Frequency meter fails
to register.
Percent power meter
fails to register.
Units paralleling out of
phase (B2) (contactor
closing when parallel-
ing lights are bright).
Remote sensing
inoperative.
Probable cause
a.
Frequency
meter
defective.
b. Frequency
transducer
defective.
c.
Engine speed
too low.
a.
Percent power
meter defective.
b.
Thermal watt
converter
defective.
c.
Set operating
at no-load.
Permissive paralleling
relay (K16) defective.
a.
b.
c.
d.
Local - Remote
voltage switch
(S5) on control
panel in local
position or
defective.
Remote sensing
leads not
connected to
sensing point.
K6 relay de-
fective.
Control panel
relay (A4)
components
(R10 and CR1)
defective.
Corrective action

Replace meter and transducer
(Refer to Operator and Organi-
zational Maintenance Manual).
Replace frequency meter and
transducer (Refer to Operator
and Organizational Maintenance
Manual).
Raise engine speed to rated value.
(Refer to Operator and Organiza-
tional Maintenance Manual).
Replace meter (Refer to Operator
and Organizational Maintenance
Manual).
Replace thermal watt converter
A1 (para 3-7).
Adjust load bank or apply load.
(Refer to Operator and Organiza-
tional Maintenance Manual).
Measure ac voltage between 1
and 2 on K16. When lights
are the brightest, 120 volts
should exist; voltage should
decrease toward zero, as
lights dim. If voltage is
OK, remove leads from
relay pins 7 and 8. Measure
continuity across pins 7
and 8 while observing volt -
meter connected at pins 1
and 2. Continuity should
exist at 9 volts and below.
There should be no continuity
at 9 volts and above. Replace
defective relay K16 (para
8-6 and 8-7).

Place switch in correct position.
Check switch for continuity in
all positions.
(Refer to Operator
and Organizational Maintenance
Manual).
Check connections. Make correct
connections,
Check relay K6. Replace if
defective (para 3-5 and 3-10).
Replace R10 or CR1 if defective
(para 3-3 thru 3-5).
