Instruction Leaflet

For adjustment and troubleshooting

of the boost pressure and start fuel
limit device of the

1115 type Hydraulic Governor

WARNING
Adjustment of the boost pressure and / or start fuel limit device

! of the 1115 governor is to be done by qualified personnel only!

Failing to do so may result in serious injury and / or damage!

In order to reduce the emission

of smoke when the engine is
started or if a step load is applied
to the engine, a fuel limiting de-
vice may be fitted on the 1115
governors.
This fuel limiting device may be
operated by the receiver (boost)
pressure, or from a electrical sig-
nal. In that instance it acts as a
start fuel limit device only.

This leaflet shows how these

limiters may be adjusted.

Please note:
The pictures shown are from a
1115 governor (see fig.1). How-
ever the fuel limit device of the
other governor types of the 1100
series are identical!

 In order to make this adjustment
the top cover of the governor must
be removed.

Depending of the build, the gover-

nor will look similar to figure 2. This
is the 1115R governor, equipped
with a boost pressure fuel limiter,
with override.

The fuel limit function may be over-

ridden by energising the solenoid
valve. In that instance an external
6 bar air pressure is applied to the
fuel limit servo, having the affect of
full boost pressure and therefore no
limitation.

Figure 3 shows the 1115L gover-

nor.
This governor is equipped with an
electrical operated start fuel limit
device.
Operation of the start fuel limit sole-
noid is done external from the gov-
ernor.

 In the 1115R governor the boost pres-
sure signal from the receiver, which is
connected to the governor, is converted
by means of a servo into a proportional
position of the servo output lever see
figure 4 .

The travel of this lever is determent by

the strength of a spring in the servo and
the range of the applied boost pressure
and cannot be adjusted.

However the corresponding position to

which the output shaft of the governor is
limited at a given boost pressure can be
set and adjusted. More Pressure

Below is a typical curve for the boost Pressure Fuel Limit.

Please note that the boost pressure range is dependant on the type of
turbo charger.

The governor output

position is indicated by
the output scale and
pointer.
Normal setting:
Position 2 is no-load.
Position 8 is full-load.

Figure 6 shows the 3 adjustments facilities to obtain the correct fuel limit curve.

1. The gain is set by means of the position of “A” in the slotted hole.
2. The set point adjustment is done by the length of ”B”.
3. The maximum fuel when starting, i.e. the maximum governor output position
available if no boost pressure is available may be adjusted with the position of
cap screw “C”.

 Set Point

Fig. 7

To offset the limit curve; the length of the setpoint connection must be changed . If the
length is made shorter, at a given boost pressure a higher governor output position (more
fuel) will be allowed. If made longer the device will limit at a lower output position.

If it is found that the fuel limit curve is set to close, i.e. it does not
allow the engine to accelerate, the preferred adjustment is to off-
set the curve only.
Reduce the length of this connecting rod by loosening both nuts
(RH and LH thread!) and turn the rod to adjust the length. Do not
! adjust more than 2 turns without testing the result!
Alternatively the same can be done by adjusting the position of
rod X on the uniball. If the rod is turned CCW (moves upwards)
more fuel is allowed.

 More Gain

Less Gain

Fig. 8

The gain of the fuel limit curve versus the given boost pressure range can be
set with the “length” of the servo output lever.
To check the position of the fuel limit function, after each adjustment the boost
pressure must be increased to the maximum value. Also, because the gain ad-
justment affects the setpoint, the position of the limit curve at minimum boost
pressure is to be checked again!
Because of this it is recommended to adjust the gain setting only if the governor
is on a governor testrig.

 Max. Fuel when starting

Fig. 9

The maximum output position to which the governor may open if the engine is
started and no boost pressure is present yet, can be set with the position of cap-
screw “C”. If the capscrew is turned down the governor will move to a higher
position.

In the event that the servo is defected f.i. if the diaphragm

! is damadged, the fuel limit function may be disabled by
screwing cap screw “C” down until the servo output lever
is in it’s lowest position.

 ELECTICAL OPERATED START FUEL LIMIT

Fig. 7

The electrical operated Start Fuel Limit will limit the position
of the output shaft of the governor when starting the engine.
If the solenoid is energised oil will flow under the piston in B
housing “B”. The piston will move up until it is stopped by C
stop “C”. This is the position of the piston for Start Fuel Lim-
iting. Positioned in the piston is rod “A” which operates the
limit device.
The position to which the output shaft is set by means of the
length of rod “A”. To adjust loosen nut “D” and turn rod “A”.

If rod “A” is made shorter the output shaft of the governor

will be limited at a higher position, more fuel.
!
If rod “A” is made longer the output shaft of the governor will
be limited at a lower position, less fuel.

 ELECTICAL OPERATED START FUEL LIMIT

Mal Function

In case the electrical operated Start Fuel Limit does not return to its “Off” position the fuel
rack is constantly limited to 40 to 50% engine load. This may be caused by the fact that the
solenoid is continuously energised or because of sticking of the hydraulic valve. If this
problems occurs apply the following procedure.

Remove the top cover from the governor.

Start the engine.
Check if, while the engine is running if the
Start Fuel Limit solenoid is energised.
If this is the case the problem is in the engine
Start / Stop logic.
As a temporally solution dis-connect and iso-
late one of the wires to the solenoid. In this
way the Start Fuel Limiter is disabled.
If the solenoid is not energised while the en-
gine is running but the Start Fuel Limit re-
mains in On position, this may be caused be-
cause the valve which operates the device is
sticking.

24 Vdc if energized

In order to check the valve the engine
must be stopped.

While the engine is stopped:

Remove the 2 capscrews which hold
the mounting plate of the solenoid.

2 Capscrews M5

If the solenoid and mounting plate

have been removed the valve operat-
ed by the solenoid is visible.

Pub. 1100 Series Fuel Limit Adjustment 10

Remove the valve retainer and next the
valve, pay attention to the small spring!

While the valve is removed run the en-

gine on start air only!
Because of this there will be oil flow to
the Start Fuel Limit device.
Re-assemble the valve, iThe valve
must be able to move up and down
without sticking!
Fit the valve retainer and the solenoid.
Next start the engine. Observe the
Start fuel Limit linkage. When the en-
gine is running it must return to it’s off
position.
Fit the top cover.
