TEC29 EV AUS Safety instructions
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-
ventilated 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.
• 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 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).

5 Intended use
The TEC29 EV AUS (ref. no. 9102900291) generator is 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 (AGM, Gel, lead acid and Dometic eStore
Li-Ion battery).

7 Technical description
The TEC29 EV AUS generator consists of the following main parts (fig. 2, page 9):
• Combustion engine (1)
• Alternator (2) with permanent magnets
• Stepper motor (3)
• Inverter (4)
• Internal control panel (5)
• Remote control (6)
The combustion engine (1) drives the alternator (2) connected to it, which in turn
generates AC voltage.
The inverter (4) transforms this AC voltage into a stable voltage of 230 V and 50 Hz.
The terminals, the socket for the connection cable to the digital control panel (6) and
the main switch are installed in the internal control panel (5).

8 Installation
CAUTION! Beware of injury
!
8.1 Note on installation
Read the installation manual carefully before you install the generator.
When installing the generator, note the following:
The generator may only be installed by qualified personnel from a
specialist company. The following information is intended for
technicians who are familiar with the guidelines and safety precautions
to be applied.
DANGER! Danger of electrocution
Disconnect all power supplies when working on the generator.
D
CAUTION! Beware of injury
!
• Improper installation of the generator can result in irreparable
damage to the device and put the safety of the user at risk.
• Always wear the recommended protective clothing (e.g. protective
goggles, gloves).

8.2 Securing the generator
Note on installation location
• Make sure that no combustible objects are stored or installed near the air outlet
or the ventilation slots. A distance of at least 50 cm should be kept.
• For safety reasons, note the location of existing wiring harnesses, wires and other
components within the installation area, in particular those which are not visible,
when installing the generator (when drilling or screwing etc.).
You can secure the generator with the holders supplied in two ways:
• External installation (fig. 5):
External installation has the following benefits: lower space requirement, fast
installation, easy access for maintenance work.
– To ensure the generator is attached securely, use the retaining bracket
(fig. 5 1) supplied.
– If the air intake opening of the generator is located behind a vehicle wheel,
you need to prevent the wheel from splashing any water into the generator
interior when it rains (e.g. by using a splash guard).

• Internal installation (fig. 6):
For internal installation, you need to prepare a sealed compartment against the
vehicle interior which can also be insulated against sound.
– Attach exhaust and air intake openings to the floor and in front of the
generator cover. The air intake openings must have cross-section of at least
240 cm
2
.
– You must also fit a seal (AG 128; included in the scope of delivery) made of
fire-retardant rubber with a thickness of at least 5 mm between the floor of the
vehicle and the generator.
– Fix the provided 8 washers between the floor and the vibration dampers
(2 pieces each).
• Leave a space of at least 20 mm between the generator hood and surrounding
parts so that sufficient space remains for cooling air to pass through.

8.3 Securing the silencer
Observe the following instructions when installing the exhaust pipe:
• Do not create any sharp bends which will inhibit the flow of exhaust fumes.
• Align the manifold (fig. 7 1) along the housing to ensure greater damping of
vibration.
• Use the exhaust pipe extension to extent the exhaust pipe (fig. 7 2) (see
chapter “Accessories” on page 8).
Secure the extension to the vehicle floor (fig. 7 3) according to ADR 42.8.
• If cutting the exhaust pipe, wear protective gloves and be careful of sharp edges.
➤ Secure the silencer (fig. 7 4) as in one of the alternatives shown in fig. 8,
page 16 to fig. b, page 17.
Washers, brackets and screws are not included in the scope of delivery.
