General Information
Parameters are pieces of information which are used within the memory of the digital voltage
regulator. Each parameter has a specific range of values. Parameters direct the operation of the digital
voltage regulator. Service personnel can configure certain parameters to the requirements of a specific
site. The configuration changes the value of a particular parameter. There is an upper and a lower
limit for the value of each parameter. The limits can not be exceeded.
Not all parameters are configurable. Some parameters are used only to show status. These parameters
are used only for viewing or monitoring purposes. Some parameters operate as a switch that activate a
specific function of the digital voltage regulator. Parameters :01 through :49 are parameters that can
be configured. Parameters :50 through :79 are only a monitor or a view parameter. Parameters :90
through :99 are system parameters. The system parameters are primarily used as alarm and fault
parameters for the entire system.
Each parameter is assigned a specific two digit code. These parameters can be shown on the display
of the digital voltage regulator. Parameters are preceded by a colon. The value of each parameter can
also be shown on the display of the digital voltage regulator. The parameter value is a four digit
number. The parameter value is not preceded by a colon.
Proper activation of the keypad is necessary in order to view the parameters. Proper activation of the
keypad is necessary in order to configure the values of the parameters. Refer to the System Operation,
"Display And Keypad". Also, see Testing And Adjusting, "Parameter Viewing And Configuring
Procedure".
Parameter Descriptions
Parameter :01 - Generator Output Voltage The generator output voltage is the voltage that is
expected (desired) at the generator output terminals. Modify the generator output voltage parameter in
order to adjust the normal generator output voltage. A remote voltage adjust rheostat will provide a
±10% voltage adjustment range from the value that is entered for generator output voltage.
Parameter :02 - Ratio Of Output Voltage To Sensing Voltage This is the ratio of the generator
output voltage to the regulator sensing voltage. The generator output voltage appears at the terminals
of the generator. The regulator sensing voltage appears at terminals 20, 22, and 24 of the digital
voltage regulator. In order to determine the ratio of output voltage to sensing voltage if the generator
output is less than 700 VAC, divide the generator output voltage by the voltage range on the digital
voltage regulator ID nameplate. The number actually used for the voltage range listed on the digital
voltage regulator ID nameplate varies with the frequency (Hz) of the generator. The numbers that are
used for the different digital voltage regulator voltage ranges are listed below.
• If the range is 79-124 use 100 volts for 50 Hz or 120 volts for 60 Hz.
• If the range is 125-249, then use 200 volts for 50 Hz or 240 volts for 60 Hz.
• If the range is 250-600, then use 400 volts for 50 Hz or 480 volts for 60 Hz.
For example, if the generator output voltage is 480 volts and the digital voltage regulator voltage
range is 125-249 and the frequency of the generator is 60 HZ, then the ratio is 480 divided by 240
which equals 2. The following method may be useful for generators with an output that is below 700
VAC. The usefulness of the following method will depend on the connection diagram that is used.
If the generator output voltage is more than 700 VAC, then use the transformer ratio of the sensing
transformers. For example, if the generator output voltage is 4160 VAC and the sensing transformers
are 4200:120, the voltage ratio is 35 (4200 divided by 120).
Illustration 1 g00551383
Typical Nameplate On Digital Voltage Regulator
Perform the following measurement as an alternative method in order to find the ratio.
1. Remove wires 26 and 30 from regulator terminals 26 and 30 in order to eliminate the possibility
for overvoltage. Remove the wire from B- in order to avoid fault code 803.
2. Start the engine and run at rated speed (high idle).
3. Measure residual generator output voltage.
4. Measure voltage across terminals 20 and 22 of the digital voltage regulator.
5. Shut down the engine.
6. The voltage ratio is equal to the measured generator output voltage divided by the measured
voltage that is across terminals 20 and 22.
Note: On an occasion, it may be necessary to flash the field in order to get enough residual voltage for
this test.
Parameter :03 - Generator Type Parameter :03 relates to the type of generator which the digital
voltage regulator is controlling. This is required for the digital voltage regulator to properly measure
the output frequency of the generator. The digital voltage regulator measures frequency by using two
of the PM power inputs (26 and 30). The generator frame size is indicated on the nameplate which is
located on the outside of the generator terminal box.
