2.1 Using this operating manual

In order to increase the legibility, comprehensibility and transparency of the document, certain information is highlighted or identified according a uniform system. The following particularly belong in this category: signs warning about dangers to life and limb Safety and warning notices are necessary at all locations where there is potential danger from the device which cannot be eliminated by design or operational measures. We restricted ourselves to the permitted minimum in order to place the required distinctive warning notices at the correct point in time without impair- ing the legibility and comprehensibility of the operating manual. This is according to the regulations contained in the international standard DIN ISO 3864 de- scribes a fixed rule for all safety and warning notices, as shown in the following example. Examples: DANGER! Electrical voltage Risk of suffering potentially deadly electrocution by touching live parts ► Only use undamaged connecting lines ► Avoid all damp / wetness when connecting consumers ► Never operate the power generator with an opened control panel The standard mentioned classifies the safety risks according to different risk po- tentials. To understand and avoid dangers to one’s health and even life, please be sure to read the explanations given in Chapter 4.1 . EN7 About this manual Safety symbols These warning notices are usually used in a safety symbol which also emphasis- es the type of danger; see next example. A list of the safety symbols used in this operating manual can be found in Chapter Fig. 3-1 . The safety symbols never stand alone. Notices on avoidance of damage to the device According to DIN ISO 3864, notices which warn against false operation and pos- sible damage to the device or to the equipment used should be clearly distin- guishable from previously named warning notices in as far there is no danger to health. An example of such a notice can be seen here: NOTICE! Use of wrong or outdated fuel damages or destroys the engine. ► Only use released diesel fuel. ► Observe the shelf life of the fuel according to the supplier. ► Observe the Operating manual from the engine manufacturer Symbols and formattings in the text In order to increase the legibility, comprehensibility and transparency of the doc- ument, various information and activities are awarded uniformly repeating bullets or formattings.

3.2.1 A device description and intended use

Your power generator is a mobile source of power which makes electrical energy available to operate commercially available electrical devices (hereinafter re- ferred to as power consuming equipment) with an AC voltage of 230 V. The power generator is designed for manual or use with individual electrical pow- er consuming equipment (according to VDE 100, Part 551). The protective con- ductor assumes the function of the potential equalisation line. A splash-proof protective contact socket with nominal voltage of 230 V / 50 Hz 1~ supplies the power (see Fig. 6-2 ). EN9 Product identification The generator is not to be connected up to other energy distribution systems (e.g. public power supply) or to other energy generation systems (e.g. other gen- erators, solar plant, etc.). Your generator consists of an inverter alternator which is driven by an internal combustion engine firmly screwed to it. This aggregate unit is mounted elastically with a vibration damper producing few vibrations in a protective and sound damp- ening housing. The stability and quality of the generated voltage is achieved electronically by the inverter. The generator is only to be used outdoors within the indicated voltage, output, and nominal rpm ranges (see type plate). The generator is not to be used in explosion-prone environments. The generator is not to be used in environments where there is a risk of fire. The generator must be operated according to the specifications in the technical documentation. Every inappropriate use or all activities on the generator which are not described in these instructions is forbidden misuse outside the legally defined limits of lia- bility of the manufacturer.

3.2.2 Foreseeable misuse

Apart from the description of appropriate use, the lawmaker also requires concrete references to the results of “reasonably foreseeable misuse“. In a case of incorrect use or inappropriate handling of the generator the man- ufacturer's EC Declaration of Conformity, and automatically thereby also the operating licence, are nullified. For products with a manufacturer’s war- ranty the manufacturer will reject any claims made under warranty for dam- ages which were caused by misuse and its direct as well as indirect consequences. As not authorised Misuse is particularly the case when:

• operation of the generator takes place without valid checks for – electrical safety – checking that the prescribed servicing and maintenance work has been done

• operation of the generator takes place without the protective equipment in- stalled by the manufacturer

• constructional or electrical modifications of the generator were undertaken

• use of the generator by inadequately instructed operating personnel Furthermore at all costs avoid the following Misuses:

• Never refuel the generator’s own tank when the engine is running. The vibra- tions and strong exhaust streams during operation can lead to fuel spillage. This leads to an increased risk of explosion and fire and therefore danger to operating personnel, the environment and the device.

