4.0 Preventive Maintenance
The AIDCO Model 900 Transmission and Hydraulic Component Test Center is designed to provide
years of trouble free service with a minimum amount of regular maintenance. This section describes
normal maintenance procedures.

4.1 Oil and Filters


An adequate supply of clean hydraulic fluid must be maintained in the reservoirs at all times. Oil is
needed to keep the test stand's components lubricated. Problems with the operation of the machine are
usually the result of low or dirty oil. Check the oil level daily. The sight level gauge for the main reservoir
is located on the left side of the machine. The sight level gauge for the hydrostatic reservoir is located
on the back of the test stand.

Keep the oil clean. There are several 3-micron and 10-micron filters in the test stand (actual number
depending on options or configuration). As they get contaminated, it becomes more difficult for the oil to
flow through the filters, causing a pressure differential between the inlet and outlet side of the return line
filters to the main reservoir or high vacuum in the suction filter to the hydrostatic reservoir.

Changing the Oil


With continued use of the machine, oil in the main reservoir will need to be changed due to
accumulated dirt, regardless of filter maintenance. The oil change interval depends on frequency of
use, cleanliness of components being tested, and shop and operating conditions. Ideally, oil should
be tested periodically at a laboratory. If this is not possible, clues to oil quality can be found by feeling
for grit and sludge, by visually inspecting the color of the oil as compared to new oil, and by smelling
the oil to detect chemical change or overheating. It is good practice to change the oil in the hydrostatic
reservoir when changing the main reservoir oil.

Main Reservoir Kidney Loop Filter


The Main Reservoir Kidney Loop contains a 3-micron filter. The filter indicator light on the gauge panel
is set to activate when a significant differential pressure between the inlet and outlet sides of the filter
occurs. At higher pressures, oil bypasses the filter and returns directly to the reservoir. Refer to the
Filter Specifications section in the Appendix for more information.

Main Reservoir Sump Filter


The Main Reservoir Sump system is filtered by a 10-micron filter. The filter indicator light on the gauge
panel is set to activate when a significant differential pressure between the inlet and outlet sides of the
filter occurs. Refer to the Filter Specifications section in the Appendix for more information.

Main Reservoir Return to Tank Filters


The two 10-micron filters in the Main Reservoir of the test stand receive a common flow. The filter
indicator lights on the gauge panel are set to activate at approximately 20 PSI differential pressure
(the filter bypasses at 25 PSI) between the inlet and outlet sides of the filters. At higher pressures, oil
bypasses the filters and returns directly to the reservoir. When the indicator light for the corresponding
filter is lit, the filter element requires changing. The filter's condition can also be read on the visual
indicators located on the filters.


4.0 Preventive Maintenance
Main Reservoir Aux Pump Servo Filter
The Aux Pump Servo is filtered by a 3-micron filter. The filter indicator light on the gauge panel is set to
activate at approximately 20 PSI differential pressure (the filter bypasses at 30 PSI) between the inlet
and outlet sides of the filter.

Hydrostatic Reservoir Filters


The hydrostatic charge and servo filters are located just inside test stand directly above the sump
pump. As the filters become contaminated, the amount of suction required to draw oil through the filter
increases. The filter indicator lights on the gauge panel are set to activate at approximately 8 in. Hg
(eight inches of mercury). Change the filter element by loosening and removing the entire cartridge.

4.2 Electric Motors


Periodically inspect the main electric motor and the sump pump motor for dirt, friction and vibration.
Dust can be blown away from inaccessible locations with compressed air. Keep ventilation openings
clear to allow the free passage of air. Wipe away grease or oil with a rag and petroleum solvent.

 he main electric motor is equipped with double-shield ball bearings with sufficient
T
grease to last for 3,500 operating hours under normal conditions. If the test stand is
 Note used in a dirty, wet or corrosive environment, it is advisable to add one-quarter ounce
of grease per bearing every three months. Use a high quality lithium base grease, see
appendix for specifications.

4.3 Heat Exchangers


The heat exchangers can become contaminated from oil, grease, rust and scale. Clean as necessary.
First, drain the tubes completely by blowing them out with compressed air. Then, use a cleaning solvent
to remove oil, sludge and other deposits. Allow the solvent to flow through the heat exchangers in the
direction opposite normal flow for approximately 15 minutes. (The exact length of time depends on the
degree of dirt deposits.) If the heat exchanger is disassembled for cleaning, new gaskets should be
used for re-assembly. During disassembly, care should be taken in handling the tube bundle to protect
the baffle plates and tubes from bending or receiving other damage.

Closed Water Cooling System


If a closed water cooling system is used, a corrosion preventative should be added to the water. This
treatment is effective under normal operating conditions for a period of six months, after which the
system should be drained and filled with new solution. Additionally, if the test stand is installed where
there is a chance of freezing on shutdown, the water circuit should be completely drained or antifreeze
should be added to the system.

4.0 Preventive Maintenance
4.4 Relief Valves
The test stand’s primary valves are mounted at various points inside of the main test stand's frame. The
valves were adjusted at the factory and normally do not require re-adjustment. Failure to build pressure
in any of the test stand’s major systems can be the result of long-term decay in valve function or dirt in
the valve control.

5.0 General Information
This section outlines the AIDCO Model 900 Transmission and Hydraulic Component Test Center's
electric, water, and adapter kit requirements; introduces the test stand’s primary systems; presents
specifications concerning your machine; and references the major optional equipment available from
AIDCO.

5.1 Requirements
The test stand is self-contained. In order to use it, you will need only electricity, water, oil and the
appropriate adapter kits.

Electricity
The electric motor has been wired at the factory to match the electrical service requirements specified
by your company or organization. If an electric motor starter was shipped as part of the original
equipment order, it was also pre-wired at the factory. If the motor starter was not provided with the test
stand, consult an electrician.

Water
A clean water supply of 60 GPM at 30 PSI at 85° F is required to operate the test stand’s heat
exchangers at continuous load.

Oil
The test stand is designed run with a variety of hydraulic and transmission oils. Refer to the Oil
Specifications sheet found in the Appendix.

Adapter Kits
The test stand is designed to test a wide range of hydraulic components. Adapter kits are used to
mount test equipment and attach it to the test stand. AIDCO has a large variety of adapters in inventory.
Several categories of adapter kits are available. Contact your AIDCO sales representative for more
details.

5.2 Primary Hydraulic Systems and Their Functions


The primary hydraulic systems of the test stand consist of the Hydrostatic Drive System, the Oil Flow
Out System, and the Diagnostic Recirculation Loops. The systems and their controls and monitoring
instruments are described in detail in the following pages.

11
5.0 General Information
Hydrostatic Drive System
Functionally, the test stand's Main Drive System acts as a hydrostatic power transmission. The
hydrostatic drive offers greater flexibility and adaptability than other forms of power transmission. The
main drive consists of the electric motor which turns a hydraulic pump, producing a flow of oil under
pressure. The oil is transmitted through hoses to a hydraulic motor and, by turning the motor, creates
mechanical power. The output shaft of the hydraulic motor drives components under test. Controls on
the hydrostatic system enable the test stand operator to vary the output speed from 0 to 3,400 rpm in
either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of rotation. The drive system is highly reliable and
easily maintained.

5.0 General Information
Diagnostic Recirculation Loops
There are several oil-monitoring loops which are used to monitor oil flowing from the test component.
These loops require fluid from the component under test. These loops simply monitor the pressure
or flow from the component or the test bench itself. Depending on the system used, the oil passes
through a flow meter or a pressure adjust (load) valve or both and then returns to the component under
test or the main tank. The test stand also has test pressure gauges, which can be used to monitor
various pressures in components under test.

The test stand is shipped in two sections. The main unit measures approximately 14' x 7' x 8' (LxWxH)
crated. The work support sump measures approximately 12' x 6' x 3' crated.

Main Unit
Carefully unwrap the main unit and position it in the place reserved for the test stand.

Make certain that the machine is level to ensure proper operation. If needed, resilient
 Note shims should be used to distribute the load evenly.

Work Support Sump


Unwrap the work support sump. Remove all cartons and parts packed with it. The cartons contain
adapter kits for mounting test components or attaching them to the test stand. Set them aside for
unpacking and individual storage.

Position the work support sump by centering the output drive shaft of the main unit between the T-slot
bars of the sump. The sump must fit tight against the front of the main unit under the drip guard. Secure
the work support sump in the same manner that the main unit was secured, making certain that the
sump extension is properly attached and level.

6.3 Sump Pump, Water and Electrical Connections


Sump Pump Connection
Connect the work support sump’s drain hose to the sump pump located inside the bottom right side of
the main unit. Connect the float level switches to the main unit.

All required hoses and hardware for making the sump pump connections are supplied. Once in place,
position the grating in the sump cavity.

Water Connections
There are two primary heat exchangers in the test stand’s main unit. One is for the hydrostatic system;

17
6.0 Installation Instructions
the other is for the main reservoir. The water lines to the heat exchangers are connected together; the
1-¼" inlet and 1-½" outlet are located behind the left rear door of the test stand. Connect a water supply
to the inlet pipe and a drain line to the outlet pipe. Maintain a line size at least as large as the water
lines on the test stand.

The automatic water control valve is designed to remain closed to the cooling water until a specified
temperature level is reached. Then, the valve opens allowing water to pass through the heat exchanger
until the oil temperature drops, at which point the water valve closes. The water control valve on the
hydrostatic system heat exchanger operates in the same way.

The temperature settings for hydrostatic and main reservoir are made from the control panel
Adjustments to the heat exchanger settings, if required, should be made later. (See Heat Exchanger
Adjustment in Section 7). The test stand is designed so that during normal use the heat exchangers
operate only occasionally. If a prolonged test is run on a problem component, the heat exchangers will
operate as necessary to maintain proper oil temperatures.

