2.  CONNECTION TERMINAL 

1.  P1,  P2

Power  Input  Terminals  from  60  to 

300VAC 50/60Hz -16A rated. 

2.  F+, F

Maximum Output current 16A. 

3.  VS1, VS2

Voltage sensing input terminals, Volts 

selected using DIP SW1 for 220V or 400V. 

4.  K,  L

Load  Current  Compensation  (Droop),  CT 

secondary  current  input  selected  by  using  DIP 
SW 1A or 5A (If droop  not used leave terminals 
open). 

5.  VR1, VR2

External Voltage trim use, 2K Ohms 1 

watt  trimmer  for  ±5%  voltage  adjustment.  Keep 
terminals shorted when not in use. 

6.  A1,  A2

Analogue  Voltage  Input  terminals  used 

for Power Factor correction from a external PLC- 
The PLC controls provides a DC voltage signal to 
adjust  the  generator  voltage.  Max.  Adjustment 
range is ±5VDC. Keep terminals open when not 
used. 

7.  DIP Switch

3.  ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING 

1.  TRIM works together with a bias voltage applied 

to terminals A1 and A2. This signal is supplies by 
an  external  Power  Factor  Paralleling  PLC.  Use 
the TRIM potentiometer to adjust the DC voltage 
input  that  controls  the  level  of  the  generator’s 
output  voltage.  When  set  counter-clockwise  the 
control level is zero, and if moved clockwise the 
maximum  control  range  is  10%.  The  signal 
connected to A1 and A2 can be unipolar (0,+) or 
bipolar (+,

). Check with the manufacture of the 

Paralleling control PLC. 

 

2.  DROOP

Select  switch  K  or  L  pending  on  the 

secondary  current  of  the  CT  that  you  are  using. 
Voltage droop works when the CT and the AVR 
senses  that  the  output  of  the  generator  voltage 
and current waveforms are out of synch and the 
AVR  droops  the  output  voltage  of  the  generator 
to correct it.   

3.  STAB

If  the  generator  output  voltage  oscillate, 

adjusting  the  STAB  potentiometer  will  stabilize 
the output  voltage,  over adjustment will result  in 
high voltage variation when load is applied. Use 
an  analog  type  multimeter  when  making  this 
adjustment.  Connect  the  meter  to  terminals  F+ 
and F

 and slowly adjust STAB potentiometer to 

the point when the pointer stops moving. 

4.  VOLT

Move to set the generator output voltage. 

Set  DIP  Switch  1  to  the  generator  working 
voltage.   

 

Set SW1 to OFF (220V) for use from 170 to 260V 

 

Set SW1 to ON (400V) for use from 340 to 510V 

 

When using and external VR set it to the central 
position  and  adjust  the  AVR  VOLT  trim  to  the 
rated voltage. 

NOTE 

If the external VR is not used, short terminal 
VR1 and VR2. 

5.  U/F

Under Frequency protection setting.   

 

At 60Hz U/F factory set at 55Hz   

 

At 50Hz U/F factory set at 45Hz 

 

To  adjust  the  U/F  setting,  select  the  correct 
system frequency, start engine and adjust engine 
speed  to  the  required  U/F  frequency  (for 
example  55Hz  or  45Hz),  slow  adjust  U/F 
potentiometer  until  the  U/F  red  LED  turn  ON, 
returning  the  engine  speed  to  normal  turn  the 
LED off. 

 

Function of the Under Frequency trim pot

 

  During  start  up  or  shutdown,  the  engine  speed 

changes going over or under its rated RPM (Hz). 
This  AVR  has  an  Under  Frequency  circuit  to 
protect the  AVR and  exciter;  you do not need to 
disconnect the AVR when idling the engine. 

  If load is higher than the generator’s capacity, the 

Under 

Frequency 

activates, 

reducing 

the 

generator’s 

voltage 

preventing 

generator 

overload.
