GENERATORS
6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
6.1
Battery connection
To start off the unit an independent battery of 12V is
needed, capacity 80 Ah.
It should be connected to the terminal of the generator
(fig.14, rif.4) with cables of section 25 mm
of 5 metres and with cables of section 35 mm
distances, and following the sequence of operations
described below:
- First connect the positive pole (+) of the battery to the
terminal marked with the symbol (+) on the generator.
- Then connect the negative pole (-) of the battery to the
terminal marked with the symbol (-) on the generator.
- Wipe the connections with special mineral grease to
protect against oxidation and corrosion.
The generator includes an electronic device to auto-
matically recharge the start-up battery, giving
15 A, at a voltage of 12 V, when fully charged.
Install the battery in a well-
ventilated area, away from the generator and from
any device which might produce heat or sparks.
Periodically check the state of the connections of the
terminals and the water level of the battery. If the
cables need to be disconnected, follow the instruc-
tions for connection in reverse order.
Do not invert the poles of the connecting cables since
serious damage might be caused to the generator and
the battery.
Do not connect other loads to the battery.
In order to reduce galvanic currents to a minimum, the
(-) of the battery of the electric generator should not be
connected to the (-) of the other batteries on board.
6.2
Control panel connection
There are two remote control panels available, installable
on the bridge, which can be connected to the generator for
starting and stopping.
Both models are supplied with a 20 m electric connection
cable with a connector fitted at the end.
Fit the connector of the connection cable to the special
coupling located at the lower part of the instrument panel
casing inside the generator (Fig.15 Ref.2) and the oppo-
site part to the remote control panel.
6.3
AC connection
This connection is made through the insulators located on
the alternator of the generator (Fig.15,Ref.3). These insu-
lators are accessed after having removed the closing
panel .
- Ensure that the sum of the loads to be fed does not
exceed the rated output of the generator.
- The generator is equipped with a magnetothermal
switch which cuts the power in the event of an overload
or short-circuit.

6.4.
A switch should be placed on the line to switch the user
appliances from the generator to an external power line.
The switch should be dimensioned according to the size
of the loads: a general diagram is shown in fig.16.
For handling and lifting of the generator only use the lifting
hook located on the engine.
Hooking the generator at points different from that
indicated may cause damage to the generator or be
dangerous to the operators.