• Never refuel the generator’s own tank when it is hot. Overflowing fuel and outflowing fuel vapours can ignite on hot parts of the device.

• The generator is never to be connected up to other energy distribution sys- tems (e.g. public power supply) or to other energy generation systems (e.g. other generators, solar plant, etc.). To start with this is usually not permitted by the energy supply company. In both cases this will inevitably lead to se- vere damage and possibly also severe injury.

• Never place the generator in explosion-prone environments. The individual components of the generator are not designed EX-protected. EN10 Product identification

• Never operate the generator in rooms, narrow pits or vehicles. The combus- tion exhaust gases contain poisonous substances including the odourless but deadly gas carbon monoxide (CO) which, when breathed in, can accu- mulate in cases of poor air circulation to reach deadly concentrations. Also a lack of fresh air circulation leads to overheating and possible damage to the generator right through to destruction.

• For the same reasons of risk, never divert exhaust gases for the purposes of heating rooms or vehicles.

• Never clean the generator with the aid of a high pressure cleaner or a strong jet of water.

• Never allow water to find its way inside the generator. Never pour water over the generator and never clean it using a water hose or a high pressure clean- er.

• Never operate the generator in any area where it could be flooded by high water or any other events. The Protection Class of the device (see Chapter 13 ) allows operation for spray water, however not in the case of floods. EN11 Product identification

4.2 General safety instructions

ENDRESS generators are designed to operate electrical equipment with appropriate power output requirements. Other uses can lead to severe in- juries to operating personnel as well as persons nearby. There is also in- creased risk of damaging the generator as well as further damage to equipment. DANGER! Mortal danger due to an electric shock if live parts are touched. ► Never operate the device if it is in a damaged condition. ► Never operate the electrical consumers and connecting cable (power con- suming equipment) in a damaged condition. ► Never feed directly into existing networks that are already connected to a power source (e.g. power supplier, solar plant, etc.). ► Never operate the device with wet hands. The majority of injuries and damage to equipment can be avoided if all instruc- tions given in this manual and all instructions attached to the device are followed. The generator must not be modified in any way, also not temporarily. This can lead to a mortal risk to operating and deployed personnel and damage to the gen- erator as well as the consumers being used. Operating company and Operating personnel may only use the generator ac- cording to regulations contained in the whole technical documentation (hereinaf- ter referred to as appropriate use). Every instance of inappropriate use as well as all activities on the generator which are not described in these instructions are forbidden misuse outside the legally defined limits of liability of the manufacturer. In return all claims for dam- ages and claims made under warranty to ENDRESS-Elektrogerätebau GmbH which are associated with misuse are null and void.

As a manufacturer of EU-compliant machines, ENDRESS make great ef- forts to create designs which already eliminate possible risk potentials at the design stage. If this is not possible without significantly impairing the functions of a device, we implement suitable protective measures protect the user from injury. If there are still some residual risks associated with working with the de- vice, we clearly advise the user about these sources of danger, possible consequences as well as measures to avoid such dangers. The residual dangers were analyzed and Residual dangers identified during the development and design of your generators by means of a danger analysis ac- cording to DIN EN 60204, DIN EN ISO 12100 and DIN EN ISO 8528-13. References to general sources of danger can be found in chapters 5 and 4.4 . From Chapter 6 one can find concrete warning notices placed before every ac- tion step which represents a residual risk. The exact structure and contents of warning notices are defined in the ISO 3864 series of standards and follow an established identification mark- ing required to immediately be able to estimate the degree of the respective EN17 For your safety danger.

8.2 ECOtronic (idle down)

Your generators is fitted with an ECOtronic function. Fuel consumption and emissions will be reduced when the ECO mode is activated, as the en- gine speed is automatically adjusted to match the power requirement of the connected consumer. This also leads to a reduction in the noise level. As the power requirement increases, the engine speed will also increase to the same extent and this ensures trouble-free operation of the connected con- sumer. The electronics raise the engine speed again as soon as the con- nected power consuming equipment is switched on in order to make the full output available. NOTICE! Always switch the ECOtronic off before you operate a very powerful con- sumer. The engine speed will increase up to nominal speed and provide full power without any delay when you turn on the consumer. Proceed as follows to run your generators in ECO mode: Requirements Generator is ready for operation The generator is started (see Chapter Fig. 7-3 ) EN38 The device in-use Switching on ECOtronic Switch the idle engine speed reduction as follows:

