SECTION II.
MAINTENANCE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY
11-3.GENERAL The remote control cable assembly is a 50-conductor cable providing a means of interconnecting the
generator set with a remote control module up to 100 feet (30 meters) away. Direct support maintenance is limited to
repair of the remote control cable assembly.
11-4.REMOTE CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY REPAIR.
a.
Remove damp (1, Figure 11-2).
b.
Slide bushing (3) away from plug connector (2) to expose connections.
c.
Tag wires and unsolder plug connector (2). Remove bushing (3).
d.
Remove marker band (4) from cable (5).
e.
Repair the cable as follows:
(1)
If less than 30 percent of the wires in the cable (5) are damaged, disconnect and if possible, remove the
damaged wire. Replace with a jacketed wire of the same size and type, and transfer the tags from the
damaged wire. Secure the new wire to the cable (5) with tape or tiedown straps.
(2)
If more than 30 percent of the wires are damaged, repair by replacing the cable (5) with a new length of
cable.
f.
Repair damaged damps (1), plug connectors (2), bushings (3) or marker band (4) by replacement.
g.
Install marker band (4) onto the cable (5).
h.
