DOWN
Closing the DOWN contact across terminals J1-3
and J1-4 causes the active operating set point to
decrease.
Keeping either contact closed will continue to
increase(UP)ordecrease(DOWN)theoperatingset
point until a limit is reached. The limit is determined
by the Maximum External Contact Adjust field of
DVRPortal™. The effect generated by the contacts
is displayed in DVRPortal™ on the Set Points Tab as
thevalue“ContactOffset.”
Note: If power is removed from the DVR
®
, the settings
from the remote UP/DOWN contacts will be lost.
DROOP_OFF
This function enables reactive load sharing between
generators operating in parallel. Closing the DROOP_
OFF contact across terminals J1-10 and J1-4 dis-
ables voltage droop. Opening the contact enables
voltage droop.
EXCITATION_OFF
This contact input enables removal of excitation
without removing power to the regulator. Closing the
EXCITATION_OFF contact across terminals J1-11
andJ1-4disablesfieldexcitation.Openingthecon-
tact enables field excitation with a soft start and
clears any alarms or faults.
VAR/PF_OFF (EC+ only)
NOTE: Operation in VAR or PF modes should only
be enabled when generator is paralleled with utility
(infinite bus).
This function enables VAR or PF regulation when the
generator is paralleled to utility. Opening the VAR/
PF_OFF contact across terminals J1-9 and J1-4
enables VAR or PF control. Closing the contact
disables VAR or PF regulation and defaults to AVR3
regulation.
Communication Port (RS-232)
The communication port provides an isolated inter-
face for user programming of the DVR
®
through
DVRPortal™. The connection is made to the female
RS-232 (DB-9) connector with a user-supplied,
standard 9-pin cable. A null modem cable will not
function.
CAN Port
The CAN port provides an isolated interface for
communication with and control of the DVR
®
. This
permits the integration of the DVR
®
as a node on
a CAN network. The connection is made to the
J3 connector with a user-supplied Amp/Tyco Mini
Mate-N-Lok plug. The communication is powered
from a transformer-isolated supply. Refer to Section
3 – Specifications, for connector details.
Controller
The controller portion of the DVR
®
includes the
microprocessor and performs measurement, com-
putation, control and communication functions.
Power Input Stage
Input power is applied to terminals 3 and 4 from a
PMG. It is rectified and filtered before being applied
to the power amplifier and the power supply.
Power Supply
The internal switch-mode power supply is fed from
the power input stage and supplies power at the
requiredDCvoltagelevelstotheinternalcircuitryof
the DVR
®
.
Power Amplifier Stage
The power amplifier is fed from the power input
stage and supplies a controlled amount of power to
the exciter field via terminals F+ and F-.
HMI Display
A four-character light-emitting-diode (LED) display
indicates various operating modes, protective func-
tions,andadjustments.Section 6 – Human-Machine
Interface provides more information about the front
panel display.
HMI Buttons
Changes to settings can be made at the front panel
using the four buttons:
SELECT,UP,DOWNandENTER
Refer to Section 6 – Human-Machine Interface for
more information about the front panel switches.