NOTICE
Additional components (potential transformers) are required when the

digital voltage regulator is set for SE operation. If the SE generator
and the digital voltage regulator are not connected properly, the digital
voltage regulator can be permanently damaged.
In a self-excited (SE) application, the PM power inputs to the digital voltage regulator must be
connected to power transformers. Two power transformers are required to be connected in an
ungrounded open delta configuration. Each transformer must be capable of supplying 1200 VA. The
PM inputs must not exceed 120 VAC line to line. For example, if the generator has a 480 VAC
output, use 4:1 transformers. The transformers must be fused on the primary side.

Parameter :04 - Rated Generator Output Current The parameter is set to the rated output current
that is on the nameplate of the generator and is set at a 0.8 power factor. The rated generator output
current is the 100% maximum rating that includes the real current and the reactive current. The digital
voltage regulator does not use this parameter to limit current. However, the parameter must be set
properly for the paralleling and line loss compensation functions in order to operate correctly. The
rated generator output current is indicated on the nameplate. The nameplate is located on the outside
of the generator terminal box.
Parameter :05 - CT Voltage At Rated Generator Current The voltage that the digital voltage
regulator will have at the droop current transformer (CT) input at rated generator current. This entry is
used for droop, line loss compensation, KVAR/PF control, and calculation of the monitoring
parameters :52, :53, :54, :56, :57, and :58. The parameter must be set properly for the monitoring,
paralleling, and line loss compensation functions in order to operate correctly. The value can be
calculated by using the following formula.
Vct=(I × W × R × N) / (T × O × C)
Vct - CT Voltage At Rated Generator Current
I - rated generator output current per phase (value entered for parameter :04)
W - the number of times each generator wire goes through the droop CT window
R - ohms of CT load resistor
N - number of wires going through the droop CT
T - CT turns ratio or (ICT primary) / (ICT secondary)
O - total number of generator output wires per phase, of which some or all may go through the droop
CT.
C - generator output voltage connection: 1 for high, 2 for low. Four or six lead generators can only be
1 (high). Ten or twelve lead generators connected in series are also 1 (high). Ten or twelve lead
generators connected in parallel are considered 2 (low voltage). A twelve lead generator that is
connected in a delta configuration is considered 2 (low voltage). Six lead generators that are
connected in a delta configuration are still considered 1 (high).
Another method in order to determine the value for parameter :05 is listed below.
1. Start and run the generator set at full load (available loading).
2. Select parameter :52 and monitor parameter :52 (generator output current).
3. If the value monitored on parameter :52 is not approximately equal (± 5%) to the actual current
on phase "B", then adjust parameter :05 up or down until the current monitored is equal to the
actual current.
Note: Increasing parameter :05 will lower the value of parameter :52. Decreasing parameter :05
will increase the value of parameter :52.
Parameter :06 - Knee Frequency For a visual description, refer to System Operation, "Startup
Profile Function". Also, refer to System Operation, "Loading And Stopping Profile". Parameter :06 is
set in hertz (Hz). For better stability, it is recommended that the knee frequency setting be 0.2 to 1.0
Hz below the operating frequency. For voltage sensitive applications, it may be preferable to set the
knee frequency value still lower.
Parameter :07 - Decreasing V/Hz Slope 1. For a visual description, refer to System Operation,
"Loading And Stopping Profile". This parameter is set in percent of voltage change per percent of
frequency change.
Parameter :08 - Decreasing V/Hz Slope 2. For a visual description, refer to System Operation,
"Loading and Stopping Profile". This parameter is set in percent of voltage change per percent of
frequency change.
Parameter :09 - Minimum Voltage For a visual description, refer to System Operation, "Loading
And Stopping Profile". This parameter is set in volts as a percentage of rated voltage (% of
parameter :01).
Note: The undervoltage trip point and undervoltage trip time prevent the engine or the generator from
operating in an undervoltage condition for an extended time. The minimum voltage (parameter :09) is
the lowest operating voltage that the engine or the generator will be able to recover from due to a
large load application. Setting the minimum voltage above the undervoltage trip point (parameter :13)
eliminates most of the undervoltage protection.
