4) must
never shift for any reason, since the output voltage,
frequency and power values of the generator would
be compromised.
4.6 Using the generator
Before powering any utility, leave the engine to run without
applied load for at least five minutes so that it gradually
reaches the operating temperature. This will guarantee
longer life of the engine and eliminate the risk of seizures.
Each generator is equipped with the following outlets:
PD 10 R
- a single-phase outlet, EEC 32A 230V 2P+GND
- a single-phase outlet, EEC 16A 230V 2P+GND
PD 10.4 R
- a three-phase outlet, EEC 32A 400V 3P+N+GND
- two single-phase outlet, EEC 16A 230V 2P+GND
The available power is as indicated on the adhesive label
carrying the technical characteristics (Fig.2).
The sum of absorption of all the utilities connected
to the generator must never exceed the continuous
power value of the generator.
4.7 Stopping
The generator is stopped by turning the ignition key
completely anticlockwise (Fig. 8, 9 Ref. 1) from the ON
to the STOP position.
Before stopping it, it is recommended to run it for a few
minutes without applied load so that the internal
temperatures of the engine and alternator are gradually
reduced.
4.8 Connection to automatic panel/remote
control (optional)
The generators of the
PD
series are fitted for connection
to an automatic control panel able to automatically start
the generator and switch the line in case of a power
failure and invert the operation when the power is
restored.
The automatic panel moreover maintains the generator
starter battery charged even when it is off.
The automatic panel is connected to the generator by
means of a 10-pin connector on the instrument panel
(Fig. 8, 9 Ref. 3) and a power plug to be inserted in the
outlet on the instrument panel.
The automatic panel arrangement can also be used for
connection to a remote control start, which consists of
a box with the start/stop key of the generator connected
to the connector with a cable of standard 50 m length.
When the automatic panel or the remote control is
connected to the generator, the ignition key on the
instrument panel must remain in the STOP position.
Set the RESET function when carrying out
maintenance or repair operations on the generator
to prevent it from starting in the event of a power
failure.
Before setting the AUTOMATIC function, the
selector must be positioned on the RESET
function to reset the protections.
