2.3 Control Functions
When the Overload Alarm light comes on and power generation stops,
proceed as follows:
Smart Throttle
When the Smart Throttle switch is in the "ON"
position the smart throttle controls the engine
speed according to the connected electrical
load. The results are better fuel consumption
and less noise. When the switch is in the
"OFF" position the engine runs at 4,500 rpm
regardless of the electrical load.
Note:
The Smart Throttle must be "OFF" when using electrical
devices that require a large starting current, such as a
compressor, pump, or refrigerator.
LED Indicators
The LED Indicators assist in communicating
proper and improper functions of the unit.
Output Indicator (Green)
The Output Indicator comes on when
the engine starts and produces power.
Overload Alarm (Red)
The Overload Alarm comes on when a
connected device requires more power
than the generator is able to produce,
the inverter control unit overheats, or the
AC output voltage rises above rated
values. The Output Indicator (Green) will
go off and the Overload Alarm (Red) will
stay on, but the engine will continue to
run.
