The document describes a Frequency Detection Module device that is used with generators to control engine functions like starter motor release and overspeed shutdown. It provides voltage free contacts and detects frequency from 100Hz at 1500rpm up to 2500rpm. It has adjustable detection points for low and high speed, operates from 10-32V, and provides isolation between the generator and engine systems.

The Frequency Detection Module (FDM) is an electronic accessory SUPPLY VOLTAGE for use with Stamford generators using Permanent Magnet 12 volt version 10-16 V dc Generator (PMG) excitation system. 24 volt version 20-32 V dc
Its main uses are in engine control circuits requiring starter motor SUPPLY CURRENT release and overspeed shutdown. Alternatively, the unit can be 12 volt version 200 m A max used for over/under frequency detection. 24 volt version 100 m A max
The FDM is powered from the engine battery system and derives a Hz SENSE INPUT All models speed signal from the generator PMG. Voltage free relay contacts Volts 20-300 V ac are provided for the starter motor release and overspeed functions. Hz 100 @ 1500 rpm Isolation Optical 2 kV

ADJUSTMENT OF CONTROLS MODE SWITCH
'HIGH' POTENTIOMETER The mode switch has two active positions which affect the operation of the low speed (or cranking) relay. Position 0 The HIGH potentiometer's range is 1500-2500 rpm, it adjusts causes the low speed relay to be energised at standstill. The the frequency detection point of the overspeed relay relay then de-energises when the frequency reaches the set (terminals 24, 21, 22). Clockwise increases the frequency point. detection point. Position 1 causes the low speed relay to be de-energised at 'LOW' POTENTIOMETER standstill. The relay then energises when the frequency reaches the set point. The LOW potentiometer's range is 300-1800rpm it adjusts the frequency detection point of the underspeed (or cranking The overspeed relay energises when the speed exceeds the release) relay, (terminals 14,11 12). Clockwise increases the set point and is unaffected by the position of the mode frequency detection point. switch. BASIC OPERATON
The internal block diagram of the FDM is shown above. The FOLLOWER/INVERTER main functions of the FDM are as follows:- Depending on the setting of the mode switch (0 or 1), this OPTO ISOLATION circuit either inverts the output of the LOW LEVEL DETECTOR or follows it. Provides isolation between the engine battery system and the generator PMG, using opto-electronic technology. RELAY DRIVERS
SHAPING Provide the current drive for the relay coils.
Converts the speed signal from the PMG into a narrow pulse suitable for triggering the F - V converter circuit.
F-V CONVERTER
Converts the narrow pulse from the shaping circuit into a
constant width pulse which is then filtered to produce an average DC voltage proportional to speed.
LOW LEVEL DETECTOR
Compares the output from the F-V converter with an
adjustable reference voltage, and produces an output whenever the F-V converter signal is less than the reference.
HIGH LEVEL DETECTOR
Compares the output from the F-V converter with an
adjustable reference voltage, and produces an output whenever the F-V converter signal is greater than the reference. PIN OUT INFORMATION
