Smart Throttle; Air Conditioning Operation - Kipor Sinemaster IG3000 Operation Manual

5.5 SMART Throttle

When the SMART throttle is placed in the on position, engine speed is kept at idle
automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and returns to the proper speed
required by the electrical load when the load is reconnected. The engine speed varies
according to the amount of load applied to the generator. Placing the smart throttle in the
on position is recommended to minimize fuel consumption and engine noise while in
operation.
When the smart throttle is in the off position, the engine runs at rated load RPM.

5.6 Air Conditioning Operation

For best results, the SMART throttle switch should be in the off position. Bring the
generator to a normal operating temperature before applying the air conditioning load.
Always allow a 2 minute wait period when manually cycling an air conditioner off and on.
A longer wait period may be required under unusually hot weather conditions. Additionally,
all other loads should be turned off until the air conditioner has started and is performing
normally. It is also important to follow the air conditioner manufacturer's instructions for
starting and restarting for proper operation. Some air conditioner manufacturers offer a
start capacitor as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor can cause the air
conditioner to draw too high a starting current and overload the generator. Contact your
air conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems starting your air conditioner with
the generator. This generator is not generally recommended for air conditioners
exceeding 13,500 BTUs.
■When high electrical load appliances are connected
simultaneously, turn the SMART throttle switch to the
OFF position to reduce voltage fluctuation.
■The SMART throttle system does not operate efficiently
if the electrical appliance will be used in a rapid on-off or
low to high rpm mode.