Parameter :10 - Underfrequency Point For a visual description, refer to System Operation, "Startup
Profile Function". Refer to the System Operation, "Loading And Stopping Profile" section. This
parameter is set in hertz (Hz).
Parameter :11 - Overvoltage Trip Point. If the voltage is more than this value for a period of time
greater than the overvoltage trip time, then an overvoltage shutdown fault will occur. This point is set
in percent of generator output voltage (parameter :01). Refer to parameter :12. This feature is intended
to operate similar to an ANSI 59 protection relay.
Parameter :12 - Overvoltage Trip Time.The time, in seconds, require that the output voltage must
be greater than the overvoltage trip point before tripping an overvoltage shutdown fault. Refer to
parameter :11.
Parameter :13 - Undervoltage Trip Point. If the voltage is less than this value for a period of time
greater than the undervoltage trip time, then an undervoltage shutdown fault will occur. This point is
set in % of generator output voltage (parameter :01). Refer to parameter :14. This protection is not
enabled when the optional excitation disable switch is closed or when the running profile or the
operating profile is not used. This feature is intended to operate similar to an ANSI 27 protective
relay.
Parameter :14 - Undervoltage Trip Time. The time, in seconds, require that the output voltage must
be lower than the undervoltage trip point before tripping an undervoltage shutdown fault. Refer to
parameter :13.
Note: The undervoltage trip point and undervoltage trip time prevent the engine or the generator from
operating in an undervoltage condition for an extended time. The minimum voltage (parameter :09) is
the lowest operating voltage that the engine or the generator will be able to recover from due to a
large load application. Setting the minimum voltage above the undervoltage trip point (parameter :13)
eliminates most of the undervoltage protection.
Parameter :15 - Voltage Gain (Line Loss Compensation) This parameter increases the voltage
reference in order to compensate for voltage drops in the wires (resistance) from the generator to the
load. This drop is dependent on the amount of current flowing through the wires. The value is entered
in a percentage of generator output voltage (parameter :01). Reactive droop (parameter :30) may have
an effect on the voltage reference in the opposite direction. Either voltage gain or voltage droop may
be used. However, both of the parameters should not be used simultaneously. One or both of these
parameters should always be zero. Refer to System Operation, "Voltage Regulation". Refer to the
System Operation, "Line Loss Compensation" section. This feature requires the presence of a droop
current transformer.
Parameter :16 - Integral Gain This parameter changes the transient performance of the digital
voltage regulator if the DVR is in voltage control mode. The integral gain parameter is preset at the
factory for the generator. The integral gain parameter must not be adjusted unless the resulting effect
is fully understood. An incorrect adjustment may cause the output voltage to overshoot or to oscillate.
Increasing this value may improve regulation accuracy but can cause it to be more unstable. The
shorter the generator time constant the higher this parameter should be set. Hunting may be
experienced if the gain is too low. This parameter should generally be set within the range of 1.0 to
9.0.
Parameter :17 - Proportional Gain The proportional gain parameter changes the transient
performance of the digital voltage regulator when the digital voltage regulator is in voltage control
mode. The proportional gain parameter is preset at the factory for the generator. The integral gain
parameter must not be adjusted unless the resulting effect is fully understood. If the proportional gain
is increased, the response of the regulator will improve to load changes. However, the increased gain
may cause voltage overshoot or voltage instability. This parameter should generally be set within the
range of 1.0 to 9.0. This parameter should be close to the value for parameter :16.
Parameter :18 - Single Phase Sensing Select If single phase sensing is required, set this value to 1.
The default setting is 0 for three-phase sensing. This is required to regulate the proper voltage. When
single phase sensing is selected, all KVAR and PF features are disabled. When single phase sensing is
selected, the option to view the monitor functions :56, :57, and :58 is disabled. The regulators that
have a part number that begins with 155-xxxx, and if single phase sensing is selected, all of the
KVAR, PF, reverse VAR and reverse power features and viewing of monitor functions :56, :57
and :58 are disabled.
