Safety Precautions and Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. Electromechanical equipment, including generator sets, transfer switches, switchgear, and accessories, can cause bodily harm and pose life-threatening danger when improperly installed, operated, or maintained. To prevent accidents be aware of potential dangers and act safely. Read and follow all safety precautions and instructions. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual has several types of safety precautions and instructions: Danger, Warning, Caution, and Notice.
Accidental Starting
WARNING
Battery
WARNING
Accidental starting. Can cause severe injury or death. Disconnect the battery cables before working on the generator set. Remove the negative (--) lead first when disconnecting the battery. Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Before working on the generator set or connected equipment, disable the generator set as follows: (1) Move the generator set master switch to the OFF position. (2) Disconnect the power to the battery charger. (3) Remove the battery cables, negative (--) lead first. Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Follow these precautions to prevent starting of the generator set by an automatic transfer switch, remote start/stop switch, or engine start command from a remote computer.
Sulfuric acid in batteries. Can cause severe injury or death. Wear protective goggles and clothing. Battery acid may cause blindness and burn skin. Battery electrolyte is a diluted sulfuric acid. Battery acid can cause severe injury or death. Battery acid can cause blindness and burn skin. Always wear splashproof safety goggles, rubber gloves, and boots when servicing the battery. Do not open a sealed battery or mutilate the battery case. If battery acid splashes in the eyes or on the skin, immediately flush the affected area for 15 minutes with large quantities of clean water. Seek immediate medical aid in the case of eye contact. Never add acid to a battery after placing the battery in service, as this may result in hazardous spattering of battery acid. Battery acid cleanup. Battery acid can cause severe injury or death. Battery acid is electrically conductive and corrosive. Add 500 g (1 lb.) of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to a container with 4 L (1 gal.) of water and mix the neutralizing solution. Pour the neutralizing solution on the spilled battery acid and continue to add the neutralizing solution to the spilled battery acid until all evidence of a chemical reaction (foaming) has ceased. Flush the resulting liquid with water and dry the area.
DANGER

Battery gases. Explosion can cause severe injury or death. Battery gases can cause an explosion. Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to occur near a battery at any time, particularly when it is charging. Do not dispose of a battery in a fire. To prevent burns and sparks that could cause an explosion, avoid touching the battery terminals with tools or other metal objects. Remove all jewelry before servicing the equipment. Discharge static electricity from your body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface away from the battery. To avoid sparks, do not disturb the battery charger connections while the battery is charging. Always turn the battery charger off before disconnecting the battery connections. Ventilate the compartments containing batteries to prevent accumulation of explosive gases. Battery short circuits. Explosion can cause severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily injury and/or equipment damage. Disconnect the battery before generator set installation or maintenance. Remove all jewelry before servicing the equipment. Use tools with insulated handles. Remove the negative (--) lead first when disconnecting the battery. Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Never connect the negative (--) battery cable to the positive (+) connection terminal of the starter solenoid. Do not test the battery condition by shorting the terminals together.
Servicing the fuel system. A flash fire can cause severe injury or death. Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks near the carburetor, fuel line, fuel filter, fuel pump, or other potential sources of spilled fuels or fuel vapors.

Operating the generator set. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, nonirritating gas that can cause death if inhaled for even a short time. Use the following precautions when installing and operating the generator set. Do not install the exhaust outlet where exhaust can be drawn in through portholes, vents, or air conditioners. If the generator set exhaust discharge outlet is near the waterline, water could enter the exhaust discharge outlet and close or restrict the flow of exhaust. Never operate the generator set without a functioning carbon monoxide detector. Be especially careful if operating the generator set when moored or anchored under calm conditions because gases may accumulate. If operating the generator set dockside, moor the craft so that the exhaust discharges on the lee side (the side sheltered from the wind). Always be aware of others, making sure your exhaust is directed away from other boats and buildings. Avoid overloading the craft.
The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel vapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by vibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence of fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systems before resuming generator set operation. Draining the fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Spilled fuel can cause an explosion. Use a container to catch fuel when draining the fuel system.

Section 2 Operation
2.1 Fast-Responset II Concepts
The generator excitation system uses a permanent magnet exciter with a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) assembly that controls the amount of DC current fed to the generator field. This type of system uses a voltage regulator that signals the SCR assembly through an optocoupler. The voltage regulator monitors generator output voltage and engine speed and signals the SCR assembly to turn on or off accordingly through the optocoupler. The optical coupler consists of a light emitting diode (LED) mounted on the stationary end bracket and a photo transistor mounted on the rotating shaft. The photo transistor picks up the infrared signal from the LED and signals the SCR assembly to turn on or off, depending upon the need, as dictated by the voltage regulator. See Figure 2-1. The voltage recovery period of this type of generator is several times faster than the conventionally wound field brushless generator because the generator set does not have to contend with the inductance of the exciter field. The generator set also has better recovery characteristics than the static-excited machine because it is not dependent upon the generator set output voltage for excitation power. Possibly the greatest advantage of this type of machine is its inherent ability to support short-circuit current and allow system coordination for tripping downstream branch circuit breakers. The generator set systems deliver exciter current to the main field within 50 milliseconds (0.050 seconds) of a change in load demand.

2.2 Short Circuit Performance

When a short circuit occurs in the load circuit(s) being served, output voltage drops and amperage momentarily rises to 600--1000% of the generator sets rated current until removal of the short. The SCR assembly sends full exciter power to the main field. The generator then sustains up to 300% of its rated current. Sustained high current causes correspondingly rated load circuit fuses/breakers to trip. The safeguard breaker kit shuts down the excitation system in the event of a sustained heavy overload or short circuit.

Inspect the exhaust system components (exhaust manifold, mixing elbow, exhaust line, hose clamps, silencer, and exhaust outlet) for cracks, leaks, and corrosion.
D Check the hoses for softness, cracks, leaks, or dents.
Fuel Level. Check the fuel level and keep the tank(s) full to ensure adequate fuel supply. Oil Level. Maintain the oil level at or near, not over, the full mark on the dipstick. Operating Area. Check for obstructions that could block the flow of cooling air. Keep the air intake area clean. Do not leave rags, tools, or debris on or near the generator set. Seawater Pump Priming. Prime the seawater pump before initial startup. To prime the pump: (1) close the seacock, (2) remove the hose from the water-filter outlet, (3) fill the hose and seawater pump with clean water, (4) reconnect the hose to the water filter outlet, and (5) open the seacock. Confirm sea water pump operation on startup as indicated by water discharge from the exhaust outlet.

