Introduction

The Woodward PSG (Pressure compensated Simple Governor) can operate as an isochronous or a speed droop type governor. It uses engine lubrication oil, increased to a pressure of 175 psi (1200 kPa) by a gear type pump inside the governor, to give hydra/mechanical speed control.

Pilot Valve Operation

The fuel injection pump camshaft drives a governor drive unit. This unit turns pilot valve bushing (13) clockwise as seen from the drive unit end of the governor. The pilot valve bushing is connected to a spring driven ballhead. Flyweights (7) are fastened to the ballhead by pivot pins. The centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the pilot valve bushing causes the flyweights to pivot out. This action of the flyweights changes the centrifugal force to axial force against speeder spring (5). There is a thrust bearing (9) between the toes of the flyweights and the seat for the speeder spring. Pilot valve (12) is fastened to the seat for the speeder spring. Movement of the pilot valve is controlled by the action of the flyweights against the force of the speeder spring.

The engine is at the governed (desired) rpm when the axial force of the flyweights is the same as the force of compression in the speeder spring. The flyweights will be in the position shown. Control ports (14) will be closed by the pilot valve.

Fuel Increase

When the force of compression in the speeder spring increases (operator increases desired rpm) or the axial force of the flyweights decreases (load on the engine increases) the pilot valve will move in the direction of the drive unit. This opens control ports (14). Pressure oil flows through a passage in the base to chamber (B). The increased pressure in chamber (B) causes power piston (6) to move. The power piston pushes strut assembly (4), that is connected to output shaft lever (3). The action of the output shaft lever causes clockwise rotation of output shaft (2). This moves fuel control linkage (15) in the FUEL ON direction.


PSG GOVERNOR INSTALLED
2. Output shaft. 15. Fuel control linkage.

As the power piston moves in the direction of return spring (1) the volume of chamber (A) increases. The pressure in chamber (A) decreases. This pulls the oil from the chamber inside the power piston, above buffer piston (11) into chamber (A). As the oil moves out from above buffer piston (11) to fill chamber (A) the buffer piston moves up in the bore of the power piston. Chambers (A and B) are connected respectively to the chambers above and below the pilot valve compensating land (10). The pressure difference felt by the pilot valve compensating land adds to the axial force of the flyweights to move the pilot valve up and close the control ports. When the flow of pressure oil to chamber (B) stops so does the movement of the fuel control linkage.

Fuel Decrease

When the force of compression in the speeder spring decreases (operator decreases desired rpm) or the axial force of the flyweights increases (load on the engine decreases) the pilot valve will move in the direction of speeder spring (5). This opens control ports (14). Oil from chamber (B) and pressure oil from the pump will dump through the end of the pilot valve bushing. The decreased pressure in chamber (B) will let the power piston move in the direction of the drive unit. Return spring (1) pushes against strut assembly (4). This moves output shaft lever (3). The action of the output shaft lever causes counterclockwise rotation of output shaft (2). This moves fuel control linkage (15) in the FUEL OFF direction.

As power piston (6) moves in the direction of the drive unit the volume of chamber (A) decreases. This pushes the oil in chamber (A) into the chamber above buffer piston (11). As the oil from chamber (A) flows into the power piston it moves the buffer piston down in the bore of the power piston. The pressure at chamber (A) is more than the pressure at chamber (B). Chambers (A and B) are connected respectively to chambers above and below the pilot valve compensating land (10). The pressure difference felt by the pilot valve compensating land adds to the force of the speeder spring to move the pilot valve down and close the control ports. When the flow of oil from chamber (B) stops so does the movement of the fuel control linkage.

Hunting

There is a moment between the time the fuel control linkage stops its movement and the time the engine actually stops its increases or decrease of rpm. During this moment there is a change in two forces on the pilot valve, the pressure difference at the pilot valve compensating land and the axial force of the flyweights.

The axial force of the flyweights changes until the engine stops its increase or decrease of rpm. The pressure difference at the pilot valve compensating land changes until the buffer piston returns to its original position. A needle valve (8) in a passage between space (A) and (B) controls the rate at which the pressure difference changes. The pressure difference makes compensation for the axial force of the flyweights until the engine stops it increase or decrease of rpm. If the force on the pilot valve compensating land plus the axial force of the flyweights is not equal to the force of the speeder spring the pilot valve will move. This movement is known as hunting (movement of the pilot valve that is not the result of a change in load or desired rpm of the engine).

The governor will hunt each time the engine actually stops its increase or decrease of rpm at any other rpm than that desired. The governor will hunt more after a rapid or large change of load or desired rpm than after a gradual or small change.

NOTE: The Woodward PSG Governor is removed from the engine to show the needle valve (8). When the governor is installed on the engine, the needle valve (8) is between the governor and the cylinder block.

Speed Adjustment

The earliest PSG governors use a screw (1). When the screw is turned clockwise it pushes the link assembly (2) down. This causes an increase in the force of speeder spring (3) and pilot valve (4) will move down. See PILOT VALVE OPERATION. The engine will increase speed until it gets to the desired rpm. When the screw is turned counterclockwise the link assembly moves up. This causes a decrease in the force of the speeder spring and the pilot valve will move up. The engine will decrease speed until it gets to the desired rpm.

Later PSG governors use a clutch assembly (6) driven by a 110V AC/DC or 24V DC reversible synchronizing motor (5) to move link assembly (7) up or down. The clutch assembly protects the motor if the adjustment is run against the stops. The motor is controlled by a switch that is remotely mounted. The clutch assembly can be turned manually if necessary.

