Maintenance - Allmand NIGHT-LITE NL5000 Manual Del Operario

• Turn on the main light breaker (A, Figure 19) (if set to
OFF).
• Turn on individual light switches (B, Figure 19) (1 - 4, if
set to OFF).
The breaker / switches may also be used if manual and indi-
vidual light control is desired.
Turning The Lights Off
The tower lights will automatically turn off when the engine is
shut down. (There is a 0.3-second delay built into the electri-
cal system to protect the capacitors.) If desired, however, the
lights can be turned off without shutting the engine down:
• To turn off individual lights, turn indiviual light switches
(1-4) to OFF.
• To turn off all lights, turn the main light breaker to OFF.

Auxiliary AC Outlets
The control panel is equipped with a standard GFCI outlet (A,
Figure 20) and an optional Twistlock outlet (B).
Power is supplied to the outlet(s) only when the engine is
running and the main circuit breaker (C, Figure 20) is in the
ON position.
NOTE: The electrical system is designed with a 20-second
delay after the engine starts before the lights and auxiliary
AC outlet(s) will operate.
Each outlet is protected by a dedicated circuit breaker: 20
amp for GFCI (D, Figure 20), 30 amp for Twistlock (E).
If a breaker trips
1. Disconnect the load from the outlet.
2. Turn off the tower lights or shut down the engine.
3. Wait 10 minutes for the generator to cool down.
4. Correct the load problem.
5. Start the engine or turn on the tower lights.
6. Reset the breaker.
NOTE: Be sure to also check the GFCI breaker on the
GFCI outlet, and reset if necessary.
7. Reconnect the load.
8. If the problem persists, see Troubleshooting.