Electrical Connections
When the electric motor starter is shipped as part of the test stand's original equipment, it is pre-wired
at the factory, making the installation simple. Bring the three wires of the 3-phase electric current to the
proper points in the starter box. Make certain the line voltage and frequencies are the same as those
on the main motor tag.

7.0 Start-Up Procedure
This section outlines the AIDCO Model 900C Transmission and Hydraulic Component Test Center
oil reservoirs and fluid requirements; describes oil fill and electrical check operations; and details
procedures for checking the direction of rotation of the main electric motor, priming the hydrostatic
system, pressurizing the flow systems and adjusting the heat exchangers.

7.1 Reservoirs and Fluids


Hydrostatic Reservoir
This 100-gallon reservoir is located on the back of the machine; the oil level sight gauge is on the back
of the reservoir. Verify that the hydrostatic reservoir is filled with oil (supplied by the customer). For
initial fill and oil change purposes use hydraulic transmission oil, automatic transmission oil, or fluids
as specified in the specifications section. Satisfactory operation of the hydrostatic system depends on
specific fluid characteristics.

Cleanliness
Ninety percent of failures in a hydraulic system are due to contamination. The hydraulic components in
the test stand require a cleanliness level of ISO 18/15/13 or better.

Antiwear Qualities
The oil must provide antiwear qualities equal to or better than those found in API classifications MS
crankcase oil.

Viscosity
Viscosity should not fall below 60 SUS in the reservoir under the most adverse operating conditions.
The optimum viscosity is 80 to 180 SUS. Viscosity at the lowest expected start-up temperature should
not exceed 1,000 SUS. In the shop environment, the test stand typically is protected from extreme
temperatures.

Inhibitors
The oil must have rust and oxidation inhibitors in order decrease the potential corrosion rate of the
components used in the test stand.

Barium Additives
The oil must not contain any barium additives.

Water
The test stand's hydrostatic system does not contain any water separators. The system should be
run with a good quality mobile hydraulic oil that will absorb any water due to normal condensation or
minimal contamination, as opposed to an oil that displaces water.

Main Reservoir
This 300-gallon main reservoir comprises the upper left quarter of the main unit, directly above the
main electric motor. The oil level sight gauge for this reservoir is on the end of the reservoir. Standard

19
7.0 Start-Up Procedure
antiwear hydraulic oil or automatic transmission oil (supplied by the customer) is normally used in the
main reservoir.

7.0 Start-Up Procedure
Main Electric Motor Check
All electric motors will rotate in the same direction as supplied by the factory. Follow these instructions
to determine proper rotation:

Operating the test stand components in the improper direction of rotation will

! Caution result in damage to the equipment.

1. Determine if the main electric motor is rotating in the proper direction. Jog the main electric
motor by pushing the MOTOR START and MOTOR STOP switches on the gauge panel. The
motor’s shaft should rotate as indicated by the directional arrows on the pumps supplied.

2. If the shaft of the main electric motor is not rotating properly, you must switch any two of the
three wires on the incoming 3-phase current at the main electric motor starter.

High-Pressure System Checks


Check each of the following:

1. Turn High Pressure adjust in (clockwise) until high pressure flowout on the
gauge panel displays 2,000 psi.

hydraulic motor, which drives components under test, will begin to rotate, recording a reading on
the tachometer. Adjust the speed until 1000 rpm is reached. Hold this speed for approximately
10 minutes.
3. Drop the speed back to zero and proceed to pressurizing the flow systems.

Pressurizing the Flow Systems

1. Turn the main flowout pressure adjust on the gauge panel clockwise approx. half
way.
2. Increase the Main Flow by turning the main FLOW adjust on the flow out panel clockwise
to approx. 40 GPM. FM2 Flowmeter 2, FM3 Flowmeter 3 and FM4 Flowmeter 4
should all display similar readings.
3. FM2, FM3 and FM4 can all be simultaneously pressurized. Turn the fm4 load valve
adjust on the gauge panel in (clockwise) until FM4 LOAD VALVE indicates 1500 PSI.

VALVE indicates 0 PSI. main flowout, fm3 flow valve, and fm3 load valve should
all display similar readings.

Heat Exchanger Adjustment


The heat exchangers can be verified and adjusted now or during the first component test. There
are two digital temperature controllers on the gauge panel, one for the main reservoir and one
for the hydrostatic system. Observe the displays during operation of the test stand. The operating
temperatures of the heat exchangers can be adjusted from the digital controls on the left side of the
gauge panel. These controllers were set during factory run-out, but due to differences in water flow and
temperature, readjustments may be required. The red display indicates the actual temperature and the
green display indicates the set point at which the tank is to cool or heat the fluid within.

8.0 Operation
8.1 Routine Start-Ups
To start the AIDCO Model 900 Transmission and Hydraulic Component Test Center for day-to-day
operation:

Prior to turning on the Control Power key switch, ensure that all ball valves

! Caution inside of the test stand are in the open position.

1. Turn the CONTROL POWER key switch to the on position. This supplies 110-volt power to the
control circuit.
2. Ensure the SPEED AUTO/MANUAL switch is set to Manual.
3. Verify that all valves and other controls are ready for testing, preferably in the off or closed
positions. Also, make certain that hoses are secure and that ports not in use are capped.
4. Turn on the Kidney Loop off/on switch.
5. Turn main flowout adjust and SPeed Adjust all the way counter-clockwise.
6. Push the MOTOR start switch to start the main electric motor.

Prior to starting the Hydrostatic System motor, ensure that there is no drive
shaft connected and that the gib bolts have been securely tightened.
! WARNING! Failure to do so will result in damage to the equipment and injury to
personnel.

8.2 Hydrostatic Drive System


This system consists of the main electric motor, hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor, hydrostatic reservoir,
system controls and fluid conditioners. By operating the controls, you will be able to control the output
speed of the hydraulic motor anywhere within its range.

Directional Control
Select the desired direction of rotation for the hydraulic motor’s output shaft. This is accomplished by
turning the DIRECTION CW/CCW switch on the gauge panel clockwise or counterclockwise.

 irection of rotation is the direction of the output shaft as viewed from the front of the
D
 Note machine.

Speed and Torque Relationships


Understanding the relationship of speed and torque is important to proper use of the test stand’s speed
controls. Refer to table 5.1 in Chapter 5 for more information.

 s speed increases, maximum torque available remains fairly constant through the
A
 Note low speed range and drops off in the high range.

25
8.0 Operation
Speed Control and Tachometer
Both the hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor are variable displacement piston components. The speed
of the hydraulic motor’s output shaft can be adjusted to a maximum on the SPEED ADJUST as per the
specifications in Chapter 5.

Speed Control
The hydraulic motor turns when operating the SPEED ADJUST, causing oil to flow to the motor,
increasing the displacement of the hydraulic pump. As the motor receives the flow, it begins to turn in
relation to the quantity of oil being pumped into it. When the pump reaches maximum displacement,
the motor begins to decrease in displacement, increasing the speed, but reducing the torque of the
Hydrostatic Drive System.

Tachometer
This instrument measures the test stand’s output speed (the speed of the hydraulic motor’s output
shaft).

Monitoring Instruments
Monitoring instruments for the hydrostatic system:

Hydrostatic Charge
This gauge registers the internal charge pressure of the hydrostatic system. A charge pressure of 290
PSI above case pressure is normal, which translates to a reading of approximately 280 to 340 PSI on
the gauge. Radical drop in charge pressure, if it occurs, will be accompanied by impaired hydrostatic
function.

Hydrostatic System
This gauge registers the pressure at which the hydrostatic system is working. Higher pressures indicate
that higher torque is required to turn the component being tested. Maximum system pressure is 6,000
PSI. At this pressure, internal relief valves activate.

Oil and Filter Indicators


Indicators for the Hydrostatic System are located on the gauge panel.

Hydrostatic Tank Cool


This digital temperature controller displays the temperature and cooling set point of oil in the
hydrostatic reservoir and allow the user to create a set point for cooling.

Hydrostatic Tank Low Level


When lit, indicates the 100 gallon hydrostatic reservoir is low on oil.

Hydrostatic Servo and Hydrostatic Charge


When lit, clean or replace the hydrostatic system filter(s) as previously instructed.

8.0 Operation
8.3 Oil Flow Out Systems
There are five systems which provide oil from the test stand to components under test. They are the
Main Supply - main flowout, Lube Supply - Lube, High Pressure - High Pressure flowout,
2" Supply and 4" Supply.

Main
The Main pump consists of a variable displacement open-loop piston pump that provides approximately
0-60 GPM up to 1,000 PSI for providing oil to components under test.

Flow Control
Oil comes out the main flowout port on the flow port panel when the main flow ADJUST is
turned clockwise. The rate of flow registers on the system’s FM5 flow meter 5 display.

Pressure Control
The maximum pressure provided can be adjusted using the main flowout pressure adjust on
the gauge panel. Pressure is read on the main flowout gauge.

Operations
The system can supply approximately 60 GPM at up to 1,000 PSI. An example of its use is as follows: a
hydraulic motor requires an oil supply of 40 GPM at 300 PSI. Normally, a remote pump supplies the oil.
Connect a hose from the main flowout port to the hydraulic motor inlet. Increase the main FLOW
ADJUST to establish a flow to the hydraulic motor. Pressurize the oil to 300 PSI, using the main
flowout PRESSURe adjust. Then set the required flow by adjusting the main FLOW ADJUST.

Lube
Using flow from the Supercharge pump, this system provides a low flow, low pressure, 0-8 GPM at
up to 65 PSI oil supply for lubrication of bearings and bushings in the component under test or tooling
used during testing.

Flow Control
Oil comes out the lUBE flowout port. Flow is controlled with the lUBE FLOW ADJUST valve.

Operations
The system can supply 0-30 GPM at up to 65 PSI. An example of its use is as follows: certain
components and tooling require a separate source for low flow, low pressure lubrication. The Lube
Supply is connected to the component under test or tooling used during testing.

