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 referred to as power consuming equipment) with an AC voltage of 230 V.

The power generator is designed for manual or use with individual electrical power consuming equipment (according to VDE 100, Part 551). The protective conductor 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).

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 generators, 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 dampening 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 liability 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 manufacturer's EC Declaration of Conformity, and automatically thereby also the operating licence, are nullified. For products with a manufacturer's warranty the manufacturer will reject any claims made under warranty for damages 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 installed 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 vibrations 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 systems (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 severe 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.

EN

  • Never operate the generator in rooms, narrow pits or vehicles. The combustion exhaust gases contain poisonous substances including the odourless but deadly gas carbon monoxide (CO) which, when breathed in, can accumulate 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 cleaner.
  • 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.

4.2 General safety instructions

ENDRESS generators are designed to operate electrical equipment with appropriate power output requirements. Other uses can lead to severe injuries to operating personnel as well as persons nearby. There is also increased risk of damaging the generator as well as further damage to equipment.

Endress ESE 3000 i - General safety instructions - 1

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 consuming 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 instructions 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 generator as well as the consumers being used.

Operating company and Operating personnel may only use the generator according to regulations contained in the whole technical documentation (hereinafter 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 damages and claims made under warranty to ENDRESS-Elektrogerätebau GmbH which are associated with misuse are null and void.

4.3 Residual risks

As a manufacturer of EU-compliant machines, ENDRESS make great efforts 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 device, 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 according 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 action 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 marking required to immediately be able to estimate the degree of the respective

danger. Exactly impress upon yourself the identification marking of the four different danger levels in order to be able to reliably assess the dangers associated with the individual operating states and action steps when reading the operating manual.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING CONNECTION OF EQUIPMENTE136078

Your generator is designed for mobile use and according to the protective measure

protective separation with equipotential bonding according to DIN VDE 0100-551:2017-02 (H 60364-5-551 + A11:2016-05)

. This differentiates between commissioning undertaken by a trained electrician and that undertaken by an (electrically) untrained person. There are two options for use for the electrically untrained person:

1. connection of a single piece of equipment to the generator

In this case it is not necessary to check the electrical safety (see Chapter "Electrical safety" in the operating instructions) beyond the protective measures. The protective conductor of the ground contact socket assumes the function of the potential equalisation line. This case expressly excludes use of a power distributor (multiple socket).

2. connection of one or more pieces of equipment to the generator

In this case the above-mentioned standard requires one of the following additional protective measures:

a) protective separation with an insulation monitoring device (IMD) and automatic shut-off
b) protective separation with residual current protective (RCD) and automatic shut-off
In doing so one RCD or PRCD must be used per power socket or circuit. For 3-phase networks we recommend use of an RCD Type B.

The display has been switched over to Volts.

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 engine 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 consumer. The electronics raise the engine speed again as soon as the connected 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 consumer. 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)

11 Disposal

Endress ESE 3000 i - Disposal - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a trash bin with crossed lines indicating no waste or discharge (no text or symbols)

Your device, which is an electrical or electronic device, is subject to European Directive 2012/19/EU ("WEEE directive") which is implemented in Germany in national 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 household 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 generator 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 contract to observe.

Please observe the pertinent environmental protection regulations when disposing 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.

Your generator is designed for mobile use and according to the protective measure

protective separation with equipotential bonding according to DIN VDE 0100-551:2017-02 (H 60364-5-551 + A11:2016-05)

. This differentiates between commissioning undertaken by a trained electrician and that undertaken by an (electrically) untrained person. There are two options for use for the electrically untrained person:

1. connection of a single piece of equipment to the generator

In this case it is not necessary to check the electrical safety (see Chapter "Electrical safety" in the operating instructions) beyond the protective measures. The protective conductor of the ground contact socket assumes the function of the potential equalisation line. This case expressly excludes use of a power distributor (multiple socket).

2. connection of one or more pieces of equipment to the generator

In this case the above-mentioned standard requires one of the following additional protective measures:

a) protective separation with an insulation monitoring device (IMD) and automatic shut-off
b) protective separation with residual current protective (RCD) and automatic shut-off
In doing so one RCD or PRCD must be used per power socket or circuit. For 3-phase networks we recommend use of an RCD Type B.
