5) Special Features
The generator set has special features that are described more fully under the assemblies in which they
appear.
a) Protective Monitoring
The protective monitoring system receives signals from the fault sensing components in the generator
output circuit and functions to cause the load to be disconnected from the generator if an abnormal
condition of voltage, frequency, or load develops.
b) Voltage Regulator
A microprocessor-type, adjustable voltage regulator provides automatic voltage regulation at the
aircraft. The regulated out is also adjustable for a variety of output cable sizes and lengths.
c) Engine Electronic Control Module
The engine is equipped with an electronic control module that monitors, records, and controls engine
performance.
d) Battery System Disconnect Switch
The generator set is equipped with a battery disconnect switch inside the unit on the LEFT side. The
disconnect switch can be placed in the off position during long periods of shutdown.
6) Canopy
A sheet metal enclosure, identified as a canopy, provides protection for the engine, generator and
electrical controls. The canopy is designed to reduce the operational noise level in the immediate area of
the machine.
