STEP 5. SET THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH COMPATIBLE TO THE CONNECTIONS AT THE LOAD
TERMINALS, THE OUTPUT BETWEEN ANY TWO TERMINALS WILL BE INDICATED ON THE
VOLTMETER. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR IS SET ON V 1-2 IT WILL
CAUSE AN INDICATION ON THE VOLTMETER, REFLECTING THE VOLTAGE OUTPUT
BETWEEN LOAD TERMINALS 1 AND 2.
STEP 6. USING THE VARIALE RESISTOR ADJUST UNTIL THE VOLTMETER REGISTERS DESIRED
VOLTAGE. THE LOAD METER SOUL READ "O".
INSPECT THE FREQUENCY METER. IT SHOULD INDICATE 400 HZ OR 60 HZ,
STEP 7.
DEPENDING ON WHICH MACHINE IS BEING OPERATED.
IF THE FREQUENCY READING IS INCORRECT, THE ENGINE GOVERNOR MUST BE
NOTE:
ADJUSTED. REFER TO APPENDIX A FOR GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENT,
PLACE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE ON POSITION TO APPLY THE LOAD.
STEP 8.
STEP 9. USE THE CURRENT SELECTOR SWITCH AND THE LOAD METER INDICATIONS TO
DETERMINE THE CURRENT DRAW ON EACH TERMINAL (EXCLUDING TERMINAL "LO")
AND PHASE THE LOAD READING SHOULD NOT EXCEED 100% AT ANY POSITION OF
THE CURRENT SELECTOR SWITCH.
CAUTION: IF MORE THAN 100 PERCENT OF FULL LOAD CURRENT IS INDICATED ON THE LOAD
METER, REDUCE THE LOAD OR STOP THE GENERATOR SET AND REPORT TO
ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE.
STEP 10. READJUST THE VARIABLE RESISTOR, IF NECESSARY, TO COMPENSATE FOR THE
CURRENT DRAW:
THE FIELD FLASH SWITCH IS TO BE USED AS A MANUAL METHOD OF FLASHING THE
NOTE:
GENERATOR FIELDS ONLY WHEN THE VOLTAGE FAILS TO BUILD UP AUTOMATICALLY
LATER MODELS HAVE NO FIELD FLASH SWITCH.
STEP 11. WHEN THE OPERATION IS COMPLETE, PLACE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE OFF
POSITION AND STOP THE GENERATOR SET.
