dations or symbols to alert the user to
potential risks of accidents. It is vital that you
understand and take notice of the following
warning symbols.
Warning symbol for an operation capable
of damaging or destroying the machine
or surrounding equipment.

Disposal and recycling instructions
WARNING
The R220 AVR cannot be used in dedicated single-phase 60 Hz.
The R220 is an IP00 product. It must be installed inside a unit so that this unit’s cover can
provide IP20 minimum total protection (it must only be installed on our alternators in the
appropriate location so that when viewed externally, it has a higher degree of protection than
IP20).

1 - SUPPLY
1.1 - SHUNT excitation system
The alternator with Shunt excitation is self-
excited with an R220 voltage regulator.
The regulator monitors the exciter excitation
current as a function of the alternator output
voltage. Very simple in design, the alternator
with shunt excitation has no sustaining
short-circuit capacity.
2 - R220 A.V.R.
2.1 - Characteristics
- Storage : -55°C ; +85°C
- Operation : -40°C ; +65°C
- Voltage regulation: ± 0.5%.
- Voltage supply/sensing range 85 to 139 V
(50/60 Hz)
- Rapid response time (500 ms) for a
transient voltage variation amplitude of ± 20%
- Voltage setting P1
- Stability setting P2.
- Power supply protected by 8 A fuse, slow-
blow action (tolerates 10 A for 10 s)
The fuse is impregnated in the resin,
therefore it can not be replaced.
- Frequency: 50 Hz with ST3 jumper - 60 Hz
without ST3 jumper.
- The size of the screwdriver tip used to
adjust the potentiometer is 2.5 mm.
2.2 - R220 AVR option
Potentiometer for remote voltage
adjustment, 1000 Ω/ 0.5 W min: adjustment
range ± 5%.
- Remove the ST4 jumper.
For wiring up the external potentiometer;
the “earth” wires must be isolated as
well as the potentiometer terminals
(wires at the same voltage as the power).

COMMISSIONING
3.1 - Electrical checks on the AVR
- Check that all connections have been
made properly as shown in the attached
wiring diagram.
- Check that the ST3 frequency selection
jumper is on the correct frequency setting.
- Check whether the ST4 jumper or the
remote adjustment potentiometer have
been connected.
3.2 - Settings
The machine is tested and set at the
factory. When rst used with no load,
make sure that the drive speed is correct
and stable (see the nameplate). After
operational testing, replace all access
panels or covers.
The only possible adjustments to the
machine should be made on the AVR.
3.2.1 - R220 setting (shunt system)
Initial potentiometer settings
- P1 potentiometer (AVR voltage
adjustment): fully anti-clockwise.
- Remote voltage adjustment potentiometer:
centre position.
Run the alternator at its rated speed. If the
voltage does not increase, the magnetic
circuit should be remagnetized (see section
3.3).
- Turn the AVR voltage adjustment
potentiometer P1 slowly until the output
voltage rated value is obtained.
- Adjust the stability setting using P2.
Clockwise: increase the rapidity.
Anti-clockwise: decrease the rapidity.
3.2.2 - Special type of use
Excitation circuit E+, E- must not be left
open when the machine is running : AVR
damage will occur.
3.2.2.1 - R220 eld weakening (SHUNT)
The exciter is switched off by disconnecting
the AVR power supply (1 wire - 0 or 110V).
Contact rating : 16A - 250V alt.
The power supply contactor must only be
closed when the alternator is not being
driven
3.2.2.2 - R220 eld forcing
Battery must be isolated from the earth.
Exciter eld may be at line potential.

Disposal and recycling instructions
We are committed to limit the environmental
impact of our activity. We continuously
survey our production processes, material
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.
The oil and grease from the lubrication
systemshouldbeconsideredasahazardous
waste and has to be handled according to
local legislation.
