50Hz applications, the frequency roll-off is
factory preset to 45Hz, for 60Hz operation, the
frequency is 55Hz).

4.2 Voltage Adjustment

1. Adjust the front panel VOLT to vary the generator

2. If used, a 1000 ~ 1500Ω 1/2 watt potential meter
may be connected to terminals VR and VR, refer
to Figure 4.

the system start oscillating and then rotate cw
just past the point where oscillation occurred.

5. FIELD FLASHING
When the regulator is operated with the generator for
the first time, the polarity of residual magnetism may
be reversed or too small to achieve the necessary
build-up voltage for the regulator. If reversing the field
connections does not induce build-up, and the residual
voltage is less than the specified value of 5 Vac, shut
down the Prime-mover and proceed with the following
steps :

2. When LED lamp is light on, it means the frequency isn t enough ,The output voltage will decrease to
prevent over load exciting current to damage the exciter field winding.
