GOVERNING EDG5500
SYSTEM Electronic Digital Governor
With Quickset™ Display
InSTALLATION
The EDG speed control unit is rugged enough to be placed
in a control cabinet or engine mounted enclosure with other
dedicated control equipment. If water, mist, or condensation
may come in contact with the controller, it should be mount-
ed vertically. This will allow the fluid to drain away from the
speed control unit. Extreme heat should be avoided.
WARNING
An overspeed shutdown device, independent of the
governor system, should be provided to prevent loss
of engine control, which may cause personal injury
or equipment damage. Do not rely exclusively on the
governor system electric actuator to prevent
overspeed. A secondary shutoff device, such as a
fuel solenoid, must be used.
WIRING
Basic electrical connections are illustrated in Diagram 2. Ac-
tuator and battery connections to Terminals A, B, E, and F
should be #16 AWG (1.3 mm sq.) or larger. Long cables re-
quire an increased wire size to minimize voltage drops.
The battery positive (+) input, Terminal F, should be fused for
15 amps as illustrated. The EDG5500 SERIES is suitable for
12V DC or 24V DC operations.
Magnetic speed sensor wires connected to Terminals C and
D MUST BE TWISTED AND/OR SHIELDED for their entire
length. The speed sensor cable shield should ideally be con-
nected as shown in Diagram 2. The shield should be insulat-
ed to insure no other part of it comes in contact with engine
ground, otherwise stray speed signals may be introduced
into the speed control unit. With the engine stopped, adjust
the gap between the magnetic speed sensor and the ring
gear teeth. The gap should not be any smaller than 0.020 in.
(0.45 mm). Usually, backing out the speed sensor 3/4 turn
after touching the ring gear teeth will achieve a satisfactory
air gap. The magnetic speed sensor voltage should be at
least 1V AC RMS during cranking.

RUNNING THE ENGINE
Starting the Engine
Crank the engine with DC power applied to the governor
system. The actuator/ fuel to the engine will be positioned to
the level set by the START FUEL parameter (default is maxi-
mum fuel). Starting Ramp will then control the rate at which
fuel is increased to start the engine.
If the engine is unstable after starting, adjust the GAIN, STA-
BILITY, and DEADTIME COMPENSATION Quikset Menu

PRE-START SETUP
Basic Parameters
Before starting the engine, the following parameters, at a
minimum, must be set (refer to Quikset Menu parameters
for more detail):
• #TEETH (Number of teeth on flywheel)
• CRANK (Crank Termination RPM)
• SPEED (Set the SPEED RPM)
Using the Keypad and LCD:
• The numerical area displays the value of a
selected parameter or live running param-
eter. The alpha numeric area displays the
units for the parameter (e.g., 1800 RPM).
• When running, the EDG will by default
display the engine RPM in the alpha numeric
area and the bar graph will represent throttle
position. The EDG can alternatively display
the throttle position, and show the difference
between commanded RPM and actual RPM
on the bar graph.
• To alternate between RPM and throttle posi-
tion on display and bar graph, press either
UP or DOWN.
• If the EDG display is locked, it can be
unlocked by simultaneously pressing and
holding the UP and DOWN buttons for 10
seconds. The LOCKED indicator will the
turn off.
A. Increase the GAIN parameter on the Quikset menu until
instability develops. Gradually decrease the Gain until sta-
bility returns. Decrease the adjustment one count further to
insure stable performance
B. Increase the STABILITY parameter on the Quikset menu
until instability develops. Gradually decrease the STABILITY
until stability returns. Decrease the parameter by one count
to insure it is stable. If No instability leave set at 50.
C. Increase the DEADTIME (compensation) parameter on
the Quikset menu until instability develops. Gradually de-
crease the DEADTIME until stability returns. Decrease the
parameter by one count to insure it is stable.
D. GAIN, STABILITY, and DEADTIME (compensation) pa-
rameter adjustments may require minor changes after en-
gine load is applied. Normally, adjustments made at no load
achieve satisfactory performance. A strip chart recorder can
be used to further optimize the adjustments.

With the EDG powered off, place the optional external selec-
tor switch in the DROOP position. When the unit is powered,
DROOP can be changed by incrementing the DROOP pa-
rameter on the Quikset Menu display. When in Droop op-
eration, the engine speed will decrease as engine load in-
creases. The percentage of droop is based on the change in
current in the actuator from no load to full load (DRNG in the
Special Menu).
After the EDG has detected loss of magnetic pickup, the
display will flash the RPM along with the warning indica-
tor. No parameters will be allowed to be changed.
Trim or Variable Speed Operation
The EDG5500 is equipped with a Variable Speed / Trim in-
put. This input accepts a 5K potentiometer connected be-
tween terminals J and G.

There are two modes of droop operation, Speed with Auto Generally, the trim function is used to perform finer adjust-

 CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS for QUIKSET

Note 1: In Trim Mode, V.SPEED represents the RPM TRIM of the SPEED parameter dictated by the limits of the potentiometer input.
For example, if VSPD is OFF, with SPEED set to 1500 RPM and V. SPEED set to 5 RPM, then the lower end of the potent will set the
requested speed to 1495 RPM and the upper end will set it to 1505 RPM. (Based on a 5k potentiometer).