Parameter :19 - Diode Monitor Trip Point The diode monitor trip point parameter sets the
allowable amount of field current variation (ripple) before the digital voltage regulator can detect a
rotating diode that may be faulty. If the value is exceeded for a period of five seconds, a rotating
diode shutdown fault will occur. Initially, this value should be set to the no load field current that is
monitored on parameter :55. Lower the value (increase sensitivity) in order to lower the allowable
current difference. Raise the value (decrease sensitivity) in order to raise the allowable current
difference.
Parameter :20 - Reverse VAR Trip Time This parameter represents the time, in seconds, required
in order to trip the reverse VAR faults. The fault codes are code 604 and code 704. This protective
fault is defined as "0.4 Per Unit" or greater leading KVARs. Entering a longer time will allow time to
compensate for added loads. The settle time for the system will depend on the size of the added load.
Refer to parameter :21. This parameter was added for regulators with the part number 155-xxxx and
newer. This feature is intended to operate similar to an ANSI 40 protective relay.
Parameter :21 - Reverse VAR Fault Selection This parameter configures the response of the digital
voltage regulator when the DVR is exposed to a reverse VAR condition. This fault may be configured
to be disabled (no fault), to be a shutdown fault or an alarm fault. When parameter :21 is set to 0
(zero), detection of the reverse VAR fault is disabled. This disables fault code 604 and fault code 704.
When parameter :21 is set to 1, the fault is treated as an alarm fault. If parameter :21 is set to 1, then
fault code 604 will be enabled and fault code 704 will be disabled. If parameter :21 is set to 2, the
fault is treated as a shutdown fault. If parameter :21 is set to 2, then fault code 704 will be enabled and
fault code 604 will be disabled. Refer to fault code 604 and fault code 704. This parameter was added
for regulators with the part number 155-xxxx and newer.
Parameter :22 - Droop/CCC Select This parameter is used to select between voltage regulation,
voltage droop and cross current compensation (CCC) modes when operating in voltage control mode.
When CCC mode is selected, parameters :52, :53, :54, :56, :57, and :58 are disabled as well as the
reverse power fault code 705 and reverse VAR fault codes 604 and 704. This parameter has no effect
on the KVAR or PF modes of operation. This parameter is ignored when terminal 41 is closed to
terminal 50 that enables the optional KVAR or PF regulation mode. This parameter was added for
regulators with the part number 155-xxxx and newer.
Parameter :30 - Droop Percentage Refer to System Operation, "Reactive Voltage Droop Function".
Refer to System Operation, "Cross Current Compensation". This parameter defines generator output
voltage droop, in percent, at the rated generator reactive current. This parameter is effective only
when in voltage droop mode. Refer to parameter :22). The rated current for the generator is defined
by parameter :04 and parameter :05. Either voltage gain or voltage droop may be used, but both
parameters must not be used simultaneously. One or both of these parameters should always be zero.
This parameter has no effect on the KVAR or PF modes of operation. This parameter is ignored when
terminal 41 is closed to terminal 50 that enables the optional KVAR or PF regulation mode. This
feature requires the use of a droop current transformer. Service personnel must remember that a
leading reactive current will cause the voltage to rise rather than to droop.
Parameters :31 through :38 apply only to the digital voltage regulators with the optional
KVAR, PF and reverse power functions. All the features require the presence of a droop
current transformer. Several notes for this option are listed below.
• The KVAR and PF option is not operable if the 52/a contacts are not closed, that is, if terminal
41 is open to terminal 50. Parameters :4 and :5 must be configured correctly for proper
operation in the KVAR and PF mode.
• The reverse power function is not active unless the KVAR and PF mode is enabled or the droop
mode is selected in parameter :22.
• If the droop current transformer (CT) is connected in a cross current compensation (zero droop)
configuration and 52/a contacts are closed (thus enabling the KVAR/PF controller), the
regulator will not operate properly. The regulator will trip. Various faults will be indicated. A
common fault will be the reverse VAR fault. Properly installed contactors may be used in order
to allow the setup of both configurations so that either one can be used at any given time.
• If the KVAR and PF mode is enabled when the generator is connected to an isolated load (not
connected to a utility), then an unstable operating condition exists because it is not possible to
simultaneously regulate voltage and power factor (or KVAR).
• If single phase sensing, parameter :18, is selected, monitoring functions :56, :57, :58 and all PF
and KVAR optional features will be disabled.