Controls and Indicators
Lamp test switch Low oil pressure lamp
The switch tests the controller indicator lamps. The lamp illuminates if the generator set shuts down because of low oil pressure. Shutdown occurs 5 seconds after the engine reaches oil pressure shutdown range. The lamp illuminates and cranking stops if the engine does not start after 45 seconds of continuous cranking or 75 seconds of cyclic cranking. The cranking stops and overcrank lamp lights after 15 seconds if the starter or engine does not turn (locked rotor). The overcrank lamp flashes if the speed sensor signal is absent longer than one second. NOTE: The generator set controllers automatic restart function attempts to restart the generator set if the engine speed drops below 13 Hz (390 rpm). Continued decreased engine speed causes an overcrank condition.
The following table describes the controls and indicators located on the controller.
Name AC ammeter Description The meter displays the AC output amperage. Use the selector switch to choose the phase current. The meter displays the AC output voltage. Use the selector switch to choose the output lead circuits. The meter displays the voltage of the starting battery(ies). The horn sounds if any fault or anticipatory condition exists. Place the generator set master switch in the AUTO position before silencing the horn. See the Controller Resetting Procedure later in this section. The switch disconnects the alarm during service (place the generator set master switch in the AUTO position before silencing the alarm horn). Restore the alarm horn switches at all locations (controller, remote annunciator, and audio/visual alarm) to normal positions after correcting the fault shutdown to avoid reactivating the alarm horn.

Starting the Generator Set

procedures describe starting the
The following descriptions define the possible auxiliary fault lamp conditions.
The following generator set.
Flashing Lamp Conditions

No AC Output. The auxiliary lamp flashes immediately if the controller senses no AC output while the generator set runs (except during the first 10 seconds after startup). The flashing stops and the light goes out when the controller senses AC output. The controller requires no manual reset. Low Battery Voltage. The auxiliary lamp flashes if the battery power was reconnected or was low and then restored while the generator set master switch was in the RUN or AUTO position. A possible cause is a temporary low battery condition when the battery is weak or undersized for the application. To clear the low battery voltage condition, place the generator set master switch in the OFF/RESET position.
Local Starting (Nonautomatic). Move the generator set master switch to the RUN position to start the generator set at the controller. Note: The alarm horn sounds whenever the generator set master switch is not in the AUTO position. Automatic (Auto) Starting. Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO position to allow startup by the automatic transfer switch or remote start/stop switch (connected to controller terminals TB1-3 and TB1-4). Note: The transient start/stop function of the Decision-Makert3+ controller prevents accidental cranking of the rotating engine. When the generator set master switch is momentarily placed in the OFF/RESET position, then quickly returned to RUN, the generator set slows to 249 rpm and then recranks before returning to rated speed. Note: The Decision-Makert 3+ controllers automatic restart function attempts to restart the generator set if the engine speed drops below 390 rpm (generator output frequency of 13 Hz). Continued decreased engine speed causes an overcrank fault condition.
Continuous-On Lamp Conditions

Emergency Stop Switch Energized. Upon activation of the emergency stop switch, if equipped, the auxiliary lamp lights and the generator set shuts down immediately. Emergency Stop Switch Reset. Resetting the optional emergency stop switch while the generator set master switch is in the AUTO or RUN position causes the auxiliary lamp to light. Place the generator set master switch in the OFF/RESET position to clear the auxiliary lamp ON condition. Note: Auxiliary Delay Shutdown. The auxiliary lamp lights and the engine shuts down 5 seconds after the high oil temperature (P1-13) or auxiliary delay shutdown (P1-15) fault, if equipped, occurs. Auxiliary Delay Shutdown is inhibited during the first 30 seconds after crank disconnect. Note: Overvoltage Shutdown. If a generator set is equipped with this kit, the auxiliary lamp lights and the engine shuts down immediately when an overvoltage condition occurs. Note: Auxiliary Immediate Shutdown. The auxiliary lamp lights and the engine shuts down immediately when any customer-supplied sensing devices connected to auxiliary immediate shutdown ports (P1-17 and P1-18) activate them.
x:op:005:004
Crank Mode Selection