High Pressure
The high pressure pump is a fixed displacement check ball pump that provides approximately 0-24
GPM at up to 7,200 PSI for testing hydraulic cylinders or relief valves. This pump does not require the
Main Electric Motor to be turned on.

27
8.0 Operation
Flow Control
Oil comes out the high pressure flowout. Flow is controlled by the high pressure flow
adjust valve.

Pressure Control
The maximum pressure provided can be adjusted using the high psi flowout pressure
ADJUST on the control panel. Pressure is read on the high psi flowout gauge.

Operations
The system can supply 0-24 GPM at up to 7200 PSI. An example of its use is as follows: a relief with
a 6500 PSI setting can be tested by connecting the component to the high pressure flowout.
Turn the high psi flowout pressure ADJUST until the relief valve opens, comparing the
pressure at which the valve opened to the component specifications.

Pump Suction
This system provides approximately six feet (6') of positive suction head for hydraulic pumps from the 3"
supply and 4" supply.

Flow Control
Oil comes out the 2" supply and 4" supply. Flow can be turned on/off using the butterfly valves on
the flow panel. This system does not have a method of flow measurement.

Pressure Control
This system does not have a method of pressure control. Vacuum is read on the 4" supply gauge.

Operations
An example of its use is as follows: an open loop variable displacement piston pump has a max flow
rating of 75 GPM at 1200 RPM. Connect a hose from the 2" supply or 4" supply to the pump
suction inlet of the component under test.

8.4 Return Oil to the Main Reservoir


There are two methods for returning oil to the main reservoir. The preferred method is to use the Return
to Tank ports, which keep the system closed and therefore the oil clean. If necessary, oil can also be
retuned to the Main Reservoir by using the Work Table Sump.

Return to Tank Ports


This system consists of two return to tank ports. The ports are used anytime there is a need to return
oil to the main reservoir. Oil entering through either rETURN TO TANK in port is combined before the
filters into one line inside of the machine and are routed through the return filters before returning to the
Main Reservoir.

Sump Return
Oil from the Work Table Sump is pumped from the Sump by a centrifugal pump and is routed through

8.0 Operation
the Sump Filter before returning to the Main Reservoir. The Sump Pump is controlled by high and low
level float switches. The Sump Pump remains under power even if the Control Power Key Switch is in
the off position. The Sump Pump can be disabled by either disconnecting main power to the machine or
by switching the circuit breaker inside the control power box on the side of the machine.

 he Sump Pump is limited to a maximum 85 GPM. Care should be taken not to


T
 Note return more oil to the Work Table Sump than the pump can handle.

8.5 Diagnostic Recirculation (Recirc) Loops


There are up to 5 circuits capable of monitoring oil flowing from a component under test. Depending
on the system used, the oil passes through a flow meter, flow control valve, pressure relief (load) valve
or any combination of the preceding and is then returned to the component under test or the Main
Reservoir.

FM2 Flowmeter 0-60 GPM


The FM2 Flowmeter 2 can monitor flow and pressure and/or apply an adjustable load of up to 6,500
PSI to flows up to 60 GPM.

Flow and Pressure

To measure flow only, connect a hose to the fm3 in from the component under test. To measure flow,
connect the fm3 ouT to the component under test or to either of the ports marked RETURN TO TANK.
Flow is displayed on the fm3 flowmeter 3.

FM4 Flowmeter 0-300 GPM (optional)


The FM4 Flowmeter 4 can monitor flow and pressure and/or apply an adjustable load of up 5,000
PSI to flows up to 300 GPM.

Flow and Pressure


The FM4 Flowmeter 4 0-300 gpm circuit is used by putting oil into the test stand through the fm4
load valve in port. Connect the fm4 out port to the component under test or to either of the ports
marked RETURN TO TANK.

The system can be pressurized with the fm4 load valve adjust. Pressure is displayed on the
fm4 load valve gauge and flow is displayed on the fm4 flowmeter 4.

FM5 Flowmeter 0-60 GPM


The FM5 Flowmeter 5 can monitor flow and pressure up to 1,000 PSI to flows up to 60 GPM if the
MAIN FLOWOUT is not being used.

The FM5 Flowmeter 5 0-60 gpm circuit can not be used when the Main Flowout
 Note is in use.

Flow and Pressure


The FM5 Flowmeter 5 0-60 gpm circuit is used by putting oil into the test stand through the fm5 in
port. Connect the MAIN FLOWout port to the component under test or to either of the ports marked
RETURN TO TANK.

This circuit can only be pressurized with the use of an external valve or restriction. Pressure is
displayed on the main flowout gauge and flow is displayed on the fm5 flowmeter 5.

Low Flowmeters (optional)

8.7 Sump Pump System


The sump pump returns oil from the work support sump to the main reservoir. The sump pump operates
automatically whenever the system is under power. The sump pump override is used to evacuate
the sump reservoir beyond the limit of the low level float switch.

 vacuating the sump beyond the limit of the low level float switch can introduce air
E
 Note into the circuit, resulting in damage to the pump. Bleed the pump each time the sump
is drained.

The SUMP FILTER indicator light indicates if the system's filter needs to be changed.

8.8 Fluid Conditioners, Indicators, etc.


Fluid conditioners on the test stand include oil filters and heat exchangers. Since the conditioners
operate automatically, attention to them is not normally required except during regular maintenance.
However, their operation is vital to the performance of the test stand and should be understood.

Filters
90% of all hydraulic system failures are due to contamination. Clean filters are essential to the proper
operation of the test stand. Specifications and quantities of filters are provided in the Filter Specification
section found in the Appendix.

Heat Exchangers
The test stand includes two oil-to-water heat exchangers, one for the main reservoir and one for the
hydrostatic system. The effectiveness of the heat exchangers depends on the temperature of the
water being used for cooling and the condition of the heat exchanger itself. These units cool hot oil by

31
8.0 Operation
passing water through the tubes in the oil.

Oil Level Sight Gauges


The oil level sight gauge for the main reservoir is on the left side of the main unit. The level sight gauge
for the hydrostatic system is on the back of the main unit. These gauges should be checked daily. Add
oil as necessary to keep the oil level well within the sight gauge. Do not operate the test stand if oil
cannot be seen in the sight gauge.

Temperature Controllers
Oil temperature controllers for the HYDROSTATIC TANK COOL and MAIN TANK HEAT (optional)/
COOL are located on the gauge panel. Once the predetermined set point has been reached, these
units will enable the heat exchangers to cool the system.

Ports and Control Switches


It is good practice when not using the test stand to cap all flow ports and turn all valves, controls and
switches to their off or closed positions.

9.0 Testing
This section outlines general testing guidelines for use in conjunction with the AIDCO Model 900
Transmission and Hydraulic Component Test Center. Instructions and specifications for specific test
must be obtained from the component or equipment manufacturer.

9.1 Transmission Testing


The purpose of transmission testing is to ensure that serviced or rebuilt components function properly
before they are returned to service in a vehicle. The basic test involves rotating the transmission as if
an engine was driving it. By rotating the transmission, you can adjust pressure settings, set shift points,
check flows and identify unacceptable operating conditions, such as excessive noise vibration and
leakage.

Test Stand Functions


 he stand is capable of producing conditions which simulate vehicle operation. Basically, the test stand
T
performs the following functions:

1. The Hydrostatic Drive System is used to rotate the transmission in the required direction at the
required speed.
2. Both the Supercharge and the Aux supply provide a regulated flows of oil under pressure to the
transmission’s valve and clutch package. For oil flowouts to 0-30 GPM up to 65 PSI use the
Lube supply. For oil flowouts to 0-60 GPM up to 6000 PSI use the Main Flowout supply. This
system takes the place of the vehicle’s charge pump when this pump is not an integral part of
the transmission.
3. The flow meters provide a way to monitor the amount of flow and detect leakage in the
transmission system.
4. Pressure gauges can be connected to taps in the transmission to check various internal
pressures.

 ll pressures should be measured directly from the component under test using
A
 Note the pressure taps. Gauges integrated into the test stand circuits should be used for
reference only.

As the transmission is rotated and provided with the correct oil supply it will be possible to determine
clutch pack pressures. Also, relief valve settings and valve function within the transmission can be
checked.

Flow and Pressure Settings


Valid test results depend on accurate initial flow and pressure settings.

The supply must be adjusted to the exact flow that the transmission receives in the vehicle. This does
not mean that a transmission from a vehicle with a 50 GPM pump should receive a flow of 50 GPM.
Normally, the pump supplies oil to other functions as well as to the transmission. The exact flow to the
transmission should be obtained from the vehicle under test or it will be impossible to determine clutch
pack leakage and false test results will be obtained.

33
9.0 Testing
If a transmission to be tested has a relief valve as an integral part of the component, the supply
pressure must be established at 100-PSI minimum above the relief valve setting. If not, it will be
impossible to determine whether the relief valve in the transmission or the relief valve in the test stand
is controlling pressure. If the transmission does not include a relief valve, the supply pressure must be
set appropriately to protect the transmission.

Mounting a Transmission
There are three steps to mounting a transmission for testing on the test stand:

Positioning
Position the component so that the transmission’s input shaft and the test stand’s output shaft line up
as closely as possible. The output shaft can be adjusted vertically using the power lift assembly.

Leveling
Establish a secure, level base with universal mounting adapters from the Transmission Support Group
and adapters for the specific component if required. Position one support bar forward and one as far
back as possible under the transmission. Place the spacers in the slots of the support bar so that the
transmission rests securely on a flat base or is supported by clevis adapters. The transmission is not
bolted down. Connect the drive shaft at this time.

Securing
Two cables with load binders are provided with the Transmission Support Group to secure the
transmission to the work support sump. The cables can be attached to the eyebolts that ride in slotted
rails on the sump. Pass the cables across the transmission, loop them around the lifting eyes and
take up the slack with the load binders. The load binders should be placed on opposite sides of the
transmission to keep the mounting snug and secure and to prevent the transmission case from rotating
during shift events. Re-check alignment of the drive shaft and close and lock the drive shaft guard.

