TM 5-6115-593-12TO 35C2-3-463-1the following engine operatingconditions: oil pressure, oiltemperature, water temperature andfuel level. Transmitters MT1 throughMT4 which are connected to gaugesM1 through M4, are actually variableresistors whose resistance changes asa function of the parameter beingmonitored. Once the engine starts allof these circuits are activated throughnormally open contacts 3 and 4 ofrelay K1. Meter M5 is an elapsedtime meter which is energized by K1contacts only when the engine isrunning.(3)Fuel Transfer. Prolonged operation ofthe engine generator set is obtainedby the use of additional fuel tanks.The transfer of fuel from these tanksto the day tank is controlledautomatically by fuel level switchesFL1 and FL2. FL2 senses when daytank fuel falls below a certain leveland closes to energize relay K20through FUEL PUMP AUTO-OFFswitch S9 and high-level switch FL1.With K20 energized, motor B1 startspumping fuel to the day tank. Whenfull, FL1 opens, deenergizing K20which subsequently stops motor B1.FUEL PUMP indicator lamp DS1connected across B1, lights anytimefuel is being pumped.(4)Battle Short. During battle conditions,the requirement of continued engineoperation may override the need toprotect the engine. BATTLE SHORTswitch S7 when set to ON, energizesselfholding relay K50. Closedcontacts 3 and 4 of K50 bypass thefault-sensing contacts of low fuel relayK8, water temperature switch WT1, oiltemperature switch OT1, oil pressureswitch OP1, and overvoltage relayK32.k.Miscellaneous. The followingsubparagraphs briefly describe those DCcircuits not directly related to engineoperation:(1)BATTERY CHRG AMPS meter M21monitors battery charging current. Itis connected in series with the batterycharger.(2)BATTERY CHRG VOLTS meters M20monitors DC electrical systemvoltage.(3)The digital CLOCK M111 indicatesdaily time. Switch S52 (50 Hz)enables clock operation at either 50 or60 Hertz.(4)The panel lights are controlled byPANEL LT SW S11.(5)24V DC CONTROL CIRCUITBREAKER CB1 controls theapplication of 24V DC to the DCElectrical Control System and may beused to shut down the engine duringan emergency.(6)OPERATION-MAINTENANCELOCKOUT switch S2 prevents theengine from being started duringmaintenance. It may also be used foremergency shut down.1-15. AC POWER GENERATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM. (See FO-2.)a.Introduction. The purpose of the enginegenerator set is to produce an electricaloutput. To accomplish this end, an AC 3-phase, brushless-type generator is directlycoupled to the diesel engine. The AC powergenerator and control system monitors andcontrols the generator set to ensure that aconstant output in terms of amplitude,phase, and frequency is maintained underall permissible load conditions and modes ofoperation. The following paragraphs explainand describe the various functions of thiscontrol system.1-26
