Goods to be delivered under guarantee will be invoiced. Only
after the faulty goods are returned will the invoice be credited.
Payment in advance may be required or guaranteed by credit
card. If the faulty goods show that the failure was not covered
by guarantee, a credit will not be issued. For example, if a
Printed Circuit Board is returned with clear damage caused by
water, guarantee will be refused.
Freight costs to deliver spares by normal mail or carriers are
covered under guarantee. Special services like express mail,
overnight delivery, etc. are not covered. Taxes and duties are
not covered. For shipments to remote areas any additional
costs incurred over normal carriage will be invoiced to the
customer.
The cost for returning faulty goods is not covered by guarantee.
If any problem arises which could be subject of guarantee,
procedures should be followed as described in the guarantee
conditions, unauthorized repairs could lead to further damage
and violate the guarantee conditions.
Any work contrary to the guidelines, instructions
and the corresponding installation manual, may
damage the genverter and prevent it from
meeting its specifications. In all these cases the
guarantee may become invalid. Use original
spare parts only!

IDENTIFICATION

1.5.1

General

Before using this genverter it is very important to identify the
model correctly. To communicate for service or ordering parts it
is also essential to correctly identify the genverter. For the daily
operation of the genverter it is necessary that the operator
knows the correct specifications as well.
1.5.2

Identification plate

All required identification data are on the identification plate.
The identification plate also mentions some basic features of
the genverter.
SERIAL NUMBER: The identity of the genverter is given by the
serial number. Using this number, the manufacturer can trace
the specifications of the genverter.
M-GV/2, M-GV/3, M-GV/3+, M-GV 8, M-GV 10, M-GV 12 and M-GV 15
.
POWER: The identification plate gives the maximum load in kW,
i.e. kVA calculated with power factor one. When calculating a
load one should always take into account the power factor or
cos phi of this load. The resulting load should not exceed the
nominal power as shown on the identification plate. Power is
rated at an ambient temperature of 25°C. For higher
temperatures the genverter has to be de-rated.
Figure 1: Identification plate
VOLTAGE: The Permanent Magnet Alternator (PMA) generates
a variable voltage between 250V and 400V. Depending on the
type of installation, this is converted by a DC PowerCube or an
AC Power Module for Genverter
FREQUENCY: The Permanent Magnet Alternator output
frequency is considerably higher than in in common alternating
current installation. The DC PowerCube and WP-PMG (Power
Module for Genverter), however, are designed to generate very
stable DC and AC outputs from the PMA output.
CURRENT: The maximum allowed current at the specified
voltage and power factor.
PHASE: The number of live wires running from the genverter.
WEIGHT: The net dry weight (approximately) in kg. This is
without fuel, oil, cooling liquid, packaging and external
installation equipment.
CE-MARKING:
according to European Community safety regulations. This
includes the regulations regarding safety of pleasure craft,
electric safety and electric magnetic compatibility (EMC) and
other relevant directives. Under the Machinery Directive, the
genverter is an incomplete machine and can only comply after
installation; refer to the Declaration included in this manual.
Safety is also a matter of installation, utilization and operating
conditions. See also 2.1.
It is recommended to consult the manufacturer before
changing a factory setting. If the genverter involved is not new,
former users may have changed the settings. Check the settings
when there is any doubt.