Speed Droop


EARLIER PSG GOVERNOR
1. Bracket. 2. Pivot pin. 3. Output shafts.

Speed droop is the difference between no load rpm and full load rpm. This difference in rpm divided by the full load rpm and multiplied by 100 is the percent of speed droop.

The speed droop of the PSG governor can be adjusted. The governor is isochronous when it is adjusted so that the no load and full load rpm is the same. Speed droop permits load division between two or more engines that drive generators connected in parallel or generators connected to a single shaft.

Speed droop adjustment on PSG governors is made by movement of pivot pin (2). When the pivot pin is put in alignment with the output shafts, movement of the output shaft lever will not change the force of the speeder spring. When the force of the speeder spring is kept constant the desired rpm will be kept constant. See PILOT VALVE OPERATION. When the pivot pin is moved out of alignment with the output shafts, movement of the output shaft lever will change the force of the speeder spring proportional to the load on the engine. When the force of the speeder spring is changed the desired rpm of the engine will change.

On earlier PSG governors the cover must be removed to adjust the speed droop. Later models have an adjustment lever outside the governor connected to pivot pin (2) by link (4).

If the oil pressure is too low or the water temperature is too high this system will activate alarm (5) and signal lights (6).


NOTICE

When the alarm and signal lights activate stop the engine immediately. This will help prevent damage to the engine from heat or not enough lubrication. Find and correct the problem that caused the alarm and signal lights to activate.


Before the engine is started it will be necessary to override the oil pressure switch (1) or the alarm will activate. This is done by either a manual override button on the oil pressure switch or toggle switch (4). Oil pressure will return the manual override button to the run position. The toggle switch must be manually closed when the engine has oil pressure.

Before the engine can be started, lever (12) is used to turn spring loaded lever (13) away from the shutoff position. With lever (13) in this position the engine can be started.

When the engine starts, pressure oil flows through cover (7) moving plunger (9) into position to hold lever (13). As long as the engine has enough oil pressure the fuel control shaft can be controlled by the governor.

If the oil pressure gets too low, spring (10) moves plunger (9) away from lever (13). Lever (13) returns to the shutoff position and causes the engine to stop.

NOTE: With lever (13) held in the normal operating position as shown, lever (14) is used to shutdown the engine if necessary. This can be done manually or with a shutoff solenoid if so equipped.


NOTICE

Water temperature shutoff (5) is a control valve for the oil pressure shutoff.

When the water temperature becomes too high thermostat assembly (17) causes stem (16) to move ball (18) off of its seat. Pressure oil at inlet port (15) will go through the valve and drain into the engine crankcase. This will cause the oil pressure to decrease. The oil pressure shutoff will activate and stop the engine.

Shutoff And Alarm System Components

Oil Pressure Switch

Micro Switch Type

The oil pressure switch is used to give protection to the engine from damage because of low oil pressure. When oil pressure lowers to the pressure specifications of the switch, the switch closes and activates the fuel shutoff solenoid.

On automatic start/stop installations, this switch closes to remove the starting system from the circuit when the engine is running with normal oil pressure.

The switch for oil pressure can be connected in a warning system for indication of low oil pressure with a light or horn.

As pressure of the oil in bellows (6) becomes higher, arm (4) is moved against the force of spring (3). When projection (10) of arm (4) makes contact with arm (9), pressure in the bellows moves both arms. This also moves button (8) of the micro switch to activate the micro switch.

1. Locknut. 2. Adjustment screw. 3. Spring. 4. Arm. 5. Spring. 6. Bellows. 7. Latch plate. 8. Button for micro switch. 9. Arm. 10. Projection of arm.

Some of these switches have a "Set For Start" button. When the button is pushed in, the micro switch is in the START position. This is done because latch plate (7) holds arm (9) against button (8) of the micro switch and the switch operates as if the oil pressure was normal. When the engine is started, pressure oil flows into bellows (6). The bellows move arm (4) into contact with latch plate (7). The latch plate releases the "Set For Start" button and spring (5) moves it to the RUN position. This puts the switch in a ready to operate condition.

Earlier Type Switch

Early type switches for oil pressure have a control knob (1). The knob must be turned (reset) every time the engine is stopped. Turn the knob counterclockwise to the OFF position before the engine is started. The knob will move to the RUN position when the oil pressure is normal.


OIL PRESSURE SWITCH (Earlier Type)

Pressure Switch With Time Delay


PRESSURE SWITCH WITH TIME DELAY
1. Damper. 2. Pressure switch. 3. Valve.

The pressure switch with time delay has three main parts. The damper (1) is a reservoir for air and oil. The pressure switch (2) is a switch which activates from engine oil pressure. The valve (3) is a check valve with an orifice.

When the engine starts running the oil pressure in the engine increases. The oil goes through the valve (3) easily because the ball is off its seat from flow in that direction. There is air in the damper (1). The oil through the valve (3) goes into the damper (1). The oil puts compression on the air in the damper (1) until the pressure in the damper (1) is equal to engine oil pressure. This action takes a very short time. As the pressure in the damper (1) increases, the pressure switch (2) has the same pressure. At the correct pressure, the pressure (2) switch closes.

When the oil pressure in the engine decreases, there is a different set of conditions. The oil pressure in the engine is lower than the pressure in the damper (1). The high pressure in the damper (1) pushes oil out of the damper (1). The ball is on its seat. The pressure holds it there. Now the oil can only get out through the orifice. The orifice is a very small hole which is drilled through the body of the valve (3). It connects the oil in the damper (1) with the oil in the engine. The orifice is a restriction to the flow of oil out of the damper (1). The pressure in damper (1) takes a longer time to decrease than the oil pressure in the engine. This difference is the delay. When the engine is stopped under normal conditions, the delay is a minimum of approximately 4 seconds after the engine stops turning.


