Page 9: Troubleshooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING The AERO2GEN is design to give many years of reliable service as it contains really only two moving parts and one electronic component; they are the permanent magnet disc magnets, the slipring brush assembly and a rectifier. The only parts that can wear are: Main bearing ball races, pivot shaft ball races, and the carbon brushes which make contact with the sliprings. - Page 10 CHECKING A/C OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF STATOR Set the multimeter to read A/C volts, attach test leads to the two stator output wires then turn the main shaft of the generator by hand (any direction) small voltage should be indicated on the multimeter. Check the stator and suppression capacitor does not look burnt or overheated.
- Page 11 Remove rear cover and check the condition of the outer disc magnet, it may be rubbing on the stator. Inner main bearing could be worn, check for axial and radial movement. Check the tightness of the 7off M3 stator retaining screws, this can cause a noise if slightly loose.
- Page 12 INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING AND REPLACING MAIN BEARINGS AERO2GEN Parts required : Main bearings # BEARING 221 ( 6300DDUCM) 10mm Circlip # CIRCLIP 659 10mm Shim Washers # WASHER 665 Rear cover gasket # GASKET 548 Loctite Bearing Fit Tools required: Small press or hammer, Circlip pliers, Pozi drive screwdriver, Piece of hard wood, and a brass rod or similar. 1.
- Page 13 TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION - This additional feature is available on all LVM regulators. If the battery is located in a building where the ambient temperature is always around 20 deg.C then standard regulators can be used. However if you intend to locate a battery where temperatures may go down to freezing and perhaps rise to tropical temperatures then you should install a regulator that is fitted with a temperature compensation circuit.
