Chapter 1.
General Information
The ST-125 Control System consists of a separate actuator and control. The
actuator is a bi-directional actuator designed specifically for the Stanadyne DB-4
Series diesel fuel injection pumps. The control can be mounted in a cabinet or to
the skid, but, in either case, the control must be protected from water and
excessive dirt. The ST-125 Speed Control is designed for applications where a
constant speed must be maintained.
The Start Fuel Limiting allows a setting for the maximum fuel in the Stanadyne
pump on initial start-up to reduce “black smoke” starts. This maximum position
remains in effect until the engine reaches rated speed. This limit can be disabled
if desired.
Since the ST-125 Actuator mounts in the same location as the throttle lever and
shaft assembly, the original shutdown solenoid is retained.
The ST-125 Actuator incorporates position feedback that provides accurate and
quick response.
There are two methods of engine shutdown provided with the ST-125 system.
Along with the above mentioned retention of the shutdown solenoid, a second
method is provided by means of the Run/Stop feature. A user-supplied switch
connected to the Run/Stop wire is an effective means to drive the Stanadyne
pump to minimum fuel and provide an immediate shutdown, but it should not be
used as an emergency method for shutdown.
Declaration of Incorporation

13. Install the new spring and guide stud assembly (Woodward kit 8934-636).
a. The wire that crosses the center of the spring should be placed between the
fingers on the lever. Install the spring seat into the open end of the spring.
b. Thread the locknut and o-ring onto the guide stud slightly so only two or
three threads are exposed behind the nut. This is to provide clearance for
the nut and stud during installation into the pump.
c. Install the guide stud by turning it into the pump until only one to two threads
are exposed between the locknut and the head of the guide stud. Tighten
the locknut against the side of the fuel pump to prevent fuel leakage.
b. Partially insert the ST-125 Actuator into the pump bushing. Place the
retaining collar over the shaft with the clamping screw boss on the cam slot
side of the shaft. Slide the actuator and collar into place.
6 Woodward
Manual 04185 Preparation of Stanadyne Fuel Pump
c. Hold the actuator solidly against the pump housing bushing by squeezing
the actuator and collar together to remove end play. Press directly behind
the bushing—not on the free end of the actuator. A maximum of 0.05 mm
(0.002 inch) axial end play is allowed, but zero end play is preferred. Torque
the 6-32 screw to 1.0 to 1.4 N·m (9 to 13 lb-in). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
15. With the actuator fully inserted, insert the grooved o-ring (#10/red o-ring)
plug (from kit 8934-636) into the shutdown shaft bushing.
16. Insert the shutoff cam (from kit 8934-636) into the slot on the actuator shaft,
making sure it engages the groove on the grooved o-ring plug, and that the
roller engages the metering valve linkage. Check for free operation of the
metering valve linkage and actuator shaft.
17. Reassemble the pump cover by rotating the actuator so the cover clears the
actuator mounting tang, then rotate the actuator back so the tang sits on top
of the mounting hole.
NOTE
Press the shutdown lever back during assembly to assure it correctly
engages the metering valve linkage.
Woodward 7
Preparation of Stanadyne Fuel Pump Manual 04185
Use a new cover gasket, cover screws, and both lock and flat washers.
NOTE
Do not load the end of the actuator against the pump when tightening the
cover screw. This will cause the actuator shaft to bind.
18. Wiring and connectors between the actuator and the speed control are
customer supplied. Match the wire colors from the actuator to the speed
control.

Chapter 3.
ST-125™ Installation and Calibration
The ST-125 Control is equipped with an AMP 15-pin PC-mounted connector that
accepts mating connector:
AMP 15-socket plug part number 172171-1
AMP socket contact part number 171639-1
(0.5–1.5 mm² [20–16 AWG])
Mount the control on the skid or to a control panel that is enclosed so that the
control is protected from the weather. Cable lengths between the ST-125
actuator and control, and the distance between the control and battery, should
not exceed 6 m (20 feet). Mount the control in a location allowing space for
potentiometer adjustment. Do not expose the control to sources of radiant heat
such as exhaust manifolds or turbochargers. The speed control is designed to
operate within a temperature range of –40 to +70 °C (–40 to +158 °F). Also,
choose a protected location so the control will not be damaged when moving the
engine/generator set or when equipment is moving nearby.
All wires from the actuator must be terminated to the control with their respective
matching color codes (see the wiring diagram, Figure 3-2).
If the Run/Stop option is not used, tie pin 11 (green wire) to the battery (+). The
control is in the Run mode when pin 11 is connected to the battery (+). If the
Run/Stop feature is used, the control drives the actuator and respective fuel
pump to minimum fuel when pin 11 is disconnected from the battery (+) or
connected to the battery (–). After six to ten seconds, the power to the actuator is
shut off (allowing pump to go to max fuel) to prevent unnecessary power drain
while the engine is off.
Install the magnetic pickup (MPU) through a housing or rigid bracket. Make sure
the sensed gear is of a magnetically soft material (a typical non-stainless steel).
The gap between the pickup and the outside diameter of the gear should be set
between 0.25 and 1.00 mm (0.010 and 0.040 inch) at the closest point (allow for
radial runout).
Woodward 9
Preparation of Stanadyne Fuel Pump Manual 04185
Using the desired rated engine rpm and the number of teeth on the flywheel,
calculate the rated MPU frequency in hertz:
With this calculated MPU frequency, find the speed range in the table that
includes this MPU frequency.
Set the four position DIP switch on the control to the switch combination that
matches the speed range that includes the calculated MPU frequency. (The
switch is closed when the switch is depressed with a pen or pencil on the side
closest to the control’s outer edge.)

WARNING
TO PROTECT AGAINST POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF LIFE,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE, BE
PREPARED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN to protect against
runaway or overspeed should the electric control, the actuator, or the fuel
control fail.
If the engine does not start, check to assure that the control is receiving the
proper battery voltage, that the Run/Stop wire (green wire) has battery voltage
applied to it, and that the magnetic pickup is putting out at least 1.0 Vrms. Also,
check that the engine is cranking at a minimum of 5% of rated speed, that the
engine is receiving proper fuel, and that the shutdown solenoid is in the run
condition.
If the engine is unstable after startup, slowly turn the gain pot counterclockwise
until it is stable. If the engine is stable, turn the gain slowly clockwise until the
engine is unstable and then turn the gain slightly counterclockwise until the
engine is stable again.
WARNING
The engine must always be shut down during speed switch adjustments to
prevent the possibility of engine overspeed during this process.
Woodward 11
Preparation of Stanadyne Fuel Pump Manual 04185
When either the Gain or Stability is increased, the other adjustment will have to
be decreased to maintain a stable engine. It is desirable to have as high a Gain
setting as possible at the selected Stability setting in order to reduce the amount
of engine speed variations. Check the response of the engine after each
adjustment by load stepping the engine. If it is not possible to load step the
engine, the engine stability can be checked by quickly disconnecting, then
connecting the Run/Stop switch or wire. Repeat the following tuning procedure
until the engine responds as desired.
NOTE
Too high a gain setting may result in stable operation at normal
temperatures but could cause oscillation when the engine is cold.
Readjustment may be required for satisfactory cold-start operation.
