CONTROL FUNCTION
4.3 Overload indicator light (red)
The overload indicator light (1) comes on when an overload of a
connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit
overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then, the AC protector will
trip, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and any
connected electric devices. The AC pilot light (Green) will go off and the
overload indicator light (Red) will stay on, but the engine will not stop
running.
When the overload indicator light comes on and power generation stops,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine.
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the
rated output.
3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control
unit. If any blockages are found, remove.
4. After checking, restart the engine.
TIP: The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at first
when using electric devices that require a large starting current, such as
a compressor or a submergible pump. However, this is not a malfunction.
4.4 AC pilot light (green)
The AC pilot light (1) comes on when the engine starts and produces
power.
