2.6.10 At this point it may be necessary to adjust the air shutter for optimum combustion. The burner
should be stable, with the V
oc
voltage reading very constant. Loosen the locking nut and turn
the air adjusting screw 1/2 turn clockwise. This will increase the amount of air in the air/fuel
mixture. Allow the generator to stabilize for about 15 minutes. If the voltage increased during
this time proceed to section 2.6.12. If the voltage decreased during this time this indicates an
air rich condition, and the air shutter should be returned to the original position until the voltage
begins to rise again. Now turn the air adjusting screw 1/2 turn counterclockwise. Allow the
generator to stabilize for about 15 minutes. If the voltage increased during this time proceed to
section 2.6.12.
NOTE:
If the voltage meter used is only capable of reading 2 decimal places then it may
take a few minutes to see a change in voltage.
If both actions resulted in a drop in voltage then the original position was already close to opti
-
mum and the air adjusting screw should be tightened in that position and proceed to section
2.6.13.
2.6.11 After the voltage has stabilized, continue to open or close the air shutter (depending on which
direction caused a rise in voltage) until the point resulting in maximum voltage is found. The
generator should be allowed to stabilize for 15 minutes between each adjustment.
2.6.12 After the air shutter is adjusted, then adjust the fuel up or down until rated V
oc
is achieved. The
fuel should be adjusted in 1.4 kpa (0.2 psi) increments allowing the generator to stabilize for 15
minutes between adjustments. After the regulator is adjusted re-tighten the lock nut.
2.6.13 Once V
oc
is obtained then:
Reconnect the TEG(-) lead to the terminal post.
Connect the voltmeter to the output terminals 1 & 2 marked customer load. See Figure 2. This
voltage should read 10 to 18 volts for the 12 volt option or 22 to 30 volts for the 24 volt option.
The converter limiter has been factory set at 14.1 volts or 27.0 volts respectively but can be
adjusted as described in the 30 WATT CONVERTER LIMITER manual.
2.6.14 The 5030 is now ready to be connected to the load. Connect the load across terminals 1 & 2.
Once the load is connected and the TEG is started and allowed to warm up, use a voltmeter
to measure the voltage between Volt+ and Volt - on the Meter TB (terminal block). Record this
result. Now measure the voltage between Amp+ and Amp- on the Meter TB and record this
result. The power being delivered to the load can be calculated as follows:
Power = Volt reading * Amp reading (in volts) divided by 0.01
ie Power = 14.2 * 0.015 divided by 0.01 = 21.3W
