TABLE 4-2. Voltage Adjustment Range (MEP-816A)
Voltage Reconnection Terminal Board Position
Adjustment Range
120/208
197-229 volts
240/416
395-458 volts
I.
Disconnect wire 137A from terminal 5 of AC voltage regulator. Set multimeter for ohms and connect positive
lead to wire 137A and negative lead to terminal 4 of AC voltage regulator. Move VOLTAGE adjust
potentiometer to full counterclockwise position. Multimeter should indicate approximately 0 ohms. Move
VOLTAGE adjust potentiometer clockwise slowly while observing multimeter. Multimeter should increase
smoothly to approximately 20,000 ohms.
m.
If steps h., j., and I. are as indicated above. AC voltage regulator is defective and must be replaced.
n.
Connect all wires previously disconnected.
o.
Close output box access door.
4-1.4
Removal.
a.
Shut down generator set.
b.
Open battery access door and disconnect negative battery cable.
c.
Release control panel by turning two fasteners and lower control panel slowly.
d.
Tag and disconnect AC voltage regulator (2, FIGURE 4-3) electrical leads.
e.
Remove screws (1) and AC voltage regulator (2).
4-1.5
Installation.
CAUTION
The components of the AC voltage regulator kit are not Interchangeable. Ensure the part number
of the component to be Installed is the same as the removed component. Failure to observe this
caution will result In equipment damage.
a.
Install AC voltage regulator (2, FIGURE 4-3) with screws (1).
b.
Connect electrical leads and remove tags.
c.
Raise and secure control panel.
d.
Connect negative battery cable. Close battery access door.

SHORT CIRCUIT/OVERLOAD RELAY.
4-2.1
Testing.
CAUTION
Make sure negative cable Is disconnected prior to removing wires. Failure to observe this caution
could result In equipment damage.
a.
Remove Short Circuit/Overload Relay (paragraph 2-56-3).
b.
Install relay in test circuit shown in figure 4-1.
c.
Set multimeter for ohms and check for open circuits between terminals 5 and 6, 9 and 10. Check for closed
circuits between terminals 7 and 8, 11 and 12. If relay fails the above test, replace relay. If relay tests good
continue with remainder of test.
d.
Activate power source G1. Adjust voltage to 0 volts.
e.
Place switch S2 in the A" position and close S1.
f.
Slowly increase output voltage of G1 to 6.18 VAC (110% rated load). Leave G1 at this setting for 10 minutes.
Relay should not trip. Circuits should remain as indicated in step c above.
