Section 1 General Information ...............................................................................................................3
The DVR2000E is an electronic, solid-state, microprocessor-based control device. The DVR2000E regulates the
output voltage of a brushless, ac generator by controlling the current into the generator exciter eld. Input power
to the DVR2000E is from a multi-pole, high-frequency, permanent magnet generator (PMG).
The DVR2000E is supplied in an encapsulated package designed for behind-the-panel mounting. The DVR2000E
is held in place by thread-forming screws that thread into its plastic shell. Front panel indicators (LEDs) annunciate
regulator status and system conditions. DVR2000E connections are made through quarter-inch, quick-connect
terminals on the rear panel. A 9-pin DB-9 type connector on the rear panel provides communication between the
DVR2000E and an IBM compatible PC.
FEATURES
DVR2000E units have the following features and capabilities.
•Four control modes: automatic voltage regulation (AVR), manual or eld current regulation (FCR), power
factor (PF) regulation, and reactive power (Var) regulation.

CAUTION
Read and understand the operation of the individual adjustments before attempting any initial adjustments.
Before starting the generator, the procedures in the following paragraphs should be performed.
Remove the 5 ampere fuse before starting the generator for the rst time. Perform all preliminary engine governor
adjustments without the regulator energized.
After initial governor adjustments are complete, reinstall the 5 ampere fuse and connect only the power input
leads or PMG leads to the regulator. Remove all other regulator connections that may be present and temporarily
insulate them.
Start and run the generator at rated speed. The regulator will perform the self-test and enter a shutdown mode. At
this time, initial adjustments can be made. To do this, step through each adjustment using the “SELECT” button.
For each adjustment, press the “UP” or “DOWN” button to obtain the desired level on the LED bar graph.
After the initial adjustments are made, shut down the generator and connect the remaining regulator leads. The
generator may be started and nal adjustments may be performed on the regulator.

MAKING SETTINGS CHANGES
The following paragraphs describe how the HMI is used to make setting changes.
Front Panel Operation
The LEDs indicate control mode and status conditions and are also used when adjusting settings at the front
panel. Repeatedly pressing the “SELECT” button steps through the various adjustments, starting with the “Course
Voltage” adjustment and progressing through to the “Fine Voltage” adjustment. The next press of the “SELECT”
button exits the adjustment mode.
When in the adjustment mode, only the adjustment LEDs will be lit. All mode status LEDs will be turned off.
Adjustment LEDs are of two types. The rst type is the LED that indicates the function being adjusted. This LED
blinks slowly (approximately once per second). The second type is the LED that indicates the level of adjustment.
This LED is on steady. The level of adjustment is changed by pressing the “UP” or “DOWN” button. When an
adjustment level LED (on steady) overlaps the function LED (slow blinking), the LED will remain in the slow
blinking mode. If no button is pressed for a period of one minute, the regulator saves the settings and exits the
adjustment mode. If regulator power is interrupted before the automatic save feature is commanded, that level of
adjustment will be lost.
When the regulator is not in the adjustment mode and either the “UP” or “DOWN” button is pressed, the regulator
enters the “Fine Voltage” adjustment mode and changes the generator ne voltage set point by 0.1V. Successive
presses of the “UP” or “DOWN” button shall continue to adjust the ne voltage setting. Pressing the “SELECT”
button causes the regulator to exit the adjustment mode. Mode status LEDs blink approximately twice per
second.

COMMUNICATION PORT
A communication port is located on the rear panel
and consists of a female RS-232 (DB-9) connector.
The communication port serves as an interface for
programming (setup) of the DVR2000E. Figure 2-2
illustrates the location of the communication port.
Programming requires a standard 9-pin serial
communication cable connected between the
DVR2000E and an IBM-compatible PC or handheld
computer operating with MARATHON-DVR2000E-32
software. MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 is a Windows®
98/NT based communication software package that is
supplied with the DVR2000E. A detailed description
of MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 software is provided in
Section 5, MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 Software.
This section describes how the DVR2000E functions and explains its operating features. To ease understanding,
DVR2000E functions are illustrated in the block diagram of Figure 3-1. A detailed description of each function
block is provided in the paragraphs under the heading of DVR2000E Function Blocks.
DVR2000E operating features include four operating modes, four protective functions, startup provisions, reactive
droop compensation, underfrequency compensation, and an auxiliary analog input. A detailed description of each
operating feature is provided in the paragraphs under the heading of DVR2000E Operating Features.