Parameter :31 - PF/KVAR Select (optional feature). This parameter selects whether the power
factor (PF) or the KVARs will be regulated when the power factor and KVAR mode is activated. This
mode is activated by applying 24 volts DC to the VAR/PF enable input. The VAR/PF enable input
must be wired to terminal 41 of the regulator. Always use terminal 50 for the 24 volt DC source.
Set parameter :31 to 0 for PF control. Set parameter :31 to 1 for KVAR control. The default for
parameter :31 is 0.
Parameter :32 - PF Reference (optional feature). When PF control is active, the value that is
entered for this parameter is used as the reference for regulation. Power factor is the ratio of real
power (kW) divided by apparent power (kVA) of the generator. The value range of this parameter is
adjustable from 0.6 (lagging) to 1.1. The value 1.1, represents a leading power factor of 0.9. If a
remote adjustment rheostat is used in order to manually adjust the power factor, the setting for
parameter :32 will not be modified. The setting for parameter :32 will be ignored. Refer to System
Operation, "Customer Options". The PF/KVAR switch that is at terminal 41 must be enabled. The
"real output" of the generator must be above the level that is defined by parameter :38 in order for this
feature to operate. Refer to System Operation, "Power Factor Regulation" for more details and for the
history of changes to this feature.
Parameter :33 - KVAR Reference (optional feature). If KVAR control is active, the value that is
entered for this parameter will be used as the reference for KVAR regulation. The value is entered as
"per unit KVARs". The adjustment range is from 0.0 to 1.0. The PF and KVAR mode switch that is
accessed at terminal 41 of the regulator, must be enabled in order for this feature to operate.
The digital voltage regulator defines "1 Per Unit KVARs" as 100% of the rated KVARs. The rated
KVARs is equal to 0.6 of the rated generator kVA. This fixed definition is based on the fact that most
generators are rated for the kW capacity at 0.8 power factor, which defines the ratio to overall kVA
capacity. Parameters :01 and :04 define rated generator kVA. By definition, KVA2 = KW2 + KVAR2.
Therefore, at full rated conditions and with a power factor of 0.8, and KW/KVA = 0.8, the KVARs
will be 0.6 times the rated kVA.
If a remote adjustment rheostat is connected to regulator terminals 44 and 45, and parameter :31 is set
to 1, which selects KVAR regulation, the rheostat will have a full range of adjustment for the KVAR
reference. The range of adjustment will be 0.0 to 1.0 per unit. The KVAR reference value, that is
stored in parameter :33, will not be modified. The KVAR reference value will be ignored.
On regulators with part number 155-xxxx and newer this value is used in power factor mode as well.
When in PF control mode (parameter :31 is set to zero), the value entered in parameter :33 will be
used as the KVAR reference when the generator real current level is below that defined by the PF
switch point (parameter :38). Refer to System Operation, "KVAR Regulation" for more detail. See
also System Operation, "Power Factor Regulation".
Parameter :34 - Reverse Power Trip Point. If the generator is subjected to a reverse power level
greater than this value for a period of time greater than the reverse power trip time, a reverse power
shutdown fault will occur. This value is set in percent of rated real power (KW). See also
parameter :35. This feature requires the PF/KVAR mode switch at regulator terminal 41 to be enabled
or the droop / CCC mode (parameter :22) to be set as droop (0) on units with that parameter available.
This feature is intended to operate like an ANSI 32 protective relay.
Parameter :35 - Reverse Power Trip Time. The time, in seconds, required that the generator be
subjected to a reverse power level greater than the reverse power trip point before tripping a reverse
power fault (fault code 705). See also parameter :34.
Parameter :36 - Paralleling Integral Gain (optional feature). This parameter changes the transient
performance of the digital voltage regulator only when in KVAR or power factor mode. This is preset
at the factory for the generator and should not be adjusted unless the resulting effect is fully
understood. Increasing this parameter will improve the regulation accuracy but possibly more
unstable. It should be set similarly to parameter :37. This parameter was added on regulator part
numbers 155-xxxx and newer.