9.0 Testing
Remote or Direct Mount Transmission
There are two drive configurations for transmission:

Remote Mount
In most cases, a remote mounted transmission is connected to the engine with a drive shaft. Therefore,
it is only necessary to connect the transmission to the test stand’s output shaft, using the drive shaft
and suitable flanges from the Transmission Drive Group.

Figure 9.2

Direct Mount
On transmissions with torque converters that bolt directly to the engine, it is necessary to attach the
proper bell-housing adapter to drive and support the torque converter. When this is accomplished,
the transmission is connected to the test stand’s output shaft in the same manner as remote mount
components.

Transmission adapter kits supplied by AIDCO include all required mounting, drive and accessory
hardware to perform testing of many types of transmissions. For a list of available adapter kits, contact
an AIDCO sales representative.

9.2 Pump Testing


Rebuilt pumps can be tested to ensure that the direction of rotation is correct and that pumping capacity
is at an acceptable level. Testing under loaded conditions is necessary to assure that the re-assembly
has been made properly and that there are no shaft seal or cover leaks. Pump condition (pumping
efficiency) is determined by observing the amount of oil recirculation that occurs within the unit.

Normal Recirculation
Some recirculation takes place in all new pumps from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side of
the pump.

Vane Pumps
The amount of recirculation depends on the clearance between the rotor slots and vanes, between the
end plates and rotor vanes and on the condition of contact between the vane tips and the ring surface.

Gear Pumps
Recirculation depends on gear match or clearance between gears, the fit of the gears to the side plates
and on the fit of the gears to the housing.

Piston Pumps
Recirculation occurs between the pistons and piston barrel, the piston barrel and port plates and
between the port plates and housing.

Computing Pump Loss


It is standard practice to compare pump flow at 100 PSI to pump flow at 1000 PSI while maintaining
constant speed. Since pump losses from recirculation are directly affected by pressure, this method is
useful in determining pump condition.

Test Guidelines
The pump is normally rotated at a given speed (usually 1200 or 1800 rpm) at 100-PSI back pressure

phone: (262) 252-5030 Ι fax: (262) 246-0436

9.0 Testing
on the pressure port. The resulting flow is the pump’s performance base. After recording the base flow,
the pressure is increased to 1000 PSI while the speed is maintained. The decreased flow at the higher
pressure expressed as a percentage of loss indicates the pump’s efficiency:

% loss = (flow rate @ 100 PSI)(flow rate @ 1000 PSI) X 100


(flow rate @ 100 PSI)
For example, a pump that pumps 50 GPM at 100 PSI and 48 GPM at 1000 PSI shows a loss of 4%

4% = (50)(48) X 100
(50)

Acceptable Losses
Acceptable losses vary widely among different types and sizes of pumps and from one manufacturer to
another. For example, piston pumps are generally more efficient than either vane or gear pumps. Also,
small pumps exhibit a greater percentage of loss than do large pumps. Every effort should be made to
obtain performance information from the pump manufacturer. If specifications are not available, a rule
of thumb is that a piston pump that loses no more than 10% of base flow at 1000 PSI and a gear or
vane pump that loses no more than 20% are acceptable for return to service.

Application
Consideration should be given to the type of machine or application in which the pump will work.
For example, a high production or high cycling machine probably requires a pump with a low
percentage of loss; a machine that works intermittently probably can tolerate higher losses.

Operating Temperature
Consideration also should be given to the temperature at which the pump normally operates.
Pumping losses increase with rising temperature due to the change in oil viscosity. As oil becomes
thinner, it recirculates easier within the pump. This change of flow rate is expressed by another rule
of thumb: pump capacity decreases approximately 0.5 GPM for every 10º F. of temperature rise
from 120º F. to 180º F. The resulting value should be doubled when flow from two sections of a
pump are combined.

Reduced Tests for Large Pumps


It is possible to run a reduced test on some very large pumps which cannot be tested at their high
pressures and high flows due to horsepower limitation of the test stand. The reduced test is valid
because flow losses are directly related to pressure; therefore, they increase proportionately as
pressure increases.

37
9.0 Testing
Pump Mounting
A quick-change mounting bracket kit for pumps and motors is available for use with the test stand. Bolt
the bracket to the rails of the work support sump, using the bolts and square nuts provided in the kit.
The mounting bracket will slide along the rails. (A typical pump mounting is illustrated in the drawing
below).

Figure 9.4

Bolt the pump to the appropriate mounting plate, making sure that the boss on the face of the pump
fits snugly into the large center hole of the plate. Lower the mounting plate into the mounting bracket
and lock it in place with the retaining pins. Attach the pump shaft adapter holder to the drive shaft, fit
the appropriate pump shaft adapter to the holder and mate the adapter through the center hole of the
mounting plate to the shaft of the pump itself. Adjust alignment.

Hose Connections
Typical pump connections consist of a hose from the 2" supply or 4" supply on the test stand to the
pump inlet and from the pump outlet to one or more of the Diagnostic Recirculation (Recirc) Loops. The
suction hose should always be connected at the lowest possible point. A piston pump normally requires
a case drain line and a pressure tap line in addition to the other hoses.

9.0 Testing

Figure 9.5

Gear and Vane Pump Testing


To test a typical gear or vane pump:

1. With a hose connected from the 2" supply or 4" supply port to the pump inlet, open the
corresponding valve.
2. Direct the hose from the pump’s outlet port to the work support sump while priming the pump
and checking its direction of rotation. Some oil should flow through the pump at this point,
providing pre-lubrication.
3. Jog the pump with the SPEED Control until it is primed. Be sure the direction of rotation is
correct.
4. When the pump is primed and oil flows form the loose pump outlet line, connect the line to the
fm3 load valve in and a second line from fm3 out to RETURN TO TANK. For a two-
stage pump, also connect a line from the second pump outlet port to fm2 load valve in and
a second line from fm2 out to RETURN TO TANK.
5. Now proceed according to the pump or vehicle manufacturer’s test specifications.

Piston Pump Testing


Testing a typical piston pump requires a different priming procedure than vane or gear pumps. The
reason is that piston pumps cannot produce a vacuum. Test stand owners who have standard hydraulic
oil in the main reservoir should use the procedure outlined below for testing.

1. Connect a hose form the pump’s outlet port to the main flowout port on the flow port panel.
Be sure that the case drain plug is removed from the pump.
2. With a hose connected from the 2" supply or 4" supply to the pump inlet, turn the valve on
the port to the open position.

39
9.0 Testing
3. Start the test stand. Use the main flowout port and main flowout valve to supply oil
to the pump’s outlet port at the pressure prescribed by the pump or vehicle manufacturer’s test
specifications. The main flowout pressure adjust should be increased slowly until the
pump begins to turn as a motor. Normally, the pressure is 300 PSI or less; do not exceed 500
PSI.
4. With the drive shaft disconnected at the pump, let the pump turn four or five revolutions. At this
point, there must be oil flowing out of the case drain.
5. Decrease the main flowout pressure adjust and the main FLOW ADJUST,
disconnect the hose from the main flowout port and let it lay loose on the work support
sump.
6. Connect the drive shaft; select the proper direction of rotation and start rotating the pump at 100
to 200 rpm until the pump is primed and oil is flowing out the discharge port. Stop rotation as
soon as the pump is primed.
7. Connect pressure hoses from the pump’s outlet port to the fm3 load valve in port.
8. If required, connect the case drain to either low flowmeter.

9.3 Hydraulic Motor Testing


To test a hydraulic motor, set up and connect the motor in the same manner as described under
pump testing. Testing should proceed according to the hydraulic motor or vehicle manufacturer’s test
specifications and procedures. A variation to the test procedure is to supply oil under pressure to the
motor in order to prevent cavitation damage.

9.4 Cylinder Testing


Cylinders can be tested on the test stand to determine if they operate acceptably after repair and re-
assembly. Specifically, you can check for leakage, binding and rod drifting. The cylinder test manifold
and cylinder hold down and mounting bracket kit facilitate testing of these components.

Mounting
Use the cylinder hold down and mounting bracket to provide a solid base on which the component can
be placed. In positioning the cylinder, be careful to ensure that when the rod is fully extended, it will not
be damaged or cause damage to the test stand. Secure the component with load binders.

Hose Connections
Attach appropriate fittings to the cylinder’s inlet and outlet ports.

1. Depending on the size of the cylinder and the pressure required, connect a pressure hose from
the main flowout port or the high pressure flowout port to the cylinder test block
inlet.
2. Connect pressure hoses from the cylinder test block to the component to be tested.

9.0 Testing

Figure 9.6

Test Guidelines
Cylinder testing consists of alternately directing a flow of oil under pressure to one cylinder port while
venting the other in order to check rod extension and retraction. During travel, the corresponding
pressure gauges should be observed to determine if the cylinder has any tight spots. With steady oil
flow into the cylinder, there should be no appreciable change in pressure.

A second test consists of blocking one cylinder port and pressurizing the other, thus trapping pressure
in the cylinder. Since the pressure in the rod end is higher than in the head end of the cylinder due to
differences in effective piston area, poor piston sealing can be determined by the drift rate of the rod.
Oil from the higher-pressure side of the cylinder will try to leak past the seals and reach the head end of
the cylinder. Any leakage of oil from the rod end to the head end allows the rod to extend.