The drive motor for your generator, like every internal combustion engine, requires the required engine oil for cooling and inner cooling. It is also im- portant to use the correct oil, both for refilling and changing oil, and to ob- serve the prescribed maintenance intervals. To refill and when changing oil, use a commercially available multigrade oil with a viscosity of 10W-30 for four stroke engines as also used in automobile engines. This applies for use of a generator in temperate climates. At very low or very high outside temperatures it may well be necessary to use an engine oil of another viscosity. Please take more precise information from the following info. graphic. Fig. 9-1 Selection of the correct engine oil

9.3.1 Checking the oil level

Your generator is fitted with an oil lack automatic switching off system to avoid engine damage occurring due to a low engine level. It has two functions:

1) it prevents the engine from starting for an inadequate engine oil level

2) it switches off the drive motor when the engine oil level falls below the mini-

mum value while operating. If the automatic switch-off has detected a lack of oil, this is displayed by lighting up of the yellow Fig. 7-3 warning light. In order to avoid delays and interrup- tions during operation, check the engine oil level before every putting into oper- ation. Requirements Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you check: Ensure that the generator is mounted horizontally. Wait after previous operation for about five minutes before checking until the engine oil has gathered again in the oil sump to obtain a correct measure- ment. EN42 Maintenance CAUTION! The engine and operating equipment on the generator can get very hot while running. Risk of burns ► Never touch any engine parts (in particular the exhaust system) for a few min- utes after ceasing operation. ► Allow the engine to cool off for at least five minutes before changing or check- ing the engine oil.

Mortal danger from electrocution ► Never clean the device during active operation. ► Never clean the device under running water or by using a high pressure cleaner. NOTICE! Never use a garden hose to clean the generators. Water can get inside through the cooling slots and damage the device. Proceed as follows to clean the generators:

• Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or oil.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the device

• Inspect all ventilation and cooling slots to ensure that they are clean and free.

• Use a clean cloth or an air compressor (pressure must not exceed 1.7 kPa / bar) to thoroughly dry the device. EN52 Storage 10 Storage It is important to store the device at a suitable storage location as soon as your generator is no longer being used.

• The storage location must be roofed and must not be subjected to standing water, aggressive vapours or soiling as well as major accumulation of dust.

• Protect your device with a cover made out of breathable material.

• Ensure that the storage temperature and air humidity lie within the specified limits (see Technical data). Due to the limited shelf life of the different operating fluids, it is important for de- commissioning for more than one month that additional measures for storage are taken. While doing this observe the instructions given in the attached operating and maintenance instructions from the engine manufacturer. EN53 Disposal 11 Disposal Your device, which is an electrical or electronic device, is subject to European Di- rective 2012/19/EU (“WEEE directive“) which is implemented in Germany in na- tional law through the decree regulating the use of dangerous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (ElektroStoffV). This regulates disposal and use of recycling waste electrical equipment. The adjacent icon with a crossed-out wastebasket on your device states that it must not be disposed of in the house- hold waste at the end of its service life. As a private end-user (a so-called b2c customer) there are free collecting points (recycling centre) near you for electrical equipment as well as possible also other collection points available for reuse of devices. The addresses can be obtained from your city or communal authority. In as far as the old electrical and electronic equipment contains personal data, you are responsible yourself for its deletion before giving it back. Pure b2b devices (devices which, for appropriate use, or exclusively are only used the commercial area) must not be disposed of over public collecting points in Germany and further EU countries. Speak to your authorised ENDRESS gen- erator dealer about handing back your recycling waste electrical equipment. The dealer is also your point of contact for any differing regulations on the respective country of deployment. There are also possible agreements in the purchase con- tract to observe. Please observe the pertinent environmental protection regulations when dispos- ing of the old oil. We recommend bringing the oil in a closed container to an old oil collection centre for disposal. Never put used engine oil in the domestic waste. Storage or introduction of old oil into nature is associated with very high fines. An inappropriately disposed of battery can greatly damage the environment. Give back your old battery directly free of charge to your dealer when purchasing a new one. Always observe the valid local regulations and laws concerning correct disposal of all old parts and operating materials. Please contact your ENDRESS service partner for a replacement.
