3-2. OPERATION
CAUTION
With the voltage control mode switch in either MANUAL or
OFF position, some terminals of the regulator are connected
to the generator and present a potential shock hazard. No at-
tempt should be made to remove or troubleshoot the regulator
while the generator is running.

a. With the AUTO-OFF-MANUAL voltage control mode switch placed in MANUAL, the automatic
voltage regulator is removed from the line and generator output voltage is controlled manually by
the MANUAL VOLTAGE ADJUST control. When placed in the AUTOMATIC position, the
generator output voltage is controlled by the automatic voltage regulator. Complete excitation
shutdown occurs when the voltage control mode switch is placed in the OFF position.
b. Start the prime mover following the manufacturer's procedure, set the MANUAL VOLTAGE
ADJUST control to minimum (counter-clockwise), and place the AUTOMATIC-OFF-MANUAL
voltage control mode switch in MANUAL position. Note that the voltage may be unstable (hunting)
if the MANUAL VOLTAGE ADJUST control is set below 30 Vac.
c. Allow the generator to build-up and slowly increase the generator output voltage with the MANU-
AL VOLTAGE ADJUST control until the generator output voltage reaches the desired level.
To verify that the MVC-301 is operating properly, use the following procedure and the connections
of Figure 3-4 for a bench test. Notice that the voltage regulator is not necessary for this test.
(1)
With no power applied to the MVC-301 and all connections to the voltage regulator
removed, place the AUTO-OFF-MANUAL voltage control mode switch to the
MANUAL position.
(2)
Connect a 120 Vac 100 Watt light bulb to terminals F+ and F- of the MVC-301, and
connect the jumper to Terminal 63.
