Connecting the starter battery

A
NOTICE!
The starter battery must have 12 V and a capacity of at least
60 Ah.
➤ Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive battery terminal
connection using a cable with a cross-section of 10 mm² for a length of
< 6 m or 16 mm² for a length of > 6 m (for TEC29: fig. e 8, page 10, for
TEC29LPG: fig. f 5, page 10).
➤ Fit a 100 A fuse in the positive cable near the positive terminal of the
starter battery to protect the generator's electrical system.
➤ Connect the negative terminal of the battery using a cable with a suitable
cross-section (see above) as follows:
– to the earth connection on the generator (fig. g 1, page 11) or
– via the inserts at the side of the generator (fig. g 2, page 11)
➤ Connect the earth connection on the generator to the vehicle chassis.
Remove any paint or rust from the chassis if necessary to ensure good
contact.
➤ Protect the connections by applying lubrication.

Configuring the automatic mode

I
NOTE
 You can only use automatic mode:
– if the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off
 To shorten charging times, an additional charging unit with at
least 20 A can be installed between the generator and discon-
nector switch, especially if batteries with a capacity of more
than 60 Ah are used.
In automatic mode, the generator switches on automatically and charges the
battery if the voltage of the connected battery is too low.
The generator switches off automatically once the battery has been fully
charged.
The circuit diagram for the automatic mode can be found in fig. h, page 11.
➤ Connect the black wire to terminal 6 of the 6-pin plug on the extension
cable.
