NOTE:
WESTERBEKE recommends that the following generator tests
and
adjustments be performed by a qualified technician.

EXCITER
CIRCUIT
MODEL
These generators have dual Hertz and no-load voltage adjust-
ment connectors at each capacitor. There are five connectors
available for each capacitor. Two connectors are for Hertz
selection,
60
Hertz
or
50
Hertz, and three connectors, #7, #8,
and #9, are for no-load voltage
adjusttnent.
When making Hertz change or no-load voltage adjusttnents
proceed as follows:
1. Shut the generator down.
2.
Select the appropriate Hertz connection to plug into each
capacitor #60,
60
Hertz, 1800
RPM
or #50 Hertz, 1500
RPM. The three other connectors
at
each capacitor, #7,
#8, and #9, will have an effect on the no-load voltage
produced by the generator.
One
connector from each
group can be plugged into each capacitor. No-load voltage
will increase or decrease approximately 8 - 10 volts
between connectors used in any pair combination to
achieve the prescribed no-load voltages illustrationed
above.

are
NOT

NOTE:
Simply cross the capacitor's two tenninals with an
insulated )plastic handle) screwdriver. This will discharge
any excess electricity.
NOTE:
When changing Hertz produced by the generator, an
engine speed adjustment at the governor
must
be made. The
AC
output connections on the terminal blocks
must
be
selected
for
the voltage and Hertz to be produced. The Hertz
plug connection at the capacitor must be changed
for
50
Hertz (#5)
or
60 Hertz (#6). Theframe ground wire
must
be
moved when changing from
115 volts,
50
Hertz
to
230 volts,
50
Hertz
A
WARNING:
Capacitors
must
be
discharged
before
handling
as
they
store
electricity
and
can
pack
a
potentially lethal
charge
even
when
disconnected
from
their
power
