5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ENERGY series generators are made from petrol
or gas internal combustion engines connected to
an alternator that can produce both alternating
and direct electrical current. The generating sets
are assembled inside a steel plate casing,
insulated and sound-proofed using special sound
absorbing materials.
The fuel is fed to the endothermic engine (only
on petrol model) by a pump assembled standard
on the generating set.
5.1 Machine safety
The generating sets come with perfectly sealed
casings, so there is no danger of contact with any
mobile parts, with high temperatures or with live
cables.
The doors open with a lock and key. The keys
must not be left within the reach of children or
inexpert people.
The generating sets
must be used only and exclusively with their
doors shut.
Remove any flammable substance from near
the generating set, for example: petrol, paint,
solvents, etc.
Make sure the hot parts of the generating sets
are not in touch with any easily flammable
material.
Never fill up the fuel tank while the generator
is running.
Never touch the generating sets or the wiring
connections with wet hands.
Never replace the fuses or the thermal
switches using others having a higher
amperage.
Should you have to check any electrical part,
this must be done only with the engine turned
off and by specialised personnel.
The generating sets were made in compliance
with the safety standards listed in the statement
of compliance.
6 USING THE GENERATING SET
6.1 Starting up the generating set
The generating sets are provided with a remote
electronic control panel which allows you to
perform starting up / turning off operations and to
check their running conditions.
The elements making them up are:
1 ON/OFF
switch
2 Display
3 High temperature indicator
4 Engine minimum oil level indicator
5 Startup failed
6 Generator
running
7 Engine oil change indicator
8 Petrol reserve indicator
9 Display changeover switch
10 Reset
Position the startup switch (Fig. 21 Ref. 1) on the
“
ON
” position. The word “WAIT” will appear on
the display for 8". When these have run out, the
electronic control panel will start the first
automatic procedure for starting up the generator
set. If the engine starts up at the end of this
phase, then “generator running” indicator (Fig. 21
ref. 6) will start to flash.
Should the engine not start up, this automatic
procedure will be repeated up to 4 times. If the
engine has not started up yet at the end of this
complete cycle, the “startup failed” indicator (Fig.
14 ref. 5) will light up to say that the generating
set has failed to start up.
If only the “startup failed” indicator (Fig. 21 ref. 5)
stays lit, you can repeat the procedure several
times.
If the generating set has not started up at all
even after many attempts, you will have to get in
touch with the After-sales service.
Only on petrol model, should the battery have run
out, you can start the generating sets by hand,
using the handle of the engine coil winding (Fig.
22 ref. 1) after having set the selector switch in
position “1” (Fig. 22 ref. 2) and the electronic
control panel in position “ON”. Once you have
started the engine up manually, put the selector
switch back in position “0” (Fig. 22 ref. 2).
The start-up battery must never disconnected: in
fact, the electronic control panel would no longer
be fed, and this would prevent the generating
sets from working.
