LIGHT DUTY

Light duty rating is applicable for supplying power in portable and/or intermittent applications. The average load should not be lower than 30% or higher than 80% of the rated output of the generator.

Continuous use should not exceed 5 hours and annual operation should not exceed 500 hours to be within the sanctioned parameters. 

EMERGENCY / STANDBY DUTY

Emergency duty rating is applicable for supplying power for the duration of a utility power outage. No overload capability is available.

OPTIONAL ATS PACKAGE

For added convenience, this diesel generator can be configured to work with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), or a simpler manual changeover switch (MTS / MCS). The automatic transfer set up will detect a loss of power from the mains, turn the generator on, and then turn it off again when power from the mains returns. This makes backing up your home or business completely automatic. However, the more cost effective solution is to set this generator up with a manual changeover switch. In the event of a power cut, simply turn the generator on using the key or a '2 wire start', and once up to speed, simply turn the manual changeover switch to begin powering your home/the load via the generator. When the power returns, turn the manual changeover switch back to mains power, and turn the generator off. Please note; this generator does not come as standard with any changeover switches.
