General information 1
The company Dometic is not responsible for any damage caused by
generator malfunctions.
1.3 Safety
The generator is installed in a closed casing. Therefore, there is no
danger of accidental contacts with moving parts or wires under voltage.
The door is fitted with a key lock which shall be kept out of reach by
children or non-authorised people.
Warning
• Check the generator before using it every time. In this way it is
possible to prevent accidents or damage to the motor.
• To prevent fire hazards and to keep the generator in an efficient
working condition, do not close the same in a case or an enclosed
space such as an alcove but install it in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep children and animals away from the generator when it is
running, as it can heat up and cause burns and injuries, both
directly and through the systems it is supplying.
• Learn how to turn the generator off quickly and how to use the
controls. Never leave the generator in the hands of people who
are not trained to use it.
• The generator must only be used with the generator door closed.
• Keep flammable substances away from the generator such as
for example: petrol, paints, solvents etc.
• Make sure that the hot parts of the generator do not come into
contact with materials that could catch fire.
• Fill the generator with fuel in a well-ventilated area with the
generator turned off. Petrol is highly flammable and can explode.
• Never overfill the fuel tank. There should not be fuel in the tank
filling throat. Check that the cap is tightly closed.
• If you spill any fuel, clean it up thoroughly and wait for the fumes
to evaporate before starting the engine.
• Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an extremely poisonous
gas, which is odourless and colourless. Avoid inhaling exhaust
gases. Do not run the engine of the generator in a closed garage
or room without very good ventilations.
• Do not touch the generator or the connections with wet hands.
• Do not replace fuses or thermal cutouts with others of a higher
amperage.
• Any checks carried out on the electric parts should be done by
authorised personnel with the engine turned off.
• Install the generator in a stable area. Do not incline the generator
by more than 20° with respect to the vertical plane.
• Sudden braking or acceleration, or curves taken abruptly with
the vehicle can cause problems in the pumping system of the
generator and make it stall.
• When storing the generator up for a long period of time, start it at
least once every 30 days and leave it running for at least 15
minutes.
• Leave the generator on for a few minutes without charge after
use before switching it off.
The generator is made to meet the safety regulations indicated in the
declaration of conformity.
1.4 Noise
The generator has been tested for noise emissions at the qualified
independent laboratory DNV Modulo Uno which has issued the EECcertificate based on EC-DIRECTIVE 2000/14.

1.5 Description of the generator
Warning
The TEC 29 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.
When the generator is hot we recommend starting by pushing the start
button briefly, while when the generator is cold hold the start button
down for longer.
1.7 Operation description
The main elements of the TEC 29 generator are: an engine (a), a
permanent magnet alternator (b), an inverter (c), an internal control
panel (d), a terminal board (e) and an external control panel (f).
When the engine runs it drives the alternator to which it is solidly connected, which in turn generates alternating current that supplies the
inverter. The inverter “converts” the voltage supplied into a higher quality,
perfectly stable voltage of 230 V and 50Hz supply.
The terminals, the socket where the extension of the external control
panel is connected and the safety switch are located on the internal
control panel.
The external control panel is equipped with:
- buttons to start and stop the generator
- a back lit LCD screen showing the main electrical properties, an
indicator shows that the generator is working properly and an hour
counter is also displayed. In the case of problem the alarm messages
are displayed on this screen.
- LED indicators indicate low levels of petrol or oil.
