TM 5-6115-593-12TO 35C2-3-463-1available to LR1 (LRTD1) - LR4 (LRTD4) make up theprioritized feeder breaker control circuits. The first setto close to the bus will energize a BR relay which willalways close LR1 (Load Relay) and its 2-20 second(adjust- able) time delay (LRTD1) secondly. Each LRand LRTD should control loads not to exceed 250KWeach. LRTD's allow a time delay between loadapplications as to allow engine turbochargers to build upspeed. LR1 relay will always be the first relay toenergize on start-up and the last relay to de-energizewhen the sets are shut down. Therefore, it is classifiedas the #1 priority feeder breaker control. When LR1relay energizes, it also prevents RR relay from being re-energized if utility power returns via LR1 normallyclosed contacts in series with RR relay coil. This allowsall sets, which are in the automatic mode, to completetheir start-up and parallel cycles regardless of utilitypower returning. As each remaining set is automaticallysynchronized and paralleled to the bus, the remainingLR and LRTD relays will energize in numerical order.The ACM has a 3 position rotary switch labeled"Instant", "Time Delay" (TD) and "No Return". Thisswitch allows the user three options as to what willhappen when the utility power returns after a failure. Ifthe switch is in the "Instant" return position, immediately,when the utility power returns, the utility 120 VAC will besupplied through energized T.D. relay normally opencontacts through S1 to TB2-1, 2, 3, and 4 to J3-C on allunits, energizing the breaker trip relay (BTR) which willshunt trip each unit's circuit breaker (CB2). At this time,all BR, LR and LRTD relays de-energize causing theLR1 normally closed contact, in series with RR coil, toreclose allowing RR relay to re-energize, therebyallowing the utility breaker to close back to the load. Inthe "TD" position, a 3-30 minute (adjustable) time delayvia UTR (Utility Trip Relay) allows a predetermined timedelay after the utility power returns before the unit circuitbreakers (CB2) are tripped. This insures utility powerhas returned to stay, avoiding unnecessary transfer andre-transfers of the utility breaker control. In the "noreturn" position, the generators will carry the load untilswitched off by the operator.At the same instant when all units CB2's are trippedopen via BTR, SDT (Shut Down Timer) begins a 300second (adjustable) time out before de-energizing. TheSDT relay allows the engines to continue to run and cooldown after the load has been removed.At the end of this time delay period, SDT N.O. contactsre-open, removing the 24 VDC to TB4-5, 6, 7, 8 and J3-B which in turn allows K5 relays to de-energize and stopall units.This completes the automatic start and shutdown cycleof the generator set via the ACM.5-14. INSTALLATION. The automatic control moduleis a self-housed unit, for indoor or outdoor operation.The unit should be placed as level as possible, on firm,dry, footing. Allow approximately 24 inches (62 cm)clearance on each side of the unit for access duringoperation and maintenance. See paragraph 2-11 forinformation on connecting the automatic control module,FO-12 for a schematic, and FO-15 for a connectiondiagram.5-15. LUBRICATION. The automatic control modulerequires no lubrication.5-16. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS ANDSERVICES (A, N, MC). To ensure that the automaticcontrol module is always ready for operation, inspectsystematically so that defects may be discovered andcorrected before they result in serious damage orfailure. Perform the preventive maintenance checksand services in accordance with table 5-4. Air Forceusers shall refer to the applicable inspection manualsand work card sets in T.O. 35C2-3- series for periodicpreventive maintenance requirements and table 5-4 fordetailed procedures. Marine Corps users shall refer tothe current issue of TM 11275-15/1. See par. 2-11 andfig. 2-19 for operation.5-17.OPERATOR/CREW TROUBLESHOOTING.Table 5-5 contains troubleshooting information for use incorrecting operating troubles which may develop in thegenerator set when used with the automatic controlmodule. Each malfunction is followed by a list of testsor inspections which will help to determine probablecauses and corrective actions to take. Perform the testsor inspections and corrective actions in the order listed.Any trouble beyond the scope of crew levelmaintenance shall be referred to the next higher(organizational)5-14