Parameter :37 - Paralleling Proportional Gain (optional feature). This parameter changes the
transient performance of the digital voltage regulator only when in KVAR or power factor mode. This
is preset at the factory for the generator and should not be adjusted unless the resulting effect is fully
understood. Increasing this parameter will make the generator more responsive to reactive load
changes but possibly more unstable. This parameter should be set similarly to parameter :36. This
parameter was added on regulator part numbers 155-xxxx and newer.
Parameter :38 - PF Switch Point (optional feature). Power factor cannot be calculated or regulated
at low power levels, so the regulator must have a default control until an appropriate level is reached.
This parameter is the amount of real current, as a percent of rated generator current, that is needed
before power factor (PF) mode becomes active when PF mode is selected. Until the real current
reaches this point, the unit will run in KVAR mode using parameter :33 for a reference. After the
generator has switched to power factor control, if the real current falls 5% below the value set for this
parameter, the digital voltage regulator will switch from the power factor control back into KVAR
control. This 5% hysteresis is built in to prevent ringing, or unstable operation. Parameter :33 must be
set to an appropriate level to ensure a smooth transition to PF mode. The rated generator current is as
defined in parameters :04 and :05. This parameter was added on regulator part numbers 155-xxxx and
newer.
Parameter :50 - Generator Output Frequency (view only). This parameter is the output frequency
of the generator as calculated by the digital voltage regulator. It is based on the measured frequency of
AC power input to the digital voltage regulator (PMG terminals 26 and 30), and the generator type
(parameter :03), SE or PM.
Parameter :51 - Generator Output Voltage (view only). This parameter is the true RMS output
voltage as measured by the voltage input of the digital voltage regulator (after the sensing voltage
transformers if present). The value is the average of all three sensing voltage inputs unless single
phase sensing is selected. The value is based on parameters :01 and :02.
Parameter :52 - Generator Output Current (view only - total current). This parameter is the
measured generator output current in amps of the "B" phase. The accuracy depends upon proper
adjustments to parameter :04 and parameter :05. For units with parameter :22, this monitor will read
zero if the digital voltage regulator is operated in cross current compensation mode (parameter :22 is
set to 1). For older models, this monitor will not be correct if the digital voltage regulator is connected
in cross current compensation mode. This feature requires the presence of a droop current
transformer. See parameters :04, :05, and :22.
Parameter :53 - Generator Reactive Output Current (view only). This parameter is the digital
voltage regulator calculated reactive portion of the generator "B" phase output current. It is the
reactive portion of the current represented in parameter :52. For units with parameter :22, this monitor
will read zero if the digital voltage regulator is operated in cross current compensation mode. For
older models, this monitor will not be correct if the digital voltage regulator is connected in cross
current compensation mode. This feature requires the presence of a droop current transformer. See
parameters :04, :05, and :22.
Parameter :54 - Generator Real Output Current (view only). This parameter is the calculated real
portion of the generator output current. It is the real portion of the current represented in
parameter :52. For units with parameter :22, this monitor will read zero if the digital voltage regulator
is operated in cross current compensation mode. For older models, this monitor will not be correct if
the digital voltage regulator is connected in cross current compensation mode. This feature requires
the presence of a droop current transformer. See parameters :04, :05, and :22.
Parameter :55 - Exciter Field Current (view only). This parameter is the measured exciter field
current (in amps) at the output of the digital voltage regulator.
Parameter :56 - Kilowatts (view only). This parameter is the digital voltage regulator calculated
measurement of the generator output in kilowatts. This function is only available on the PF/KVAR
optional version and when 3 phase sensing is selected. The accuracy depends upon proper
adjustments to parameter :04 and parameter :05. For units with parameter :22, this monitor will read
zero if the digital voltage regulator is operated in cross current compensation mode. For older models,
this monitor will only operate when the KVAR/PF control mode is enabled. This feature requires the
presence of a droop current transformer. Monitoring parameter :56 was previously providing only
single phase (phase "B") information for KW. Effective with serial number prefix "KE" and later,
digital voltage regulator parameters :56 and :58 now provide three phase information on KW and
KVAR. However, there is only one current transformer (CT) and the three phase information is based
on a balanced three phase load. If the load is unbalanced, the error will be proportional to the
unbalance. See also parameters :04, :05, and :22.
