6. While engine is cranking, turn crank disconnect
adjustment counter clockwise slowly until “Crank
Disconnect Speed” light turns on and cranking stops.
7. Turn crank disconnect adjustment clockwise 1/4 turn.
This sets crank disconnect speed at approximately 125
RPM above cranking speed.
8. Turn Mode Selector switch OFF.
(f) Reconnect the run solenoid wire at terminal 6 on Relay
Module.
4-4.3 Start and Stop Engine; to test the start and stop function,
proceed as follows:
(a) Double check all wiring to be sure it is connected.
(b) Turn Mode Selector switch to the TEST position. This
gives the A900 Controller a start signal.
(c) Engine should crank, start and come up to governor speed.
1. Check “Crank Disconnect Speed” light; it should be on
and “Crank Relay” light should be off.
2. If lights are not correct, turn Mode Selector switch
OFF and review paragraph 4-4.2.
(d) When engine has come up to speed and governor has been
adjusted for proper running speed, turn Mode Selector
switch OFF. This gives the A900 Controller a stop signal.
(e) All lights on the back of the A900 should go off and the
engine stop. If engine does not stop, check run solenoid
to be sure it has returned to the stop position.
4-4.4 Automatic Start and Stop; to test the automatic-start and
stop function, proceed as follows:
(a) Turn Mode Selector switch to the AUTO position. Short
terminal 28 to 4 on the Control / Display module. This
gives the A900 Controller a start signal.
(b) Engine will crank, start and come up to governor speed.
(c) When engine has come up to speed, open the circuit
between terminal 28 and 4. This gives the A900
Controller a stop signal.
(d) All lights on the back of the A900 should go off and the
engine stop.
4-4.5 Overspeed Switch Setting; To set the speed switch,
proceed as follows:
(a) Turn Mode Selector switch to the TEST position.
(b) Engine will crank, start and come up to governor speed.
(c) With engine running, adjust governor to bring engine speed
to normal RPM.
(d) Depress and hold the Overspeed Test pushbutton.
(e) Slowly turn the Overspeed Set adjustment counter-
clockwise until the “Overspeed” and “Overspeed Relay”
lights on the A900 come on and the engine shuts down.
(f) Release pushbutton; check “Overspeed” light on front
panel to be sure it is on.
(g) Turn Mode Selector switch OFF to reset shutdown circuits;
then back to TEST.
(h) When engine starts, increase governor speed setting slowly
until engine shuts down on overspeed. This should occur
about 10% above governor speed.
(i) Turn Mode Selector switch OFF.
4-4.6 Overcrank setting; to test number of cranks before system
shuts down on overcrank;
(a) Disconnect the run solenoid wire from terminal 6 of the
Relay Module.
(b) Check number set on the “Number Of Cranks” switch on
A900 back panel. It is factory set at 3.
(c) Turn Mode Selector switch to TEST.
1. Engine will crank for 15 seconds.
2. Then rest for 15 seconds
3. This should repeat 3 times and then the “Overcrank”
light on the A900 will come on and engine will not
crank again.
(d) Turn Mode Selector switch OFF.
(e) Reconnect the run solenoid wire at terminal 6 of the Relay
Module.
4-4.7 Oil Pressure; to test oil pressure shutdown circuit:
(a) Turn Mode Selector switch to TEST. When engine starts,
wait 30 seconds then,
(b) Use a jumper wire and short from terminal 30 to 4.
(c) “Oil Pressure” light will come on and engine will stop.
(d) Turn Mode Selector switch OFF.
4-4.8 Water Temperature; to test the water temperature
shutdown circuit:
(a) Turn Mode Selector switch to TEST. When engine starts,
wait 30 seconds then,
(b) Use a jumper wire and short from terminal 32 to 4.
