Operational Analysis
UTILITY VOLTAGE FAILURE AND ENGINE CRANKING
•After the controller’s 10-second timer has timed out, if Utility voltage is still below 65% of nominal, the controllers logic will
energize the internal crank relay followed by the internal run relay.
•When the internal crank relay energizes 12 VDC is delivered to the starter contactor relay (SCR) via Wire 56. When the SCR
energizes its contacts close and battery voltage is delivered to a starter contactor (SC). When the SC energizes its contacts close
and battery voltage is delivered to the starter motor (SM); the engine is now cranking.
•With the engine cranking a speed reference signal is generated by the magnetos and is delivered to the controller through Wire
18. If a valid signal is received, the controller will energize the internal run relay and deliver 12VDC on Wire 14. The fuel solenoid
energizes (opens) and fuel is available to the engine. The choke solenoid (CS) begins to operate and the controller grounds Wire
90, energizing the choke solenoid cyclically curing cranking, and continuously while running.
•During Cranking 3-5VDC is supplied to the rotor for field flash via a field boost diode connected in parallel with Wire 56.
•With ignition and fuel flow available the engine will start.
