Installation Guide

1. Verify power supply polarity: 24 V DC typical, 8–32 V DC range.
2. Connect magnetic pickup or speed sensor to designated input terminals for speed reference.
3. Wire 4–20 mA / 0–10 V process signals to analog I/O for load and power factor control.
4. Configure communication ports (RS-232/485 or Ethernet) for Modbus/EGD integration.
5. Load MSLC/DSLC application program via Woodward Toolkit or MSLC configuration software.
6. Perform loop tests and verify speed accuracy, synchronization timing, and load sharing before commissioning.
7. Calibrate phase angle and voltage matching parameters for generator paralleling.
