SHUTOFF AND ALARM SYSTEMS
SYSTEMS OPERATION
The engine speed is felt by magnetic pickup ( ). As the
teeth of the flywheel go through the magnetic lines of
force around the pickup. an AC voltage is made. Dual
speed switch (2) measures engine speed from the
frequency of the voltage.
Time delay relay (7) controls the operation of shutdown
relay (9), which in turn, controls the operation of fuel
shutoff solenoid ( 12). Time delay relay (7) will keep the
fuel shutoff solenoid energized for 70 seconds after a
fault condition. This prevents the engine from being
started again before the flywheel has stopped rotation.
When the engine starts and gets to a speed just
above cranking speed, the normally open contacts of
crank terminate switch (4) [which is part of dual speed
switch (2)] will close. This will complete the circuit to time
delay relay (7) through terminal TD-2. In approximately 9
seconds N.O. switch (8) in time delay relay (7) will close
and complete the circuit between shutdown relay (9) and
terminal TD-7 of the time delay relay. If the engine oil
pressure has not activated oil pressure switch (6) by 9
seconds, current will flow through the N.C. switch in the
oil pressure switch and through the now closed N.O.
switch (8) to activate shutdown relay (9) which in turn
activates fuel shutoff solenoid (12). If engine oil pressure
activates oil pressure switch (6), the N.O. switch will
close and the N.C. switch will open. This will let current
flow to terminal TDI of the time delay relay and
immediately close N.O. switch (8). At the same time the
N.C. switch in the oil pressure switch will open and
prevent current flow to switch (8).
If the engine speed increases above the overspeed
setting ( 118% of rated speed) of the dual speed switch,
the overspeed switch (part of the dual speed switch) will
close
across
terminals
DSS-7
and
DSS-8.
This
completes the circuit to shutdown relay (6) through the
now closed switch (8) at terminal TD-7. Shutdown relay
(9) is activated and in turn activates fuel shutoff solenoid
(12) to cause the engine to shutdown.
When the engine speed gets less than the cranking
speed setting, switch (4) opens. This stops the flow of
current to terminal TD-2 of the time delay relay. When
the engine stops, engine oil pressure will become less
than the setting of the oil pressure switch. The N.O.
switch will open and stop the flow of current to terminal
TD-I of the time delay relay. This will start the time delay
relay timer. After 70 seconds, switch (8) will open and
stop current flow to shutdown relay (9) and fuel shutoff
solenoid (12) will no longer be activated.
NOTICE To help prevent damage to the engine, find
and correct the problem that caused the engine to
overspeed before the engine is started again.
After an overspeed shutdown. a button on the dual
speed switch must be pushed to open the overspeed
switch before the engine will run.
When the engine has been started and is running.
the time delay relay will close switch (8). If the engine
coolant temperature goes above the setting of water
temperature switch (5). the N.O. contacts will close. This
lets current flow through the water temperature switch
and through switch (8) to activate shutdown relay (9) and
in turn activates fuel shutoff solenoid ( 12).
When the engine speed gets less than the cranking
speed setting, switch (4) opens. This stops the flow of
current to terminal TD-2 of the time delay relay. When
the engine stops, engine oil pressure will become less
than the setting of the oil pressure switch. The N.O.
switch will open and stop the the flow of current to
terminal TDI of the time delay relav. This will start the
time delav relav timer. After 70 seconds. switch (8) \ ill
open and stop current flow to shutdown relay (9) and fuel
shutoff solenoid (12) will no longer be activated.
NOTICE To help prevent damage to the engine, find
and correct the problem that caused the engine to
get too hot before the engine is started again.
When the engine has been started and is running,
the time delay relay will close switch (8). If the engine oil
pressure gets less than the setting of oil pressure switch
(6). the N.C. switch will close. This will let current flow
through switch (8) to activate shutdown relay (9) and in
turn activates fuel shutoff solenoid (12). The N.O. switch
will also open and stop current flow to terminal TD-I of
the time delay relay. When the engine speed gets less
than the cranking speed setting. switch (4) opens. This
stops the flow of current to terminal TD-2 of the time
delay relay and starts the time delay relay timer. After 70
seconds. switch (8) will open and stop current flow to
shutdown relay (9) and fuel shutoff solenoid (12) will no
longer be activated.
NOTICE To help prevent damage to the engine, find
and correct the cause for low engine oil pressure
before the engine is started again.
