Checking the Engine Speed

The frequency of the mains voltage is not the same all over the

world.

This frequency can either be 50 or 60 Hz. For example, the fre-

quency in Europe is usually 50 Hz, while in the United States it

is 60 Hz.

The frequency of the generator set will be the same as the mains

frequency in your cruising area.

N.B.: If you want to connect your on-board network to a

dockside connection outside your usual cruising area, take care

to check that both voltage and frequency are the same as that

for your generator set.

The speed of the generator will decrease as the load increases.

So adjust the generator as follows:

All

GHS generator sets:

The RPM for a generator without load is about 3100 rpm

(51.5-Hz).

All

GLS generator sets:

The speed for a generator

without load is about 1550 rpm

(51.5-Hz) or about 1850 rpm (61.5 Hz).

Allow the engine to run until it is warm (coolant temperature

about 60 degrees C (140 deg. F) or higher) before checking the

speed and adjusting, if necessary.

Check the speed using a rev. counter, or use a frequency meter

connected to the

electrical installation.

The correct speed can be set using the adjusting screws on the

fuel pump.