Parameter :57 - Power Factor (view only). The value of this parameter is the digital voltage
regulator calculated ratio of real power (KW) divided by apparent power (KVA), or the cosine of the
angle between those two. This function is only available on the KVAR/PF optional version and when
3 phase sensing is selected. The accuracy depends upon phase load balance and proper adjustments to
parameter :04 and parameter :05. For units with parameter :22, this monitor will read zero if the
digital voltage regulator is operated in cross current compensation mode. For older models, this
monitor will only operate when the KVAR/PF control mode is enabled. This feature requires the
presence of a droop current transformer. See also parameters :04, :05, and :22.
Parameter :58 - KiloVARs (view only). This function is only available on the PF/KVAR optional
version when 3 phase sensing is selected. This parameter is the digital voltage regulator calculated
measurement of the generator output in KVARs. There is only one current transformer (CT) and three
phase information is based on a balanced three phase load. If the load is unbalanced, the error will be
proportional to the unbalance. This parameter has been added effective with serial number prefix
"KE" and later units. The accuracy depends upon phase load balance and proper adjustments to
parameter :04 and parameter :05. For units with parameter :22, this monitor will read zero if the
digital voltage regulator is operated in cross current compensation mode. For older models, this
monitor will only operate when the KVAR/PF control mode is enabled. This feature requires the
presence of a droop current transformer. See also parameters :04, :05, and :22.
Parameter :60 - Hours (view only). This parameter is the number of hours that a measurable
frequency has been applied to the AC power input of the digital voltage regulator. This will typically
occur when the generator is operated above 15% normal rpm. Time is accumulated in 0.25 hours and
shown in full hours only.
Parameter :70 - Voltage Adjust (optional feature). This parameter is available only through the
serial communications port. It is designed to allow a remote control device (PLC) to modify the
regulated voltage level reference by up to ±10% from the value set in parameter :01. The minimum
value, 0 (zero), will decrease the regulated voltage level by 10%. The maximum value of 200 will
increase the voltage level by 10%. A value of 100 will leave the voltage level reference unchanged.
The value of parameter :01 does not change. The internal voltage reference value changes. The value
of parameter :70 is stored in computer memory but not in non-volatile memory. This feature allows
the remote control device to repeatedly send a new reference voltage value to parameter :70 without
risk of wearing out the non-volatile memory storage device. The value of parameter :70 will default to
100 (zero offset) on each re-application of +24 VDC power to "B+" and "B-". It will also reset to 100
(no offset) upon generator shutdown (defined as zero frequency). When the generator is restarted, it
will remain at 100 (no offset) until modified from the serial communications link. Refer to System
Operation, "Remote Communications". This parameter was added on regulator part numbers 155-
xxxx and newer.
If a remote voltage adjust rheostat is present, it will work in conjunction with the value of
parameter :70. The position of the remote voltage adjust rheostat is internally converted to a
percentage offset similar to that described above. The percentage offset from the rheostat is added to
the percentage offset from parameter :70 to create a combined offset. The net result will be limited to
a maximum total deviation of ±10% from the setting of parameter :01.
Parameter :71 - PF/KVAR Adjust (optional feature). This parameter is available only through the
serial communications port. It is designed to allow a remote control device (PLC) to provide the
regulation reference for control of power factor (PF) or KVARs when that operating mode is active.
The reference value (PF or KVAR) to be modified is determined by parameter :31. The actual
reference to be modified can be from either parameter :32 (PF) or :33 (KVARs), or from the remote
PF/KVAR adjust rheostat, if provided. Note, however, when parameter :31 is configured for PF
operation and the PF switch point (parameter :38) has not been reached, no remote adjustment of the
KVAR level is possible. Remote adjustment is only possible when the PF switch point
(parameter :38) has been reached. See the description of KVAR/PF operation for further clarification.
This parameter was added on regulator part numbers 155-xxxx and newer.
The numeric value range of parameter :71 is 0 - 200. It will act as a ± offset to the value of the
selected reference as calculated in the following manner.
• In the KVAR mode (parameter :31 set to 1), the offset is calculated as:
KVAR Offset = (Parameter :71)/100 - 1.
