Installation Considerations
•
NEVER USE AUTOMOTIVE TYPE FUSES! THEY CAN EXPLODE!!!
•
Avoid
installations where the XC4-R will be exposed to the elements or adverse weather
such as rain and snow.
•
Install
the XC4-R by mounting to a metal plate. The metal plate will minimize vibration and
allow extra heat dissipation for a long service life.
•
Mount
towards a corner of a metal plate. Corners of mounting plates vibrate less than the
center sections will. Less vibration leads to a longer service life.
•
Do not
install the XC4-R in a sealed control box. Free ventilation is required for a long
service life. Forced air is not required.
•
Perform
the initial setup using an Analog voltmeter. It can save your life in the event of a
fault or runaway condition at startup.
Initial Setup and Commissioning
1.
Install the regulator and wire according to the correct wiring diagram (240V or 120V).
2.
If installing the XC4-R on a brush-type generator, verify that the brushes and brush
riggings are isolated, ungrounded, and connected ONLY to the XC4-R.
3.
Turn the internal voltage control fully counter clockwise (left). This procedure is
necessary in case the original factory settings have been altered. Set external remote-
adjustment potentiometer (if used) to 50% of its range.
4.
Start up the prime mover and bring up to operating speed and turn on the regulator
switch (if used).
5.
Set the internal voltage adjustment to the desired voltage setting for the generator output
by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (right). Adjust external remote-adjustment
potentiometer (if used) to a suitable position for the voltage on your generator.
The internal voltage adjustment is a ONE-turn pot!
NOTE:
The maximum voltage setpoint is 250VAC! This helps prevent
accidental over-voltage conditions due to incorrect installation!
6.
Place the generator on line
and observe the frequency
and voltage regulation
during no-load and full-load
conditions. Once the
voltage is set and regulating
characteristics are
satisfactory the installation
procedure is complete.
