Caution!
Important notes on commissioning and op-
eration of the construction and assembly lo-
cations.
For this operation special protective measures and rules
of behaviour for commissioning must be observed ac-
cording to the DGUV Information 203-032 Mai 2016 Edi-
tion.
The following pages 3 and 4, notes on the DGUV Infor-
mation 203-032, supplement the operating manual for
this special application.
One is recommended to read the DGUV Information 203-
032 before performing the first commissioning. In cases
of doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Operation of the generator on construction and assem-
bly locations according to DGUV Information 203-
032(BGI867).
The following notes should be observed:
Protective measures and rules of behaviour
The operating instructions from the manufacturer and
the accident prevention regulations must be observed
and followed.
Only instructed persons may work with electrical equip-
ment.
If mobile generators of type Aare only operated with
one consumer, no further protective measures needed
to be taken.
If mobile generators of type Aare operated with many
consumer, additional protective measures needed to be
taken:

Table of Contents
4ESE 406 - 606 (D)HG-GT (ES) Duplex Status: August 2017
-residual current protection devices (RCDs) with a
rated differential current not greater than 30 mA
(0.03 A) for the second and every additional con-
sumer.
or
-a separating transformer for the second and every
additional consumer for increased danger through
having a conductive environment with limited free-
dom of movement.
one may not use a PRCD-S here as a residual current
protection device since it cannot be switched on.
for generators with an insulation monitoring device (IMD)
the same requirements apply.
Only rubber-insulated flexible cables of the type H07RN-
F or H07BQ-F may be used on construction and assem-
bly locations.
Electrical equipment must be spray water protected and
meet the regulations for rough operation
The generators of type A are marked as follows.
The generators of type C (with integral RCDs) and their des-
ignation, see Chapter 5.1.
Also observe the important information for connection of con-
sumers on the supplementary sheet “Important note for gen-
erators with a connection for potential equalization“.

1.General information
These operating instructions must be read carefully and un-
derstood before using the generator.
These operating instructions are intended to familiarise you
with the basic operation of the generator.
These operating instructions contain important information on
using the generator safely and appropriately.
Complying with this information helps to:
avoid hazards
reduce repair costs and downtime
increase the reliability and service life of the generator.
However, not only these operating instructions but also the
laws, regulations, guidelines, and standards applicable in the
country of use and at the site of operation must be observed.
These operating instructions only describe the generator op-
eration.
A copy of these operating instructions must stay with the de-
vice and be available to the operating personnel at all times.
To do this there is a document compartment on the engine
side of the generator under the fuel tank (see Figure 1-1).

2.General Safety Regulations
This section describes the basic safety regulations for operat-
ing the generator.
Whoever operates the generator or works with it must read
this chapter and comply with its regulations in practice.
Important safety warning
ENDRESS generators are designed to operate electrical
equipment with appropriate power output requirements. Other
applications can lead to injury to the operating personnel and
to damage to the generator as well as other damage to equip-
ment.
The majority of injuries and damage to equipment can be
avoided if all instructions given in this manual and all instruc-
tions attached to the generator are followed.
The generator must not be modified in any way. This can lead
to an accident occurring and damage to the generator as well
as devices.
WARNING!

General Safety Regulations
Important safety warning
14 ESE 406 - 606 (D)HG-GT (ES) Duplex Status: August 2017
The following actions are not permitted.
Operation in explosion-prone environments
Operation in fire-prone environments
Operation in confined areas
Operation in vehicles
Operation without the necessary safety redundancies
Operation in existing power supply networks
Refuelling when hot
Refuelling during operation
Spraying with high-pressure cleaners or fire-extinguish-
ing equipment
Safety equipment removal
Incorrect vehicle installation
Non-compliance with maintenance intervals
Failure to measure and test for early damage identifica-
tion
Failure to replace wearing parts
Incorrectly performed maintenance or repair work
Defectively performed maintenance or repair work
Unintended use
2.1.1 Intended use
The generator produces electricity in place of the power grid,
in order to supply a mobile distribution system.
The generator is only to be used outdoors within the indicated
voltage, output, and nominal rpm ranges (see nameplate
Chapter 2.5).
You are also permitted to use it on a vehicle extension or swiv-
elling platform in both extended and swung out states, provid-
ing that the air circulation is uninterrupted on all sides of the
alternator and that the exhaust gases are dispersed correctly.
This is especially relevant as access to the side with the in-
strument panel and the side with the exhaust gas connection
must be unrestricted.
The methods that will be used to install the generator on these
vehicle platforms require written approval from the distributor
that supplied the generator.

General Safety Regulations
Important safety warning
Status at: August 2017 ESE 406 - 606 (D)HG-GT (ES) Duplex 15
The generator is not to be connected up to other energy dis-
tribution systems (e.g. public power supply) or to other energy
generation systems (e.g. other generators).
The generator is not to be used in explosion-prone environ-
ments.
The generator is not to be used in fire-prone environments.
The generator must be operated according to the specifica-
tions in the technical documentation.
Everyinappropriate useor all activities on thegenerator which
are not described in these instructions are forbidden misuse
outside the legally defined limits of liability of the manufac-
turer.
2.1.2 Foreseeable incorrect use or inappropriate handling
Foreseeable incorrect use or inappropriate handling of the
generator nullifies the manufacturer's EC Declaration of Con-
formity and automatically thereby the operating licence.
Foreseeable incorrect use or inappropriate handling include:
Operation in explosion-prone environments
Operation in fire-prone environments
Operation in rooms or narrow pits
Operation from a vehicle platform that has not been swung
out
Operation without the necessary safety redundancies
Operation in existing power supply networks
Refuelling when hot
Refuelling during operation
Spraying with high-pressure cleaners or fire-extinguishing
equipment
Safety equipment removal
Incorrect vehicle installation
Non-compliance with maintenance intervals
Failure to measure and test for early damage identification
Failure to replace wearing parts
Incorrectly performed maintenance or repair work
Defectively performed maintenance or repair work
Unintended use