Generator Voltage
Generator voltage is monitored at terminals E1 (A-phase), E2 (B-phase), and E3 (C-phase). Nominal voltages of

Phase B Line Current
The phase B line current (IB) signal is developed through a customer supplied current transformer (CT) and
monitored through terminals CT1 and CT2. Current up to 5 amperes rms may be monitored at these terminals.
The current monitored at these terminals is scaled and conditioned by an internal current transformer and active
circuitry for use by the ADC. The signal applied to the ADC is used to calculate the rms value of phase B line
current.
Additionally, the phase angle between phase B line current and phase C to phase A generator voltage is calculated

CAUTION
The DVR2000E CT connections are reversed from the DVR2000.
Field Voltage (VFIELD)
Voltage across the regulator eld output terminals, F+ and F-, is monitored, scaled, and conditioned before being
applied to the ADC. This signal is used to calculate the dc value of eld voltage for use in system protection.
Field Current (IFIELD)
Current through the main power output switch is converted to a proportional voltage level. This voltage signal is
scaled and conditioned before being applied to the input of the ADC. The result is used to calculate the dc value
of eld current for use in the Manual mode of operation as well as protection of the system.
Analog (Auxiliary) Input
CAUTION
If the DC voltage is removed from the Analog (Auxiliary) Input, the operating setpoint will
return to the original value.
This input allows adjustment of the DVR-2000E regulation setpoint by the application of a positive or negative
dc voltage across terminals A and B. Voltage up to +3 Vdc may be applied at this input. The circuit induces a
1,000-ohm burden on the dc source. The application of a +3 Vdc signal corresponds to a +30 percent change in
setpoint.
Contact Input Circuits
Four contact input circuits powered from an internal 13 Vdc supply provide input control from user-supplied
contacts.

Raise
Closing a contact across terminals 6U and 7 causes the active operating setpoint to increase. This function is
active as long as the contact is closed.
Lower
Closing a contact across terminals 6D and 7 causes the active operating setpoint to decrease. This function is
active as long as the contact is closed.
Var/Power Factor Control (52J/K) Option
Closing a contact across terminals 52J and 52K disables var/power factor control. An open contact enables the
DVR2000E(C) to control the generator reactive power in either the var or the power factor mode. The contact has
no effect when this option is not present. For more information, refer to the Parallel Generator Compensation
(52L/M) contact input.
Parallel Generator Compensation (52L/M)
Closing a contact across terminals 52L and 52M disables parallel operation. An open contact enables parallel
operation and the DVR2000E operates in reactive droop compensation mode.
If the Var/Power Factor Control option is present, the 52J/K input has priority. Therefore, if the 52J/K and the 52L/M
inputs are both open, the system operates in var/power factor mode.
Communication Port
The communication port provides the interface for user programming (setup) of the DVR2000E. Connection is
made to the female RS-232 (DB-9) connector with a user-supplied, standard 9-pin cable. The communication port
is optically isolated and is powered from a transformer-isolated supply.
Microprocessor
The microprocessor is the heart of the DVR2000E and performs measurement, computation, control, and
communication functions by the use of its embedded programming and the nonvolatile settings stored in its
memory.
Power Input Stage
Input power is applied to terminals 3 and 4 from the PMG. It is rectied and ltered before being applied to the
power amplier and the power supply. Input power is single-phase in the range of 180 to 240 Vac at a frequency
of 200 to 360 hertz.
Power Supply
The internal switch-mode power supply receives power from the power input stage and supplies power at the
required dc voltage levels to the internal circuitry of the DVR2000E.
Power Amplier Stage
The power amplier receives power from the power input stage and supplies a controlled amount of power to the
exciter eld via terminals F+ and F-. The amount of power supplied to the exciter eld is based on gating pulses
received from the microprocessor. The power amplier uses a solid state power switch to provide the required
power to the exciter eld. Power amplier output to the eld is rated up to 75 Vdc at 3 Adc continuous and 150
Vdc at 7.5 Adc for 10 seconds.
Front Panel Indicators
Twelve front panel LED indicators light to indicate various operating modes, protective functions, and adjustments.

