Speed Bias Output
The Speed Bias Offset calibration point sets an offset on the speed bias output of
the EGCP-2. This output is fed into the speed control governor to bias the
governing speed for synchronization and load control functions. This offset is the
starting point from which the EGCP-2 begins all of its speed biasing operations.
Factory calibrated for:
Speed Bias Type
Voltage at Terminals
73(+) – 74(–)
Speed Bias Offset
±3 Vdc
0.00 Vdc
0.0%
0.5 – 4.5 Vdc
2.5 Vdc
0.0%

The Speed Bias will be calibrated to have the generator set operating at 50.0 or
60.0 hertz.
Calibration is required for Caterpillars ADEM speed control.
PWM range needs to be calibrated for 69% Duty Cycle as measured
on Terminals 73(+) and 74(–).
Preset Speed Bias Offset to 39.00%
Start Engine
Adjust Speed Bias Offset for rated speed of 50 or 60 Hertz.

Increasing the Speed Bias Offset will increase the Speed Bias readout in the I/O
Display status screen of the EGCP-2. The speed bias offset imposes an offset in
percent of speed bias output. For example a Speed Bias offset of 3% will give a
3% speed bias reading in the I/O Display status screen. Decreasing the Speed
Bias Offset has just the opposite effect in that the values will read negative
instead of positive.
Voltage Bias Output
The Voltage Bias Offset in the Calibration menu is used to impose an offset
voltage on the voltage bias output to the automatic voltage regulator. This dc
voltage offset is applied to the voltage bias input of the automatic voltage
regulator, and is maintained as a starting point for all voltage bias operations
used by the EGCP-2.