The Decision-Makert3+ controller cranks continuously for up to 45 seconds or cyclically for up to 75 seconds (crank 15 seconds, rest 15 seconds, crank 15 seconds, etc.) before overcrank shutdown. Select the crank mode (cyclic or continuous) on the controller circuit board terminal strip. For cyclic cranking, leave circuit board terminal TB2-9 open. For continuous cranking, attach a jumper between circuit board terminal TB2-9A (ground) and terminal TB2-9.
2.7.5
Stopping the Generator Set
The following procedures describe stopping the generator set. Normal Stopping 1. Cooldown. Run the generator set at no load for 5 minutes to ensure adequate engine cooldown. 2. Stopping. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position. The engine stops.
10
Section 2 Operation
TP-5737 5/01
Note: The generator set continues running during a 5-minute cooldown cycle if a remote switch or automatic transfer switch signals the engine to stop. Emergency Stopping Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position or activate the remote emergency stop, if equipped, for immediate shutdown. The controller AUXILIARY lamp lights and the generator set shuts down on activation of the emergency stop switch. The remote annunciator and/or A/V alarms, if equipped, signal an emergency stop.
2.7.7
Fault Shutdowns
The generator set shuts down automatically under the following fault conditions and cannot be restarted until the fault condition is corrected. The system automatically resets when the problem is corrected or the generator set cools (if high engine temperature was the fault).
Name High engine temperature Description Shutdown occurs 5 seconds after the fault. The high engine temperature shutdown does not function during the first 5 seconds after startup. NOTE: The high temperature shutdown functions only when the coolant level is in the operating range. High exhaust temperature Shutdown occurs 5 seconds after the fault. The high exhaust temperature shutdown does not function during the first 5 seconds after startup. Shutdown occurs 5 seconds after fault. The low coolant level shutdown does not function during the first 5 seconds after startup. Shutdown occurs 5 seconds after the fault. The low oil pressure shutdown does not function during the first 5 seconds after startup. NOTE: The low oil pressure shutdown does not protect against low oil level. Check the engine oil level. Overcrank Shutdown occurs after 45 seconds of continuous cranking or 75 seconds of cyclic cranking (crank 15 seconds, rest 15 seconds, crank 15 seconds, etc.). Shutdown occurs immediately when governed frequency on 50 and 60 Hz models exceeds 70 Hz. The generator set shuts down and the auxiliary lamp lights when voltage is 15% or more over the nominal voltage for 2 seconds or longer. NOTE: Overvoltage can damage sensitive equipment in less than one second. Install separate overvoltage protection on on-line equipment requiring faster shutdown.
x:op:005:007
2.7.6
Prime Power Mode Operation
The Decision-Makert 3+ controller operates in either the normal mode or the prime power mode. In prime power mode, the controller draws less current, minimizing the battery drain. Consider using the prime power mode for installations that do not have a battery charger. Moving the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position disables all controller functions. Moving the generator set master switch to the AUTO position restores controller functions. Enabling and Disabling the Prime Power Mode. Enable the prime power mode by connecting jumpers across the following terminals on terminal strip TB2 on the controller circuit board:
D TB2-1P and TB2-2P D TB2-3P and TB2-4P D TB2-3 and TB2-4
Low coolant level (water-cooled engines only) Low oil pressure
See Figure 2-4. Remove the jumpers listed above to disable the prime power mode. Prime Power Starting. The prime power mode provides local starting only at the controller. When the generator set master switch is in the OFF/RESET position, the controller functions are inoperative. Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO position to start the generator set. Do not start the generator set with the master switch in the RUN position because the alarm horn sounds. Note: Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO position to return controller functions to normal. Prime Power Stopping. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position to stop the generator set and power down the controller.

5.4 FASTCHECK Features and Operation

The FASTCHECK serves as an engine simulator for testing and troubleshooting the microprocessor controller.
D BATT(battery) lamp: D Lights when the test battery(ies) or DC power
supply is live and properly connected Note: LOP, HWT, and OVERSPEED simulate malfunctions causing the engine to shut down. LOP and HWT circuits start timing after the engine has run for 30 seconds. The engine shutdown should occur 5 seconds after pushing the fault switch.
5.4.1
Features
The following paragraphs detail the FASTCHECK features. See Figure 5-27 for an illustration. The following engine switch positions simulate engine conditions:
D OFFlocked engine (starter energized but not
turning) D CRANKengine cranking, but not started D RUNengine running
Indicator Lamps:

5. Clip the red (+) and black (--) harness leads to a battery(ies) or DC power supply of proper voltage for the generator set (12 or 24 volts). Adjust the output voltage to 1-2 volts above battery voltage when using a DC power supply. See the BATT rating on the generator nameplate. Use the generator set battery(ies) if accessible and fully charged. Note: Observe the correct polarity when connecting FASTCHECK , otherwise circuit board damage occurs. Note: Because of the absence of AC output, the auxiliary lamp flashes during controller testing (on 16-light microprocessor controllers). The NOT-IN-AUTO lamp illuminates whenever the generator set master switch is not in the AUTO position on 16-light microprocessor controllers. 6. Move the generator set master switch to the RUN position. Move the FASTCHECK engine switch to the CRANK position. The FASTCHECK IGN, CRK, and REG lamps should light. The generator controller causes the engine to crank until the FASTCHECK switch is moved to the RUN position (or OVERCRANK shutdown appears on generator controller). 7. Move the FASTCHECK engine switch to the RUN position. CRK lamp should go out and REG and IGN lamps should stay on.
5.4.2
Application
Use the FASTCHECK to test the microprocessor controller on the generator set when troubleshooting startup problems or to test and troubleshoot the controller when removed from the generator set. To operate the FASTCHECK the following equipment is required:
D FASTCHECK
simulator (B-291930) and harness
(255915).
D Variable low-voltage DC power supply; 0--30 volt,
3 amp minimum current, 0.5% maximum output voltage ripple at 30 volts DC. A 12- or 24-volt battery (depending on system voltage) can also be used to operate the FASTCHECK .
5.4.3
Connect/Operate Procedure
Use the following procedure to connect/operate the FASTCHECK tester. Procedures to test the overcrank circuitry, speed sensor circuitry, and generator condition indicators are described later in this section. 1. Unplug the DC engine harness from the DC harness connector (P1). See Figure 5-28. 2. Connect the FASTCHECK harness to the DC harness connector (P1) and to the top of the FASTCHECK . 3. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position.

TP-5737 5/01
8. Simulate engine malfunctions by pressing FASTCHECK fault switches. The corresponding fault lamp on the controller should light during each simulated engine malfunction. Note: Leave the FASTCHECK engine switch in the RUN position for at least 30 seconds before pushing toggle switches. Toggle the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position and the FASTCHECK engine switch to the OFF position, then back to the RUN position after simulated fault shutdowns.
5.4.5
Controller Speed Sensor Circuitry
To check the controllers ability to respond to signals from the speed sensor, perform the following test: Speed Sensor Circuitry Test Procedure 1. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position. 2. Move the FASTCHECK engine switch to the OFF position. 3. Move the generator set master switch to the RUN position. Observe the IGN, CRK, and REG lamps light. 4. Within 5 seconds, move the FASTCHECK engine switch to the RUN position. 5. If the FASTCHECK CRK lamp goes out, the controller speed sensor circuitry is functioning correctly.
5.4.4
Overcrank
Use the following procedure to test the controllers ability to detect a locked engine and to stop a startup attempt if the starter locks or does not engage. Overcrank Circuitry Test Procedure 1. Move the FASTCHECK engine switch to the OFF position. 2. Move the generator set master switch to the OFF position and then move the switch to the RUN position. 3. IGN, CRK, and REG lamps on FASTCHECK should light for approximately 5 seconds and then go out. Five seconds later, the IGN, CRK, and REG lamps should relight for 5 seconds before going out again (15 seconds total elapsed time). The controller OVERCRANK lamp lights. Check for operating voltage between TB1-42A (+) and TB1-12 (--). 4. This test verifies the proper operation of the engine overcrank circuit. If the OVERCRANK shutdown fails to function, check the speed sensor and related circuitry. See Section 5.4.5, Controller Speed Sensor Circuitry, and Section 7.10, Speed Sensor Test.
TP-5737 5/01

