4 Operating instructions
In your own interest, always strictly observe all relevant safety instructions.
Do not operate the light tower in excess of the limitations mentioned in the Technical Specifications.
Local rules concerning the setting up of low voltage power installations
(below 1000 V) must be respected when connecting site distribution panels, switch gear or loads to the light tower generator.
At each start-up and at any time a new load is connected, the earthing and protections (GB trip and earth leakage relay) of the light tower must be verified. Earthing must be done either by the earth pin or, if available, by an existing, suitable earthing installation. The protective system against excessive contact voltage is not effective unless a suitable earthing is made.
4.1
Before starting
– Perform all daily checks and maintenance as
specified in the “Maintenance schedule” on page 39.
– With the light tower standing level, check the engine oil level and top up if necessary. The oil level must be between the min and max levels on the engine oil level dipstick.
– Check the fuel level and top up if necessary. It is recommended to fill the tank after the day’s operation to prevent water vapour in a nearly empty tank from condensing.
– Check the tightness of all bolts and nuts. For
torque values, see “Critical bolt connections” on page 75.
– Check that circuit breaker Q1 is switched off.
– Check that the fuses have not tripped and that the emergency stop is in the OUT position.
– Check that the load is switched off.
4.2

4.2.1
Before the engine is started

2. Disconnect the electrical appliances connected to the socket (1).
3. Push the STOP button on the Lc1003™ module
(2) to go into cool down.
4. After cool down, which takes approx. 30 sec., put the starter switch S20 in position O (OFF) (3).
5. Place all the automatic switches in their OFF position (4).
6. If the optional External power input (230 VAC) is installed, switch S10 to O (OFF) (5). See also
“External power input (230 VAC), with battery charger” on page 66.
Should an emergency arise, it is also possible to stop the machine by pressing the EMERGENCY 'STOP' button (6). If the light tower has been stopped in this way, the emergency stop button must be released by rotating it clockwise, for next operation.

Connecting appliances
Keep in mind that this machine is a light tower, not a generator set!

3. Make sure that a correct voltage is displayed.
4. Switch on circuit breaker Q6.
5. Switch on your appliance.
Power is limited to 10 Amps!

6. If the breaker Q6 (2) trips (10 A), adjust the load until it falls within the maximum power limit allowed.
If the 4 lamps are switched ON and the load of the socket is exceeded, an
Under voltage alarm will be triggered and the engine will shutdown.
7. Make sure that the load does not exceed the nominal power of the generating set as indicated in the technical data sheet and guaranteed with a tolerance of ± 5% when the engine has run in.
For derating values, check the derating table on
page 74.
8. Make sure the load does not exceed the nominal current capacity of the socket or the cable connected to it.
Avoid long low-load periods
(< 30%). In this case, an output drop and higher oil consumption of the engine could occur. Refer to
‘Preventing low loads’.
9. Only connect the light tower directly to the mains, if the optional External power input (230 VAC) is installed. In this case use the X2 socket (3). See
also “External power input (230 VAC), with battery charger” on page 66.

Event log
The Lc1003™ module’s event log contains a list of the last 15 record electrical trip or shutdown events and the engine hours at which they occurred.
Once the log is full, any subsequent electrical trip or shutdown alarms over writes the oldest entry in the log. Hence, the log always contains the most recent shutdown alarms. The module logs the alarm, along with the engine running hours.