PRESSURE SWITCH WITH TIME DELAY INSTALLED
1. Damper. 2. Pressure switch. 3. Valve.

NOTE: Damper (1) must be installed vertically as shown to work correctly.

Pressure Switch

These type pressure switches are used for several purposes and are available with different specifications. They are used in the oil system and in the fuel system. One use of the switch is to open the circuit between the battery and the fuel shutoff solenoid after the oil pressure is below the pressure specifications of the switch. It also closes when the engine starts.


PRESSURE SWITCH

Another use of the switch is to close and activate the battery charging circuit when the pressure is above the pressure specification of the switch. It also disconnects the circuit when the engine is stopped.

Some switches of this type have three terminal connections. They are used to do two operations with one switch. They open one circuit and close another with the single switch.

Water Temperature Contactor Switch

The contactor switch for water temperature is installed in the water manifold. No adjustment to the temperature range of the contactor can be made. The element feels the temperature of the coolant and then operates the micro switch in the contactor when the coolant temperature is too high, the element must be in contact with the coolant to operate correctly. If the cause for the engine being too hot is because of low coolant level or no coolant, the contactor switch will not operate.

The contactor switch is connected to the fuel shutoff solenoid to stop the engine. The switch can also be connected to an alarm system. When the temperature of the coolant lowers to the operating range, the contactor switch opens automatically.


WATER TEMPERATURE CONTACTOR SWITCH

Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker gives protection to an electrical circuit. Circuit breakers are rated as to how much current they will permit to flow. If the current in a circuit gets too high it will cause heat in disc (3). Heat will cause distortion of the disc and contacts (2) will open. No current will flow in the circuit.


NOTICE

Find and correct the problem that caused the circuit breaker to open. This will help prevent damage to the circuit components from too much current.


An open circuit breaker will close (reset) automatically when it becomes cooler.

Shutoff Solenoid

A shutoff solenoid changes electrical input into mechanical output. It is used to move the fuel control shaft to a no fuel position. This stops the engine.

The shutoff solenoid can be activated by any one of many sources. The most usual are: water temperature contactor, oil pressure switch, overspeed switch (electronic or mechanical) and remote manual control switch.


ACTIVATE TO SHUTOFF SOLENOID

When activated, the activate to shutoff solenoid moves the fuel control shaft to the fuel off position.

When shut off, the activate to run shutoff solenoid moves the fuel control shaft to the fuel off position.

Mechanical Overspeed Switch

The overspeed switch is installed on the tachometer drive shaft on the fuel injection pump. The switch activates when the engine speed is equal to the overspeed setting. When the overspeed switch has activated, the contacts do not automatically return to their normal positions. The reset button (1) must be pushed by the operator to make the switch contacts return to their normal positions. The usual setting for the overspeed switch is 18% higher than the rated speed of the engine.


MECHANICAL OVERSPEED SWITCH
1. Button.

Some overspeed switches also have underspeed contacts. These contacts close at approximately 600 rpm as the engine speed increases. The underspeed setting is not adjustable.

Electronic Speed Switch

The electronic speed switch (dual speed switch) activates the shutoff solenoid when the engine speed gets approximately 18% higher than the rated full load speed of the engine. It also causes the starter motor pinion to move away from the flywheel.

NOTE: Some earlier electronic speed switches do not have the crank disconnect.

The electronic speed switch makes a comparison between the output frequency of magnetic pickup (2) and the setting of the electronic speed switch. When they are equal, the normally open contacts in the electronic speed switch close. On earlier models handle (1) moves to the overspeed position. On later models lamp (4) will go on. The switch also has a fail safe circuit that will cause the engine to shutdown if there is an open in the magnetic pickup circuit.

When the engine is stopped by the earlier electronic speed switch it will be necessary to move handle (1) to the run position before the engine can be started. On later model switches push reset button (3).

Power take-off clutches (PTO's) are used to send power from the engine to accessory components. For example, a PTO can be used to drive an air compressor or a water pump.

The PTO is driven by a ring (1) that has spline teeth around the inside diameter. The ring can be connected to the front or rear of the engine crankshaft by an adapter.

NOTE: On some PTO's located at the rear of the engine, ring (1) is a part of the flywheel.

The spline teeth on the ring engage with the spline teeth on the outside diameter of driven discs (2). When lever (4) is moved to the ENGAGED position, yoke assembly (8) moves collar assembly (6) in the direction of the engine. The collar assembly is connected to four link assemblies (3). The action of the link assemblies will hold the faces of driven discs (2), drive plates (10) and hub (9) tight together. Friction between these faces permits the flow of torque from ring (1), through driven discs (2), to plates (10) and hub (9). Spline teeth on the inside diameter of the plates drive the hub. The hub is held in position on the output shaft (11) by a taper, nut (7) and key (5).

NOTE: A PTO can have from one to three driven discs (2) with a respective number of plates.

When lever (4) is moved to the NOT ENGAGED position, yoke assembly (8) moves collar assembly (6) to the left. The movement of the collar assembly will release link assemblies (3). With the link assemblies released there will not be enough friction between the faces of the clutch assembly to permit a flow of torque.

An automatic start/stop system is used when a standby electric set has to give power to a system if the normal (commercial) power supply has a failure. There are three main sections in the system. They are: the automatic transfer switch, the cranking panel and the electric set.

