Westinghouse iGen4500DFc Dual Fuel Digital Variable Frequency Generator

Core parameters and positioning of the product

1. Basic specifications and core configuration

Westinghouse iGen4500DFc is a dual fuel digital variable frequency generator designed for home emergency, outdoor camping, and RV RV power supply. Its core advantages include flexible switching between gasoline/propane, low noise, low harmonic distortion, and multiple safety protections, making it suitable for sensitive electronic devices and high-power load scenarios.

Detailed Explanation of Category Core Parameters

Power Performance Gasoline Mode: Rated 3700W/Peak 4500W

Propane mode: rated 3330W/peak 4050W total harmonic distortion (THD) ≤ 3%, can safely supply power to sensitive equipment such as computers and televisions; For every 1000 feet (305 meters) increase in altitude, the power decreases by 3.5%. For altitudes above 5000 feet, a high-altitude kit must be installed

The engine displacement of the power system is 224cc, and the single cylinder four stroke starting method includes manual start, electric start, and remote start (up to 30 meters away); Recommended engine oil: 10W-30 (can be replaced with 5W-30 synthetic oil at extreme temperatures), oil capacity 0.6L (0.63 US quarts)

Fuel configuration gasoline: 3.4 gallon (12.8L) fuel tank

Propane: Compatible with standard gas cylinders with OPD valves. Gasoline requirements: octane number 87-93, ethanol content ≤ 10% (E15/E85 prohibited); Propane hose with pressure reducing valve, length compatible with conventional gas cylinders

Output interface 120V 20A dual socket (NEMA 5-20R) × 1

120V 30A RV socket (NEMA TT-30R) x 1

5V/2.1A USB interface x 2

Parallel operation interface x 2 parallel requires separate purchase of 50A parallel line (Part # 507PC), with a rated power of up to 7400W after dual machine parallel operation (gasoline mode)

Environmental adaptability working temperature: -9.4 ° C~50 ° C (5 ° F~122 ° F)

Maximum ambient temperature: 40 ° C (104 ° F) Storage temperature: -40 ° C~60 ° C, relative humidity 0~90% (no condensation); 1.5 meters of ventilation space should be reserved during operation

Safety protection CO sensor, low oil automatic shutdown, overload protection, short circuit protection CO sensor over limit automatic shutdown, triggering sound and light alarm when low oil/overload occurs, circuit breaker automatically trips

2. Core advantages and positioning

Dual fuel flexibility: gasoline mode has higher power (suitable for high-power loads), propane mode is clean, environmentally friendly, and safe to store (no volatilization risk), can be switched according to the scenario, and is more reliable in emergency situations.

Advantages of frequency conversion technology: Digital frequency conversion adjusts engine speed, with noise as low as 52 decibels in ECO mode (equivalent to daily conversation), fuel consumption as low as 0.6 gallons per hour (light load), and a maximum range of 18 hours (full tank of gasoline+light load).

Multi scenario adaptation: household emergency power supply for refrigerators, air conditioners, and lighting fixtures; Outdoor camping compatible with projectors and cooking utensils; RV RV dedicated 30A socket provides direct power without the need for adapter.

Easy to operate: triple guarantee of remote start, electric start, and manual start, clear layout of control panel, LED data center displaying key information such as remaining operating time, power output, fuel level, etc.

Core functions and operation guide

1. Core functional features

(1) Dual fuel switching system

Switching logic: The control panel is equipped with a fuel selection switch (up gasoline, down propane), which supports switching during operation (propane cylinder needs to be connected in advance). During switching, the engine may briefly shake (draining residual fuel from the carburetor), which is a normal phenomenon.

Propane adaptation: Supports any standard propane cylinder (20 pounds, 30 pounds, etc.) with overcharge protection device (OPD), with sufficient hose length to keep the cylinder away from the generator (to avoid heat sources), and a leak free interface design (can be manually tightened without the need for a raw material belt).

Fuel consumption: In gasoline mode with light load (50% power), the fuel consumption is about 0.6 gallons per hour, and the full tank range is 18 hours; The fuel consumption in propane mode is about 0.5 pounds per hour, and the range of a 20 pound cylinder is about 40 hours.

Precautions for startup mode operation steps

Remote start 1. Turn on the generator battery switch

2. Press the "ON" button on the remote control (green)

3. After starting the engine, wait for 30 seconds for stable output. The remote control distance is up to 30 meters, and the battery model is 2-cell CR2016. The distance is shortened when the battery is low; Operate within the line of sight of the generator

Electric start 1. Confirm that the battery switch is turned on

2. Press the "START/STOP" start button on the control panel

3. If the battery fails to start after a 30 second interval and the battery voltage is insufficient, it needs to be charged with a matching charger for 8 hours (do not exceed 8 hours to avoid overcharging)