The general procedure for cylinder testing is as follows:

1. Begin with all four valves closed on the cylinder test manifold.
2. Start the test stand.
3. Use the corresponding valve to provide a small amount of oil flow to the cylinder test manifold.
4. Use the corresponding pressure adjust (valve) to pressurize the system. Start with low pressure
and gradually increase pressure according to the cylinder manufacturer’s test specifications.
5. Open an inlet valve and an outlet valve on the cylinder test manifold to fully extend the cylinder
rod. Reverse the procedure to retract the rod. Repeat this process at least twice to expel all air
from the system. As the cylinder is cycled, observe the high pressure flowout gauge in
the high pressure flowout system to determine tight spots.
6. With the rod fully extended and all valves on the cylinder test manifold closed, open the inlet
valve to the rod end of the cylinder. Then open the outlet valve to the head end and the cylinder
will retract. When it has retracted approximately one quarter of its total traverse, close the outlet
valve. This will cause pressure to build in the rod end of the cylinder. Oil will attempt to leak past
the seal to the head end, causing rod drift. Mark the rod and observe the rate of drift.
7. Repeat the drift rate test at approximately one-half and three-quarters of full rod extension.
8. During these tests, inspect all welds and seals for leakage.

41
9.0 Testing
Rod drift is predictable in a good cylinder. Cylinder manufacturers have released specifications on drift
rates that are considered acceptable.

Refer to the particular cylinder or vehicle manufacturer for exact test specifications. There may be
variations to the general test guidelines outlined above. For example, some cylinders should be held in
a vertical position instead of lying horizontally on the work support sump.

 he valves on the cylinder test manifold are precision zero leak valves of the soft-seat
T
 Note variety. They should be tightened to “snug” only. Over tightening may cause damage
to the pliable valve seats.

9.5 Valve Testing


The purpose of valve testing is to determine whether the valve is functional and that it is adjusted
as required for its application. Test valves to identify internal leakage and observe them for external
leakage.

Mounting
It is generally not necessary to secure the valve to the work support sump. Valves are usually small;
they do not jump from forces acting on them. Placing them on the sump is usually sufficient.

Figure 9.8

Adapters and Hose Connections


There are three basic types of valve connections: sub-plate mount, flange connection and pipe port.
Flange connection and pipe port valves require appropriate adapters from the Fittings and Quick-
Disconnects group available from AIDCO. Sub-plate mount valves require a plate or manifold, which
converts the valves to the flange connection variety. These items are generally simple in nature and
easily fabricated at small expense.

Test Guidelines
There are many types of valves and design configurations; however, the test procedure is similar for
most valves.

Directional Control Valve


Use the Main Flowout supply to direct oil to the valve and use both the FM2 Load Valve In port and
fm3 load valve in port to check the flow division function. Hoses from the fm2 out and fm3 out
ports to the RETURN TO TANK ports also are required.

Relief and Check Valves


Depending on the flow rate use the main or the HIGH PRESSURE supply to supply oil to the valve
and the main flowout gauge or the high psi flowout gauge as necessary to test the pressure
setting.

43
9.0 Testing
It is important to obtain test procedures and specifications from the valve or vehicle
 Note manufacturer. Due to the diversity of valve types, it is possible only to describe
general mounting and connections.

9.6 Torque Converter Testing


Torque converters are usually tested in the static condition; they are not rotated during the test process.
This type of testing requires only that oil be supplied to the torque converter’s main housing and
then gradually pressurized until operating pressure is reached. The torque converter can be visually
inspected for seal leakage. However, with the correct adapters, torque converters can be tested
dynamically.

Although it is possible to rotate torque converters for testing on the test stand, most manufacturers do
not release specifications for this purpose. As a result, a valid procedure for checking flow, pressures
and temperatures is not firmly established.

10.0 Troubleshooting
This section outlines basic procedures to follow if the AIDCO Model 900 Transmission and Hydraulic
Component Test Center does not function properly. In most cases, simple adjustment can solve
problems if any occur.

10.1 Electrical Motors


Unusual Noise or Heat
Clean the motor as per the manufacturer's recommendations.

Bearing Overheating
Check for excessive friction resulting from a bent shaft, poor alignment or too much end thrust or side
thrust from the flexible coupling.

Damaging Vibrations
Check for loose motor mountings, misalignment or a faulty hydraulic pump.

10.2 Gauges
Will not return to zero. If the gauge was over-pressurized or struck, it should be checked against an
accurate test gauge. Repair or replace if found to be defective.

10.3 Flow Meters


Readings Are Suspect
To determine whether a flow meter is operating correctly, check the flow meters against each other. This
is accomplished by routing a single supply of oil through all three flow meters:

1. Connect 1” hoses between the main flowout to fm2 load valve in the fm2 out to
fm3 load valve in, and the fm3 out to either return to tank ports.
2. The two pressure adjust valves on the gauge panel fm2 load valve adjust and fm3
load valve adjust are turned all the way out (counter-clockwise).
3. The main flow adjust valve on the flow out panel is turned all the way in (clockwise).
4. Establish an oil flow using the main flow adjust supply.
5. Compare the three flow meter readings.

 or several reasons, the flow meters will not register the exact same flow. The
F
 Note accuracy of the instruments themselves (+ or 1% of full scale), leakage and valve pilot
bleed-off can account for minor differences.

No Reading or Erratic Reading


Check all connections to be sure they are secure. If a flow still does not register, connect the flow meter
to a different flow block. This will indicate whether the problem is in the flow meter or the flow block.

45
10.0 Troubleshooting
1. If the problem is in the flow meter, contact AIDCO. Repair parts can usually be identified and
sent immediately.
2. If the problem is in the flow block, remove and inspect the unit to see if contaminants are
keeping the turbine from turning. If the turbine cannot be freed, the flow block should be
replaced.

10.4 Tachometer

No Reading or Erratic Reading


Check all connections to make sure they are secure. Check the magnetic pickup on the drive shaft to
be sure it is secure in its mount with clearance of .010 to .015 inches. If the tachometer still does not
operate, contact AIDCO. Repair parts can usually be identified and sent immediately.

10.5 Hydrostatic System


Routine Checks
If the pump or motor will not operate, performance is sluggish or the drive system is not responsive to
controls, perform the following checks:

Hydrostatic Charge Pressure


The hydrostatic charge gauge on the gauge panel should register at least 200 PSI when the
test stand is running at idle. (See Pressure Tests below).

Pump Coupling
Check the pump drive coupling to make sure it is connected. Make sure the coupling’s rubber insert is
in good condition.

Pressure Tests
If the trouble is not resolved with the Routine Checks above, connect pressure gauges to the pump and
motor and check charge pump inlet pressure, case pressure and charge pressure.

Case Pressure
Case Pressure of the pump or motor should not exceed 40 PSIG at normal operating temperatures.
During cold starts, this limit can be exceeded.

Charge Pressure
Minimum charge pressure, as measured on the hydrostatic charge gauge on the gauge panel,
must be at least 150 PSI above pump case pressure when the motor shaft is loaded. With the variable
pump at neutral and the electric motor at idle speed, the minimum charge pressure must be at least
190 PSI above pump case pressure.

10.0 Troubleshooting
Pressure Test Troubleshooting
Use the results of the pressure tests as follows:

1. If charge pressure, inlet vacuum and case pressure are normal, but the pump control lever
moves freely with no resistance when disconnected from the control cable, remove the control
valve and check for broken or missing parts. Repair or replace the control valve. The unit must
be disassembled and flushed to remove missing or broken parts. If the pump lever moves with
resistance and does not return to center. Clean or replace the orifice.
2. If the charge pressure is very low or registers zero and the system is low on oil, repair leaks and
replace fluid to proper operating level in the hydrostatic reservoir. If the system is not low on oil,
there is a faulty valve in the charge pump or composite valve block. The charge pump is faulty
if charge pressure is low at neutral. The valve block is faulty if charge pressure is low when the
system is operated.
3. If charge pressure is zero, check the charge pump to see if the drive shaft or key is broken. If so,
replace the charge pump.
4. If the charge pressure is low or zero and pieces or flakes of brass are found in the filter and
reservoir, the pump and/or motor are damaged and need replacement. Contamination has
occurred and has spread throughout the system. It is good practice to repair and/or replace the
pump and motor together.

 harge pressure also may fluctuate rapidly or fall to or near zero when attempting to
C
 Note operate operating at low speed. The pump and motor may be noisy as well.

Hydrostatic System Motor Test


Hydrostatic drive power will decline if the settings on the high-pressure relief valves decrease in the
hydraulic motor. The reliefs are set at 5800 to 6000 PSI at the factory. Lower settings will keep the
system from working at rated power.

Figure 10.1

1. Position the hydraulic motor at a low point so that the output shaft is level with or lower than the
PUMP SUCTION PORT.
2. Disconnect the drive shaft and bolt the torque arm on to the drive adapter flange so that it

47
10.0 Troubleshooting
extends out to the right as viewed from the front of the work support sump.
3. Place the end of the torque arm to the right of the test stand and let it rest on any firm
foundation. If the hydraulic pump and motor are in good condition, there will be a maximum of
1232 lb-ft of force on the end of the torque arm.
4. Turn on the CONTROL POWER off/on key switch and MOTOR START switches.
5. Turn the DLS OFF/ON to off.
6. Set the Direction ccw/cw to CW (clockwise).
7. Very carefully turn the SPEED CONTROL out until system pressure starts to build.
8. Continue turning the speed control out. System pressure will build rapidly. Observe on the g2
hydrostatic system gauge the point where the relief valve opens. The system pressure
should be 5800-6000 PSI.
9. Stop the test.
10. To run the test in the counterclockwise direction, remove the torque arm and re-install it so that it
extends out to the left and rests on the PUMP SUCTION PORT. Re-run the test in this direction
by switching the direction ccw/cw to cw for reverse (counterclockwise) direction of
rotation.
11. Repeat steps six through 8.
10. Replace a worn relief valve and shim the new valve as necessary to achieve a pressure setting
of 5800 to 6000 PSI.

10.6 Other Checks


The troubleshooting check outlined above cover the main problems likely to be encountered. The
possibility of malfunction of various small parts also should be considered. A faulty valve seating, a
ruptured fitting, a loose connection, a burned out electric switch are a few of the many possibilities that
should be checked.