5.4.6
Generator Condition Indicator Terminal (TB1 Terminal Strip)
Remote accessories (audiovisual alarm, remote annunciator, dry contact kits, etc.) may be connected to the controller TB1 terminal strip to signal the condition of the generator set. Some generator sets may not be equipped with the optional sending devices necessary to operate all generator condition indicators. If the remote accessories do not operate, test for output voltage at the TB1 terminal strip. To test the operation of each indicator, move the generator set master switch and FASTCHECK toggle in the position prescribed. Test point voltage is slightly less than the voltage being supplied to the controller (12 or 24 volts). If correct voltage is not detected at the test point, remote accessories (audiovisual alarm, remote annunciator, dry contact kits, etc.) do not function. Test point connections are shown in Figure 5-29 and Figure 5-30. Note: When checking controller test point voltage, place the negative (--) lead of the voltmeter on the terminal designated in Figure 5-30 and the voltmeter positive (+) lead on TB1-42A.

Note: Because of the absence of AC output, the auxiliary lamp flashes during the controller testing on 16-light microprocessor controllers. The NOT-IN-AUTO lamp illuminates whenever the generator set master switch is not in the AUTO position on 16-light microprocessor controllers. Note: Leave the FASTCHECK engine switch in the RUN position for at least 30 seconds before pushing the toggle switches. Toggle the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position. Move the FASTCHECK engine switch to the OFF position. Move the generator set master switch to the RUN position. Observe IGN, CRK, and REG lamps light.

A change in the circuit board affects the function of some relays. Circuit board E-254717 has four internal relays with an external K5 relay for engine run components. Circuit board F-254717 has five relays with an external K10 relay for engine run components. The fifth relay designated K5 latches the fault lamp during fault shutdown when in the auto/remote start mode. Although the circuit boards are similar, the changes relating to K5/K10 alter the troubleshooting information.

7.3 LED Circuit Board Test

The following procedure provides testing information for the LED circuit board. Certain steps require that the generator set be running. While the generator set is not running, disable the generator set. See the following safety precautions. Disconnect all load from the generator set during this test.
Overvoltage Test Procedure Note: If overvoltage occurs, disconnect the harness plug at the voltage regulator. If overvoltage continues, the problem lies in the photo transistor circuit and/or SCR assembly; proceed through the following troubleshooting steps. If output voltage disappears, the problem is in the AVR, including connections and/or wiring. 1. Remove the LED board and cover. 2. Examine the photo transistor board for visible signs of damage (open foil patterns or heat discoloration). Replace the photo transistor board if it is visibly damaged. If overvoltage continues after replacement of the photo transistor board, proceed to step 3. 3. Remove the green (center) lead from the G terminal and the red lead from the F+ terminal of the SCR assembly. Tape each terminal end of leads to prevent contact with adjacent metal components. 4. With the safeguard breaker open, start the generator set. The lack of AC output indicates the SCR assembly is functioning properly. If overvoltage continues, replace the SCR assembly. Note: When replacing the SCR assembly do not exceed a torque value of 0.9 Nm (8 in. lbs.) when tightening the SCR mounting bolts. 5. If overvoltage is evident with the safeguard breaker closed, check for an open circuit in leads V7 and V8 to the AVR. If these circuits are open or shorted, repair or replace. Check the voltage rheostat circuit (leads 67 and 68). Repair or replace as necessary. 6. If all the circuits described in step 5 are functioning, check the AVR as described in Section 7.5.
WARNING
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Moving rotor. Can cause severe injury or death. Operate the generator set only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place. Disconnecting the electrical load. Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or death. Disconnect the generator set from the load by opening the line circuit breaker or by disconnecting the generator set output leads from the transfer switch and heavily taping the ends of the leads. High voltage transferred to the load during testing may cause personal injury and equipment damage. Do not use the safeguard circuit breaker in place of the line circuit breaker. The safeguard circuit breaker does not disconnect the generator set from the load.
7.2.3
Fluctuating Voltage
Fluctuating Voltage Test Procedure 1. Check the generator output leads for proper connections. See Section 9, Wiring Diagrams. 2. Check for loose connections to the AVR, LED board, photo transistor board, or SCR assembly. 3. Check the stator for shorted or open windings; See Section 7.6, Stator. 4. Verify the AVR adjustment. See Section 7.5, Automatic Voltage Regulator Operation and Adjustment.

TP-5737 5/01
Testing the photo transistor circuit board. Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or death. When the end cover is removed, do not expose the photo transistor circuit board mounted on the generator set end bracket to any external light source, as exposure to light causes high voltage. Keep foreign sources of light away from the photo transistor circuit board during testing. Place black electrical tape over the LED on the circuit board before starting the generator set.
4. With the generator set running, observe approximately 1--2 volts DC at 3B (+) and 5B (--) at the LED board. See Figure 7-7. Shine the flashlight on the photo transistor. DC voltage reading should drop, showing the AVR is functioning properly. If voltages are not observed, refer to the AVR test. 5. Stop the generator set.
LED Circuit Board Test 1. Remove the junction box panels from the generator end of the unit and remove the photo transistor board/LED board cover. See Figure 7-5. 2. With the generator set running at no load, shine a flashlight on the exposed photo transistor board. See Figure 7-6. 3. Observe the AC output voltmeter. The AC output voltage should be high. Switch the flashlight off or turn it away from the rotating photo transistor board. The AC output voltage should be low. If these conditions exist (high voltage while the photo transistor board is illuminated and low voltage while the photo transistor board is dark), then the photo transistor board and SCR assembly are functioning properly. The fault is likely in the wiring, AVR, or LED circuit board. If the generator does not respond this way to the flashlight test, the fault is probably in the photo transistor board (PCB assembly) or the SCR assembly. Proceed to the tests for these items.

