Control Panel Features and Functions

(A) DC Circuit Breaker
Resets the DC electrical circuit providing power to the
control panel and engine components.
(B) 120VAC outlet breaker
Powers the 120V/20A GFCI outlet.
(C) Mast light circuit breakers (4)
Individual circuit breakers for the LED drivers and lights.
(D) Mast circuit breaker
Resets the electrical circuit for the electric winch (if
equipped).
®
(E) PowerZone –DLA
Serves as the main control unit for the light tower.
(F) 120V/20A GFCI receptacle
Customer convenience receptacle for use in connecting
auxiliary equipment such as fans, pumps, or drills.
Includes a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) test and
reset button.
(G) 240VAC/30A receptacle
Customer convenience receptacle for use in connecting
auxiliary equipment such as fans, pumps, or drills.
(H) 240VAC/30A main breaker
•
Enables high speed engine operation for 60 Hz
export power.
•
Circuit protection for 30A twist lock outlet; circuit
feed for 20A outlet breaker.
(J) Automatic Load Sense switch
Automatic Load Sense works in tandem with the
ECOSpeed™ engine to adjust engine operating speed
according to lighting and export power requirements. The
240VAC/30A main breaker (H) must be ON to enable
Automatic Load Sense.
•
Turning Automatic Load Sense switch ON
enables Automatic
setting for normal export power operation.
•
Turning Automatic Load Sense switch OFF
disables Automatic Load Sense and allows the
engine to run at high speed when the 240VAC/30A
main breaker (H) is ON. Use this setting when
connecting equipment that requires a higher
starting amperage, such as air conditioners, air
compressors, or submersible pumps.

Load Sense—the default
(K) Mast switch (if equipped)
Raises and lowers the mast on units equipped with an
electric winch.
(L) Control power switch
Enables power supply to the PowerZone–DLA.

ECOSpeed Engine

The unit is equipped with an ECOSpeed engine that runs
at variable speeds depending on the applied operational
load. Operating temperature remains constant regardless
of engine speed or applied loads.
•
The engine runs at low speed when the LED lights
are operating and the 240VAC/30A main breaker is
OFF. Lower speed conserves fuel, reduces emis-
sions and sound output, and extends total run time.
•
The engine runs at high speed when the LED lights
are turned on and the 240VAC/30A main breaker is
ON. Higher speed maximizes export of clean 60 Hz
power to the convenience outlets.
Refer to Operation for more information.
