change the After-sales service must reset the
Timer to make it restart from zero. To reset the
flashing light, press the switch button (4) and,
holding it down, switch on the electronic panel by
means of the switch (1).
10 GAS RESERVE INDICATOR: if a reserve de-
tector is provided in the gas tank, it is possible to
connect the suitable cable located inside the
generating set (Fig. 10 Ref. 4). This way the pilot
lamp will light up when the gas level has gone
below its reserve level.
11 BATTERY CHARGED INDICATOR: this pilot
light is illuminated as long as the voltage at the
ends of the 12Vdc terminals, located inside the
generating set, is more than 11.5 Volts.
12 MINIMUM ENGINE OIL LEVEL INDICATOR:
this pilot lamp will light up to indicate that the
level of oil in the engine has gone below the
minimum level. A safety system turns off the en-
gine automatically in order to avoid damages.
13 HIGH TEMPERATURE INDICATOR: this pilot
lamp will light up when the temperature of the
generating set goes over its safety value; the en-
gine will stop at the same time.
6.5 Notice
The warning light located inside the generating
set (Fig. 10 Ref. 7) lights up only during the
startup phase and serves to give the alternator
the startup excitation.
Remember that the battery connected to the
12Vdc terminals of the generating set performs
two functions: starting up the engine and storing
the energy supplied by the generating set; it must
therefore have a minimum value of 100 Ampere.
The Energy 8012 generating set, when in auto-
matic mode, will turn on not only when the bat-
tery is down, but also when you connect a load
such as to make the battery voltage drop below
11.5 Volts.
Applying any load higher
than the energy just then available in the bat-
tery will prevent the generating set from turn-
ing on due to insufficient voltage.
If you do not use the vehi-
cle for long periods, we recommend you to

start up the generating set periodically to en-
sure a properly charged battery.
Remember that the time which is taken by the
generating set in automatic mode to recharge the
battery may vary according to the battery status,
the amount of connected batteries and the sea-
son temperature.
Generally, the lower the temperature the less the
time required to charge the battery.
6.6 Turning the generating set off
To stop the generating set, place the switch (1) in
its "OFF" position.
