!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 touch the hot parts (exhaust chain, outlet collector, flexible
hose and external silencer) of the generator (fig. 1, page 3).
• Do not refuel the generator when the vehicle engine is running if the
tank is in the vicinity of the generator.
• If petrol is spilled, wipe it up properly and wait until the fumes have
cleared before turning on the engine.
• 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!
• 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 to 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.
• In case of an accident, immediately disconnect the device from the
power supply.
ANOTICE!
• Only operate the device if you are certain that the housing and the
cables are undamaged.

!WARNING!
• If you have suffered an electric shock: consult a doctor and seek med-
ical treatment immediately.
• If you have inhaled exhaust fumes: consult a doctor and seek medical
treatment immediately.
• If you have swallowed electrolyte: drink very much water or milk and
consult a doctor immediately.

Dometic reserves the right to change product appearance and product
specifications.
7 Technical description
The TEC29 EV generator consists of the following main parts (fig. 2, page 3):
•Combustionengine(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: fig. a, page 8.
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).
• Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the cut-out switch to trigger.
• 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.
CAUTION!
• Fuel and fumes associated with generator sets can be flammable and
potentially explosive. Proper care in handling these materials can
limit the risk of fire explosion. Fully charged BC and ABC fire extin-
guishers must be kept on hand. The user must to be familiar with the
operation of the fire extinguisher. Inspect the fire extinguisher and
service the fire extinguisher regularly. Obey the recommendations
on the instruction plate.
• Beware of hot parts of the genset!
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.
• If used at high ambient temperature, altitude or humidity, the power
is reduced.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the intake
grille.

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. 31, page 4) in the control panel.
8.3 Switching the remote control on and off
This switch on the remote control (fig. 42, page 4) is for switching the remote
control on and off.
➤Switch the remote control on with the on/off switch.
✔The display shows: GEN OFF.
The display switches off automatically after 5 minutes if the start button is not
touched within this time.
Press the start button to switch on the display again.
✔The generator can now be started.
8.4 Starting the generator
The generator can only be started if it is in standby and the remote control is switched
on.
I
➤Start up the generator with the start button (fig. 43, page 4).
8.5 Stopping the generator
➤Stop the generator with the on/off switch (fig. 42, page 4).
If the generator does not stop: switch it off with the main switch (fig. 31,
page 4).
NOTE
If the generator is still warm, press the start button briefly to start it; press
longer for a cold generator.

8.6 Display messages
Display message
Description Generator behaviour Measures
LOW BATTERY
The battery voltage has fallen
below the minimum value for
starting up (9 V).
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. 7,
page 6)” on page 26), then
restart the generator by pressing
and holding down the start but-
ton.
NO FUEL
The fuel in the tank is in reserve.
The generator continues to run. Refuel.
OIL ALERT
Insufficient engine oil.
The generator stops. Fill up with oil (see chapter
“Checking the oil level” on
page 21).
GENERATOR ALERT!
General alarm message
Example: The control ring on the
throttle valve of the carburettor
(stepper motor) is faulty.
The generator stops. Check the system by referring to
the troubleshooting table.
If the problem persists, contact
the manufacturer's branch office
in your country (addresses on the
back page).
OVERLOAD!
The consumers generate an
overload at the output.
The inverter switches off, there-
fore no voltage is supplied but
the engine carries on running
until it goes off.
Reduce the connected load and
start the generator again.
SHORT CIRCUIT
The consumers cause a short cir-
cuit at the output.
The inverter switches off, there-
fore no voltage is supplied but
the engine carries on running
until it goes off.
Check the connected consum-
ers then start the generator
again.
OVER TEMPERATURE
Overheating
The inverter switches off so no
voltage is supplied to cool the
generator, but the engine car-
ries on running.
Leave the engine to cool down
for a few minutes then start the
generator again.
LOW POWER ENGINE
The inverter supply voltage has
dropped.
The generator stops. Reduce the connected load and
start the generator again.