7.4 SCR Assembly and Photo Transistor Board

7.4.1 Concept and Equipment
Testing the SCR assembly and photo transistor board requires the following components:
D Light bulb with socket, one 120-volt/110-watt. D Switch, double-pole/single-throw (DPST), 120-volt
The SCR assembly mounts behind the exciter armature and controls current flow to the generator field. The command and sensing circuitry mounts on the shaft-mounted photo transistor board. See Figure 7-8. The generator set only functions if both components are functional. The following test determines which component is faulty. Because the end bracket must be removed from the set to correctly test these components, do not begin this procedure unless there is reasonable certainty that these components are inoperative. See Section 7.1, Generator Troubleshooting. Examine the photo transistor board for visible signs of damage (open foil patterns and heat discoloration) before removing the entire SCR assembly for testing. See Section 7.9, End Bracket Removal and Replacement, and Section 8, Disassembly/ Reassembly, for end bracket removal.

SCR Assembly and Photo Transistor Board Test
This test simulates the normal operation of the components when the generator is running. In the test, a known working component (example: photo transistor board) is matched with a component of unknown quality (example: SCR assembly). If the components do not function normally during the test, the component of unknown quality may be inoperative. Test either component in this manner.

WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Moving rotor. Can cause severe injury or death. Operate the generator set only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place. Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or death. Carefully follow instructions in the equipment manual when testing or servicing generator set in the presence of voltage. Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible whenever electricity is present. Open the main circuit breakers of all power sources before servicing the equipment. Configure the installation to electrically ground the generator set, transfer switch, and related equipment and electrical circuits to comply with applicable codes and standards. Never contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet ground because these conditions increase the risk of electrocution.
4. Shield the photo transistor board from all other light sources during this test. Direct the test light to the photo transistor board. If both components are working, the test fixture light bulb lights when the external light source is applied to the photo transistor board. Remove the light source; the fixture light bulb should go out. If the test fixture light bulb does not light or is lit prior to receiving the external light source, the tested component is inoperative (in this example the SCR). Replace the SCR assembly. Note: When replacing the SCR assembly, do not exceed a torque value of 0.9 Nm (8 in. lbs.) when tightening the SCR mounting bolts.

7.5 Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Operation and Adjustment

The AVR monitors output voltage amplitude and frequency to supply current to the stationary LED board. The AVR circuit board includes volts/Hz and stability adjustment potentiometers. The factory sets the volts/Hz adjustment and normally requires no further adjustment. If replacement of the controller circuit board or operation of the generator under extreme loads results in voltage instability, adjust the potentiometers according to the procedure following. See Figure 7-10.
4. Start the generator set. With the generator running at no load, observe light bulb flicker. Excessive light bulb flicker indicates poor stability. 5. Adjust the stability potentiometer until minimum flicker is obtained. 6. Use the controller voltage adjustment potentiometer (or remote voltage adjustment potentiometer) to make adjustments to the generator while running under normal load, if required. 7. Adjust the engine speed to the desired cut-in frequency. Factory setting is 57.5--58.0 Hz for 60 Hz models or 47.5--48.0 Hz for 50 Hz models as measured on the frequency meter. See Section 7.14, Governor Adjustment, for more information on engine adjustment. 8. Rotate the Volts/Hz adjustment potentiometer counterclockwise until the voltage level begins to drop (as measured on the voltmeter). When set to these specifications, the generator attempts to maintain normal output until the engine speed drops below the frequency set in the previous step (as load is applied). 9. Adjust the engine speed to the appropriate operating point. See Section 7.14. 10. Use the controller voltage adjustment potentiometer (or remote voltage adjustment potentiometer) to make final adjustments to the generator while running under normal load. 11. Readjust the stability potentiometer, if necessary. 12. Check the AVRs function by reducing the engine speed (Hz) and watching for a corresponding drop in AC voltage. At 60 Hz operation, AC voltage remains constant until the engine speed drops below 58 Hz (approximately). If AC frequency drops below 58 Hz, AC voltage declines. At 50 Hz operation, AC voltage remains constant until the engine speed drops to 48 Hz (approximately). If AC frequency drops below 48 Hz, AC voltage declines. If the AVR does not function as described above, refer to the following test for the cause of the malfunction.

Voltage Regulator Test 1. Close the safeguard breaker, if equipped. 2. Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the voltage regulator and check for continuity between the voltage sensing leads V7 and V8 (pins 4 and 10). See Figure 7-11. If the circuit between V7 and V8 is open, repair or replace it. An open circuit normally results in a high voltage or overvoltage condition. 3. Check the 15-amp fuse, if equipped. 4. If continuity exists between V7 and V8, check for continuity in the voltage adjustment circuit (leads 67 and 68). Disconnect the voltage regulator harness plug and check for resistance between pins 1 and 3. Measured resistance should change as the voltage adjust rheostat is turned. Repair or replace inoperative components as necessary. Note: An inoperative voltage adjust rheostat usually results in a nonadjustable voltage. 5. Check the 15-amp fuse, if equipped, inside the controller. If this circuit is open, repair or replace the inoperative components and/or wiring. 6. Check for battery voltage at the voltage regulator harness plug (pins 2 and 11) with the generator set running. If there is no battery voltage between pins 2 and 11, check the safeguard circuit breaker. Note: Lack of battery voltage to the voltage regulator usually results in very low voltage at the main output leads. 7. While the generator set is running, check for approximately 1--2 volts DC output between terminals 3B (+) and 5B (--) on the LED board or disconnect the 3B/5B connector at the LED board and check for 8 volts DC (approximately) at the connector. If there is no DC voltage output present between 3B and 5B, check for an open or short circuit in the wiring back to the voltage regulator. If a fault exists in the voltage regulator wiring, repair or replace as necessary. If the voltage regulator wiring appears functional, replace the voltage regulator. Note: Low or no voltage at the LED circuit board may cause a low output voltage fault.