Automatic Transfer Switch

The automatic transfer switch normally connects the 3-phase normal (commercial) power supply to the load. When the commercial power supply has a failure the switch will transfer the load to the standby electric set. The transfer switch will not transfer the load from commercial to emergency power until the emergency power gets to the rated voltage and frequency. The reason for this is the solenoid that causes the transfer of power operates on the voltage from the standby electric set. When the normal power returns to the rated voltage and frequency and the time delay (if so equipped) is over, the transfer switch will return the load to the normal power supply.


AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

Cranking Panel

The main function of the cranking panel is to control the start and shutoff of the electric set.


BASIC CRANKING PANEL
1. Indicator light. 2. Manual-Automatic switch. 3. ON-OFF-STOP switch.

LOCKOUT indicator light (1) will activate if, the engine does not start, or if a protection device gives the signal to shutoff during operation.

Switch (2) gives either AUTOMATIC or MANUAL starting. In the diagrams shown later this switch is called SW1. Switch (3) has three positions "ON", "OFF" and "STOP". This switch is called SW2 in the diagrams. Move SW2 (3) to ON and SW1 (2) to MAN to start the engine immediately. Move SW2 (3) to OFF on an electric set in operation to start the shutoff sequence. If the system is equipped with a time delay the engine will not stop immediately. When SW2 (3) is moved to the STOP position the engine stops immediately. The switch must be held in the STOP position until the engine stops. When the switch is released a spring returns it to the OFF position. With SW2 (3) in the ON position and SW1 (2) in the AUTO position the control is ready for standby operation.

There are several attachments that can be ordered for this panel. A description of how each one works and the effect it has on the operation of the standard system is given after the explanations of the standard system.

Electric Set

The components of the electric set are: the engine, the generator, the starting motor, the battery, the shutoff solenoid and signal switches on the engine. The electric set gives emergency power to drive the load.

An explanation of each of the signal components is given in separate topics.

Automatic Starting Operations

When emergency power is needed, the initiating contactor closes. This energizes the initiating relay and the run relay. The current flow through the initiating relay contacts then energizes the magnetic switch, which energizes the pinion solenoid. The starting motor is now connected to the battery. The starting operation starts. At the same time the overcrank timer is energized and starts to run.

At 600 rpm the cranking terminate relay closes. Oil pressure causes oil pressure shutdown switch (OPS) to activate. The normally closed contacts open and the normally open contacts close. When oil pressure shutdown switch (OPS) activates, the auxiliary relay is energized and current flow to the magnetic switch and pinion solenoid is stopped. The starting operation then stops.

If the engine does not start in 30 seconds, the overcrank timer contact closes. This energizes the shutdown relay and the alarm light. The shutdown relay stops current flow to the initiating relay and the run relay. De-energizing the run relay also stops current flow to the auxiliary relay. When the shutdown relay is energized, the magnetic switch and the pinion solenoid are de-energized. The starting operation then stops. The shutdown relay also energizes the shutoff solenoid to move the fuel control shaft to the fuel OFF position. The shutdown relay is energized until switch (SW2) is manually turned to the OFF position.

Automatic Stopping Operations


CONTROL PANEL CONTROLS IN AUTOMATIC POSITION; SHUTDOWN BY PROTECTION COMPONENT

When the contacts for any of the shutdown switches close, the shutdown relay and the alarm light are energized. This de-energizes the initiating relay, run relay and auxiliary relay. The shutoff solenoid is energized to move the fuel control shaft to the fuel OFF position. A parallel circuit through the fuel pressure switch and the normally closed contact of the run relay is also completed to the shutoff solenoid. The shutdown relay is energized until switch (SW2) is manually turned to the OFF position.

When commercial power is started again, the initiating contactor opens. This de-energizes the initiating relay, the run relay and the auxiliary relay. Current then goes through the normally closed contact of the run relay to the shutoff solenoid. The shutoff solenoid is energized to move the fuel control shaft to the FUEL OFF position.


CONTROL PANEL CONTROLS IN AUTOMATIC POSITION; EMERGENCY POWER NOT NEEDED

Manual Starting Operation


CONTROL PANEL CONTROLS IN MANUAL POSITION; ENGINE STARTING

Switch (SW1), in the MANUAL position, removes the initiating contactor from the circuit. In the MANUAL Position the initiating relay and the run relay are energized. This energizes the magnetic switch and the pinion solenoid. The starting motor is now connected to the battery. The starting operation starts. The overcrank timer is not in this circuit, so if the engine does not start, either switch (SW1) or (SW2) must be turned to another position to stop the starting operation. When the engine starts, the magnetic switch and the pinion solenoid are de-energized in the same way they are de-energized when the engine starts in the AUTOMATIC position.

Manual Stopping Operation


CONTROL PANEL CONTROLS IN AUTOMATIC POSITION; MANUAL SHUTDOWN

When switch (SW2) is move to the STOP position, current flow is directly to the shutoff solenoid. The shutoff solenoid moves the fuel control shaft to the fuel OFF position. The initiating relay, run relay and auxiliary relay are de-energized. Switch (SW2) must be held in the STOP position until the engine stops.

Attachments For Cranking Panel

Separate Alarm Lights


SEPARATE ALARM LIGHTS

This attachment shows the reason for shutdown.

Cycle Cranking Timer

The cycle cranking timer has a cycle crank module (CC). It permits adjustment of the amount of time that the starting motor operates. It can be set for 30 seconds of constant operation to 5 cycles of 10 seconds of operation with a 10 second delay between each cycle of operation. When the cranking cycles set in the timer are completed, cycle crank module (CC) closes the circuit to the overcrank relay (OCT).

