2.1 General safety
!WARNING!
•Electrical devices are not toys
Keep electrical devices out of reach of children or infirm persons. Do
not allow them to use electrical devices without supervision.
•People (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental
capacities prevent them from using this device safely may not be
allowed to operate it without the supervision of a responsible adult.
•Only use the device as intended.
•Do not make any alterations or conversions to the device.
•Installation, maintenance and repairs of the generator may only be
carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the risks
involved when handling generators as well as the relevant regulations.
Inadequate repairs may cause serious hazards. For repair service,
please contact the manufacturer's branch office in your country
(addresses on the back page).
•Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic,
odourless and colourless gas. Do not inhale any exhaust fumes. Do
not leave the generator motor running in a closed garage or in a room
without windows.
!CAUTION!
•The generator may only be used with the front door closed.
•Remove all flammable materials such as petrol, paints, solvents, etc.,
from the vicinity of the generator.
•Ensure that hot parts of the generator do not come in contact with any
flammable materials.
•Only refuel the generator when it is switched off and in a well-venti-
lated area. Petrol and liquid gas are highly flammable and can
explode.
•Do not refuel the generator when the vehicle engine is running if the
tank is in the vicinity of the generator.
•TEC29 EV only: If petrol is spilled, wipe it up properly and wait until
the fumes have cleared before turning on the engine.
•TEC29 EV LPG only: Compare the pressure information on the type
plate with the pressure information on the liquid gas cylinder.
•TEC29 EV LPG only: Never store liquid gas cylinders in unventi-
lated areas or below ground level (funnel shaped holes in the ground).

EN
TEC29 EV, TEC29 EV LPG Target group for this manual

•TEC29 EV LPG only: Keep liquid gas cylinders away from direct
sunlight. The temperature may not exceed 50 °C.
•Do not touch the generator and the cables with wet hands.
•Replace the fuses or thermo switch using only those with the same
technical data.
•Do not switch the generator to automatic mode near any ignition
sources (such as petrol stations, dry areas with risk of forest fires).
ANOTICE!
•TEC29 EV only: Do not fill up the tank too full. Petrol must not be
allowed to fill up to the neck of the tank. Check the lid is on properly.
•If a welding operation has be done on the vehicle disconnect all
generator cables, otherwise the electronics may be damaged.
2.2 Operating the device safely
!WARNING!
•Always disconnect the power supply when working on the device.
ANOTICE!
•Only operate the device if you are certain that the housing and the
cables are undamaged.

6 Intended use
The TEC29 EV (reference no. 9102900299) and TEC29 EV LPG (reference no.
9102900302) generators are designed for use in motor homes, camper vans and
vehicles for commercial use.
The generator is not suitable for installation in water vessels.
The generator produces a pure sine wave voltage of 230 V/50 Hz which can be
connected to the consumer with a total continuous load of 2600 W. The power
quality is also suitable for sensitive consumers (such as PCs).
The generator can charge a 12 V battery.
7 Technical description
The TEC29 EV and TEC29 EV LPG generators consist of the following main parts
(fig. 1, page 3):
•Combustion engine (1)
•Alternator (2) with permanent magnets
•Inverter (3)
•Internal control panel (4)
•Remote control (5)
The combustion engine (1) drives the alternator (2) connected to it, which in turn
generates AC voltage.
The inverter (3) transforms this AC voltage into a stable voltage of 230 V and 50 Hz.
The terminals, the socket for the connection cable to the remote control (5) and the
main switch are installed in the internal control panel (4).
Overview of the components:
•TEC29 EV: fig. 0, page 8.
•TEC29 EV LPG: fig. a, page 9
The generator has the following features:
•Integrated battery charger for charging the connected battery
•Automatic mode for charging the connected battery automatically (must be
configured accordingly when installed)

8.1 Basic notes on operation
!
Please note the following basic information:
•Always check the oil level before use (chapter “Checking the oil level” on
page 21).
•TEC29 EV LPG only: Check there are no leaks from the gas supply using a leak
detection spray before every use.
•Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the cut-out switch (TEC29 EV) or
the fuses (TEC29 EV LPG) to trigger.

10 Messages Status reports of the generator (see chapter
“Display messages” on page 19)
NOTICE!
Do not run the generator over 70 % of the maximum constant output for
the first 50 operating hours (run-in phase).
NOTE
Run the generator at a maximum of approx. 75 % of the maximum
continuous load after the run-in phase.
By doing this you can prolong the service life of the generator and
maximise its efficiency.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the intake
grille.

•Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any consumers
before stopping it.
•Abrupt braking, accelerating and driving round bends in the vehicle can cause
problems in the generator's pump system and lead to unwanted shutdown.
•If you are not using your generator for a longer period of time, start it up at least
every 30 days and leave it running for 15 minutes or more.
8.2 Switching the generator to standby or no function
The generator can be switched to standby or no function with the main switch
(fig. 21, page 4) in the control panel.

Description Generator behaviour Measures
LOW BATTERY
The battery voltage has fallen
below the minimum value for
starting up (9V).
The generator does not start. Charge the battery.
OIL CHANGE
The number of prescribed oper-
ating hours has been reached for
changing the engine oil.
The generator continues to run. Change the oil (see chapter
“Changing the oil (fig. 6,
page 6)” on page 26), then
