Product identification Product identification Welcome to ENDRESS! We are pleased that you have made the decision to purchase a ENDRESS power generator. You have purchased a high-performance product into which we have embodied decades of our experience and have integrated many functions oriented on daily use.
Product identification Your power generator has been designed for manual or automatic operation (re- mote start) with one or more electrical consumers. To protect against electric shock (i.e. current flowing through your body), automatic switch-off according to DIN VDE 0100-551: 2017-02 is used as the protective separation measure. The protective conductor system from the attached consumers will take over the earthing function.

Product identification • software was modified or changes were made to the generator's factory set- tings • use of the generator by inadequately instructed operating personnel Furthermore at all costs avoid the following Misuses: • Never refuel the generator’s own tank when the engine is running. The vibra- tions and strong exhaust streams during operation can lead to fuel spillage.
Product identification Scope of delivery of your generator Apart from the technical documentation mentioned in Chapter 2.1 the following items are Scope of delivery of your generator: Fig. 3-2 Included with delivery Item Name Earth stake with connection cable Key for POWERLOCK BOX (optional) Universal key for access hatch Filling aid with hopper Technical documentation, see Chapter 2.1...
Product identification Labels on the generator An important part of the operating manual is the labelling and notices on your generator. These labels must not be removed and must always be maintained in legible condition. If there is damage to a Labels can be ordered from our custom- er service team.

For your safety For your safety The following chapter describes basic Safety instructions for safe operation of your generator. Your device is a very high-performance electrical machine which is potentially dangerous when operated if it has not been installed, commis- sioned, used, serviced and repaired according to the operating manual.
Page 17
For your safety Warning of corrosive substances This warning symbol indicates activities where a risk of chemical burns to the en- vironment as well as people exists, possibly with lethal consequences. Warning of environmentally damaging substances This warning symbol indicates activities where a risk of contaminating the envi- ronment exists, possibly with catastrophic consequences.
Residual risks As a manufacturer of EU-compliant machines, ENDRESS make great ef- forts to create designs which already eliminate possible risk potentials at the design stage. If this is not possible without significantly impairing the functions of a device, we implement suitable protective measures protect the user from injury.
Page 19
For your safety four different danger levels in order to be able to reliably assess the dan- gers associated with the individual operating states and action steps when reading the operating manual. DANGER! DANGER describes a danger which represents a high level of risk,which can lead to death or severe injuries,when not avoided.
Page 20
For your safety DANGER! Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous and partially invisible gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Risk of death due to poisoning or asphyxiation. ► Ensure that there is good ventilation during the whole period of operation. ►...
Page 21
For your safety WARNING! Escaping corrosive acid fumes or sulphuric acid during and after the charging process. A risk of suffering severe or even deadly burns. ► Only work with acid-resistant protective equipment. ► Clean surfaces covered in acid immediately using adequate amounts of wa- ter.
Page 22
For your safety NOTICE! Excessive heat or moisture can destroy the device. ► Always ensure that there is a good supply of air and heat removal. ► Never operate the generator in rooms or narrow pits. ► Never clean the device with the aid of a strong jet of water or high pressure cleaner.
For your safety Authorised operating personnel – qualifications and obligations Your Generators is a complex machine, the operation and maintenance of which requires exact knowledge of its functions and danger potentials. Therefore any work with or on the device, of any kind, may only be per- formed by authorised and instructed operating personnel.

Checking the electrical safety Checking the electrical safety Checking electrical safety requires different measures that are only to be taken by authorized personnel. In doing so the pertinent VDE provisions, EN and DIN standards, in their valid versions, must be observed. For use at construction or assembly sites, the DGUV Information 203-032 edition of May 2016 must be observed.
Page 26
Checking the electrical safety In addition to the details given above, the electrical safety of the Generators is to be checked by a qualified electrician at regular intervals. The periods between testing must be established in such a way that the Generators and all work equip- ment to be connected can, based on current general knowledge, operational ex- perience or specific evidence, be safe to use in the period between the two inspections.

Optional fittings Optional fittings Powerlock-Box The POWERLOCK BOX allows secure connection of powerful consumers through individual cores with current strength up to 660 A. It therefore has comparable output data to a traditional terminal strip, but it has the advan- tage of tool-free connection without an electrical expert.
Optional fittings 6. Then secure all locks by turning the lock with the square wrench anti-clock- wise to the stop. 7. Switch the circuit breaker for the POWERLOCK BOX to position “1” or “ON”. The consumer is securely connected and can be operated. NOTICE! If one of the plug connections or the lock cannot be locked, one of the pre- vious plug connections has not been locked properly.
Optional fittings External battery charging The additional option for external battery charging ensures that the drive engine’s starter battery is permanently charged. This increases safety of use by enabling trouble-free engine start-up (if the starter battery is in per- fect condition). With this option, your Generators has an integrated auto- matically operated battery charger that is supplied with a 230 V AC connection.

Maintenance 10 Maintenance Generators maintenance is described in this section. It may only be per- formed by qualified specialist personnel. Maintenance and repair which is neither described in this operating manual nor in the possibly also delivered operating and maintenance instructions may only be undertaken by authorized service personnel from the manu- facturer.
Maintenance 10.3 Starter battery 10.3.1 Replacing the battery WARNING! There is a risk of explosion and fire in the case of inappropriate handling and spark development when working with the battery. Danger from spraying sulphuric acid. Danger of suffering severe even deadly burns and chemical burns.
Maintenance 4. Undo both fastening nuts and remove the battery’s holding bracket. Fig. 10-1 5. Remove the battery from the power generator. The starter battery is now removed. 6. Prepare a new starter battery (follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions). 7. Place the starter battery in the battery compartment. 8.
Page 67
Maintenance To suction out used oil, you also need an oil-resistant hose whose diameter cor- responds to the pump opening (see - ) a suitable oil collection pan (not included with delivery).Below, only the procedures that differ from the engine operating manual are explained.
Maintenance 10.5 Checking the coolant We have filled your power generator’s cooling circuit with premium coolant that ensures long-term material compatibility, and protection from corrosion and frost. The specification G12+ additive is free of nitrite, amine, phosphate and silicate and is mixed to ensure frost protection to at least a –25°C ambient temperature. So as not to impair the protective effect, use only a maximum 50% mixture for refilling.
Storage 11 Storage It is important to store the device at a suitable storage location as soon as your generator is no longer being used. • The storage location must be roofed and must not be subjected to standing water, aggressive vapours or soiling as well as major accumulation of dust. •...
Pure b2b devices (devices which, for appropriate use, or exclusively are only used the commercial area) must not be disposed of over public collecting points in Germany and further EU countries.