Time Delay Relay

This attachment causes a 2 minute delay in the activation of the shutoff solenoid (RS) when the engine is automatically being stopped because of the return of (commercial) normal power.

The purpose of this time delay is to let the engine cool more slowly after running.

When the (commercial) normal power starts again, the initiating contactor (1) opens. This opens the circuit to the run relay (RR) and initiating relay (IR). The run relay (RR) has normally closed contacts which connect the oil pressure time delay switch (OPTD) with the time delay relay (TD). The oil pressure time delay switch (OPTD) is closed at this time. The time delay relay (TD) starts to measure time. After 2 more minutes of engine operation, the time delay relay (TD) activates. It closes its normally open contacts in the circuit between the oil pressure time delay switch (OPTD) and the shutoff solenoid (RS). Because the oil pressure time delay switch (OPTD) is closed, the circuit is now closed to the shutoff solenoid (RS): The shutoff solenoid (RS) activates. It moves the fuel control shaft to the FUEL OFF position. This makes the engine stop running.

If the (commercial) normal power stops before the engine stops turning, the engine can start running again immediately. This is because the initiating contactor (I) closes again. This closes the circuit to run relay (RR) and initiating relay (IR). The run relay (RR) activates and opens its normally closed contacts in the circuit with the time delay relay (TD). The time delay relay (TD) is now disconnected so it opens its normally open contacts in the circuit with the shutoff solenoid (RS). The shutoff solenoid (RS) releases the fuel in the fuel injection pump. The governor now controls the fuel supply to the engine. The governor gives the engine more fuel to make the speed increase to the correct speed for the engine.

If the initiating contactor (I) closes just as the engine stops turning, the starting motor can activate almost immediately. This is because the oil pressure switch (OPS) is activated by engine oil pressure. When the engine stops running, the oil pressure decreases faster than the engine stops its motion. If the engine does not start running again because of the force of rotation of the flywheel, the engine oil pressure does not increase to activate the oil pressure switch (OPS). If the oil pressure switch (OPS) does not activate, the starting motor (SM) activates when the initiating relay (IR) closes its contacts.

Electrical Gauges And Sending Units

The electrical gauges and sending units operate in electrical balance. Because of this, the voltage and resistance ratings are important to get the correct indications on the gauges. The chart shows components that operate together.

Sending Unit for Water Temperature


SENDING UNIT FOR WATER TEMPERATURE
1. Connection. 2. Bushing. 3. Bulb.

The sending unit for water temperature is an electrical resistance. It changes the value of its resistance according to the temperature which the bulb (3) feels.

The sending unit is in a series circuit with the electrical gauge. When the temperature is high, the resistance is high. This makes the gauge have a high reading.

The sending unit must be in contact with the coolant. If the coolant level is too low because of a sudden loss of coolant while the engine is running or because the level is too low before starting the engine, the sending unit will not work correctly.

Sending Unit for Oil Pressure


SENDING UNIT FOR OIL PRESSURE
1. Connection. 2. Fitting.

The sending unit for oil pressure is an electrical resistance. It has a material which changes electrical resistance according to pressure which it feels.

The sending unit for oil pressure is in a series circuit with the electrical gauge. As the pressure on the sending unit changes, the reading on the gauge changes in the same way.

Measuring Engine Speed


LOCATION FOR TACHOMETER DRIVE ADAPTER
A. Tachometer drive adapter.

Most engines have a location where a tachometer drive adapter can be installed. Install an adapter. Then connect it to the tachometer in the 4S6553 Engine Test Group, the 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter or the 1P5500 Portable Phototach Group.

NOTE: On some engines the service meter must be removed.


4S6553 ENGINE TEST GROUP

Special Instruction Form SEHS7341 is with the 4S6553 Engine Test Group. It has instructions on how to use the group.

The 1P5500 Portable Phototach Group can measure engine speed from the tachometer drive on the engine. It can also measure the speed of the engine parts (fan, flywheel, etc.) that have rotation. For the best accuracy the rpm of the part that is measured must be the same as the rpm of the engine. Special Instruction Form SMHS7015 has instructions on how to use the group.


1P5500 PORTABLE PHOTOTACH GROUP


5P2150 ENGINE HORSEPOWER METER

The 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter can measure engine speed from the tachometer drive on the engine. It can also measure engine speed from the signal made by a magnetic pickup when the teeth of the flywheel go by it. Special Instruction Form SMHS7050 has instructions for its use. The necessary information to use a magnetic pickup with the 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter is given in the following procedures.

Engines With Woodward PSG Governor

Engines which have the Woodward PSG Governor need a different method for measuring engine speed. This is because the adapter for the Woodward PSG Governor takes the place of the tachometer drive shaft. There are several methods for measuring engine speed. Use the one which is best for the work being done.

Tachometer in the Control Panel

If equipped, use the tachometer on the control panel.

Frequency Meter

If the engine is the drive for a generator with a frequency meter use it to measure the engine speed. The frequency meter reading is 60 Hertz at 1800 engine rpm. The frequency meter reading is 50 Hertz at 1500 engine rpm.

1P5500 Portable Phototach Group


1P5500 PORTABLE PHOTOTACH GROUP INSTALLED

The 1P5500 Portable Phototach Group can measure the speed of a rotating part of the engine if it is visible. For more accurate readings, use a part which rotates at the same speed as the engine. Special Instruction Form SMHS7015 has instructions for its use.

