to time. Space heaters are only really
effective if they are working continuously
while the machine is stopped.
WARNING
Ensure that the alternator has the degree
of protection matching the defined
environmental conditions.
• Mechanical checks
Before starting the machine for the first time,
check that:
- all fixing bolts are tight,
- the length of bolt and the tightening torque
are correct,
- the cooling air is drawn in freely,
- the protective grills and housing are cor-
rectly in place,
- the standard direction of rotation is clock-
wise as seen from the drive end (phase
rotation in order 1 - 2 - 3).
For anti-clockwise rotation, swap 2 and 3.
- the winding connection corresponds to the
site operating voltage (see section 3.3).
3.3 - Terminal connection diagrams

To modify the connection, change the
position of the stator cables on the terminals.
The winding code is specified on the
nameplate.

sourcing and products design to improve
recyclability and diminish our footprint.
These instructions are for information
purposes only. It is the user responsibility to
comply with local legislation regarding
product disposal and recycling.
Recyclable materials
Our alternators are mainly built out of iron,
steel and copper materials, which can be
reclaimed for recycling purposes.
These materials can be reclaimed through a
combination of manual dismantling,
mechanical separation and melting
processes. Our technical support depar-
tment can provide detailed directions on
products dismounting upon request.
Waste & hazardous materials

The following components and materials
need a special treatment and need to be
separated from the alternator before the
recycling process:
- electronic materials found in the terminal
box, including the Automatic Voltage
Regulator (198), Current Transformers
(176), interference suppression module
(199) and other semi-conductors.
- diode Bridge (343) and Surge suppressor
(347), found on the alternator rotor.
- major plastic components, such as the
terminal box structure on some products.
These components are usually marked with
plastic type information.
All materials listed above need special
treatment to separate waste from
reclaimable material and should be handed
to specialized disposal companies.