7.6 Stator
Note: When replacing the rotor or stator, use a skewed (slanted) rotor with a straight stator per original manufacturer. Stator Test Procedure 1. Check the generator output leads for proper connections. See Section 9, Wiring Diagrams. 2. Check the stator windings for: a. Shorted windings: Replace the stator if burnt or hot windings exist. See Figure 7-12. Note: Disconnect V7, V8, V9, and V0 leads at the controller AC fuse terminal blocks before performing the open winding test. b. Open windings: With an ohmmeter, check each pair of leads for low resistance readings (continuity). High resistance across A or low resistance (continuity) across B and ground indicates a faulty stator; if so, replace the stator. See Figure 7-13.

7.10 Speed Sensor Test

The following procedure determines if the speed sensor (overspeed fault) is emitting a signal. Speed Sensor Signal Test 1. With the generator set master switch in the OFF/RESET position, connect a DC voltmeter between the positive (+) lead (wire 24) at the speed sensor and the ground (wire 2). The voltmeter should indicate approximately 8--10 volts DC. 2. With the generator set running, connect the DC voltmeter negative probe to the 0 terminal (wire 16white) on the speed sensor. Place the voltmeter positive probe on the positive (+) terminal (wire 24red). The voltmeter should indicate approximately 12 volts DC. Note: During the test the controller leads must remain connected to the speed sensor terminals. Slide the leads from the speed sensor terminals only enough to expose the connection for the test leads. Do not disconnect the leads. If the speed sensor emits a signal, check the continuity of the speed sensor leads (wires 2, 16, and 24) between the controller P1 connector and the lead terminals at the speed sensor. If the speed sensor does not emit a signal, test the speed sensor through the following procedure. Speed Sensor Test 1. Connect the speed sensor, voltmeter, and DC voltage source as shown in Figure 7-19.

2. Touch the sensing surface with a flat piece of iron or steel at least 4.1 cm (1/4 cubic inch) in size. The voltmeter test reading should equal the source voltage. 3. Remove the iron or steel from the sensing surface. Observe no test voltmeter reading.
7.11 Current Transformers

7.11.1 Function and Application
Current transformers provide several generator set functions including signal/drive for:
D Controller AC voltmeter/ammeter D Safeguard circuit breaker D Reactive droop compensator.
Generator set models do not have current transformers when they do not include the above items. The meters and safeguard circuit breaker share the same current transformer while the reactive droop compensator uses a separate current transformer. See Figure 7-20. The generator set junction box contains the stator leads and the current transformers. When replacing the current transformer or stator assembly, install the current transformer according to the generator reconnection decal on the generator set, or see Section 9, Wiring Diagrams. Observe the correct current transformer position when installing the stator leads. The current transformer dot or HI mark position and the stator lead direction are essential for correct component function.

WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Moving rotor. Can cause severe injury or death. Operate the generator set only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place. Short circuits. Hazardous voltage/current can cause severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily injury and/or equipment damage. Do not contact electrical connections with tools or jewelry while making adjustments or repairs. Remove all jewelry before servicing the equipment.
7.12.2 Reactive Droop Compensator Adjustment Procedure

Parallel the two generator sets using the following procedure. Read and understand the entire procedure before beginning.
TT-1123/347058-D
Figure 7-20 Current Transformers A current transformer contains a coil of wire that induces a secondary voltage/current from the primary or stator lead passing through the center. The number of coil turns inside the current transformer determines the ratio. Replacement current transformers must have the same ratio as the original.
1. Remove any load connected to the generator set. Start each generator set by placing the generator set master switch in the RUN position. 2. Set the reactive droop compensator rheostat on generator set no. 1 to the minimum counterclockwise (CCW) setting. Record the RPM or frequency and voltage at 1/4 load steps to full load on unit no. 1 3. Repeat step 2 for generator set no. 2.
7.11.2 Testing
Use an ohmmeter to check the current transformer. Perform this test with the current transformer disconnected from the generator set. A resistance reading of infinity or 0 ohms suggests an open or shorted current transformer that needs replacement. Consider any other resistance reading acceptable.
4. Compare the readings and make final adjustments so that the voltage is within 1 volt at each load step and the speed is within three RPM or the frequency is within 0.1 Hz for each unit. Adjust the voltage using the controller or remote voltage adjustment potentiometer. Adjust the speed at the electronic governor or at the remote adjusting potentiometer. 5. Check the droop compensation on each unit as follows: a. With unit no. 1 operating at the desired speed and voltage, apply an inductive load one half to full load. Do not use a resistive load for this test. b. Observe the voltmeter on unit no. 1 with the reactive droop compensator rheostat set at minimum. As the rheostat is turned clockwise (CW), the voltmeter should show a decrease in voltage. If observing a larger voltage, stop the
7.12 Reactive Droop Compensator

7.12.1 Function and Application
The reactive droop compensator kit distributes the generator set load evenly between two generator sets in parallel. If the kit is not factory installed, use the installation instructions supplied with the kit for field installation. Use the following procedure for reactive droop compensator adjustment.
74
TP-5737 5/01
generator sets and reverse the direction of the generator load line through the current transformer or reverse the transformer leads on unit no. 1. c. Restart the generator sets and recheck the droop on unit no. 1. d. Set the reactive droop compensator rheostat to a value at approximately 4% below rated voltage at full load. As an example, the voltage droops (decreases) 19.2 volts on a 480-volt system at full load or 9.6 volts at one half load. Use the following formula for loads other than full load: Rated Voltage x 0.04 x Actual Load (expressed as a % of full load) = Voltage Droop Note: With full load 0.8 power factor, a droop of 3--5% should be adequate for paralleling. 6. Repeat step 5 for generator set no. 2. Adjust unit no. 2 where the voltage droop is equal and at the same point as on unit no. 1. The two units share reactive currents proportionately after correctly performing this procedure. 7. If reactive load is not available, go to Section 7.12.3, Reactive Droop Compensator Alternate Adjustment Procedure. If reactive load is available, go to Section 7.12.4, Testing.
6. Apply resistive load (1.0 power factor) until reaching rated current. 7. Adjust the reactive droop compensator rheostat to achieve a 4% droop (decrease) in voltage. 8. Remove the resistive load. 9. Stop the generator set by placing the generator master switch in the OFF position. 10. Return the voltage sensing lead from V9 to V7 at the AC fuse terminal block. 11. Replace the controller cover. 12. Repeat steps 1--11 for generator set no. 2.
7.12.4 Testing
Use the following procedure to check that the generator sets share the reactive load proportionately. 1. Parallel the units at one half to full load. Verify that each unit carries equal kW load or a load proportional to its capacity using the wattmeter readings. If load unbalance exists, adjust and recheck the electronic governor throttle control to correctly balance loading. Engine speed determines load sharing ability. 2. With the load balanced, check the ammeters for equal current or proportional according to capacity. If the currents are incorrect, adjust the reactive droop compensator rheostat reducing the current of the unit with the highest reading. Reduce the current to an equal division or proportionately. 3. Stop each generator set by placing the generator master switch in the OFF position. Note: Step 1 balances the load using the electronic governor and step 2 balances the current using the reactive droop compensator. Consider these settings optimum for parallel operation. Note: Voltage must droop (decrease) on lagging power factor loads (inductive loads). A small change in voltage is acceptable on unity power factor loads (resistive loads).
7.12.3 Reactive Droop Compensator Alternate Adjustment Procedure