Magnetic Pickup

The flywheel housings used on these engines all have an opening for timing the engine. The adapter and magnetic pickup for testing can be installed at this location on all engines for test purposes. In addition, most of the flywheel housings also have a location for installation of the magnetic pickup for use with the electronic speed switch. If there is a magnetic pickup already installed and being used with the electronic speed switch, its signal can be used with an electronic counter or with the 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter. The operation of the magnetic pickup is the same for any of the installations.

The signal from the magnetic pickup is an AC voltage. Every tooth on the flywheel makes the signal have one cycle. Each revolution of the flywheel gives the signal one cycle per tooth. When the engine is running the number of teeth on the flywheel multiplied by the number of revolutions per minute gives the number of cycles per minute in the signal. Divide this number by 60 seconds per minute to get the number of Hertz (cycles per second).

The voltage output of the magnetic pickup is normally between 10 to 20 volts AC. If necessary, the voltage can be increased by turning the magnetic pickup in so that it is closer to the flywheel gear. The maximum voltage is approximately 80 Volts AC. These voltages are at normal engine speeds (approximately 1500 rpm).


NOTICE

Be careful when adjusting the magnetic pickup. Not enough clearance can cause damage to the magnetic pickup.


The voltage also changes with engine speed. Higher speed makes a signal with higher voltage.

Installation Procedure for Magnetic Pickup

The magnetic pickup (2) is to be installed so that the clearance dimension is .022 to .030 in. (0.56 to 0.76 mm) away from the flywheel gear teeth (5).

With the engine stopped, turn the magnetic pickup (2) in until it just has contact with a tooth. Then turn it out 1/2 of a turn. Tighten the locknut (4). This gives approximately the correct clearance dimension.


INSTALLATION OF MAGNETIC PICKUP
1. Clearance dimension. 2. Magnetic pickup. 3. Wires. 4. Locknut. 5. Flywheel gear teeth. 6. Adapter.

Checking the Magnetic Pickup

There are two ways to check a magnetic pickup (2).

One way is to measure the resistance through the magnetic pickup (2) with an accurate ohmmeter. The correct resistance is in the specifications.

The other way is to measure the voltage output with the engine running. This measurement is made with a voltmeter between the wires (3) when the engine is at normal operation speed. The wires (3) must be disconnected from any other circuit during the test. The voltage output must be according to the specifications. If the voltage is not correct and the installation is correct, make a replacement of the magnetic pickup (2).


ADAPTER

A cover for the timing pointer (3B817) which has been drilled and tapped as shown makes an adapter (6) which can fit all of these engines. A magnetic pickup (2) with a 1.5 megohm resistor in series with one of its wires and a phono plug on the end makes a magnetic pickup for testing. Together with the adapter, they make installation quick and easy.

2. Magnetic pickup. 4. Locknut. 7. 1.5 megohm resistor (5% or 10%) soldered in series with one wire. 8. Phono plug.


ADAPTER AND MAGNETIC PICKUP FOR TESTING INSTALLED

Electronic Counter

The electronic counter must be able to operate in the range of the signal from the magnetic pickup. The frequency range is 1100 to 6500 Hertz (cycles per second). The voltage range of the magnetic pickup is approximately 4 to 80 volts. If the engine has an electronic speed switch, keep the voltage input to it at 10 to 20 volts AC.

The input resistance of the electronic counter must be more than 1000 ohms if it is used in a parallel circuit with the electronic speed switch. Measure the resistance with an accurate ohmmeter. It is permissible to install resistors in series with the electronic counter to get the correct minimum resistance. This is necessary to keep the signal strong enough for the electronic speed switch to operate correctly.

If the frequency range is not correct, it is permissible to install an electronic frequency multiplier or divider to get the signal in the correct range. If the engine has an electronic speed switch, make sure that the installation does not change the signal which goes to the electronic speed switch. Also be sure that the input resistance of the electronic counter has more than 1000 ohms of resistance.

If the voltage range is not correct, it is permissible to change the adjustment of the magnetic pickup and to add more resistors to the circuit to get the correct voltage. Be sure to keep the voltage of the signal which goes to the electronic speed switch correct.

NOTE: Do not adjust the clearance of the magnetic pickup with the engine running. The end of the magnetic pickup can be damaged by contact with the turning flywheel gear.

When the items are correct according to the description given above, connect the electronic counter to the circuit. Start the engine. The number which is on the electronic counter is in relation to the engine speed. The relation between the engine speed and number on the electronic counter is the result of engine speed, the number of flywheel gear teeth, the factor for the counter and the use of an electronic divider or multiplier on the signal. The factor for the counter can be found easily. Connect the counter to a source of a known frequency. This can be to normal (commercial) or generator set power or to a frequency generator. Look at the number on the electronic counter. This number is in relation to the frequency of the power source by some factor. Use this factor with the information already given to get another factor which is the relation between the number on the electronic counter and the engine speed.

NOTE: When connecting the electronic counter to the source of a known frequency, be sure to keep the input voltage to the electronic counter in the range of the electronic counter.

5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter


5P2150 ENGINE HORSEPOWER METER

The 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter has an electronic counter. It can count the number of Hertz (cycles per second) in the signal from the magnetic pickup. It is necessary to install a resistor in series with one of the wires from the magnetic pickup to keep from damaging the parts in the 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter. The magnetic pickup for testing has the correct resistance.


MAGNETIC PICKUP FOR TESTING
1. Magnetic pickup. 2. 1.5 megohm resistor (5 or 10%) soldered in series with one of the wires. 3. Phono plug.

