Installation Overview

Installing the BASLER AVC63-12B1 Automatic Voltage Regulator requires basic electrical knowledge and adherence to proper safety procedures. Before beginning any installation work, ensure the generator is completely shut down, disconnected from all loads, and the battery is disconnected to prevent accidental starts or electrical shock. Here's a general overview of the AVR installation process:

• Step 1: Remove the Failed AVR – Locate the existing voltage regulator, typically mounted inside the generator control panel or on the alternator housing. Carefully document all wire connections by taking photos or labeling each wire before disconnecting. Remove the mounting screws and disconnect all terminal connections including sensing inputs, excitation output leads, and any auxiliary connections.
• Step 2: Prepare and Mount the New AVC63-12B1 – Inspect the new BASLER AVR for any shipping damage. Verify that all connection points are clean and free from corrosion. Mount the AVC63-12B1 in the same location as the previous regulator using appropriate hardware, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit for heat dissipation and protection from moisture or debris.
• Step 3: Connect Wiring According to Diagram – Following the wiring diagram provided with the AVR (and your generator's technical manual), connect the sensing input leads to the appropriate generator output terminals, ensuring correct voltage tap points. Connect the excitation output leads to the alternator's excitation field windings, maintaining proper polarity. Secure all connections tightly and verify that no wires are pinched, frayed, or contacting sharp edges.
• Step 4: Test and Adjust – After verifying all connections, reconnect the battery and perform a controlled startup of the generator. Monitor the voltage output using a quality multimeter. The generator should build voltage normally and maintain stable output. Adjust the voltage set point using the potentiometer on the AVR to achieve the desired output voltage (typically 120/240 VAC or as specified). Test under varying loads to confirm proper regulation and verify that all protective functions are operating correctly.

Important: If you're not experienced with generator electrical systems, we strongly recommend having a qualified electrician or certified generator technician perform the installation. Improper installation can result in equipment damage, personal injury, or generator failure. For technical installation support, contact General Power at 1-888-769-3758.
