Figure 3-1 illustrates prime mover starts with the RAMP TIME potentiometer fully counterclockwise (no ramp—be careful not to overtorque the pot), step loadings at four different RESET potentiometer settings, and stable, steady-state running conditions. These are typical performance curves on a naturally aspirated (non-turbocharged) diesel engine. Optimum performance is not necessarily obtained with the GAIN potentiometer at the maximum stable clockwise position. In some cases, the gain must be reduced slightly to ensure stability under widely varying conditions.
Actuator Compensation Adjustment
If the ACTUATOR COMPENSATION is set as described under INITIAL PRESTART SETTINGS, no further adjustment is normally required. If a slow, periodic instability remains, slightly increase the ACTUATOR COMPENSATION (turn the potentiometer clockwise) and repeat the GAIN and RESET adjustments. Continue to increase the ACTUATOR COMPENSATION and readjust the GAIN and RESET until stability is achieved. If a fast instability or extremely active actuator is evident, slightly decrease the ACTUATOR COMPENSATION (turn the potentiometer counterclockwise). If necessary, the ACTUATOR COMPENSATION may be set fully counterclockwise (be careful not to overtorque the pot). This may be required when engine torsionals cause excessive fuel-linkage movement.
Low Idle Speed Adjustment
1. The prime mover should be at rated speed with the LOW IDLE SPEED potentiometer set at maximum (fully clockwise—be careful not to overtorque the pot). Open the external CLOSE FOR RATED contact.
2. Decrease the LOW IDLE SPEED (turn the potentiometer counterclockwise) until the recommended idle speed is reached. If the RATED SPEED setting is changed, LOW IDLE SPEED will also be changed and may require readjustment. Changing the LOW IDLE SPEED does not change the RATED SPEED setting. Make certain that the prime-mover speed is controlled by the LOW IDLE SPEED potentiometer in a range above the minimum-fuel position (mechanical stop) of the actuator or prime-mover fuel rack.
