If the EDG5500 detects no input from the magnetic pickup, the
EDG will set the actuator to 0V and set the speed to 0 RPM. After
the EDG has detected loss of magnetic pickup, the display will
flash the RPM along with the Warning Indicator. Parameters will

ADJUSTING FOR STABILITY
nce the engine is running at operating speed and at no load, the following goverO
nor performance adjustments can be made to increase engine stability.
GAIN - RATED SPEED & IDLE
The EDG5500 is equipped with two separate gains, one for rated speed, the other for idle
speed. Both are set using the GAIN setting on the Quikset menu. By default, the gain for
rated speed is selected. To modify the idle gain, connect the idle input to ground and change
the gain value. When switching back, the rated gain value will remain.
To change parameters, refer to Section 4 DISPLAY & CONTROLS.

Droop will replicate a mechanical governors response to a load change. In Droop
Operation, the engine speed will decrease as engine load increases. DROOP%
(Quikset Menu) is based on the change in current in the actuator (DRNG see
Section 5 Special Menu Parameters) from no load to full load.

Multiplier Changes can make drastic changes. Changing a multiplier
(e.g. GMUL) will affect the corresponding Quikset parameter (e.g.
GAIN) in two ways:
1. If the multiplier is decreased by 1, corresponding Quikset value
will double.
2. If the multiplier is increased by 1, corresponding Quikset value
will halve.
The engine will maintain current operation while adjusting parameters.
( i.e. NO CHANGES ) Since the scaling will be made to the Gain, Stability, and Derivitive parameters automatically, go back and readjust these
parameters to the diesired levels.

SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
Instability
System Inoperative
If the engine governing system does not function, the fault may be determined by
performing the voltage tests described in Steps 1 through 3. Positive (+) and negative (-) refer to meter polarity. Should normal values be indicated during troubleshooting steps, then the fault may be with the actuator or the wiring to the actuator.
Tests are performed with battery power on and the engine off, except where noted.
See actuator publication for testing procedure on the actuator.
