2 Installation Installation NOTICE! Malfunctions due to literal use of example values All technical data and ratings indicated in this chapter are merely listed as examples. Literal use of these values does not take into account all actual specifications of the control unit as delivered.
2 Installation 2.1 Mount unit Mount unit The module must be fixed with 4 screws. The torque must be 1.1-1.3 Nm. Take care for sufficient air convection. For good heat dissipation we recommend landscape orientation. 200 [7.87"] 60 [2.36"] 175 [6.89"] 19 [0.75"] Fuse1 (X1,X2) Fuse2 (Z1,Z2)

Operation Protection Fig. 4: Terminals ”easYgen | exciter 10“ The 9 terminals are designed as flat plugs 6.35 mm (0.25"). Therefore the wiring must be done with 9 flat plug receptacles.
2 Installation 2.2.1 Wiring ”easYgen | exciter-10“ / ”easYgen“ Terminal label Function Notes terminal must be connected to terminal 20 of the easYgen. PWM+ PWM positive input If the easYgen is configured to use analog output 2 for AVR, this terminal must be connected to terminal 19 of the easYgen.
2 Installation 2.2.3 Shunt power supply 2.2.3 Shunt power supply If the build up voltage is below 20Vac, a reliable start up of the start voltage cannot be guaranteed. The figure below shows the wiring for ”Shunt“ power supply. Stator (12 - wire) Marked T1 to Z2 X1 Z1 X2 F+ F−...

3 Configuration Configuration General information Since the ”easYgen | exciter-10“ itself has no controller function, the configuration is done via the easYgen in which the controller function is integrated. The easYgen can be configured via the PC tool ToolKit or, depending on the model, via the HMI.

4 Operation 4.1 Current limitation (”IEXC.“) Operation Current limitation (”IEXC.“) The exciter is built-in with Current Limiting Adjustment potentiometer ”IEXC.“ (I Excitation). Basically, the Exciter-10 decreases the field current if the field current exceeds the limit adjusted by the ”IEXC“ potentiometer for more than 10 s. During commissioning the potentiometer must be adjusted due to the application.
4 Operation 4.3 Protection Under normal operation the green LED ”Operation“ is illuminated and the red LED ”Protection“ is turned off. • Current Limitation: • If current limitation is activated and exceeded 10 seconds, the green LED is turned off and red LED begins to flicker twice per second (2 Hz). •...
