Assembly

The 5030 is packaged ready to operate requiring minor assembly. No special tools are required
beyond standard screwdrivers and wrenches. Four 1/4 inch bolts are required to fit through the
platform onto which the 5030 is to be mounted. The fuel connection is made to the male 1/4
MNPT fitting provided.
2.1.1 The 5030 can be mounted on any stand with four 5/16" holes spaced 203 mm (8.00 in.) wide
X 70 mm (2.75 inch) deep. The stand should be sturdy enough to keep the 20 kg (44.5 lb)
5030 stable in the environmental conditions that may be expected and allow a minimum of 15
cm (6 inch) clearance under the cooling fins. The stand requires four 1/4" bolts long enough
to fit through the mounting plates. Set the generator on the stand so that the holes line up and
insert and tighten the bolts.
2.1.2 Connect the fuel supply to the TEG fuel inlet (1/4 MNPT) using proper procedures and thread
sealant. Please note that all fuel installations should be done in accordance with local regula-
tions.
2.1.3 Check all gas connections for leaks with a commercial leak detector fluid such as Snoop.

Set Up

Before setting up the generator it must first be determined how much electrical power is
required. If less than full power is required then the generator can be set up for this lower power
level resulting in some savings in fuel consumption. To ensure reliable combustion the 5030
should not be set for less than 20 watts gross output . If the generator is producing more
electrical power than is being used then the excess power will be disposed of within the con-
verter limiter. To set up the generator a voltmeter capable of reading to at least two decimal
places will be required. A meter capable of reading to three decimal places is preferred.

Wiring

All electrical connections to the 5030 are made at a seven position terminal strip located inside
the converter limiter at the bottom of the circuit board as shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows the
wiring of the 5030. The 5030 is shipped with the power unit connected to the converter limiter
and electrical power is available at terminals 1 & 2. To disconnect the power unit from the
converter limiter, remove the cover and disconnect the TEG(-) lead from the common terminal
post. The TEG(+) lead is connected to the VIN+ terminal post. The open circuit voltage can
now be read from the negative and positive leads.
