3.1 Function and Mode of Operation
The synchronous generator is rigidly coupled to the drive Engine. The aggregate is mounted on a stable base plate and is housed elastically in a low vibration state.
Power consumption is via a splash-proof shock-proof 230 V / 50 Hz socket.
The generator's voltage regulation is provided within rated speed limits by an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
AVR = Automatic Voltage Regulator
The AVR evens out voltage peaks making it especially suitable for electronic loads, e.g. electronically regulated power tools such as drills as well as domestic appliances such as cookers, heaters, television etc.
The power generator is designed for mobile operation with one or several loads. Stationary operation required.
The power generator's potential equalization (protective separation) is implemented by means of a separate cable that must be connected to a device that is suitable for earthing. (not supplied)

All the works listed in the service plan are to be carried out in accordance with the operating and service instructions for the motor.
We recommend that these works be carried out by an authorised ENDRESS Service station.
5.3 Checking Electrical Safety
The electrical safety may only be checked by personnel authorised for this task.
The electrical safety must be checked in accordance with the applicable German VDE regulations, EN and DIN norms and the special Prevention of Accident Regulations BGV A3 in the relevant applicable version.
6 Trouble Shooting

This section describes how qualified personnel can repair problems that arise during operating.
Each problem is described with the possible cause and the applicable method by which it can be remedied.
If a problem listed in the following table cannot be repaired, the responsible personnel must switch off the power generator immediately and inform the responsible authorised service personnel.
*It is recommended that a service station be consulted for checks or repairs here
| Fault | Possible cause | Remedy |
| No power from the socket | Engine speed too low | *Adjust engine speed |
| Open circuit or short-circuited wiring | Check load | |
| Defective Condenser/AVR | *Replace Condenser/AVR | |
| Rotor or stator winding open/short-circuited | *Test winding resistance, if required replace the winding | |
| Circuit breaker in OFF position | Push circuit breaker to ON position | |
| Low output voltage with no load | Engine speed too low | *Adjust engine speed |
| Rectifier | *Test rectifier, replace if required | |
| Defective Condenser/AVR | *Replace Condenser/AVR | |
| Rotor or stator winding open/short-circuited | * Test winding resistance, if required replace the winding | |
| Generator not magnetised | *Re-magnetise generator | |
| High output voltage with no load | Engine speed too high | * Adjust engine speed |
| Engine speed too low | *Adjust engine speed | |
| Low output voltage with load | Rectifier | *Test rectifier, replace if required |
| Machine speed too low at full load | *Adjust engine speed | |
| Too much load applied | Reduce applied load | |
| Irregular output voltage | Irregular load applied | Disconnect complete load, then reconnect individually in order to determine which is causing the irregular function. |
| Noisy operation | Loose generator or machine screw | Tighten all mounting parts |
| Short-circuit in generator field/load | *Test winding resistance, replace field winding, check load appliances if required. Replace defective load appliances. | |
| Defective bearing | *Replace bearing. | |
| Engine will not start | No fuel | Check fuel |
| Fuel valve in OFF position | Push fuel valve to open position ON | |
| Rocker switch in OFF position | Push rocker switch to ON position | |
| Spark plug connector is dirty or loose | Clean spark-plug connector. Adjust aperture, replace if necessary | |
| Spark plug is dirty | Clean spark plug, replace if necessary | |
| Pilot light illuminated when starting → oil level too low | Check oil level, fill with oil if required |