Initially calibrate each generator set using the following procedure. 1. Turn the reactive droop compensator rheostat on generator set no. 1 to the minimum setting. 2. Remove the controller cover. Move the voltage sensing lead from V7 to V9 at the AC fuse terminal block. 3. Remove any load connected to the generator set. 4. Start the generator set by placing the generator master switch in the RUN position. 5. Use the controller or remote voltage adjusting potentiometer on each generator set to fine adjust voltage as necessary.

7.13 Gauge Senders

The resistance of the oil pressure and water temperature sender output signals varies as the respective pressure and temperature change. Use the resistance change for verification of sender function. Disconnect all leads from the sender before checking resistance. If the sender functions and the gauge does not function, check the engine wiring harness, leads, and connectors before replacing the gauge. Note: Some generator sets may have senders/ switches incorporated with the engine ECM (electronic control module). Identify engine ECM senders/switches by lead designations listed in the following testing information. Refer to Section 9, Wiring Diagrams for additional lead identification information. Use the engine service manual for troubleshooting ECM senders/switches.

7.14 Governor Adjustment

7.14.1 Mechanical Governor
Note: Before checking and adjusting engine speed, make sure the engine reaches its normal operating temperature. Note: All speed specs apply to an engine at operating temperature under load conditions. The maximum permissible speed variation is 2--3 Hz or 50--90 rpm for fast idle speed. Mechanical Governor Adjustment Procedure 1. Disconnect the speed control from the fuel injection pump lever and start the engine. 2. Verify that the injector pump lever holds in the fast idle position against the fast idle adjusting screw. See Figure 7-23. 3. Using a frequency meter, check the engine speed. Adjust the engine speed at full load to 1800 rpm (60 Hz) or 1500 rpm (50 Hz). To increase the engine speed, turn the fast idle adjusting screw counterclockwise; turn the fast idle adjusting screw clockwise to decrease engine speed. 4. Reconnect the speed control to the fuel injection pump lever. 5. Stop the generator set.

Some sets are equipped with Barber-Colman Dyna 2500 electronic governors. Because this is an electronic device, no mechanical drive or hydraulic connection is required. The system consists of a magnetic pickup, an electronic control unit, and an actuator. The magnetic pickup monitors engine speed and transmits this information to the electronic control unit (see Figure 7-24 or Figure 7-25). The electronic control unit interprets the signal from the magnetic pickup to control current input to the throttle actuator. The throttle actuator adjusts the throttle position on the engine. See Figure 7-26.

Preliminary Adjustment Procedure 1. Place the generator set master switch in the OFF position. Do not run the generator set. 2. Set the control unit I adjustment one division from zero, the D adjustment four divisions from zero, and the gain adjustment at the third division from zero. 3. For isochronous operation, turn the droop adjustment potentiometer counterclockwise (CCW) to the minimum position. For droop operation, turn the droop potentiometer to the desired droop. Droop adjustment may be necessary with parallel generator operation. Note: If the governor uses the full stroke of the actuator shaft and the linkage adjustment uses only the active fuel range, the maximum obtainable droop would be approximately 12% at full load. 4. Position the actuator lever to hold the fuel pump lever in the STOP position when the power is off. Adjust the actuator linkage for smooth, non-binding operation. Final Adjustment Procedure 1. Place the generator set master switch in the RUN or TEST position to start the generator set. 2. Adjust the control unit speed potentiometer until the engine operates at the desired rpm (50 or 60 Hz on the frequency meter). 3. If governing is unstable, turn the I and gain potentiometers slightly CCW. Note: Except for the speed potentiometer, control unit potentiometers have internal stops at 0 and 100%.
4. With the engine running at no load, finalize the I, D, and gain adjustments. 5. Slowly turn the gain adjustment potentiometer clockwise (CW) until the output shaft and linkage oscillates. Slowly turn the gain adjustment potentiometer CCW until the actuator lever stabilizes. 6. Jog the actuator lever by hand. If the actuator lever oscillates three to five times and then stabilizes, the gain setting is correct. 7. Turn the gain potentiometer one division CCW. 8. Turn the D adjustment fully CW while observing the actuator shaft. If the lever does not become unstable, jog it by hand. When the lever oscillates, turn the D adjustment CCW slowly until the actuator shaft stabilizes. Jog the lever again, it should oscillate 3--5 times and then become stable. If the system response to load changes is satisfactory at this point, omit step 9 and proceed to step 10. 9. Turn the I potentiometer fully CW and watch the actuator shaft. If the actuator lever does not become unstable, jog it by hand. When the actuator lever slowly oscillates, slowly turn the I potentiometer CCW until the lever stabilizes. 10. Jog the actuator lever by hand. It should oscillate 3--5 times before stabilizing. The governor is now calibrated. 11. Stop the generator set.

