Installation and commissioning
Generator installation for iMAPLA 25and 30
5.6.1 Requirements on the installation position
iMAPLA Generators “One Unit” construction type
with attached switch box
y Do not assemble the “One Unit” type in the engine compartment.
iMAPLA Generators “External Unit” construction type
with aseparate switch box
y Do not expose the External Unit type to the radiation range of heat
sources (e.g.exhaust pipes). If no other installation site is available, the
generator must be isolated from radiant heat using suitable insulation- or
bulkhead plates.
y The ow of cooling air in the generator must not be deected or restricted
by the ow of air in the main fan of the engine.
y The generator switch box must be situated outside the engine
compartment.
y The iMAPLA generator is protected against spray water according to
IP54and may also be secured to the outside of the vehicle.
y The rotational direction of the generator is not important for its operation.
It can be operated in the clockwise- and anti-clockwise direction.
Install the generator safely and securely on a100 % level surface with
aload-bearing capacity adequate for the weight class of the generator.
Mount generators with abelt drive on rails or provide other means for
adjusting the belt tension.
Important
y Install the generator in away which makes accidental spraying
with high-pressure cleaners impossible.
y The installation site must be low-vibration.
y Choose an installation location through which it is ensured
that sucient ventilation is provided at all times, where, if
possible, the cooling air temperature does not exceed 40°C.
