0V, 110V:
Power Supply
and Sensing Input
* Over Excitation Current Limiting (O/C)
When the excitation current is greater than or exceeds 5A the AVR will reduce the excitation output to limit the
excitation current. At this time the generator output voltage will be in a very unable state (the greater the load the
lower the voltage). Over current protection will not interrupt the excitation field output.
* LAM (Load Acceptance Module) Outline
When the generator experiences momentary increases in load (more 40% of generator capacity) voltage and
engine speed will decrease. The process of recovering voltage and engine speed will produce a situation where
output voltage and engine speed fluctuates. In order to reduce the level of volatility, after a load is added the
engine speed will slow, lowering the total power output of the generator and delaying recovery.
The low frequency knee point setting should be below a nominal setting for 2 Hz to cause the output voltage and
engine speed to have a smooth recovery.
The LAM function allows choice of reduction settings of 13% and 25%. If the generator has a fluid drive (hydro) it
is recommended not to use the LAM function.

50 Hz Systems
0: Under Frequency knee point 48 Hz, LAM function
“OFF”. Use when transient loads are below 40% of
rated generator capacity.
1: Under Frequency knee point 48 Hz, LAM function
set to (13%), Use when transient loads are
between 40 – 70% of rated generator capacity.
2: Under Frequency knee point 48 Hz, LAM function
set to (25%). Use when transient loads are greater
than 70% of rated generator capacity.
60 Hz Systems
3: Under Frequency knee point 58 Hz, LAM function
“OFF”. Use when transient loads are below 40% of
rated generator capacity.
4: Under Frequency knee point 58 Hz, LAM function
set to (13%), Use when transient loads are
between 40 – 70% of rated generator capacity.
5: Under Frequency knee point 58 Hz, LAM function
set to (25%). Use when transient loads are greater
than 70% of rated generator capacity.
Special Systems
6: Under frequency knee point 57 Hz, LAM function
“OFF”. Under a load, engine speed variations can
be greater than 2 Hz.
7: Under frequency knee point 65 Hz, LAM function
“OFF”.
8: Factory setting of the Under Frequency knee point
is 48 Hz and LAM function “OFF”. This option is
supplied for special projects, which must be
ordered separately and are set at the factory.
9: Under frequency knee point 47.5 Hz,LAM function
“OFF”. Under a load, engine speed variations can
be greater than 2 Hz.

ATTENTION
1. Before using a Megger or a Withstand Voltage Tester, removes the wires connecting to the AVR to
prevent high voltage damage to the regulator.
2. Improper setting of under-frequency protection could cause the output voltage of the unit to drop or
become unstable under with changes in load. Avoid making any changes to the U/F setting unless
necessary.
