Installation and commissioning
Generator installation for iMAPLA 8, 13, 17 and 20
5.5.1
Requirements on the installation position
iMAPLA Generators “One Unit” construction type
with attached switch box
y
Do not assemble the “One Unit” type in the engine compartment.
iMAPLA Generators “External Unit” construction type
with a separate switch box
y
Do not expose the External Unit type to the radiation range of heat
sources (e.g. exhaust pipes). If no other installation site is available, the
generator must be partitioned using suitable insulation- or bulkhead
plates against the radiant heat.
y
The flow of cooling air in the generator must not be deflected or restricted
by the flow of air in the main fan of the engine.
y
In each case, the generator switch box must be outside of the engine
compartment.
y
The
i
MAPLA generator is protected against spray water according to
IP54 and may also be secured to the outside of the vehicle.
y
The rotational direction of the generator is not important for its operation.
It can be operated in the clockwise- and anti-clockwise direction.
Install the generator safely and securely on a 100 % level surface with
a load-bearing capacity adequate for the weight class of the generator.
Mount generators with a belt drive on rails or provide other means for
adjusting the belt tension.
Important
y
Install the generator in a way which makes accidental spraying
with high-pressure cleaners impossible.
y
The installation site must be low-vibration.
y
Choose an installation location through which it is ensured
that sufficient ventilation is provided at all times, where, if
possible, the cooling air temperature does not exceed 40 °C.
