Works for me on a Cruise Ship in the Atlantic O.

I've got a concept for something to replace the functions of the float switch, A9 Float module and fuel level sensor. Similar to how the AAMPS does it. I'll work on it when I return from vacation.

For starters you may want to check the wiring of K20s relay socket. If that checks out OK you ought to bench test the relay in K20 to see if the appropriate contacts both open and close as they should. Something is weird with the K20 relay that doesn't pop CB1.

What do you have the AM-VM switch set to?

I'd recommend the following to see if the rack is stuck. Remove the plug on the side of the governor that's used to access the Droop Adjustment screw. This.. Then look right thru the hole and you will see a rectangular metal block. This block is connected to the left end if the rack. Watch...

As I recall the meter back is secured to the body of the meter by a threaded ring that screws into the black body of the meter. You need to have the meter removed to see it. If not to corroded you can use a small screwdriver and small hammer to unscrew the ring. The ring has small notches in...

K20 is the Oil Pressure relay. Normally when the set is running K20 is closed. Relay K20 closes when you have S1 in START and the Oil Pressure has built up. K20 closes sending 24 Volts to K1. Other contacts in K20 create a "latching" circuit to hold K20 closed so when you release S1 back to...

If the voltages are proportionally the same as 120 and 240 and you can't achieve 120 at the outlet with the set running at 60 Hz then it may be the VR or front panel voltage adjust. If the voltages are not proportionally the same then you the set has other issues.

I suspect shipping the gen head to PR by MeccAlte could be expensive. Here is the contact info to get a price quote and a picture of the packing list with the specific gen head to order.

Somethings not right if you're measuring 140 at the convenience outlet. You ought to take voltage measurements across L1 to L0, L3 to L0 and L1 to L3. You should get 120, 120, 240 respectively.

I have 6 dead float modules here waiting on parts so I can repair them.

I use a Dremel with a cut off wheel to cut the side of the metal collars and then just pry them off. Replace the hose with new, use a gentle bend in the hose and re-attach with some S.S. hose clamps.

Sound like you may not be getting 24 volts to the contactor terminal X when the set is running. Start the set and check for 24 volts at K20 terminal 6 & 9. K20 closes when the oil pressure come up. 24 volts come into K20 on terminal 9 and out terminal 6 to provide 24 colts to the X terminal of...

See TB 11-6115-741-24 It has info on changing out the troublesome Facet cube pump with the Airtex E1074 round pump or a Purolator when the set goes thru a reset.

It's the addition of a fuse holder and fuse next to the A1 AC Voltage Regulator. It's a fuse to protect the static exciter from being damaged should the AC Voltage Regulator fail. It's detailed in TB 11-6115-741-24 section 5.4

You need to be looking in the generator TM 9-6115-642-24 on how to test the OP gauge and the OP sender. The OP senders tend to be the culprit.

See PDF page 159 of that -13&P The version I referred to about 4-14 may be a different version. I have several version of the PDF.

Here is a link to the Technical Manuals, TM's, for the 831A. ---> 831A TMs See section 4-14 for the adjustment procedures.

The -13&P TM has the adjustment procedure for both the SLC100 Goernor Controller module and the mechanical linkage on the governor. The -13&P TM can be downloaded from the TM section of this forum.