Front Panel Switches
Changes to settings can be made at the front panel using the three pushbutton switches. These push-buttons are
labeled Select, Up, and Down. Section 2, Human-Machine Interface provides more in-formation about the front
panel switches.
Relay Output
A common alarm output contact is provided through terminals AL1 and AL2. This normally open, form A contact
annunciates alarm or generator trip conditions and closes in the event of a protective shutdown or transfer. The
relay output is non-latching.
DVR2000E OPERATING FEATURES
The following paragraphs describe the characteristics of each DVR2000E operating feature.
Operating Modes
The DVR2000E provides up to four modes of operation selectable through Windows® or Palm OS® communication
software. Automatic voltage regulation mode and Manual mode are standard features. Var and Power Factor
modes are an option.
Automatic Voltage Regulation Mode
In Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) mode, the DVR2000E regulates rms generator output voltage. This is
accomplished by sensing generator output voltage and adjusting dc output excitation current to maintain voltage
at the regulation setpoint. The regulation setpoint is adjusted by the Raise and Lower contact inputs, front panel
switches, or through Windows® or Palm OS® communication software. The regulation point may also be modied
by the Droop function or the Underfrequency function under certain conditions.
ection
S
3
Manual Mode
In Manual mode, also known as Field Current Regulation (FCR) mode, the DVR2000E maintains dc excitation
current at a set level. The current-level setpoint is adjustable from 0 to 3 Adc by the Raise and Lower contact
inputs, front panel switches, or through Windows® or Palm OS® communication software.
WARNING!
The Manual mode excitation level must be evaluated prior to enabling this feature. If the level of
excitation current is inappropriate for the generator, severe damage to the generator may occur.
For initial startup, if the regulator is in Manual mode and set at 0.25 amperes, the generator should come up to
approximately half-voltage. This allows wiring and sensing leads to be checked before the regulator is switched to
AVR mode. Increasing the eld current to 0.5 amperes will bring the generator up to approximately rated, no-load
voltage.
Var Control Mode (Optional)
In Var Control mode, the DVR2000E(C) maintains generator vars (volt-amperes, reactive) at a set level when
paralleling with an innite bus. The DVR2000E(C) calculates generator vars using the sensed generator output
voltage and current quantities and then adjusts the dc excitation current to maintain vars at the setpoint. Var control
is enabled and disabled through the front panel switches, Windows® or Palm OS® communication software.
When the software is turned on, var control is enabled or disabled through the Var/Power Factor Control (52J/K)
contact input circuit. The var setpoint is adjustable from 100 percent absorb to 100 percent generate through the
Raise and Lower contact inputs, front panel switches, or through Windows® or Palm OS® software.
Power Factor Control Mode (Optional)
In Power Factor Control mode, the DVR2000E(C) maintains generator power factor at a set level when paralleling

with an innite bus. The DVR2000E(C) calculates generator power factor using the sensed generator output
voltage and current quantities and then adjusts the dc excitation current to maintain power factor at the setpoint.
Power factor control is enabled or disabled through the front panel switches, Windows® or Palm OS® software.
When the software is turned on, it is enabled or disabled through the Var/Power Factor Control (52J/K) contact
input circuit. The power factor setpoint is adjustable between 0.6 lag and 0.6 lead through the Raise and Lower
contact inputs, front panel switches, or through Windows® or Palm OS® communication software.
Reactive Droop Compensation
The DVR2000E provides a reactive droop compensation feature to assist in the sharing of reactive load during
parallel generator operation. When this feature is enabled, the DVR2000E calculates the reactive portion of the
generator load using the sensed generator output voltage and current quantities and then modies the voltage
regulation setpoint accordingly. A unity power factor generator load results in almost no change in generator
output voltage. A lagging power factor generator load (inductive) results in a reduction of generator output voltage.
A leading power factor generator load (capacitive) results in an increase of generator output voltage. Droop
is adjustable up to 10 percent with rated, nominal B-phase line current (5 amperes applied through terminals
CT1 and CT2) and 0.8 power factor. The droop feature is enabled and disabled through the Parallel Generator
Compensation contact input circuit (terminals 52L and 52M). If the Var/Power Factor option is present, the 52J/K
input must also be closed to disable droop.
Underfrequency
Generator Underfrequency
When generator frequency drops below the selected knee frequency setpoint, the voltage setpoint is automatically
adjusted by the DVR2000E so that generator voltage follows the selected PU (per unit) V/Hz curve. When
operating on the selected PU V/Hz curve, the Underfrequency Active indicator ashes on the front panel and in
MARATHON-DVR2000E-32. The knee frequency is adjustable from 40 to 65 hertz and the PU V/Hz curve may
be set to a slope from 1 to 3 in increments of 0.01 through the Windows® or Palm OS® communication software.
The default is 59 Hz and a slope of 1.
Engine Unloading
The Engine Unloading feature modies the underfrequency curve. This feature becomes active when the generator
frequency decreases a programmable amount (Unloading Activation – Frequency) below the knee frequency
setpoint, and when the speed change rate is greater than the Unloading Activation - Rate. The amount of droop
while Engine Unloading is active is adjusted by the Unloading Droop - Percentage (%) setting. The amount of time
Engine Unloading is active is set by Unloading Droop - Time (sec.).
Engine unloading adjustments are made through the Windows and Palm OS communication software.
Unloading Activation – Frequency (Hz) is entered as a value below the underfrequency corner where the engine
unloading feature may be activated. A frequency value of 0.9 to 9.0 hertz can be entered in 0.1 hertz increments.
The default value is 0.9 hertz.
Unloading Activation – Rate (Hz/25 msec) of 0 to 25.5 hertz per 25 milliseconds can be entered in 0.1 hertz per
25 millisecond increments. The engine unloading feature is activated when the frequency rate of change exceeds
the setting of this eld. The default value is 0.1.
Unloading Droop – Percentage (%) eld denes the percent drop in generator output voltage for each 1.5 percent
decrease in generator frequency when operating in the Engine Unloading mode. The Unloading Droop Percentage
is adjustable from 1 to 20 percent in 1 percent steps. The default value is 10 percent.
Unloading Droop – Time (sec) value denes the length of time that the Engine Unloading mode may be active
before control is passed to the normal Underfrequency mode of operation. Droop time is adjustable from 1 to 5
seconds in 1 second increments. The default value is 1 second.
Protection
The DVR2000E has the six protective functions listed below:

