4-2-1 STATOR

The stator consists of a laminated silicon steel sheet core, a main coil which is wound in the core slots.

−−7−−

4-2-2 ROTOR

The rotor consists of a laminated silicon steel sheet core and a field coil which is wound over the core. DC current in the field coil magnetizes the steel sheet core. Two permanent magnets are provided for the primary exciting action (RGV13100T).

Slip rings are provided on the rotor shaft to receive DC exciting current from AVR (RGV12100) and diode unit (RGV13100T).

4-2-3 BRUSH / BRUSH HOLDER

An exciting current is supplied from the A.V.R to the rotor. The brushes are made of carbon and the brush-holder of plastic. It is necessary to keep the contact pressure between the brushes and slip rings withing specific limits. Thus, care must be taken of brush length.

4-2-4 CURRENT TRANSFORMER

/ DIODE UNIT (RGV13100T only)

The current transformer and diode unit will perform a role to step up the voltage lowered by the load and stabilize the output voltage.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

)

(RGV12100 only)

The automatic voltage regulator employs an electronic circuit to automatically regulate voltage.

4-2-6 ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT)

ECU controls the start/stop of an engine enabling the fuel cut while stop. It also automatically stops the engine if an abnormal oil pressure occurs.

Function Description of Operation

Warning lamp

When the lubrication oil pressure drops below the safety limit (Oil pressure becomes less than 1kg/cm

) and/or the engine speed ups above the safety limit (Engine speed increases higher than 4,500 r/min for 7 seconds), the warning lamp repeats turning on and off, and the engine stops automatically. The warning lamp turns off after 3 minutes.

Starter motor control

When the engine started and reaches 1,050 r/min, the starter motor is automatically stopped.

When the engine is operating, the starter motor can not start.

4-2-7 IDLE CONTROL UNIT

(RGV12100 only)

The idle control unit

releases throttle

valve when the applied load current exceeds

0.04A. The two output wires

from the main coils

must go through the ZCT

in the same

direction.

NOTE :

It is normal that the engine speed goes up for a moment when you turn the key switch to "STOP" while the Idle Control Switch is in "ON" position.

Function Description of Operation

Fail-safe function

When the key switch or the remote control switch is turned to "START", the fuel cut-off valve of the carburetor opens. When the key switch or the remote control switch is turned to "STOP", the fuel cut-off valve closes.

If the starter motor is locked by any reason, the starter motor is shut off automatically after 3 seconds.

When the engine dose not start (engine speed does not reach 1,050 r/min), the starter motor is stopped after 21 seconds.

When the remote controller is connected, the electric starter dose not run when the switch of remote controller is turned "OFF" even if the key switch on the generator is turned to "START".

When the engine speed increases higher than 4,500 r/min for 7 seconds, the engine is shut down automatically and the warning lamp repeats turning on and off for 3 minutes.

Self checking function for warning lamp bulb

When the key switch or remote control switch is turned to "START", the warning lamp lights up for a moment to indicate that the bulb for the warning lamp is normal.

4-2-8 OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

The oil pressure switch sends a signal to ECU to stop the engine when the engine oil pressure drops to 1.0 kg/cm

4-2-9 RELIEF VALVE

The relief valve begins to open when the engine's oil pressure increases above 3.0 kg/cm

4-2-10 AC SWITCH (NO-FUSE BREAKER)

The AC switch (no-fuse breaker) protects the generator from getting damage by overloading or short circuit in the appliance. The capacity of AC switch (no-fuse breaker) is as follows ;

4-2-11 AC Receptacle

AC receptacles are used for taking AC output power from the generator. A total of 4 kinds of receptacle, each varying in rated voltage and current from another, are used. As many AC plugs as the receptacles, each matching the corresponding receptacle, are provided. The rated current for each receptacle is shown as follows;

Be careful not to use the receptacles beyond the specified amperage limits to prevent burning.

CAUTION

To connect the appliance to the locking type receptacle, insert the plug in to the receptacle and then turn it clockwise to lock.

■

Check the amperage of the receptacles used referring to TABLE 1, and be sure not to take a current exceeding the specified amperage.

■

Be sure that the total wattage of all appliances dose not exceed the rated output of the generator.

TABLE 1

NOTE :

When the no-fuse breaker turns off during operation, the generator is over loaded or the appliance is defective. Stop the generator immediately, check the appliance and / or generator for overloading or detect and have repaired as necessary by Robin dealer or service shop.

The duplex 120V receptacle is protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). GFCI shuts off the output current from the duplex 120V receptacle when a ground fault occurs in the generator or the appliance. Please note that other receptacles are not protected by GFCI.

GFCI RECEPTACLE

After starting the engine, check the GFCI for proper functioning by the following test procedure.

■

Push blue TEST button, The red RESET button will pop out exposing the word TRIP. Power is now off at the outlets protected by the GFCI, indicating that the device is functioning properly.

■

If TRIP dose not appear when testing, do not use the generator. Call a qualified electrician.

■

To restore power, push RESET button.

If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator immediately and call a qualified electrician for checking generator and the appliances.

WARNING

CONNECTING TO DOMESTIC CIRCUIT (HOUSE WIRING)

This generator is neutral grounded type. If a generator is to be connected to residential or commercial power lines, such as a stand-by power source during power outage, all connections must be made by a licensed electrician. Failure in connection may result in death, personal injury, damage to generator, damage to appliances, damage to the building's wiring or fire.

WARNING

(a) When connecting a Robin generator to a house wiring, generator output power must be taken

from the 240V-4P receptacle.

(b) Install a transfer switch.

A transfer switch must be installed to transfer the load from the commercial power source to the generator. This switch is necessary to prevent accidents caused by the recovery from power outage. Use a transfer switch of the correct capacity. Install transfer switch between the meter and the fuse or AC breaker box.

If the neutral wire of house wiring is grounded, be sure to ground the ground terminal of the generator, Otherwise an electric shock may occur to the operator.
