Testing Engine speed at the GFCI receptacle:
● The operating speed of the engine may be tested by using a multimeter
with the scale set to read Hertz (Hz)
NOTE:
Not all multimeters have
Hertz scales.
● Set the multimeter to the Hertz (or Hz) scale. With the engine running and
the light breakers switched off, insert the meter probes into the GFCI
receptacle as shown in Example “D”.
● The meter should read 62.0 Hertz with no load the engine. A reading of
less than 62.0 Hertz indicates that the engine is not running with enough
speed to create the necessary power to operate all of the lamps
consistently.
● Example D:
●
Note:
Slow engine speed may be caused by a number of factors
a. Incorrectly adjust engine governor. Adjust governor as shown in
Example “B”, until a reading of 62.0 Hz is indicated on the
multimeter display.
b. Clogged or dirty Air and/or Fuel filters. Replace filters if there is any
question as to their condition.
c. Dirty Fuel. Drain Fuel tank and fuel system and replace it with
known clean fuel. Replace fuel filter before re-starting the engine.
d. Worn or damaged engine. If the above steps fail to correct the
engine speed this may indicate a faulty engine. Contact your local
servicing dealer for the make and model diesel engine in your light
tower. Repair, rebuild or replace as necessary.
