Design Changes to the Electronic Thermostat on C175-16 Generator Set Engines {135V, 4490, 5927}
- Generator Set:
- C175-16 (S/N: WYB1-UP)
ReferenceSpecial Instruction, REHS7404, "Protecting the C175 Electronic Thermostat from Moisture Entry"
Description of Change: The following design changes have been made to the electronic thermostat:
- Improved press fit for the drive pin in the motor mount assembly
- Improved RTV sealant application between the motor housing and the cover
- A new motor that uses a single harness cable with potting material in the connector rather than dual cables
- Heat shrink tubing between the motor harness connector and the temperature control module
- Added a fitting and a line to allow water to drain in case of moisture entry into the motor cavity
Adaptable To:
The changes to the 286-4571 Thermostatic Valve Gp (ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL) are effective with WYB00668.
The changes to the 286-4571 Thermostatic Valve Gp (ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL) are adaptable to C175-16 Generator Set Engines back to first production.
For information on retrofitting the design changes, refer to the publication that is referenced above.
