Maintenance Info and Recommendations
The 505 Control is designed for continuous operation in a typical industrial environment and includes no
components that require periodic service. However, to take advantage of related product software and
hardware improvements, we recommend that your product be sent to a Woodward Authorized Service
Facility after every five to ten years of continuous service for inspection and component upgrades.
Clock battery
The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery is designed to last approximately 10 years during normal turbine
operation. When powered, the RTC automatically disables the battery usage to preserve it. During power-
off the battery is enabled and only used to maintain date and time. For long term storage, the battery is
specified to last > 5 years.
The RTC battery is a replaceable lithium coin cell Woodward PN 1743-1017. Contact a Woodward
Authorized Service Center if a replacement service is needed.
Calibration and Functional verification
It is recommended to verify calibration and functional operation every 24-36 months. This is especially
important for spare units that need to be ready for immediate use. Contact a Woodward Authorized
Service Center for assistance.
Aluminum Electrolytic capacitors
It is recommended to apply power to spare units every 24-36 months for 3 hours to reform the electrolytic
capacitors used in the power module.
