MALFUNCTION
TEST OR INSPECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
b.
Model MEP-023A. With generator set operating at 3428 rpm, remove the screw in the
face of the frequency converter and adjust the potentiometer for a reading of 400 HZ on
the frequency meter. If proper reading is not obtained, proceed as follows:
(1)
Disconnect the lead from the positive ( + ) and negative (-) terminals on the frequency meter.
(2)
Attach a multimeter with the scale set to read at least 200 microamperes, to the + and terminals on the
frequency meter.
(3)
Operate generator set at 3428 rpm and turn adjusting screw to obtain a 100 microamperes on the multimeter
scale.
(4)
If reading is accomplished, the frequency meter on the control panel is faulty and must be replaced.
(5)
If reading of 100 microamperes cannot be obtained, disconnect the wire leads from the two L terminals on
the frequency converter. Test the wire leads. If no defect is discovered, replace frequency converter (below) and
operate generator set. Turn adjusting screw to obtain 400 HZ reading.
If frequency meter does not pass the above test, replace it. Refer to figures 4-61 or 4-62
and replace the meter to the applicable model generator set.