On engines with an electronic speed switch, the signal from its magnetic pickup is strong enough to operate the electronic speed switch and the electronic counter at the same time. Connect the input wires from the 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter to the "SIG" and "COM" terminals on the electronic speed switch. Install a 1.5 megohm resistor in series with one of the input wires. This decreases the input voltage to keep from damaging the parts in the 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter. The minimum voltage input to the electronic counter is 1.5 volts. If the voltage is too low make an adjustment to the magnetic pickup to get the minimum voltage. Do not make a change to the circuit that causes the voltage at the terminal strip to be less than 10 volts at 1500 engine rpm.

The 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter automatically shows the correct engine rpm when it is used with the standard tachometer generator. When it is used with the magnetic pickup, it does not show engine speed directly. This is because the signal from the magnetic pickup has more cycles per revolution of the engine than the standard tachometer generator. The signal from the standard tachometer generator has 10 cycles for each revolution of the engine. The signal from the magnetic pickup has one cycle for each flywheel gear tooth for each revolution of the engine. For example, if the flywheel gear has 156 teeth, there are 156 cycles for each revolution. The number which the meter shows is larger by a factor of 156 ÷ 10 or 15.6. This factor is the factor for the flywheel gear. At lower engine speeds, the number on the meter divided by the factor for the flywheel gear gives the engine speed. At higher engine speeds, the number is too big for the meter. The meter shows the four digits nearest to the decimal point. In the example, 15987, the first digit is 1. The number that the meter shows is 5987.

Look at the chart for the approximate engine rpm. The chart has the correct meter reading for that engine rpm according to the number of flywheel gear teeth. If the number has more than four digits, put the fifth digit from the chart with the number which is shown on the meter. Divide this number by the factor for the flywheel gear. The result is the correct engine rpm. Remember that a change of 1 rpm in engine speed makes a change of 13.2 or 15.6 in the rpm shown on the meter.

NOTE: Early models use a manual adjustment screw.

4. Turn stop screw (2) clockwise until it stops. Tighten locknut (3).

5. If the engine speed is still correct, the adjustment is correct.

Check Speed Droop

The speed droop can be adjusted between zero and seven percent. The desired speed droop will be different for different applications. Percent of speed droop is the percent difference between the engine speed at no load and full load. To calculate speed droop use the formula:

1. Get the desired speed droop for the application.

2. Multiply the full load speed by the desired speed droop. Add the number from this multiplication to the full load speed to get the no load speed.

3. Start the engine and let it run until the temperature of the coolant is normal.

4. Adjust the engine speed to get the no load speed from Step 2.

5. Connect a known load to the engine. The load must be less than the full capacity of the engine. Make a record of the decrease in engine speed.

6. Make a ratio between the load on the engine and the full load capacity of the engine. This ratio must be the same as the ratio between the decrease in engine speed from Step 5 and the number from the multiplication in Step 2. For example:

7. If the ratios are not the same an adjustment of the speed droop is necessary. Remove the load and stop the engine. If the engine speed decreased too much according to the ratio decrease the amount of speed droop. If the decrease in engine speed is not enough increase the amount of speed droop. See SPEED DROOP ADJUSTMENT.

Speed Droop Adjustment (Later PSG Governors)

1. Make a mark on cover (1) to show the original position of bracket (3). This will show how much a change in bracket position changes the speed droop.

2. Loosen knob (2) that holds bracket (3) and speed droop lever (4) in position.

3. To increase the speed droop turn lever (4) counterclockwise. To decrease the speed droop turn lever (4) clockwise.

NOTE: If the lever is turned clockwise beyond the point where the speed droop is zero the engine will hunt a large amount and will not get stability.

4. Tighten knob (2) to hold the lever and bracket in position. After an adjustment is made check the speed droop. See CHECK SPEED DROOP. Several adjustments can be necessary to get the desired speed droop.

5. When lever (4) is in the position that gives the desired speed droop, set stop screw (5) against the pin on lever (4). This will make it easy to return the speed droop lever to the desired position after disassembly and assembly of the governor.

Electronic Speed Switch (Earlier)

NOTE: Some of the early 3N7478 Overspeed Contactor Groups have a speed switch that activates and stops the engine at 25% of the overspeed set point. A method of identification for these early 25% speed switches is to look at terminals 7 and 9. The electrical code letters for these terminals are wrong. Terminal 7 has the letters (NC) and terminal 9 has the letters (NO). Make a change to these two terminals so the letters for terminal 7 are (NO) and the letters for terminal 9 are (NC). After the change is made, put a mark on the speed switch to show the change to the terminals and also make a mark so it is known that it is a 25% speed switch. The speed switch in the 3N9595 Overspeed Contactor Group and in the later 3N7478 Overspeed Contactor Groups activate at 75% of the overspeed set point. The speed switch in each of these groups has an identification mark to show it is a 75% speed switch.

There are two components to check if there is problem with the operation of the electronic speed switch; the magnetic pickup and the switch operation.

Checking the Magnetic Pickup


MAGNETIC PICKUP
1. Clearance. 2. Wires.

1. Check the resistance of the magnetic pickup with the wires (2) disconnected and the engine stopped. The resistance must be according to specifications.

2. Start the engine. Check the voltage output of the magnetic pickup with the engine running at normal speed. The output must be according to specifications.


MAGNETIC PICKUP INSTALLED

NOTE: If the voltage output is not correct according to specifications, check for the correct clearance (1) between the magnetic pickup and the flywheel gear teeth.

3. If the operation of the magnetic pickup is correct according to the specifications after the tests above, connect the wires and check the operation of the electronic speed switch.

Procedure D

Overspeed Verify Test

1. Run engine at rated speed, push verify button (5) in for a moment. This will cause the speed switch to activate and shut down the engine.

