4 5.2 TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCER The temperature transducers, Altronic P/N 691202-300, 691203-300 with a tem- perature measurement range of +5 to 300°F and the 691212-450, 691213-450 with a temperature range of -40 to +450°F are packaged in a sealed, stainless steel housing with a 5/8"-18 UNF threaded body, and a Packard Electric Metri-Pack connector. During configuration the standard calibration for ...
5 6.3 Drill, tap and spot face a hole in the exhaust pipe at the selected location. A flat smooth sealing surface is required to assure accurate readings since air or exhaust leaks will impact sensor operation. New sensors are packaged with an anti-seize compound already applied to the threads. There is no need to apply additional anti-seize unless reinstalling a used sensor. If required, use high ...
6 problems on power up/fault conditions. Refer to figure 8 for the timing diagram for a better understanding of the discrete outputs. 9.1 Discrete Output #1 - FUEL OUTPUT - This turns on the FUEL at a programmable time after the Crank has been initiated, and turns off immediately upon a fault/stop condition. 9.2 Discrete Output #2 - POWER OUTPUT - This output turns on at power up and turns off at a ...
7 RUNNING, TEST, TIMERS ACTIVE, MANUAL STOP, FAULT, or STANDBY. The configuration mode will read MANUAL, AUTO 1, AUTO 2, AUTO 3, OR AUTO 4. The LCD display always reverts to the home screen at power up or after 180 seconds with no keypad activity. 10.1 Examples of home screen: AUTO START (based on suction pressure) configuration with the engine running and timers active. MANUAL MODE with the engin ...
8 The message “WARMING UP” indicates that the permissive has not been met and the unit will stay running in the idle speed. The ‘START DLY045s’ message indicates there is 45 seconds until the warm up timer expires. From the home screen, press the UP/DOWN key to display up to 3 sets of 8 analog inputs as defined by the PC terminal program. AUTO 1 WARMING UP SUCTION 24.1 PSIG DISCHRG 206.5 ...
9 11.0 PASSWORD SCREENS 11.1 From the HOME screen, pressing the MENU key displays the PASSWORD screen. 11.2 PASSWORD FOR THE MENU The DE-1550 contains a numerical password, which, when correct, allows the user to modify key parameters. The range of the password may be any number between 0 and 999. The same password for the MENU also applies for the NEXT key. When the MENU key is pressed, the foll ...
10 12.0 HIGH/LOW SHUTDOWN SETPOINT SCREENS (ANALOG INPUT SETPOINT SCREENS) 12.1 Since the password has been correctly entered, the user can now make changes to any of the setpoints. The first screen displayed is the SETPOINT screen for the analog input on channel 20 (suction pressure). 12.2 The cursor (horizontal arrow) on the display shows which parameter is to be changed. The ENTER key is used ...
11 13.5 IDLE SPEED setpoint IDLE SPEED setpoint is the speed target before the warm-up timer expires. With the cursor next to the IDLE SPEED setpoint, the value can be changed using the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Pressing the F1 key brings up the P.I.D. line in the screen that is used to tune the dynamics of the speed control. 13.6 P.I.D. line The response of the governor can be adjusted by moving t ...
12 14.0 MODES OF OPERATION 14.1 The Modes of operation may be changed to either FIXED SPEED or LINEAR SPEED SETPOINT CONTROL. Select the control method and press the ENTER key. 15.0 LINEAR RAMP SETPOINT CONTROL 15.1 If Linear Ramp Setpoint control has been selected, there are a number of new menus specific to the linear mode. The following menu allows the operator to modify the channel used for L ...
13 16.0 CRANK SCREEN 16.1 When the controller is configured in any of the AUTO MODES, the OVERCRANK value represents the number of seconds that the controller will engage the starter during a crank attempt. CRANK/DIS is the speed that is considered to represent a successful start. When this speed is achieved during a crank cycle, the controller disconnects the starter. If the OVERCRANK time expire ...
14 18.0 START UP SCREENS 18.1 CRANK TO FUEL 18.2 CRANK TO IGNITION 18.3 PRESTART WARN. - This is the time the WARNING message comes on when the unit is about to start. 18.4 MINIMUM LOAD SPEED - This is the speed which must be met before the DE- 1550 exits the idle speed. 19.0 POWER DOWN SCREEN 19.1 The POWER DOWN parameter represents the time at which the controller will turn off its own power ...
15 20.0 TIMER SCREENS This section is composed of a number of screens used to adjust the Class B and C timers for the analog input channels. For any given screen, the first line shows the input number. The second line shows the class of the input. For digital in- puts, if the input is a Class A point, the third line says NO time delay. Class A points are armed at the setpoint at all times. If the ...
16 The ENTER key is used to move the cursor to the active channel line. The UP and DOWN arrow keys are used to select the input channel, either 20 (suction pres- sure), or 22 (field pressure), whose low setpoint will trigger the shutdown timer. 21.0 STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL PARAMETERS 21.1 02 SETPOINT VALUE - This is the target 02 value. 21.2 DEFAULT POSITION - This is the position the stepper motor ...
17 22.4 Line 3 shows the actual position of the stepper motor controller. 22.5 Line 4 shows the 02 input value. 22.6 The F2 key allows the user to go back one in the menu which allows the user to modify any of the Stepper Motor control parameters. 23.0 TIME/DATE SCREEN 23.1 This screen displays the current time and date. The cursor is moved adjacent to the number to be changed using the ENTER ...
18 This screen allows the user to select one of four modes of AUTO START. If the cursor is next to the AUTO 1 line, pressing ENTER brings up the next screen. The user uses the UP and DOWN arrow keys to define a minimum field pressure that once achieved, will result in an auto start of the system. This value must be set above the LOW SUCTION PRESSURE setpoint. With the engine shutdown in STANDBY and ...
19 24.2 In this mode, the system will shut down if the discharge pressure exceeds the HIGH DISCHARGE PRESSURE setpoint. When the discharge drops below the DIS PRS (Discharge Pressure to Start) setpoint shown on this screen, the con- troller will RESET, open the VENT and BYPASS valves, and initiate a start se- quence. Note that the DIS PRS value must be set below the HIGH DISCHARGE PRESSURE setpoin ...
20 25.0 HOURMETER SCREEN 25.1 MESSAGE NUMBER is reserved for future incorporation. TOTAL HOURS is the system hour meter showing total accumulated running time of the engine. The technician can adjust the HOURMETER reading in order to accommodate such things as a changeout of the engine on the skid. Press the ENTER key to move the cursor adjacent to the number of accumulated hours. The UP and Down ...
