• This generator is not recommended for use with electronic
apparatus, such as televisions, hi-fis, or microcomputers,
which might not be compatible with it.
• Avoid overloading the generator; the following rules must be
respected if the generator is to perform properly:
- the sum of the power outputs of the machines connected
simultaneously to the generator must be compatible with
the characteristics given in the
- some appliances draw more power when starting up than
their nominal power rating (electric motors and
compressors are examples). We recommend that you
contact a Honda dealer in case of doubt,
- do not exceed the maximum current specified for each
receptacle.
• The generator must not be loaded to its nominal power if
conditions are such that the normal cooling requirements
are not met (atmospheric pressure: 100 kPa [1 bar]).
• When using the generator in unfavourable conditions, take
care to reduce the power load.
Example: 28 A* (* limited to x A by the circuit breaker).
INFORMATION ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
GENERATOR
• The generator windings are not connected to the earth; the
system is thus safe by construction and limits the risks of
electrocution. It is strictly forbidden to connect the coils to the
generator earth, except when using a 30 mA differential circuit
breaker for the protection of persons. The installation of such a
device must be carried out by a specialist electrician and requires
all appliances to be earthed.
• The differential circuit breaker acts as a check against faulty
insulation. It cuts off the power when there is a detectable fault in
the insulation between a voltage-bearing conductor and any part
of the earth, on the output side of the differential circuit breaker.
ECMT7000 (230 / 400 V)
• The three 230 V single-phase receptacles are connected in parallel
to the terminals of a winding specially reinforced to withstand a
current of 20 A. The single-phase 230 V power output given on the
rating plate, and also indicated in the table of characteristics, is
available only on these receptacles and when no other three-phase
load is connected to the generator's outputs. Never connect the
generator's three-phase receptacle to a single-phase splitter box.
When using simultaneously 230 V single-phase and 400 V three-
phase current, the current intensity per phase must not exceed 10 A.
Ex: Power available from receptacles for simultaneous three-
phase and single-phase use.
Three-phase 0 3000 W 4000 W
Single-phase 4500 W 1300 W 950 W
• These generator sets are equipped with thermal circuit breakers
which protect against overloading. If supply of the electric current
is interrupted during use, this may be due to overloading tripping
the thermal circuit breaker(s). In this case, wait several seconds,
eliminate the cause of the overloading and then reset the thermal
circuit breaker(s) by using knob [1] located next to the receptacles
or switch knob [2] (400 V). The thermal circuit breakers are rated
according to the characteristics of the machine. In case of
replacement, make sure to install a component manufactured by
Honda.

RECEPTACLES
When an extension cable is used equipped with a angled plug,
be sure to use a tough rubber sheathed flexible cable and a
extension cable compliant with IP X4.

OPERATION
NOTE: Do not use the voltage change over switch while the
alternator is on load. This may create a failure of the switch.

3. Ensure that the circuit breaker is reset.
• Do not connect any appliances to the receptacles before
• Do not alter the internal wiring of the generator.
• Do not alter the engine settings: the voltage and frequency
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The oil alert system is designed to prevent any risk of damage to the
engine caused by insufficient oil in the oil pan. As soon as the oil
level drops below the safe limit, the oil alert system automatically
shuts down the engine (the engine switch remains in the "ON"
position).
Use of the starter will not restart the engine until the oil level
has been topped up.
