  • Page 2 To gain maximum output, the generator should be sited so that there are as few obstacles as possible to the prevailing wind. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE MAST IS PERFECTLY UPRIGHT AND RIGID FOR THE AERO6GEN-F TO OPERATE AND TRACK THE WIND CORRECTLY AT ALL WIND SPEEDS.
  • Page 3 VARIOUS MAST DESIGNS ASSEMBLY FAN BLADE ASSEMBLY Assemble the fan using the M6 X 25 screws, M6 Nyloc Nuts, and M6 Washers. The best way to assemble the fan is to lay the Inner Fan Hub on a flat surface, blade sockets upwards and then insert the 6 blades concave side (hollow side) upwards.
  • Page 4: Electrical Data

    = 4AWG If the Aero6gen-F is connected directly to the battery terminals we recommend a 30 Amp fuse for 12V Models and a 15 Amp fuse for 24v Models is fitted in the red (positive) wire from the generator to the battery, so that if a dead short occurred it would prevent serious damage to the wiring and the generator.
  • Page 5 1. The Aero6gen-F output cables are stripped ready to insert into one end of a butt sealed splice. This type of connector is suitable for 2.5 sq. mm cables. Strip one end of your output cable 5 - 6 mm, observing polarity insert them into the other end of the butt sealed splices and using a crimping tool crimp them.
  • Page 6: Maintenance

    Carbon brushes Pt. No. BRUSHES 781 are available, complete with full instructions. If you experience a problem with your Aero6gen-F contact LVM Products to determine the nature of the problem, LVM Products will send you replacement parts and instructions needed to repair the generator. In the event that the generator is returned for repair/service you will be notified of the cost for carrying out the work and will incur the transport costs.
  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLE SHOOTING The AERO6GEN-F is designed to give many years of reliable service as it contains really only two moving parts and one electronic component; they are the permanent magnet rotor, 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 11 You will note that the rectifier has 5 terminals, 2 of which are marked + and - , the remaining 3 unmarked terminals are connected to the 3 output wires from the stator ( 3 phase a/c ~). Disconnect these 3 push fit connectors from the rectifier, then using a multimeter set on resistance measurement (ohms) check the resistance in turn of the of 3 output wires (in pairs) from the stator.
  • Page 12: Mechanical Noise

    ELECTRICAL VIBRATION NOISE As described on page one, it is normal for the Aero6gen-F to produce a very slight magnetic cogging vibration when rotating, and an electrical vibration whilst charging. This noise will be greatly amplified if the Aero6gen-F is mounted against a wall of a building.
  • Page 13 INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING AND REPLACING MAIN BEARINGS Parts required: 2 off - Main bearings LVM Part No. Bearing 586 1 off - Rear cover gasket LVM Part No. Gasket 548 2 off - Circlips 20mm LVM Part No. Circlip 276 6 off - Rear cover retaining screws LVM Part No.
