The remote control cable (34, Figure 5-1) connects the remote control module to the generator set.All the required wires for connecting the module are gathered into the cable assembly, which requires only one plug-typeconnection at each end5-11.INSTALLATION. Procedures for connecting the remote control cable assembly are included in paragraph 5-3.5-12.OPERATOR MAINTENANCE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY . Operator maintenance ofthe remote control cable assembly consists of Inspection and replacement of the cable assembly as a unit.a.Inspect.Perform visual inspection on RCM cable assembly (34, Figure 5-1) as follows.(1) Inspect plug connectors on both ends of the RCM cable assembly (34). Check for cracks,deformities, and other damage. Check that the conductor terminals Inside each connector are freefrom dirt and other obstructions. Check mounting hardware on cable connectors for damagedthreads.(2) Lay out the RCM cable assembly Inspect cable bushings and cable insulation sleeves for cracks,cuts, ruptures, and other damage. Check that the cable clamps are securely mounted.b.Remove.(1)Unplug the damaged or defective RCM cable assembly (34, Figure 5-1) from the generator set andfrom the connector receptacle (36).(2) Plug the replacement RCM remote control cable assembly (34, Figure 5-1) into connectorreceptacle (36) and into the generator set in accordance with the instructions in paragraph 5-3.5-13.UNIT TROUBLESHOOTING. Table 5-3 contains troubleshooting information for use in correcting operatingtroubles which may develop in the remote control module. Each malfunction is followed by a list of tests or inspectionswhich will help to determine probable causes and corrective actions to take. Perform the tests or inspections andcorrective actions in the order of the organizational maintenance should be referred to the next higher (direct support)level of maintenance.Table 5-3. Unit Remote Control Module TroubleshootingMALFUNCTIONTEST OR INSPECTIONCORRECTIVE ACTIONTo avoid Injury to personnel, no electrical component will be worked on whileenergized. Ensure equipment is "tagged out" in accordance with Chapter 1,Section III, of this manual and equipment Is NOT energized. Residual voltage Ispresent at the generator leads with the regulator turned off, reaching SEVERALHUNDRED VOLTS on the generator set. Proper insulation and isolation ofmetering equipment must be observed when testing this generator. USE PROPERTEST EQUIPMENT TO CHECK FOR VOLTAGE before proceeding with work.5-28
