EFC Governor Screwdriver Syele,(Eresuency) Neter 2 Volt De Batteries Printed in U.S.A INTRODUCTION An isochronous Electric Fuel Control (EFC) governor is now available for Cummins engines with the PT-AFC fuel system. During the fourth quarter of 1981 and during 1982 the original governor, installed on Cummins Generator Set engines, was 2 droop-type governar. The isochrenous governor is suitable for droop or isochronous operation This, publication contains the instructions for the installation, adjustment and trouble- shooting of the Cummins EFC Governor in a generator set application GOVERNOR DESCRIPTION ‘The governor contains a magnetic pickup, a governor control, an actuator and the mount= ing parts, 1. The magnetic pickup senses the flywheel rotation and sends an electrical signal to the governar control 2. The governor contro! compares the eletrical signal, or pulses, from the magnetic pickup with a preset reference point. The control then changes the current to the. Sctuator 3. When the control curront changes, the actuator shaft turns. When the actuator shaft turns, the engine speed changes. PART DESCRIPTION Magnetic Pickup 1. The magnetic pickup is an electramag- etic” device that is. mounted, in the flywheel "housing. When the. flywheel gear teoth pase the pickup, anvalte hating current (A.C) voltage is induced, "one’ cycle for ‘each’ gear tooth 2. The magnetic pickup sends an electrical signal to the governor control. The input signal strength from the magnetic pickup must be at least 1-8 volts AC for the system fo function properly 3. If. panel mounted (or plug in) governer control is used, the magnetic pickup wires are connected to terminals. 13. and 14 of the terminal block in the engineinstrument Panel.” Internal wiring connects terminals 13 and If of the terminal block with term! hhals Band € of the panel mounted governor control 4. If 9 remote governor control is used, the magnetic pickup wires are connected to terminals 5 and 6 of the remote governor contral 5. Terminal £ of the panel mounted governor control and terminal 6 of the remote gover- nor control are internally grounded Governor Control The governor control is an all electric solid-state module which compares the pulses from the magnetic pickup, which are directly propartional to the engine speed, with the spece control reference sei point. "A current output is supplied to the actuator which rotates, the actuator shaft to control the fuel flow to the engine Two types of the governor control are available, depending on customer requirements: The panel mounted governor control plugs into the printed circuit board in the Cum= mins engine instrument panel. All of the governcr circuitry is sealed with 9 silicone Spoxy for enviromental and vibration pro” The governor control and the printed cir- cuit Board inside the engine’ instrument panel The engine instrument panel The remote mounted governor control has Ir internal circuit board that is set in a Ble Cast aluminum case.

A remote mounted Yeeeal Sgjusting potentiometer can be used nth this governor. The governor control_and actuator are Glecteeally opersted.
