Parameter P[15]
Location L[49]
With a 100Kohm linear potentiometer connected as shown in figure 4a, you have the full excursion set with parameter P[16] (with the default value
P[16]=4608 there is an excursion of ± 14%); with a 25Kohm linear potentiometer in series with a 3.9Kohm resistor, connected as shown in figure
4b, the effect of the external potentiometer is cut in half (with the default value P[16]=4608 there is an excursion of approximately ± 7%).

50/60 Signal
A jumper is located on the 50/60 input (terminals 25 and 26); it provokes the commutation of the underspeed protection
threshold from 50·(100%-αHz%) to 60·(100%-αHz%), where αHz% represents the position relative to the Hz trimmer.
APO Contact
The acronym APO stands for Active Protection Output: terminals 23 (common) and 24 (collector) 30V-100mA non-
insulated open collector transistor, normally opened, is closed (with a delay that can be programmed only by software
from 1 to 15 seconds) when, among all the alarms, one or more of the active ones can be selected separately by soft-
ware.
The VOLT trimmer allows adjustment from about 75V to about 150V when using for sensing terminals 6/7 - 10/11/12
(with brdge 8-9), 15-16 and 20-21, or from about 150V to about 300V when using terminals 4/5 - 9/10/11/12, 14-17 and
19-22.
The STAB trimmer adjusts the dynamic response (statism) of the alternator under transient conditions. Do not set this
trimmer in a position lower than two notches counted counterclockwise.
The AMP trimmer adjusts the excitation overcurrent protection intervention threshold.
Use the following procedure in order to calibrate the overload protection:
1) Rotate the Hz trimmer entirely in the counter clockwise direction
2) Apply the nominal load to the alternator.
3) Decrease the speed by 10%
4) Two minutes later slowly rotate the AMP trimmer in the counter clockwise direction until there should be a decrease in
the voltage value of the generator and alarm 5 should come on (visible due to a change in the flashing indicator light) .
5) Under these conditions, adjust the AMP trimmer, until the output voltage value is 97% of the nominal value: alarm 5 is
still activated.
6) Return to the nominal speed; alarm 5 should disappear in a few seconds and the generator voltage should increase to
the nominal value.
7) Adjust the trimmer as indicated in the following paragraph.
