Dusk to Dawn Sensor
This unit is equipped with a "dusk to dawn" photo sensor
to detect the surrounding light level, automatically start-
ing the engine and turning the lights on at dusk. The
engine will run and the lights will remain illuminated until
dawn.
To prepare the sensor for use, perform the following
procedure at the time of day you want the lights to turn
on:
1. Verify the PowerZone–DLA is set up and the unit is
ON.
2. Slide the light shield bracket up, decreasing the
sensor's exposure to light, until the lights turn ON.
3. Tighten screws on shield.
Customer Convenience
Receptacles
See
Figure
3-11. The unit is equipped with convenience
receptacles for powering accessories or tools from the
generator. Power is supplied to the receptacles any time
the engine is running and the main circuit breaker is
switched to ON (I). Each receptacle has an individual
circuit breaker, located on the control box. Refer to
Control
Panel.

Figure 3-11. Convenience Receptacles
The circuit breakers are labeled with the corresponding
voltage for the receptacle they protect. The standard
receptacle panel is equipped
receptacles:
•
One 240V/30A Twist-lock (A)
•
One 120V/20A GFCI (B)
NOTE: Do not draw more than 800W from each
receptacle when using 1100W bulbs, 1000W when using
1000W bulbs, and 900W when using 1100W bulbs when
the lights are on. This will overload the generator and
cause the main circuit breaker to trip. Should the breaker
trip, switch off the lights, remove some of the loads
connected to the receptacles and wait 10 minutes for the
bulbs to cool before turning them back on.

With all of the lights OFF, the full generator output may be
used with the 240V twist-lock receptacle.
Shutting Down the Unit
Check with personnel using power supplied by the unit
and notify them power will be turned off. Verify the power
shutdown will not create any hazards by accidentally
turning off equipment that needs to remain running
(pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).
1. Remove all loads from the receptacles.
2. Switch the individual circuit breakers for each light
OFF (O).
3. Switch the main circuit breaker OFF (O).
4. Set the control power switch to STOP.
Shutting Down the Unit (with
PowerZone Controller, If
Equipped)
Check with personnel using power supplied by the unit
and notify them power is going to be turned off. Verify the
power shutdown will not create any hazards by
accidentally turning off equipment that needs to remain
running (pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).
1. Remove all loads from the receptacles.
2. Turn the lights OFF using the controller.
3. Switch the outlet breaker OFF (O).
4. Press the Stop (O) button.
5. After the unit shuts down, switch the main circuit
breaker OFF (O).
NOTE: Disconnect the battery if the unit is to be stored
for an extended period. Refer to the engine operator's
manual for additional extended storage procedures.
Automatic Shutdown
This unit is equipped with a low oil pressure and high
coolant temperature automatic shutdown system. This
system automatically shuts off the fuel supply to stop
engine if oil pressure drops too low or engine exceeds
normal operating temperature. Return the main circuit
breaker to OFF to reset the unit after the cause of shut-
down has been determined.
Lower Radiator Hose Heater (If
Equipped)
The lower radiator hose heater is designed to prevent
engine coolant from freezing in extreme cold weather
conditions. While the heater is designed to be operated
overnight if necessary, 2–5 hours of heating prior to
starting is usually sufficient for proper engine starting.
