(5) Seal screw plug for adjusting the crank terminate speed
(6) Seal screw plug for adjusting the oil step pressure speed setting
The electronic speed switch (ESS) is a single unit that contains controls which monitor four functions
at the same time:
• Engine overspeed
• Crank termination
Two different electronic speed switches are used. The switches are only different in the location of the
mounting holes. The "ESS" is mounted in the junction box.
Crank Termination
Crank termination is an adjustable engine speed setting that signals the starter motor that the engine is
firing and the cranking must be terminated. A switch will open in order to stop the current flow to the
starter motor circuit when the engine speed setting is reached. The starter motor pinion gear will then
disengage from the engine flywheel ring gear.
The setting of the oil step latch is not adjustable. After (ESS-17) on the terminal strip of the junction
box is energized, the contacts of the oil pressure step switch are held in the closed position. The oil
pressure step switch will remain closed until 2 seconds after the engine has completely stopped. This
action will prevent the shutoff from resetting below the oil step speed setting.

which is caused by too little oil pressure for a specified speed range. In order to maintain oil pressure
protection throughout the complete speed range of operation, two different oil pressure switches are
used. Switch (OPS1) has a low pressure rating and switch (OPS2) has a high pressure rating. The
engine oil pressure switches are mounted in the engine oil manifold that is located on the rear side of
the junction box.
The following conditions are for the operation of the oil step latch:
• An engine that uses an oil step latch must maintain an oil pressure that is greater than the rating
of the low oil pressure switch (OPS1) when the engine runs below the oil step pressure speed
setting.
• An engine that uses an oil step latch must maintain an oil pressure that is greater than the rating
of the high oil pressure switch (OPS2) when the engine runs above the oil step pressure speed
setting.
If one of the two conditions for the engine oil pressure are not correct, the low oil pressure alarm
switch (LOPAS1) or (LOPAS2) will energize an alarm. (OPS1) or (OPS2) also energizes the slave
relay (SR1). This process de-energizes the fuel solenoid which shuts off the fuel flow to the engine.
The engine oil pressure switches and the alarm switches are mounted in the engine oil manifold that is
located on the rear side of the junction box. The slave relay is mounted in the junction box.

The magnetic pickup is a permanent magnet generator with a single pole. Wire coils surround a
permanent magnet pole piece. When the teeth of flywheel ring gear (6) rotate through the magnetic
lines of force that are around the magnetic pickup pole (2), an AC voltage is generated. A positive
voltage is generated when each tooth rotates by the pole piece. When the space between the teeth
rotates by the pole piece, a negative voltage is generated. Engine speed is measured by the frequency
of these signals.

The engine oil pressure switch uses a spring loaded piston in order to activate an internal microswitch
that is set for a specific pressure rating. This microswitch is very accurate over the operating
temperature range. The microswitch also has a high electrical contact rating which improves
reliability.

switch must be in contact with the coolant. When the engine coolant temperature becomes too high,
the switch closes. Closure of the switch activates an alarm. Closure of the switch also shuts off the
fuel flow to the engine.

• The contact of the crank termination relay on the electronic speed switch (ESS) will open at a
preset engine speed. This will stop the current to the circuit of the SAS.
• The engine temperature becomes high enough to open the start aid temperature switch
("SATS").
NOTICE
The engine must be cranking before using the start aid switch. Damage
to the engine is possible if ether is released to the engine but not
exhausted or burned by the engine when cranking.

Circuit breaker
(3) Contacts
A circuit breaker is a switch that opens the circuit if the current in the electrical system is higher than
the rating of the circuit breaker.
A metal disc that is controlled with heat and a contact (3) will complete the circuit through the circuit
breaker. If the current in the electrical system is too high, the metal disc becomes too hot. The heat
causes a distortion of the metal disc which opens the contacts (2). Open contacts break the circuit. A
circuit breaker that is open can be reset after the circuit breaker cools. Push the reset button (1) in
order to close the contacts (4) and reset the circuit breaker.
NOTICE
Find and correct the problem that causes the circuit breaker to open.
Correcting the problem before running the engine will help prevent
damage to the circuit components caused by too much current.

Electric governor actuator (EGA) (2) and fuel solenoid (FS) (3). The components are mounted on the top of the engine.
The 2301A Electric Governor Control system consists of the following components:
• 2301A Control
• Actuator (EGA)
The 2301A Electric Governor Control system provides precision engine speed control. The 2301A
Control constantly monitors the engine rpm. The control makes the necessary corrections to the
engine fuel setting through an actuator that is connected to the fuel system.
The engine rpm is measured by the magnetic pickup ("MU"). The magnetic pickup makes an AC
voltage that is sent to the 2301A Control. The 2301A Control then sends a DC voltage signal to the
actuator in order to adjust the fuel flow.
The actuator changes the electrical signal from the 2301A Control to a mechanical output. The
mechanical output of the actuator causes the linkage from the actuator to move the fuel rack. This will
increase the flow of fuel to the engine or this will decrease the flow of fuel to the engine. If the engine
speed is more than the speed setting, the 2301A Control will decrease the voltage output which causes
the actuator to move the linkage in order to decrease the fuel flow to the engine.

months without discharging the battery. An electric protection system can remain idle for a minimum
of one month without discharging the battery. Cold weather decreases the efficiency of the battery.
This increases the discharge of the battery. In most applications, the engine is started weekly or a
battery charger is used to keep the battery at full charge. Therefore, few starting problems occur.
The suggestions that follow can be used to prevent battery discharge when the engine is not used for
extended time periods. Rental fleets are an example of not operating engines for extended time
periods.
If the engine will not be operated for several weeks and if the engine will not be connected to a
battery charger, disconnect the battery cable from the negative post (-) of the battery.
A 7N-0718 Battery Disconnect Switch can be installed in order to reduce the discharge of the battery
when the engine is not frequently operated for extended periods of time. The switch should be
installed between the negative terminal (-) of the battery and the negative terminal (-) of the starting
motor. Fabricate a bracket in order to mount the switch. Install the bracket close to the battery or close
to the starter motor. The switch can be mounted inside the power distribution box on generator set
engines. In all applications, the Battery Disconnect Switch must be mounted within 30° of vertical.
