1.5 Description of the generator

 

Warning

The TEC 40D generator has been designed and produced to be used only on caravans, motor homes and commercial vehicles.

Therefore it has not been designed to be used on other types of vehicles or on any kind of watercraft. The company Dometic, as it is impossible to envisage every possible use and type of installation, declines any responsibility for every type of use and installation which is not explicitly mentioned.

The generator has been designed to produce alternating current at 230V and 50 Hz, capable of supplying power to various systems. Therefore it is fitted with an inverter, so that it can supply systems that are very sensitive to the quality of the energy supplied, such as personal computers for example.

The generator is installed in a sheet metal steel casing which is insulated and soundproofed with special soundproofing materials.

1.6 Recommandations for use

To use the generator in the best way it is a good idea to pay attention to even small overloads, which if prolonged, will cause the protective thermal cutouts to trip.

When running in it is important not to put the new engine under a load that exceeds 70 % of the nominal load, at least for the first 50 working hours; then we recommend a normal use of the generator with a load equal to roughly 3/4 of the maximum declared continuous load, this in order to prolong the life of the generator and maximize efficiency.

1.7 Fuel

All diesel oils which satisfy the following specifications are suitable:

EN 590 or

DIN 51601 - DK or

BS 2869 A1 / A2 or

ASTM D975 -1D / 2D

At temperatures below 0°C, winter-grade fuel should be used or paraffin added to the fuel well in advance.
