Initial Setup and Commissioning
1.
Install the regulator and wire up to the correct
wiring diagram (Connection A, B, or C).
2.
If installing the XR5C on a brush-type generator,
verify that the brushes and brush riggings are
isolated, ungrounded, and connected ONLY to the
XR5C.
3.
Turn the internal voltage and stability controls 15 or
more turns counter clockwise (left) or until you hear
the screw click. This procedure is necessary in
case the original factory settings have been altered.
4.
If you are using a remote voltage adjustment, set it
at 50% of adjustment.
5.
If the generator is to be paralleled, set the droop
resistor to 2Ω.
6.
Start up the prime mover and bring up to operating
speed and turn on the regulator switch (if used).
7.
Set the internal voltage adjustment to the desired
voltage setting for the generator output by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise (right).
The voltage adjustment is a 25-turn pot!
You may notice unsteady or pulsating
voltage. If so turn the Stability adjustment clockwise until the pulsation stops.
As you turn
the stability adjustment, the terminal voltage will rise.
Always keep your voltage within
10% of the desired setpoint with the voltage adjustment pot.
8.
Place the generator on line and observe the frequency and voltage.
9.
If the generator is being paralleled, measure the droop during loading and adjust the
droop resistor as necessary. Reducing droop resistor resistance will reduce droop.
NOTE:
Loading the generator with a purely resistive load-bank may cause
undesirable droop characteristics such as no droop, very slight droop, or even
rising terminal voltage. Measure droop with a mixed load for best results.
10.
If paralleling and the terminal voltage rises or excessive amperage exportation occurs
during loading with a mixed load connected, reverse the CT leads and try again.
11.
Observe voltage regulation during no-load and full-load conditions. Once the voltage is
set and regulating characteristics are satisfactory the installation procedure is complete.