System Overview
Data Acquisition and Control System Components
The system is divided into three groups: the Commander Computer, the TD Controller Box and optional components.

Commander Computer
This terminal interfaces with the control box and the dynamometer and per-
forms all of the embedded control functions. It is also the location where new
tests and reports are generated, manipulated, stored, run, and printed.

TD Controller
The TD system controller box contains the system’s pressure and temperature
sensors. The sensors are housed in an industrial cabinet and supplied with quick
disconnect connections. Information is collected from the sensors and combined
with torque, speed and power measurements from the dynamometer and sent to the
Commander Computer.

Optional Components
Power Test offers a wide range of optional components and accessories for the PowerNet TD Data Acquisition and Software
System.

Our in-house manufacturing and electronics department guarantees that we will be able to provide a data acquisition and
control system for nearly any application. For more information, contact your Power Test representative, or visit us on the
web at www.pwrtst.com.

System Overview
Software Overview
The PowerNet TD Software Package is a complete data acquisition and control program for dynamometers and engines. TD
transforms a standard computer and specially designed electronic components into a highly efficient engine development and
qualification tool.

The software is comprised of several programs running at the same time, the Main Display, TD Controller Interface, Pattern
Runner and Report Generator. There may be other programs running minimized in the background (operational, but hidden)
according to what is listed under the add-ins menu of the Main Display.

Main Display TD Controller Interface

Pattern Runner Report Generator

4
System Overview
Main Display
The Main Display contains the readings for all of the available
visible sensors. All of the sensor parameters and configurations
can be modified from this window by right-clicking on the indi-
vidual sensor readings. Additionally, this window is used to open
and save PowerNet Templates and DataSpaces, as well as exit
the Commander program. The details of the functions and fea-
tures of the Main Display are discussed in Chapter 3.

TD Controller Interface
The TD Controller Interface provides essential control functions for the dynamometer. This
window identifies the dynamometer’s active load control mode and the current setpoint. It is
possible for a user at the Commander Computer to control the dynamometer and transmission
using the mode buttons and the input box directly from the TD Controller Interface. The details
of the functions and features of the Controller Interface are discussed in Chapter 4.

The Pattern Runner Interface Window


The Pattern Runner program allows the user to create, load, save and execute
PowerNet Patterns. PowerNet Patterns are pre-configured tests that are de-
signed to run in a specific order. The details of the functions and features of the
Pattern Runner are discussed in Chapter 5.

The Report Generator Interface Window


The PowerNet Report Generator allows the operator to arrange the data into a
meaningful visual format. The data can be arranged as spreadsheets and/or
graphs, while any customer and vehicle information can be put into paragraphs
and/or tables. The details of the functions and features of the Report Generator
are discussed in Chapter 6.

5
System Overview
The PowerNet File System
The PowerNet File System consists of the following components: PowerNet Templates, PowerNet DataSpaces, and Pow-
erNet Patterns. It is important to understand the function of each of these file types.

PowerNet Template (.tds)


A Template is a file containing pre-configured, basic test information. All Templates can be customized with information
applicable to the kind of test you wish to perform. This may include sensor configurations and report formats and patterns.
Templates are created by the administrator. Templates do not contain any data. Once a test is performed, data can then be
collected and saved in the form of a DataSpace.

PowerNet DataSpace (.pds)


After a Template has been used to acquire data, it is then saved as a DataSpace. A DataSpace contains the same information
as the Template with the addition of specific test data. A DataSpace is utilized whenever an operator wishes to save new test
data, or recall data from a previously saved test and is the area where live data is stored.

PowerNet Pattern (.pcp)


Patterns are pre-configured tests that are designed to run in a specific order. Patterns are created by the administrator and
they can be saved within a Template or as individual files to be loaded into existing Templates.

PowerNet Tuning Files (.pct)


Tuning Files are individual files storing dynamometer tuning parameters. The tuning parameters should not be modified unless
otherwise instructed to do so by Power Test.

PowerNet ECM Information (.pei)


Specific vehicle ECM Communication configurations can be saved and loaded as individual files.

NOTE: All file types should be stored in the C:\Program Files\PowerNet\Commander 2.0 directory.

Basic Operation
Starting the Commander Computer
Once the Commander Computer and all related components have been
installed and set up by your PTI representative, you are ready to turn on
the Commander Computer. At this time, make sure the monitor and
printer are also on.

Note: Each program on the computer utilizes a system of command


choices, called Menus. If you click on a Menu, and it drops down with
multiple choices for you, it is called a pull-down menu. To make the
computer follow instructions, simply point the mouse and click on the
menu selections you wish to have performed.

Sample PowerNet Splash Screen

The computer should automatically execute the PowerNet TD program, and the splash screen will become visible during the
time the program is loading. Once closed, the program may be restarted by clicking on the “P” icon on your screen. Double
click that icon to launch the software. For administrative functions, a log-in name and password are required.

Note: If the program does not automatically start, or the icon


does not appear, contact your Power Test representative.

Once you have powered up (for operators) or logged-in (as an


administrator), the default PowerNet Template should be loaded
and visible (right).

The program will automatically open the “default” template upon


start-up. Typically, the operator will open one of several tem-
plates created by the administrator and select a template based
on the type of engine or test being performed.

Note: Depending on the operating system used, the software may have a slightly different appearance than the examples in this
manual. This does not affect the performance of the program in any manner.

9
Basic Operation
Connections
Note: Before performing a test, the following connections may need to be made.

Pressure Connections
To connect to a pressure port, simply route the hose to the pressure source and connect accordingly.

Pressure Connection at Pressure Connection


the Panel at Transmission

ECM Connection (Optional)


To connect to the transmission’s ECM, plug the ECM cable (provided by Power Test) into the Commander Comuter on one end,
and to the appropriate diagnostic adapter (available separately from Power Test) on the other end.

Other Connections Please refer to a specific component’s installation manual for other connections.

10
Basic Operation
Test Procedure
Once the transmission has been prepared for testing, including mounting the transmission to the test stand and installation of
any necessary components (drive shafts, etc.), the next step of the process is to perform the actual test. Once the safety and
integrity of all of the systems, connections, supplies and the transmission are verified, you are ready to begin. The following
information outlines a typical test sequence.

The Single Main Form (continued)
From the Sensor Configuration tab, the user can select how many sensors appear in each row of the Single Main Form in
the Main Display.

If the 3 on top row (stationary) 5 on remaining rows option is selected,


a Single Main Form will display three sensors in the top row, and five
sensors in each row thereafter until all sensors are displayed. ex. If
there are 13 sensors in the Main Form, three sensors will be displayed in
the first row, five sensors will be displayed in the second row, and five
sensors will be displayed in the third row. If selected, the sensors in the
first row will all be square in size.

If the 4 on top row (stationary) 5 on remaining rows option is selected,


a Single Main Form will display four sensors in the top row, and five sen-
sors in each row thereafter until all sensors are displayed. ex. If there
are 13 sensors in the Main Form, four sensors will be displayed in the
first row, five sensors will be displayed in the second row, and four sen-
sors will be displayed in the third row. If selected, the sensors in the first
row will all be square in size.

If the 5 on top row (stationary) 5 on remaining rows option is selected,


a Single Main Form will display five sensors in the top row, and five sen-
sors in each row thereafter until all sensors are displayed. ex. If there
are 13 sensors in the Main Form, five sensors will be displayed in the first
row, five sensors will be displayed in the second row, and three sensors
will be displayed in the third row. If selected, the sensors in the first row
will all be square in size.

If the 5 on all rows (non-stationary) option is selected, a Single Main Form will display five sensors in each row . ex. If
there are 13 sensors in the Main Form, five sensors will be displayed in the first row, five sensors will be displayed in the
second row, and three sensors will be displayed in the third row. If selected, each sensor will be equal in size, regardless of
number selected.

Floating Forms
Floating Forms can exist anywhere on screen and can be sized individually. The use of the Floating Form format allows a
highly customizable appearance to the Main Display. A Single Main Form display and Floating Forms display can exist
together.

The Sensor Display frame of the Sensor Configuration tab is used to determine how many sensors will be displayed on
the Single Main Form display and how many Floating Forms exist. If the All Sensors check box is selected, all sensors
will be displayed in a Single Main Form mode. To display sensors in both a Single Main Form and Floating Forms format,
enter the number of sensors that should remain in the Single Main Form in the Number of Sensors on Main Form text box.
ex. If there are 13 sensors available, and a number of six is entered into the Number of Sensors on Main Form text box,
then six sensors will be displayed in the Single Main Form, and the remaining seven sensors will exist as Floating Forms.
To change which sensors appear in the Single Main Form, click on the Sensor Order tab and rearrange the sensors.

To have all sensors display as Floating Forms, un check the All Sensors check box and enter the number zero (0) into the
Number of Sensors on Main Form text box.

To move a sensor's position in the Floating Form format, confirm that the Lock Sensor Positions option in the View Menu
is unchecked. Clicking on Lock Sensor Positions will check or un check that option. If it is not unchecked, click on Lock
Sensor Positions to unlock the sensors. This will allow the sensors to be placed anywhere on the screen. Next, click on the
sensor and drag it to its new location. To change the size of a sensor, click on an edge or corner of the sensor window, and
drag it to the desired size. Once all sensors have been placed, click on Lock Sensors Positions from the View Menu. This
will lock the sensors in their current position, and help to avoid the possibility of accidentally moving, re-sizing, or hiding a
sensor.

Sensor Properties Window: The Sensor Properties window contains five tabs that allow the user to customize the
sensor. The tabs are Gauge, Display, Units, Low Alarm and High Alarm. In addition, the name of the sensor can be
changed by entering the new name into the Sensor Name input box.