7.14.3 Electronic Governor, Barber-Colman Dyna 70025 using Stanadyne D Series Injection Pump 35-99 kW John Deere Engine-Powered 4045 and 6068
Some sets are equipped with Barber-Colman Dyna 70025 electronic governor used in conjunction with a Stanadyne D Series injection pump. This particular setup uses different governor controllers for a nonparalleling generator set or a paralleling generator set. The system consists of a magnetic pickup, an electronic control unit, and an actuator. The magnetic pickup monitors engine speed and transmits this information to the electronic control unit.
See Figure 7-28 for nonparalleling generator sets or Figure 7-29 for paralleling generator sets. The electronic control unit interprets the signal from the magnetic pickup to control the current input to the throttle actuator.

Actuator Calibration Procedure

Use the following procedure to set up the mechanical governor for operation with the electronic integrated actuator. Perform calibration of both the mechanical and electronic governor in order for the system to operate correctly. Lack of maximum power or poor steady state speed control results from incorrect calibration. See Figure 7-30. Note: The factory actuator calibration procedure requires no additional adjustment. Perform the actuator calibration procedure only if removal of the fuel injection pump occurs or the adjustment is questionable. Do not perform this procedure unless it is deemed necessary. 1. Turn the shutoff shaft assembly in the fuel injection pump clockwise to the on position. The shutoff shaft assembly is the lever located on the backside of the fuel injection pump. Secure using existing mechanical linkage. 2. Place the throttle shaft assembly in the high idle position. Back out the low idle adjustment screw a maximum of three turns. Excessive backing out of the low idle screw results in the disengagement of the pumps internal components.
Note: Gain potentiometer has internal stops at 0 and 100%. 4. With the engine running at no load, finalize the gain adjustment. Turn the gain adjustment clockwise until the output shaft and linkage stabilizes. Upset the linkage by hand. If the linkage oscillates 3--5 times and then stops, the setting is correct. 5. Stop the generator set.

Governor Calibration for Paralleling Generator Sets

Calibration Procedure 1. Place the generator set master switch in the OFF position. Do not run the generator set. 2. Set the gain potentiometer at 30% and turn the droop potentiometer completely counterclockwise. 3. Turning the 20-turn potentiometer clockwise increases idle speed and turning it counterclockwise decreases idle speed. 4. Turning the 20-turn potentiometer clockwise increases run speed and turning it counterclockwise decreases run speed. 5. Place the generator set master switch in the RUN or TEST position to start the generator set. 6. Slowly turn the gain potentiometer clockwise until the engine becomes unstable. After the engine becomes unstable, slowly turn the gain potentiometer counterclockwise until stable. Interrupt the governor by momentarily removing power from the governor. The engine should recover in 3--5 seconds with diminishing oscillation. 7. Stop the generator set.
Droop Adjustment Procedure 1. Place the generator set master switch in the RUN or TEST position to start the generator set. 2. Use the run speed potentiometer to set the engine rpm to the desired no load speed (frequency) on the frequency meter. 3. Apply full load to the generator set. 4. While observing the frequency meter, slowly turn the droop potentiometer clockwise to the desired droop percentage. 5. Remove full load from the generator set. 6. Using the run speed potentiometer, readjust the engine rpm to the desired no load speed (frequency) on the frequency meter. 7. Stop the generator set.

Note: Position the current transformers with the dot or HI side CT mark toward the generator set. Some generator sets have no current transformers. Note: Phase Rotation: A = L1, B = L2, and C = L3. Note: All 12-lead generator sets are reconnectable. The 6-lead, 600-volt generator set is not reconnectable. Some specially wound stators made for a single voltage are also not reconnectable. Note: (600-volt models only) Use 1 turn of the output lead through the current transformer on 6-lead, 600-volt stators. Some stators may have two turns of the output lead through the current transformer. Continue using the original factory two-turn current transformer wiring system.

Frequency Adjustment
Set the voltage regulator circuit board for either 50 or 60 Hz application. See Figure 9-25. Connect a jumper between terminals T1 and T2 for 60 Hz operation. Connect a jumper between terminals T1 and T3 to convert voltage regulator circuit board to 50 Hz application. This procedure changes the voltage regulator circuit board for the desired frequency. See Frequency Adjustment for changing generator set frequency and speed.
Check the frequency meter for a no-load reading of 63 Hz for 60 Hz operation and 53 Hz for 50 Hz operation to determine correct frequency operation. Check for 50 and 60 Hz operation at no load if the generator set is equipped with an isochronous governor. Connect a frequency meter across V0 and V7 on the control board terminal strip (generator set must not be running while making connections) if the controller is not equipped with a frequency meter. Refer to Figure 9-26. To adjust governor speed, refer to Section 7, Component Testing and Adjustment, Governors.

Appendix B Common Hardware Application Guidelines

Use the information below and on the following pages to identify proper fastening techniques when no specific reference for reassembly is made. Bolt/Screw Length: When bolt/screw length is not given, use Figure 1 as a guide. As a general rule, a minimum length of one thread beyond the nut and a maximum length of 1/2 the bolt/screw diameter beyond the nut is the preferred method. Washers and Nuts: Use split lock washers as a bolt locking device where specified. Use SAE flat washers with whiz nuts, spiralock nuts, or standard nuts and preloading (torque) of the bolt in all other applications. See Appendix C, General Torque Specifications, and other torque specifications in the service literature. Steps for common hardware application: 1. Determine entry hole type: round or slotted. 2. Determine exit hole type: fixed female thread (weld nut), round, or slotted. For round and slotted exit holes, determine if hardware is greater than 1/2 inch in diameter, or 1/2 inch in diameter or less. Hardware that is greater than 1/2 inch in diameter takes a standard nut and SAE washer. Hardware 1/2 inch or less in diameter can take a properly torqued whiz nut or spiralock nut. See Figure 2. 3. Follow these SAE washer rules after determining exit hole type: a. Always use a washer between hardware and a slot. b. Always use a washer under a nut (see 2 above for exception). c. Use a washer under a bolt when the female thread is fixed (weld nut). 4. Refer to Figure 2, which depicts the preceding hardware configuration possibilities. Unacceptable Nut/Bolt Clearance
