CHAPTER 15
MATERIEL USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GENERATOR SET
15-1. GENERAL. Auxiliary equipment used in
conjunction with the generator set includes the remote
control module and cable, the automatic control module,
and the housing kit. The. remote control module allows
remote start, stop, monitoring and control of single or
parallel operation of generator sets. Control devices on
the remote control panel are similar to the control panel
on the generator set control cubicle. It is connected to the
generator set by a 1000 foot (300 m) cable. The
automatic
control
module
provides
an
unattended
automatic control system. When the automatic system
requires one to four generator sets to support the load,
one automatic control module is required. The housing kit
encloses the generator set with shutters and access
doors. It is attached to the generator set support frame
assembly and the base assembly. The housing kit
assembly louvers are automatically controlled by a
mechanical linkage, motor-driven system. Auxiliary
equipments also include a fuel hose, two electrical male
connectors, and two sling assemblies.
Section I. MAINTENANCE OF REMOTE CABLE ASSEMBLY
15-2. REMOTE CONTROL CABLE. The remote control
cable assembly is used to connect the remote control
module to the generator set. The cable assembly may be
of any length up to a maximum of 1000 feet (300 m).
15-3. INSPECTION. Inspect cable assembly for
damaged connectors, loose pins, poor and loose electrical
connections, and damaged cable.
15-4. REPLACEMENT. The remote cable assembly is
connected from J2, J1, and J4 connectors at the rear of
the generator set control cubicle to the rear of the remote
control module at connectors J2, J1, and J4. Cable (6,
figure 15-1) is a 25-conductor, AWG 14 wire with PVC
jacket and two connectors P2 (2) at each end. Cable (5)
is a 37-conductor, AWG 14 wire with two connectors P1
and P4 (1 and 3) at each end. The cable is assembled
with self-locking tie wraps (4) approximately 6 inches (152
mm) apart. Refer to Chapter 10 for detail interconnection
data and wire list.
15-5. REPAIR. Test each parallel wire for continuity. Be
sure wire is not shorted either to the connector, or to
another wire. Wire routing is common between like pins
of connectors: E to E, D to D, etc. Wires are AWG 14,
1000 feet long (300 m), and color coded. When replacing
connectors, solder in accordance with requirements 5 of
MIL-STD-454.
Section II. MAINTENANCE OF REMOTE CONTROL MODULE
15-6. GENERAL. This section contains maintenance
information on the synchroscope, relays, circuit card, and
flashing
circuit.
The
troubleshooting
procedures
contained in tables 5-2 and 5-3, of the Operator and
Organizational Maintenance manual completely isolate
any faults that may occur. For maintenance of other
remote control module components, refer to the Operator
and Organizational Maintenance manual.
15-7. SYNCHROSCOPE.
a. Inspection. Inspect the synchroscope for loose
electrical connections, damaged case, or scratched
glass.
b. Testing.
(1) Connect the synchroscope as shown in
figure 15-2 test setup. Frequency
generators used should be capable of
providing minimum 50 volts, maximum
240 volts. Frequency 0 to 60 Hz. For
testing, the pull-in frequency is 47 Hz.
(2) The synchroscope axial
