2 QUICK START PROCEDURE
This section describes the key steps for setting up the TEG. It is for the operator who is
already familiar with operating TEGs - having successfully completed Gentherm Global Power
Technologies (GPT) TEG training course - and being a qualified service person with reasonable
knowledge and experience working with industrial fuel and electrical equipment.
Follow these steps to install the TEG:
Unpack the TEG from its shipping crate. Keep the crate until the TEG is operational.
Locate and identify the following items that were shipped with the 5220 TEG:
• 1 Fin Duct
• 1 Cover Plate
• 1 Manual Shutoff Valve
• 1 Wind Scoop (leg assembly or pole mount)
• 1 Thread Sealing Compound
• 17 Screws, #8 32 × 1/4 in. long, one spare
• 17 Washers, #8 External Lock, one spare
NOTE:
Inspect the TEG for damage that may have occurred during shipping. Please report
any damage to Gentherm GPT as soon as possible, as it may make the generator
inoperable. Check with the factory before starting a damaged TEG.
Assemble the TEG as shown in Figure 10, and mount it on a firm and stable base,
sufficiently high above ground level to prevent the TEG from being inundated with
water. See Installation (Section 5), for details.
Connect the fuel supply to the manual shutoff valve (TEG fitting is 1/4” Female NPT)
using the thread sealant provided. See Supplying Fuel (Section 5.6) for details
Connect the customer load:
• In the case of a 24V L/C being fitted, connect the load to terminals 6 (+) and 7
(–).
• In the case of a 12V Limiter being fitted, connect the load to terminals 4 (–) and
5 (+).
• For CP applications, connect the cathode and anode wires to the external CP
interface box and ensure the SPD fuel line isolation adaptor is installed.
• Leave the TEG isolated from the load, batteries, or other voltage sources by way
of a suitably sized circuit breaker or fuse. The TEG must be wired in such a
way that it can be disconnected from the load, batteries, and voltage
sources including other TEGs, generators, and solar panels.
