2.3 Control Functions
Smart Throttle
When the Smart Throttle switch is in the
“ON”
position the
smart 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
“OFF”
position the engine runs at 4,500 rpm regardless of
the electrical load.
Note:
The Smart Throttle must be
“OFF”
when using electrical devices
that require a large starting current, such as a compressor, pump,
or refrigerator.
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.
