Remote start possibility
The "Remote start" feature of the "Automatic mains failure"
option allows to switch the unit on or off without using the
control panel located on the unit. For this purpose, the control
module provides a voltage free contact for the connection of
the remote start/stop switch (to be installed by the customer).
The unit will start in case the contact is closed (start/stop
switch in position start) and the starter switch of the control
module is in position
"Electricité de France" (EDF)
When the EDF-option is installed, the unit operates as a
standard unit when the neutral and the PE terminals are
connected to each other (see figure below). In this case, an
earth leakage at the side of the generator or at the side of the
load will switch off the circuit breaker.

When EDF-option is installed, the unit operates as EDF-unit
when the earthing, the PE and the PE EDF terminals are
connected to each other (see figure below). In this case, an
earth leakage at the side of the generator will switch off the
circuit breaker. An earth leakage at the side of the load will
not switch off the circuit breaker.

ESCRIPTION OF THE MECHANICAL OPTIONS
External fueltank connection
The option "External fueltank connection" allows to bypass
the internal fueltank and to connect an external fueltank to the
unit.
When using this option, make sure to connect the fuel supply
line as well as the fuel return line.
Undercarriage (axle and towbar)
The undercarriage is equipped with an adjustable towbar
with DIN-eye, AC-eye or ball coupling and with road
signalisation which is approved by EC legislation.
When using this option:
– Make sure that the towing equipment of the vehicle
matches the towing eye before towing the generator.
– Never move the generator while electrical cables are
connected to the unit.
– Always apply the hand brake when parking the generator.
– Leave enough space for operation, inspection and
maintenance (at least 1 meter at each side).
To maintain the undercarriage:
– Check the tightness of the towbar bolts, the axle bolts and
the wheel nuts at least twice a year and after the initial 50
hours of operation.
– Grease the wheel axle suspension bearings, the drawbar
to the steering gear shaft and the spindle of the brake
handle at least twice a year. Use ball bearing grease for
the wheel bearings and graphite grease for the drawbar
and spindle.
– Check the brake system twice a year.
– Check the condition of the vibration dampers twice a year.
– Repack the wheel hub bearings once a year using grease.
Brake adjustment
The brake adjustment consists of two consecutive actions:
the brake shoe adjustment and the brake cable and rod
adjustment.