Display: This is where the operator can select which type of gauge should be displayed for a
sensor. The operator can select from a Digital, Sweep Dial, Round Dial or Bar gauge.
Note: Bar gauges are only available as Floating Forms.

Digital Sweep Dial Round Dial Bar

Gauge: This tab provides the operator options to define the displayed range and multiplier for
the gauge. Maximum Reading: Establishes the top, or highest number displayed in a dial or
bar gauge. Minimum Reading: Establishes the bottom, or lowest number displayed in a dial
or bar gauge. Display Multiplier: The number by which the numbers in a display are divided
by, ex. A multiplier of ten will display 1000 RPM as 100 RPM. This will also change the display
unit to RPM x 10 (or whichever multiplier is chosen). Decimal Places without Display Multi-
plier: The number of decimal places to which is displayed as determined by the number en-
tered in the input box. ex. If a value of three (3) is entered in the input box, data will be
displayed to .000, or thousandths.

Units: This is where the user defines the units displayed for the gauge display. Common stan-
dard units can be chosen by selecting Use List and picking from the menu. To define a custom
unit, select Custom and enter a unit name, description and display symbol. Enter the values
that the sensor’s standard unit must be multiplied by and/or added to achieve the custom unit.
Once all information is entered, the custom unit can be added to the list of standard units. To
find the base unit, select units from the Use List until you find one with adder of zero and a
multiplier of one (usually, the first listing).

Sensor Properties (continued)

Low Alarm/High Alarm: These tabs are where the user defines what
actions (explained below) will be taken during a Low Alarm/High
Alarm state.

When finished, select OK to keep changes or Cancel to disregard


any changes.

Alarms
As soon as the sensor travels out of its operational range, it will change color. Blue indicates it has fallen below its opera-
tional range (Low Alarm) while red indicates it has exceeded its operational range (High Alarm). There will be two options
available to the operator, Hold (suspend) or Reset the alarm. If the Hold button is clicked during alarm state, the software
will suspend the alarm Action for the period of time indicated in the “Suspend Time”. Reset clears the alarm condition.
Shown below are examples of alarm conditions and the resulting alarm buttons that may be displayed on screen. To remove
the condition, simply click on one of the function buttons, either Hold or Reset.

The user has the option of setting a high and low alarm to activate during an engine test. As previously discussed, they are
located by right clicking on a sensor in the Main Display Window. The user may then choose from the following options:
Trigger Point, Wait Secs Before Action, Suspend Time, a variety of Actions to perform, Grab Data Point if Triggered,
and Auto Reset. In both the Low Alarm and High Alarm state, the administrator has the following options available.

Trigger Point: The value at which the software will indicate that the sensor is out of the operational range. The units of the
value entered are selected from the Units tab. For example, if the sensor is configured in RPM, then the value entered will
reflect RPM.

Wait Secs Before Action: Indicates how many seconds the software should wait before performing the alarm Action.

Suspend Time: Indicates how long the alarm action will be delayed if the Hold button is clicked.

Action: The Action state of the alarm allows the administrator to set the following actions to be performed by the software
after the number of “Wait Secs Before Action” has completed.

None: Indicates no action is to be performed and only a color change is indicated on the screen.

Soft Stop: When the alarm is triggered, the software will first apply the "Wait Secs Before Action" value, then perform a soft
stop. Both the speed control and the dyno control return to zero and the Stop relays fire automatically. These actions stop
the engine as if it were shut down normally, as no load is applied during a soft stop. If selected, an alarm will sound.

E Stop: The throttle returns to zero and the valve is fully opened, applying a preset load to the engine, the stop relays are
fired, and the engine is brought to an abrupt stop. If selected, an alarm will sound.

Warning Only: In this condition, only an alarm warning is displayed on screen, no actions are performed.

Grab Data Point if Triggered: If checked, the software will immediately grab data if the Trigger Point is reached. Grabbing
data once a trigger point has been reached will help in identifying the problem area, and cause of the alarm. If Grab Data
Point if Triggered is not checked, the data will be gathered normally.

Auto Reset: If checked, the software will automatically reset the alarm after the sensor limit has returned to normal.

28
Controller Interface
Controller Interface Window
The Controller Interface window provides essential control functions for the dynamometer. This window identifies the
dynamometer’s active load control mode and the current setpoint.

It is possible for a user at the Commander computer to control the dynamometer using the mode buttons and the input box
directly from the Controller Interface window. Additionally, the dynamometer tuning parameters, torque and pressure calibra-
tions, and the relays for ancillary components can all be accessed from this window.

29
Controller Interface
Controlling the Dynamometer
There are two methods for manually controlling the dynamometer and/or engine directly from the Controller Interface. The first
method is by entering a number in the Setpoint Entry Box directly above the relay buttons. Entering a value in this window and
pressing enter on the keyboard will move the yellow Slide Bar to the desired set point. Additionally, a blue bar will display the
progress of the change being made. The second method for controlling the dynamometer and/or engine is by clicking on the
Side Bar and dragging it to the desired set point. As the Slide Bar is moved, its position will be displayed in the Setpoint Entry
Box. A blue bar will display the progress of the change being made. Additionally, clicking on the arrows at the top and bottom
of the Slide will move the Slide Bar 5% for each click.

Note: The system can only be controlled using the Slide Bar in the Throttle Position and Load Position modes as described
below.

Throttle Control Modes


There are seven standard methods by which the transmission operating speed may be controlled during testing. They can be
selected by clicking the Input or Output buttons above the slider bars.

1) Throttle Percentage (%): A method of controlling the transmission in which the throttle is set at a percentage of the pre-
calibrated throttle range and is maintained at this position during testing. Speed adjustment may be made by using the Slide
Bar or entering the percentage value.

2) TorqueIn and TotalTorqueOut: A method of controlling the transmission in which an actual torue value is entered and the
system will move the throttle in an effort to maintain the entered value during testing (may overload transmission if set point is
too large).

3) PowerIn and TotalPowerOut: A method of controlling the transmission in which a horsepower set point is entered and the
throttle tries to maintain that amount of load, regardless of the engine’s speed or its ability to achieve that load.

4) SpeedIn and AveSpeedOut: A method of controlling the transmission in which a speed set point is entered and the throttle
tries to maintain that amount of load, regardless of the dynamometer’s speed or the engines ability to achieve that load.

Load Control Modes


Whether performing automated or manual setpoint operation, the dynamometer will ultimately be controlled by one of the
following four modes:

1) Load Percentage (%): A method of controlling the transmission in which the load is set at a percentage of the pre-calibrated
load range and is maintained at this position during testing. Speed adjustment may be made by using the Slide Bar or entering
the percentage value.

2) TorqueIn and TotalTorqueOut: A method of controlling the transmission in which an actual torue value is entered and the
system will move the throttle in an effort to maintain the entered value during testing (may overload transmission if set point is
too large).

3) PowerIn and TotalPowerOut: A method of controlling the transmission in which a horsepower set point is entered and the
dynamometer tries to maintain that amount of load, regardless of the engine’s speed or its ability to achieve that load.

4) SpeedIn and AveSpeedOut: A method of controlling the transmission in which a speed set point is entered and the throttle
tries to maintain that amount of load, regardless of the dynamometer’s speed or the engines ability to achieve that load.

30
Controller Interface
Controller Interface Window Pull-Down Menus
The TD Controller Interface Window consists of the View and Relays menus.

The View Menu


View Menu: From the View menu, the user can modify the Tuning Parameters, adjust the Settings, and view the Statistics of
the Controller Interface. The View menu consists of Tuning, Ramping, Calibrations, and Settings.

View > Tuning: Displays the dynamometer tuning parameters. The


PowerNet Data Acquisition and Control software utilizes a Propor-
tional Integral Derivative controller. The PID controller compares a
measured value from a process with a reference setpoint value. The
difference or “error” signal is then used to calculate a new value for the
throttle or valve. The PID loop occurs many times/second.

The Proportional, or gain, positions


the throttle or valve at a percentage
proportional to the error.

The Integral is the rate at which the


dynamometer will reach that
setpoint.

Derivative controls the rate of


change, and is seldom used.

Determining the appropriate settings for P and I can be a difficult task. A simple method for tuning is to first set the I and D
values to zero. Increase the P until the system begins to oscillate, and then divide by 2. Then increase I until oscillation starts,
and divide by 2. A fast PID loop tuning usually overshoots slightly to reach the setpoint more quickly; however, some systems
cannot accept overshoot. If this is the case, the tuning will need to be slower.

View > Ramping: Clicking on Ramping displays the Ramping (shown at right), or
percentage of change per second, of the value being changed. When selected, ramping is
displayed directly below the setpoint boxes.

ex. Entering a throttle value of 50 in the Setpoint Entry Box and a value of 10 in the %/sec
Entry Box will increase the throttle percentage by 10 percent every second or five seconds.

The View Menu - (continued)
View > Calibrate: This selection will show a pop-up window allow-
ing the administrator to calibrate attached sensors (shown below).

Torque: To calibrate the torque:

1. Make sure there is no torque being applied to dyno.


2. Attach the calibration arm to the torque arm of the dyno.
3. Zero the torque by clicking on the Zero Offset Button
4. Stack a known amount of weight on the calibration arm (200 Lbs is recommended). The calibration torque is the weight
multiplied by the calibration arm length, as measured from the pivot point of the absorber.
5. If the calibration is correct, no change is needed. Proceed with other calibration procedures. If the displayed torque is not
correct, repeat steps 1-4.
6. Enter the calibration torque value and click on the Adjust Gainbutton.
NOTE: The Adjust Gain function will only become active when a number is entered in the box, and torque is applied to the
dyno.
7. Remove weights and calibration arm.
8. Zero the torque again

Pressures: To calibrate pressures:


WARNING: An abrupt change in pressure may result in damage to the sensor being calibrated. Make certain that the
regulated air supply is set to zero before introducing pressure at a slow pace. When finished calibrating, slowly bleed
off the air supply before removing from the sensor being tested.

