Mechanical Assembly Procedure
1)
Unpacking -
Inspect the contents of the box and ensure that all items are present and free
from damage. If any of the components are missing or damaged, please contact your
dealer immediately.
2)
Check Magnet Rotor & Continuity -
Ensure that the main shaft is free turning and does not
scrape or rub as it rotates - see Fig-4. You may feel a slight resistance from the bearings at
this stage. The bearing units used in the magnet rotor assembly are factory lubricated and
sealed for life. It will take approximately 100 hours of normal operation for the bearing
seals to ‘bed
-
in’ and the lubric
ation to be distributed correctly around the raceways and
ball cages. During this period you may notice a reduced performance caused by the
additional friction of the bearing seals. In operating temperatures of
–
10 degrees
Centigrade or lower, this ‘beddin
g-
in’ period will be extended by a further 50 hours of
normal operation. Connect a digital multi-meter to any two of the three output leads
extending from the yaw pivot. With the multi-meter set to detect AC Volts (0-20V), a
voltage should be displayed when the magnet rotor is spun. This voltage will vary with the
speed of rotation. If the magnet rotor rubs, or no voltage is detected whilst turning the
magnet rotor, please contact your dealer immediately.
Warning: The magnet rotor within your
LE-600 Turbine
is constructed using neodymium iron
boron rare earth magnets which are semi-exposed until the turbine is fully assembled. These are
extremely powerful magnets and can cause injury if not handled with respect. Take care when
working with tools made of ferrous materials (such as spanners and screwdrivers) close to LE-600
alternator. The magnetic forces between ferrous materials and the magnet rotor within the
alternator may be very strong. This may cause a sudden snapping action that can pinch or trap
your fingers or skin.