In Variable Speed Mode, V.SPEED represents the maximum speed and SPEED parameter represents the minimum speed. For
example, VSPD is ON, and SPEED is set to 1000 and V. SPEED set to 2000, then the lower end of the pot is set to 1000 and the
upper end is set to 2000. The center of the pot is 1500 (assuming linear taper).

in Steps 1 through 3. Positive (+) and negative (-) refer to meter polarity. Should normal values be indicated during trouble-

 Insufficient Magnetic Speed Signal
A strong magnetic speed sensor signal will eliminate the
possibility of missed or extra pulses. While the speed control
unit will govern well with 0.5V AC RMS speed sensor signal,
a speed sensor signal of 1VAC RMS or greater at cranking
speed is recommended. Measure the signal at Terminals C
and D. Shielding of the pickup wires is recommended.
The amplitude of the speed sensor signal can be raised by
reducing the gap between the speed sensor tip and the en-
gine ring gear. The gap should not be any smaller than 0.020
in (0.45 mm). When the engine is stopped, back the speed
sensor out by 3/4 turn after touching the ring gear tooth to
achieve a satisfactory air gap.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMI SUSCEPTIBILITY - The governor system is rated for
CE levels per EN50082-1 and EN50082-2. However, it can
be adversely affected by large interfering signals that are
conducted through the cabling or through direct radiation
into the control circuits.
Although regulation of emitting devices is better controlled
today it is still difficult to predict levels of interference, ap-
plications that include magnetos, solid sate ignition systems,
radio transmitters, voltage regulators or battery chargers and
they should be considered as suspect as possible interfering
sources. If it is suspected that external fields, either those
that are radiated or conducted, are or will affect the gover-
nor systems operation, it is recommended to use shielded
cable for all external connections to the EDG control. Be sure
that only one end of the shields, including the speed sensor
shield, is connected to a single point on the case of the EDG
speed control unit. Mount the speed control to a grounded
metal back plate or place it in a sealed metal box.
Slow instability can have many causes. If slow instability ex-
ists, verify the SOFT Special Menu parameter is disabled.
If this is unsuccessful, it is possible to decrease the update
rate of the controller. This is done by decreasing the RATE
Advanced parameter. This should be done with extreme
caution and in single increments. Each time RATE is
changed, the GAIN, STABILITY, and DEADTIME must be
re-adjusted.
If slow instability is unaffected by this procedure, evaluate
the fuel system and engine performance. Check the fuel sys-
tem linkage for binding, high friction, or poor linkage is the
moist likely cause. Be sure to check linkage during engine
operation. Also look at the engine fuel system. Irregularities
with carburetion or fuel injection systems can change en-
gine power with a constant throttle setting. This can result in
speed deviations beyond the control of the governor system.
Adding a small amount of droop can help stabilize the sys-
tem for troubleshooting purposes.
NON-PERIODIC instability should respond to the GAIN con-
trol. If increasing the Gain reduces the instability, then the
problem is probably with the engine. Higher gain allows the
governor to respond faster and try to correct for disturbance.
Look for engine mis-firings, an erratic fuel system, or load
changes on the engine generator set voltage regulator.
If unsuccessful in solving instability, contact GAC for assis-
tance.

Radiation is when the interfering signal is radiated directly

through space to the governing system. A metal shield or a
solid metal container is usually effective for this interference.

Conduction is when the interfering signal is conducted

through the interconnecting wiring. Shielded cables and in-
stalling filters are common remedies.

Instability
Instability in a closed loop speed control system can be cat-
egorized into two general types. PERIODIC appears to be si-
nusoidal and at a regular rate. NON-PERIODIC is a random
wandering or an occasional deviation from a steady state
band for no apparent reason.

The PERIODIC type can be further classified as fast or slow

instability. Fast instability is a 3 Hz. or faster irregularity of the
speed and is usually a jitter. Slow periodic instability is below
3 Hz., can be very slow, and is sometimes violent.

If fast instability occurs, this is typically the governor respond-

ing to engine firings. Raising the engine speed increases the
frequency of instability and vice versa. In this case, setting
the LEAD Special parameter to “OFF” position will reduce
this tendency. Readjust the GAIN and STABILITY for opti-
mum control. In extreme cases, this may not take all the jitter
out of the system. In this case, decrease the DEADTIME
parameter.

*Though governing speeds are entered into the EDG in RPM, it is operating range is specified in flywheel frequency. This is because RPM is dependent on the number of teeth specified on the flywheel (#
TEETH parameter). For example, isochronous governing at 1,800 RPM with # TEETH set to 150, the EDG will govern at 4,500 Hz. If variable speed operation is used and the desired operating range is
1,000 to 2,000 RPM, and # TEETH is set to 150, the EDG will govern between 2,500-5,000 Hz.

**Droop is based on a speed sensor frequency of 4000 Hz. and an actuator current change no load to full load. Applications with more actuator current change will experience higher percentages of
droop. See droop description for specific details on operation of droop ranges. When used with the ADC100 actuator the droop percentage will be less due to the actuators low current consumption.

***Protected against reverse voltage by a series diode. A 15 amp fuse must be installed in the positive battery lead.

****Protected against short circuit to actuator (shuts off current to actuator), unit must have a power down reset to resume operation after the short is cleared.
