MOUNTING
This Aero2gen is fitted with an aluminium bronze mounting adaptor which is designed to clamp onto a tube diameter of
2
1” (25.4mm)
LVM Products manufactures several mounting kits in marine grade stainless steel details of which are shown below.
A minimum turning radius of 350mm should be allowed when selecting a position to mount the Aero2gen.
Great care should be taken to site the unit to avoid personal injury from the rotating blades.
When constructing a mounting system for the Aero2gen make sure it
can withstand the weight of the generator together with the additional
wind forces shown in the table opposite.
If the Aero2gen is to be mounted on a yacht/boat care should be taken
where to position it, as the Aero2gen will always produce a very slight
electrical vibration whilst charging. This noise will obviously be greatly
amplified if mounted on a very hollow section of a yacht/boat.
RADIO / RADAR / DECCA / SAT.NAV. INTERFERENCE
The Aero2gen should be mounted at least 1 Metre from any form of
aerial to avoid air born interference. The output cable from the
generator together with the dump regulator cables, if fitted, should be
routed at least 1 Metre from aerial cables. It is most important,
particularly on yacht installation, that the negative (-) return cable to
the battery is clean and fully tightened. The safety cable fitted around a yacht/boat is tensioned by a bottle screw or
turnbuckle and this cable has been known to cause interference.
