Eco Mode; Ac Circuit Breaker; Overload Reset - Westinghouse iGen2200 Manuel D'utilisation

OPERATION

ECO MODE

Always start the generator with ECO MODE OFF. Allow
the engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY
LED to illuminate before switching ECO MODE ON.
Note: Do not use ECO MODE when in parallel operation
with another Westinghouse generator.
ECO MODE minimizes fuel consumption and noise by
adjusting the engine RPM to the minimum required for the
current load.
Turn ECO MODE ON when powering small appliances
with continuous loads such as a computer or electric light.
Turn ECO MODE OFF when powering large surge loads
such as an air conditioner or electric pump.
To turn on ECO MODE, verify that the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated green, then push the switch to the ON
position. If no load is present, the generator RPM will drop
to idle speed. The generator will detect loads as they are
applied and increase engine RPM.
To run the generator at maximum power and RPM, push
the ECO MODE switch to the OFF position.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKER

The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there
is a short circuit, a significant overload of the generator at
the receptacle, or if the combined load exceeds 15 Amps.
If the AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working correctly and it does
not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before
resetting the circuit breaker.

OVERLOAD RESET

The generator will automatically switch OFF all AC output
to protect the generator if overloaded or if there is a short
circuit in a connected appliance. However, the engine will
continue to run. Marginal overloading that temporarily
illuminates the OVERLOAD LED may shorten the service
life of the generator.
OVERLOAD on the control panel will illuminate red and
the green OUTPUT READY will be OFF.
To restore AC output:
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
2. Push the RESET button on the control panel until the
OVERLOAD LED goes OFF and the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated.
3. Reset the circuit breaker if OFF.
4. Verify that the intended running and surge loads do not
exceed the generator's capacity.
5. Reconnect electrical loads sequentially, allowing the
generator to stabilize after each load is connected.
