④ “Turn OFF” the circuit breaker switch. ⑤ “Turn OFF” the power inverter main switch. *1) After turning off the power supply to the ARG , the ARG stops its operation gradually. It takes approximately 1 hour until the system stops completely.
*1) It takes approximately 1 hour until the ARG completely stops after the remote switch has been turned off. If you turn on the switch back before the ARG unit has stopped completely, self shutdown circuit may occur due to over current.
Driver, causing the whole system to stop. Note 2) If you operate the ARG for the first time, follow the procedure below and Section 5.1 “Test run”. If you turn on the ARG by the main power generator or the circuit breaker switch with the remote switch set to ON, it starts the automatic fast return function.
Safety functions The ARG has a safety device to stop the ARG automatically. When the ARG is operated under the following conditions, the safety device operates and the ARG stops. ・ The ARG generates excessive load by the operation under stormy weather or excessive high wave condition.
(1) If any abnormally is found after installation, check the system according to Table 6-1. (2) If none of the symptoms in Table 6-1 applies, please contact your sales agent whose address is shown at the end of this manual.