•Overexcitation shutdown
•Generator overvoltage shutdown
•DVR overtemperature shutdown
•Loss of generator sensing shutdown
•Overexcitation limiting
•Crowbar shutdown
Each function, except Crowbar Shutdown, has a corresponding front panel indicator that lights when the function
is active. An active function (except Crowbar Shutdown) is also annunciated through the Windows® or Palm OS®
communication software.
Overexcitation Shutdown (Field Voltage)
This function is enabled or disabled through MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 software. When enabled, if eld voltage
exceeds the setpoint (80 Vdc default), the Overexcitation Shutdown indicator ashes on the front panel and in the
Windows® or Palm OS® communication software, the relay output closes after 15 seconds and the DVR2000E
shuts down. When the DVR2000E is powered up following an over-excitation shutdown, the Overexcitation
Shutdown indicator will ash for 5 seconds.
Generator Overvoltage Shutdown
The DVR2000E monitors the sensed generator output voltage. If it exceeds the overvoltage setpoint (a percent
of nominal) for 0.75 seconds, the Generator Overvoltage indicator ashes on the front panel LED and in the
Windows® and Palm OS® communication software, the relay output closes and the DVR2000E shuts down.
When the DVR2000E is powered up following a generator overvoltage shutdown, the Generator Overvoltage
indicator will ash for 5 seconds. The default setpoint is 120 percent of nominal.

DVR Overtemperature Shutdown
A temperature sensor within the DVR2000E continually monitors the temperature of the device. If the temperature
exceeds 70°C (158°F), the DVR Overtemperature indicator ashes on the front panel and in the Windows® and
Palm OS® communication software, the relay output closes and the DVR2000E shuts down.
Loss of Generator Sensing Shutdown
The DVR2000E monitors the sensed generator output voltage and takes protective action if a loss of sensing
voltage is detected. For single-phase sensing, a sensed voltage of less than 50 percent of nominal is interpreted
as a loss of sensing. For three-phase sensing, the total loss of a sensed phase or an imbalance between phases
of more than 20 percent nominal is interpreted as a loss of sensing. When sensing input continuity is not lost, an
adjustable time delay of 0 to 25 seconds is present when a loss of sensing condition is detected. If sensing input
continuity is lost, the time delay is disabled.
If a loss of sensing occurs, the Loss of Generator Sensing indicator ashes on the front panel and in the Windows®
and Palm OS® communication software, the relay output closes, and the DVR2000E shuts down. When the
DVR2000E is powered up following a loss of generator sensing shutdown, the Loss of Sensing indication will
ash for 5 seconds.
This function is disabled when a generator short circuit condition is detected or when sensed frequency drops
below 12Hz. A generator short-circuit is determined when the phase B CT current exceeds 3PU (>15 Aac sensing
current). Loss of sensing is not active during soft start time.
Overexcitation Limiting (Field Current)
The DVR2000E has a eld current limit that is factory preset at 6.5 amperes. The limit is adjustable from 0 to 7.5
amperes with an adjustable time delay that has a range of 0 to 10 seconds. Both settings are made through the
Windows® and Palm OS® communication software. When the overexcitation limit is exceeded, the Overexcitation
Limiting indicator ashes on the front panel and in the Windows® and Palm OS® communication software. When
the adjustable time delay expires, the relay output closes and the DVR2000E shuts down. When the DVR2000E is
powered up following overexcitation limiting, the Overexcitation Limiting indicator will ash for 5 seconds.

Crowbar Shutdown
The Crowbar Shutdown Circuit protects the generator rotor from overcurrent damage resulting from a shorted
DVR2000E power switch. During operation, if the eld voltage exceeds the setpoint and the power stage receives
no gating pulses for 1.5 seconds, the Crowbar Circuit activates and places a short-circuit across the DVR2000E
input power terminals. This protects the generator by blowing the input power fuse and removing operating power
from the device.
Generator Soft Start
The DVR2000E incorporates an adjustable soft start feature that controls the time for generator voltage to ramp
to the regulation setpoint. The ramp rate is adjustable from 1 to 120 seconds in 1 second increments through the
Windows® and Palm OS® communication software. The underfrequency feature is also active during soft start
and takes priority in control of the generator voltage. The default setting is 7 seconds.
