Auxiliary equipment used inconjunction with the generator set includes the remotecontrol module and cable, the automatic control module,and the housing kit. The. remote control module allowsremote start, stop, monitoring and control of single orparallel operation of generator sets. Control devices onthe remote control panel are similar to the control panelon the generator set control cubicle. It is connected to thegenerator set by a 1000 foot (300 m) cable. Theautomatic control module provides an unattendedautomatic control system. When the automatic systemrequires one to four generator sets to support the load,one automatic control module is required. The housing kitencloses the generator set with shutters and accessdoors. It is attached to the generator set support frameassembly and the base assembly. The housing kitassembly louvers are automatically controlled by amechanical linkage, motor-driven system. Auxiliaryequipments also include a fuel hose, two electrical maleconnectors, and two sling assemblies.Section I. MAINTENANCE OF REMOTE CABLE ASSEMBLY15-2. REMOTE CONTROL CABLE. The remote controlcable assembly is used to connect the remote controlmodule to the generator set. The cable assembly may beof any length up to a maximum of 1000 feet (300 m).15-3. INSPECTION. Inspect cable assembly fordamaged connectors, loose pins, poor and loose electricalconnections, and damaged cable.15-4. REPLACEMENT. The remote cable assembly isconnected from J2, J1, and J4 connectors at the rear ofthe generator set control cubicle to the rear of the remotecontrol module at connectors J2, J1, and J4. Cable (6,figure 15-1) is a 25-conductor, AWG 14 wire with PVCjacket and two connectors P2 (2) at each end. Cable (5)is a 37-conductor, AWG 14 wire with two connectors P1and P4 (1 and 3) at each end. The cable is assembledwith self-locking tie wraps (4) approximately 6 inches (152mm) apart. Refer to Chapter 10 for detail interconnectiondata and wire list.15-5. REPAIR. Test each parallel wire for continuity. Besure wire is not shorted either to the connector, or toanother wire. Wire routing is common between like pinsof connectors: E to E, D to D, etc. Wires are AWG 14,1000 feet long (300 m), and color coded. When replacingconnectors, solder in accordance with requirements 5 ofMIL-STD-454.Section II. MAINTENANCE OF REMOTE CONTROL MODULE15-6. GENERAL. This section contains maintenanceinformation on the synchroscope, relays, circuit card, andflashing circuit. The troubleshooting procedurescontained in tables 5-2 and 5-3, of the Operator andOrganizational Maintenance manual completely isolateany faults that may occur. For maintenance of otherremote control module components, refer to the Operatorand Organizational Maintenance manual.15-7. SYNCHROSCOPE.a. Inspection. Inspect the synchroscope for looseelectrical connections, damaged case, or scratchedglass.b. Testing.(1) Connect the synchroscope as shown infigure 15-2 test setup. Frequencygenerators used should be capable ofproviding minimum 50 volts, maximum240 volts. Frequency 0 to 60 Hz. Fortesting, the pull-in frequency is 47 Hz.(2) The synchroscope axial15-1