1. Make sure there is no pressure source connected to the sensor.


2. Connect a regulated air supply set to 0 psi.
3. Zero the pressure by clicking on the Zero Offset button.
4. Slowly adjust the pressure regulator to a known pressure range near the
sensors rating.
5. Enter the known pressure value into the text box for the corresponding
sensor and click on the Adjust Gain button.
6. Slowly bleed off the air supply.
7. Disconnect the pressure source.

Pattern Runner
The Pattern Runner Interface Window
The Pattern Runner program allows the user to create, load, save and execute PowerNet Patterns. Patterns are pre-
configured load and speed set-points that are designed to automatically run in order. Each of these set-points is represents an
action executed by the Controller Interface. Once a Pattern has been created, that Pattern is used to run individual commands
of the Controller Interface.

NOTE: A thorough understanding of the dynamometer load and throttle controls, modes of operation, and effects on the engine
are required before creating new Patterns. When creating new Patterns, it is recommended to insert many small steps between
changes in RPM and load. It is also recommended that the time interval (Point Duration) is set long is set long enough to allow
for each step to stabilize before advancing to the next.

Example of a PowerNet LT Test Pattern

Each row represents one point in the Pattern. Each row is divided into as many as five columns.

The first column represents the Point, or step of the pattern. ex. 1), 3), etc....

The second column, Th:, represents the Throttle position during the test. The throttle value can be set by either the percentage
of the throttle that is desired (%), or by a set speed (RPM).

The third column, V:, represents position of the load control valve. There are four settings for determining the valve position:
Valve position, Torque, Power, and Speed.
Note: The units for each of these settings are selected from the Sensor properties menu of the Main Display. To access a
Sensor’s properties, right click on the sensor and select the appropriate unit from the Units tab.

The fourth column, Wait, represents the Duration, or the elapsed time during each step of the pattern.

Column five indicates whether or not data will be recorded, including activation of the AutoGrab feature.

Report Generator
The Report Generator Program
A copy of the data recorded during a dynamometer test should be saved following each test session. The Report Generator
allows the operator to arrange the data into a meaningful visual format. Customer, engine, and set up information can be put into
User Tables and Paragraphs. The information gathered during a test can then be arranged in a Data Table, Spreadsheet,
and/or Graph. Report formats can be created and edited before or after a DataSpace has been created.

Report Generator Window

There are two types of information tables, a User Table and a Data Table. A User Table provides blanks for the operator to
enter specific information about the test being performed. This can include, but is not limited to: Customer Information, Engine
Information, Test Specific Information, etc. A Data Table contains information gathered from the attached sensors during a
test, and displays only that information that is specified for that particular Data Table, such as maximum and minimum values.

The data gathered during a test can also be arranged in a Spreadsheet and/or Graph. A Spreadsheet is a computer
generated arrangement of the test data into rows and columns. A Graph is a drawing representing the relationship between two
sets of data. One set, such as gathered information, is represented on a vertical scale or axis, the other, such as time or other

This program is designed to communicate with the Gas Analyzer.
Once this program is started, the system will begin to communicate
with the Gas Analyzer and show the real time gas analysis result
(shown right).

Add-in Programs
Calculated Sensors
Calculated Sensors: This program has the ability to take two sensors or typed values and add, subtract, multiply, divide or
power the two values. The user must choose a sensor type, determining what type of units to use on the new calculated sensor.
When a Calculated Sensor is created, it is permanently added to the list of available sensors.

A user must be logged in to access the Calculated Sensors program. To begin calculating sensors, click View > Edit.
Clicking the Add Sensor button will allow the user to configure the sensors. By selecting the Sensor Input or Typed Input,
either a sensor value or a literal value can be used in the calculation. Select the calculation function by clicking on the various
option buttons in the Operator section. Clicking the Add Sensor button saves the new Calculated Sensor.

To add additional sensors, click on the Add Sensor button. The name of the new sensor is assigned ex. CALC0, CALC1, etc.
The name of the sensor, as well as its variables and calculations used to determine the value of the calculated sensor can be
edited from the Sensor Properties function in the Main Display. Additionally, a custom unit can be assigned to a Calculated
Sensor from the Sensor Properties function in the Main Display. Any custom unit can be assigned by choosing the Custom
option button on the Units tab. If the Sensor name has been changed, it will not be renamed until the DataSpace has been
reopened.

If more than one sensor is added, the Previous and Next buttons allow navigation from one Calculated Sensor to the next.

If two like sensors are selected and either add or subtract is selected as an operator, all calculations are performed on the base
unit. ex. if two volume flow sensors are added or subtracted, the units selected for each individual sensor would have no effect
on the outcome of the calculated sensor. If the two like sensors are divided, a ratio will be assigned.

Example: 20 degrees C = 68 degrees F


Subtracting two sensors with a value of 20 degrees C would be 68 - 68 = 0 0 Degrees F = -18 Degrees C

If the program has determined that it will use a generic sensor type, all operations are performed based on the displayed value.
For instance, if 10 is added to a temperature sensor with units of degrees F displaying 68 degrees, the calculated sensor would
read 78. Changing the temperature sensors units to degrees C would change the value of the display to 20. The added 10 would
still have the same effect, causing the calculated sensor to read 30.

Note: There is no way to remove a sensor. Sensors can only be added. If a calculated sensor is no longer needed, a new
template must be created from an existing template not containing the calculated sensor.

Add-in Programs
Fuel Controller (if included)
Fuel Controller: This program is designed to communicate with PTI fuel system. When the fuel system is operating, the
following data can be measured and shown in the Main Display as sensors:

Volume Burn Rate Volume Burn Rate is defined as the total volume of fuel being burned by the engine during testing.
The default unit is measured in gallons/hour.

Mass Burn Rate Mass Burn Rate is defined as the total weight of fuel being burned by the engine during testing.
The default unit is measured in pounds/hour.

Fuel Density Fuel Density is defined as the total density of fuel being used by the engine during the test.
The default unit is measured in pounds/gallon.

Total Volume Total Volume is defined as the total volume of fuel being used by the engine during the entire test run.
The default unit is measured in cubic gallons.

Fuel API Fuel API is a standard method established by the American Petroleum Institute to measure fuel
quality.
The default unit is a standard number measured in API degrees.
BSFC BSFC is defined as Brake Specific Fuel Consumption. This number represents the overall efficiency of
the engine at the time of the test. The unit is measured in Pounds/Horsepower Hour.
DPV Distance Per Volume is the distance that the vehicle travels on the chassis dynamometer “virtual
road” and is measured in miles/gallon. (Chassis dynos only)

Fuel Controller Interface Buttons


There are three buttons located on the Fuel Controller Interface window. They are as follows: Empty Fuel System - purges the
fuel in the system. Fill Fuel System -readies the system to run. Shut Down System - empties the fuel system, then shuts
down the power to the fuel system only.

The Setup Menu


Setup: The Fuel Controller program only has a Setup menu. The Setup Menu contains the following options: Power Sensor,
Speed Sensor, Average Rates, and Calibration Density.

Power Sensor: This allows the operator to select the source of


power for the fuel controller. If there is only one source of power,
there will be only one calculating BSFC selection in the menu.

Speed Sensor: This selection allows the operator to set the source
of the speed sensor. For use in calculating DPV.

Average Rates: This menu selection allows the operator to choose


the average time period that the sensors sample the readings for
mass and volume burn rate. The time periods are either none, 5, 10
or 30 seconds, and there is a custom option to allow the operator to
enter a custom time period.

Calibration Density: The calibrate density choice initiates the pro-


cedure for calibrating fuel density. The measurement is manually
entered. The operator indicates the temperature in degrees Fahren-
heit and the fuel specific gravity from a sample of the fuel to be used
in the testing.

Add-in Programs
Correction Factors (If included)
The Correction Factors option allows the user to ap-
ply SAE or custom corrections to torque and horse-
power readings, and creates a five new sensors: Cor-
rected Gross Torque, Corrected Gross Horse-
power, Corrected Net Torque, Corrected Net Horse-
power and the Correction Factor itself.

Note: Corrected Net Torque and Corrected Net Horse-


power are only used in some custom corrections, and
are normally not available.

The Configuration Menu: The Configuration


Menu contains the following options: SAE, Custom
Correction, Search for Custom Correction and
Rebuild All.

Configuration > SAE: Allows the user to select correction formulas as specified in SAE documents J607 and J1995/J1394.
SAE J607 is intended for spark ignition engines only. SAE J1995/J1394 allows for both spark and compression ignition
systems.

To apply the correction factor settings to a particular engine type, select the appropriate options from the sub-menus as
illustrated below.

Configuration > Custom Correction: Allows the user to select a Cor-


rection file containing a custom formula for determining Corrected Power
and Corrected Torque. These files can been created by your Power Test
representative to your administrator’s specifications.

Add-in Programs
Correction Factors (continued)
Configuration > Search for Custom Correction: Searches all remov-
able drives for any Custom Correction files.

Configuration > Rebuild All: Refreshes the sensor names in the Sen-
sor Input drop down lists.

NOTE: If changes are made in the Main Display to sensors names that
correspond to those listed in the Sensor Input drop down boxes, the user
must click on the Rebuild All menu item to reflect the changes made.

Correction Factor Inputs


After applying all necessary SAE correction settings, all Correction Factor formula inputs will be listed on the main form of the
Correction Factors program. The first button, Sensor Input, allows the user to select a sensor to obtain information needed for
the correction formula. The second button, Typed Input, allows the user to enter a fixed value and the unit of measurement
applied to the correction formula.

Sensor Input

Typed Input

NOTE: A simple method for configuring Correction Factors is to select J1995/J1394 - Spark Ignition, regardless of ignition type
(illustrated below). This configuration allows for atmospheric correction only, yet is an effective method of establishing correc-
tions for atmospheric corrections only.
