Recreational Vehicle Generators

‹2.7.2 DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR

Read the rated wattage/amperage capacity of the gen- erator on the generator data decal (see Section 1.1).

Applying electrical loads in excess of the unit’s rated capacity will cause the engine/generator to automati- cally shut down.

To avoid overloading, add up the wattage of all con- nected electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads. This total should not be greater than the generator’s rated wattage capacity.

•Most lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads indicate their required watts on their nameplate or data plate. For light bulbs, simply note the wattage rating of the bulb.

•If a load does not show its rated wattage, multiply that load’s rated VOLTS times AMPS to obtain

WATTS.

•Induction type motors (such as those that run the vehicle’s furnace fan, refrigerator, air conditioner, etc.) need about 2-1/2 times more watts of power for starting than for running (for a few seconds during motor starting). Be sure to allow for this when connecting electrical loads to the genera- tor. First, figure the watts needed to start electric motors in the system. To that figure, add the run- ning wattages of other items that will be operated by the generator.

•Do not apply heavy electrical loads for the first two or three hours of operation.

2.8PROTECTION SYSTEMS

‹2.8.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

This switch (Figure 2.3) has normally closed (N.C.) contacts that are held open by engine oil pressure during cranking and operating. Should oil pressure drop below a preset level, switch contacts close, and the engine automatically shuts down. The unit should not be restarted until oil is added.

‹2.8.2 HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH

This switch (Figure 2.3), which has normally open (N.O.) contacts, is mounted near the oil filter. The contacts close if the temperature should exceed approximately 270º F (132º C) for gasoline models, and 284° F (140° C) for LP models, initiating an engine shutdown.

High Temperature Switches

‹2.8.3 FIELD BOOST

The Controller Circuit Board houses a field boost diode and resistor that are not part of the automatic choke circuit. These two components are part of a “field boost” circuit (Figure 2.4). During engine cranking only, a positive DC (battery) voltage is deliv- ered through a diode, resistor, brushes, slip rings, and the generator rotor. Application of this voltage to the rotor “flashes the field” whenever it is started. Flashing of the field each time the generator starts makes sure that a sufficiently strong magnetic field is available to produce “pickup” voltage in the stator windings.

Guardian Technologies has established itself as a prominent leader in the realm of air purification with its innovative product line, specifically the models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Each model combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to ensure a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

One of the standout features across these models is the use of True HEPA filtration. This technology efficiently captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This is essential for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, providing peace of mind through cleaner air.

In addition to the HEPA filters, Guardian Technologies incorporates activated carbon filters in these models. This feature helps reduce unwanted odors from pets, cooking, and household chemicals, making the air in your home more pleasant. The combination of HEPA and activated carbon makes these models effective for comprehensive air purification.

These models also integrate smart technology, offering user-friendly controls that simplify operation. Many units are equipped with filter change indicators, ensuring users are alerted when it’s time to replace the filters. This promotes optimal air quality and prolongs the efficiency of the machines.

The Guardian Technologies models have a compact and modern design, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any home or office decor. Their lightweight design facilitates easy mobility, enabling users to place them in various locations as needed.

Energy efficiency is another significant characteristic featured in these air purifiers. Many of the models are ENERGY STAR certified, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only helps reduce electricity costs but also makes these purifiers an environmentally friendly choice.

Noise levels are kept to a minimum with these units, ensuring they operate quietly without disrupting daily activities such as work, sleep, or family time. This is particularly important in shared living spaces, where background noise can be a concern.

Overall, Guardian Technologies presents an impressive lineup of air purifiers through models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Their combination of advanced filtration, smart technology, energy efficiency, and stylish design positions them as excellent options for anyone looking to improve their indoor air quality. Whether in a home or office, these models contribute significantly to a healthier living environment, making them a worthy investment for consumers seeking enhanced air purification solutions.
