sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis introduction This “Operational Analysis” is intended to familiarize the service technician with the operation of the DC control system on units with air-cooled engine. A thorough understanding of how the system works is essential to sound and logical troubleshooting.

sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • Utility source voltage is available to transfer switch Terminal Lugs N1/N2. With the transfer switch main contacts at their “Utility” side, this source voltage is available to Terminal Lugs T1/T2 and to the “Load” circuits. •...
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis initial dropout oF utility Source VoltaGe Refer to Figure 2, below. Should a “Utility” power source failure occur, circuit condition may be briefly described as follows: • The circuit board constantly senses for an acceptable “Utility” source voltage, via transfer switch fuses F1/F2, transfer switch UTILITY 1 and UTILITY 2 terminals, connected wiring, control panel UTILITY 1 and UTILITY 2 terminals, and Wires N1/N2.
Page 109
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • Should utility voltage drop below approximately 65 percent of the nominal source voltage, a programmable timer on the circuit board will turn on. • In Figure 2, the 10-second timer is still timing and engine cranking has not yet begun. •...
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis utility VoltaGe dropout and enGine crankinG • After ten (10) seconds and when the circuit board’s 10-second timer has timed out, if utility voltage is still below 65 percent of nominal, circuit board action will energize the circuit board’s crank and run relays simultaneously. •...
Page 111
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • Printed circuit board action delivers 12 volts DC to the fuel solenoids (FS1 & FS2), via Wire 14. The fuel solenoids energize open and fuel is available to the engine. Wire 14 supplies power to the choke solenoid (CS). Circuit board action grounds Wire 90, energizing the choke solenoid cyclically during cranking and continuously while running.
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis enGine Startup and runninG With the fuel solenoids open and ignition occurring, the engine starts. Engine startup and running may be briefly described as follows: • Voltage pulses from the ignition magnetos are delivered to the circuit board via Wire 18. Once the circuit board determines that the engine is running, the circuit board (a) terminates cranking, and (b) terminates the choke solenoid (CS), and (c) turns on an “engine warm-up timer”.
Page 113
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • The “engine warm-up timer” will run for about 5 seconds. When this timer finishes timing, board action will initiate transfer to the STANDBY power source. As shown in Figure 4 (below), the timer is still running and transfer has not yet occurred.
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis initial tranSFer to the “StandBy” Source The generator is running, the circuit board’s “engine warm-up timer” is timing, and generator AC output is avail- able to transfer switch terminal lugs E1 and E2 and to the open contacts on the transfer relay. Initial transfer to the STANDBY power supply may be briefly described as follows: •...
Page 115
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • When the circuit board’s “engine warm-up timer” times out, circuit board action completes the Wire 23 circuit to ground. The transfer relay then energizes and its normally open contacts close. • Standby power is now delivered to the standby closing coil (C2), via Wires E1/E2, the normally open transfer relay contacts, Wire 205, limit switch XB1, Wire B, and a bridge rectifier.
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis utility VoltaGe reStored / re-tranSFer to utility The “Load” is powered by the standby power supply. The circuit board continues to seek an acceptable utility source voltage. On restoration of utility source voltage, the following events will occur: •...
Page 117
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • The utility closing coil (C1) energizes and moves the main current carrying contacts to their NEUTRAL position. The main contacts move to an over center position past NEUTRAL and spring force closes them to their UTILITY side.
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis enGine ShutdoWn Following retransfer back to the utility source, an “engine cool-down timer” on the circuit board starts timing. When that timer has timed out (approximately one minute), circuit board action will de-energize the circuit board’s run relay.
Page 119
sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • Circuit board action will connect the engine’s ignition magnetos (IM1 & IM2) to ground, via Wire 18. Ignition will be terminated. • Without fuel flow and without ignition, the engine will shut down. Figure 7.