NOTE: Any time the engine speed is 75% or more of the overspeed setting, the engine will shut down if the verify button is pushed.

EXAMPLE: For an engine with a rated speed of 1500 rpm the overspeed setting is 1770 rpm. The overspeed verify test will shut down the engine at 75% of the overspeed setting of 1770 rpm. In this example 75% of 1770 rpm is 1328 rpm. If the verify button is pushed at an engine speed of 1328 rpm or above the engine will shut down.

The "LED" overspeed light (7) will come on and stay on until the reset button is pushed after an overspeed switch shut down. To restart the engine, push in reset button (6) for a moment. This will reset the speed switch and the rack shutoff solenoid. The "LED" overspeed light (7) will go off. The air inlet shutoff must be manually reset.

NOTE C: To verify overspeed shutdown system operation, push in for a moment the verify push button. The engine must shut down at 75% or more of overspeed setting.

NOTE D: Input Voltage: Maximum 37 VDC Minimum 8 VDC.

NOTE E: The engine overspeed setting rpm is 118% of rated engine rpm.

NOTE F: The magnetic pick-up frequency (HZ) at the overspeed or cranking termination setting is calculated with the formula that follows:

If the rated speed of the engine is other than shown in the chart, the magnetic pick-up frequency for the overspeed setting can be found according to NOTES E and F.

If a 2301 Governor is used, only one magnetic pick-up is needed. Use the magnetic pick-up from the overspeed group. Connect the wires from the magnetic pick-up to the overspeed switch and then connect wires from the speed switch to the 2301 Governor. The overspeed switch can be installed close to the 2301 Governor if needed.

To reset overspeed switch, push in reset button for a moment.

Power Takeoff Clutches

Clutch Adjustment

The force (pull) needed to engage the clutch gives an indication of clutch adjustment. The correct lever pull is shown in the chart.

These clutches use two types of adjustment lock pins. Pin (1) must be pushed in and the adjustment ring turned. Pin (2) must be pulled out and the adjustment ring turned.


CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
1. Lock pin (push type). 2. Lock pin (pull type).

Assembly Adjustments

End Play For Shaft Bearings

1. With the bearings installed on the shaft, install the shaft in the housing.

2. Tighten the bearing retainer until there is no end play of the shaft.

3. Turn the bearing retainer out the number of notches shown in the chart.

4. Hit the output end of the shaft with a soft hammer to move the bearing cup against the retainer.

5. Measure the end play for the shaft. The correct end play is shown in the chart.

6. If necessary make an adjustment to the retainer to get the correct end play using the procedure in Steps 2 through 5.

7. Install the lock for the retainer.

Installing Hub Nut

1. Tighten hub nut to 30 lb. ft. (40 N·m).

2. For 2N7078 and 2N6961 Clutches, tighten the hub nut 150° to 180° more.

3. For 1N7309 and 2F8223 Clutches, tighten the hub nut 60° to 90° more.

Checking Flywheel And Flywheel Housing

Before installing the clutch, make a check of the bore and face of the flywheel and flywheel housing.

Make reference to the Testing and Adjusting section for the correct procedures and specifications.

Instruments And Gauges

Oil Pressure Sending Units


SENDING UNIT FOR OIL PRESSURE
1. Terminal. 2. Fitting.

1. Connect the sending unit to a pressure source that can be measured with accuracy.

2. Connect an ohmmeter between fitting (2) and terminal (1).

3. Take resistance readings at the pressure shown in the chart.

4. If a unit does not have the correct resistance readings make a replacement of the unit.

Water Temperature Sending Unit

1. Connect an ohmmeter between terminal (1) and nut (2). Put bulb (3) in a pan of water. Do not let the bulb have contact with the pan.


SENDING UNIT FOR WATER TEMPERATURE
1. Terminal. 2. Nut. 3. Bulb.

2. Put a thermometer in the water to measure the temperature.

3. Take resistance readings at the temperatures shown in the chart.

4. If a unit does not have the correct resistance readings make a replacement of the unit.

Electric Gauges

1. Put the gauge in position with the letters horizontal and the face 30° back from vertical.


WIRING DIAGRAM FOR TEST
1. Terminal (for test voltage). 2. Test resistance.

2. Connect the gauge in series with the power source and the middle test resistance shown in the chart.

3. Let the gauge heat at the middle resistance for 5 minutes, then check the pointer position for all of the resistances given.

Mechanical Gauges For Temperature

Two types of mechanical gauges are available. The first type has a direct reading face. The second type has color codes on the face to show different ranges of operation. White, green and red show the cold, normal and hot ranges respectively.

To check both types of gauges, put the bulb of the gauge in a pan of oil. Do not let the bulb touch the pan. Put a thermometer in the oil to measure the temperature. Make a comparison of temperatures on the thermometer with the temperatures on the direct reading gauge or with temperature as shown on the chart for gauges with color codes.


DIRECT READING GAUGE


GAUGE WITH COLOR CODE

Mechanical Gauges For Oil Pressure

Two types of mechanical gauges are available. The first type has a direct reading face. The second type has color codes on the face to show different ranges of operation. Red, white and green show the low pressure, pressure at low idle rpm and normal pressure ranges respectively. Some of the direct reading gauges are for gear oil pressure.

NOTE: Some gauges with color codes have only two ranges. Red for low pressure and green for normal pressure.

To check both types of gauges connect the gauge to a pressure source that can be measured with accuracy. Make a comparison of pressures on the gauge of test equipment with the pressures on the direct reading gauge or with the pressures as shown on the chart for gauges with color codes.