This offset is combined with the existing KVAR reference using signed addition, then limited so that
the resulting effective reference will be between 0 (zero) and 1.0 (maximum rated KVARs). Refer to
the explanation of parameter :33. A numeric value of parameter :71 larger than 100 will therefore
cause an increase in lagging KVARs. A value less than 100 will reduce lagging KVARs. A value of
100 will cause no offset change. The range of parameter :71 is such that the serial communications
control device can adjust the KVARs over the entire operating range, regardless of the setting of
parameter :33 or the remote PF/KVAR adjust rheostat (if one is present).
• In the PF mode (Parameter :31 set to zero), the offset is calculated as:
PF Offset = 0.4 x (1 - (Parameter :71)/100)
This offset is combined with the existing PF reference using signed addition, then limited so that the
resulting effective reference will be between 0.6 (minimum lagging PF) and 1.1 (maximum PF, 0.9
leading). Refer to the explanation of parameter :32. A numeric value of parameter :71 less than 100
will therefore increase the PF, making it less lagging (more leading). A value greater than 100 will
reduce it (more lagging). A value of 100 will cause no offset change. The range of parameter :71 is
such that the serial communications control device can adjust the PF over the entire operating range
only if parameter :32 or the remote PF/KVAR adjust rheostat (if one is present) is set for a PF of or
between 0.7 and 1.0. Adjustment of PF is still possible when parameter :32 is set outside 0.7 to 1.0 but
the full range is not available.
The value of parameter :71 is stored in computer memory but not in non-volatile memory. This allows
the remote control device to repeatedly send a new reference PF/KVAR value to parameter :71
without risk of wearing out the non-volatile memory storage device. Parameter :71 will default to 100
(zero offset) on each re-application of +24 VDC power to "B+" and "B-". It will also reset to 100 (no
offset) upon generator shutdown (defined as zero frequency). When the generator is restarted, it will
remain at 100 (no offset) until modified from the serial communications link.
If the generator installation is intended to be monitored and controlled by a programmable logic

controller (PLC) using serial communications to parameter :71, it is recommended that parameter :32
(PF) or :33 (KVAR) (whichever is intended to be remotely controlled) be consistently set to 1.0 PF or
0.0 KVARs, and that a manual PF/KVAR remote adjust rheostat not be connected. If a manual remote
adjustment rheostat is required, it should be disconnected with a control relay when the PLC serial
communications control is active so that the known numeric value stored in parameter :32 or :33 is
used for the offset calculation. The remote PLC will then have a consistent numeric means to control
the PF or KVARs regardless of the position of the rheostat. The exact expressions that the PLC would
need to calculate are listed below.
• Parameter :71 KVAR = 100 x (1 + Desired_PU_KVARs - Parameter :33)
• Parameter :71 PF = 100 x (1- (Desired_PF - Parameter :32) / 0.4)
If the above recommendations are followed (Parameter :33 = 0.0, Parameter :32 = 1.0, no remote
rheostat), values between 100 to 200 will set KVARs from 0 to 1.0 per unit and values between 200 to
75 will set the effective PF reference from 0.6 to 1.1.
Parameter :90 - Password. The Password function operates as a lockout to help prevent accidental
modification of other parameter settings. When parameter :90 is set to "0009", no other parameters
can be modified from the keypad or serial communication link (including parameters :70 and :71).
When parameter :90 is set to any other value, all configurable parameters may be modified from
either the keypad or serial communications link.
Parameter :91 - Software ID (PROM ID) (view only). Software ID (PROM ID) (view only). This
parameter is the number or version of the software within the digital voltage regulator, used for a
factory guided reference.
Parameter :92 - Latest Fault. This parameter contains the fault code of the most recently declared,
or current, fault that has occurred after the last fault was reset. It may contain either alarm or
shutdown faults. If a shutdown fault is active (has not been reset) and an additional fault occurs, the
additional fault will be ignored. However, if an alarm is active (has not been reset) and an additional
shutdown fault occurs, the alarm code will be moved into the Previous Fault location (parameter :93)
and the new shutdown fault will be stored in the Latest Fault location (parameter :92). When no active
fault is present (any previous fault has been reset) and parameter :94 is activated, the value of
parameter :92 is moved to :93 while leaving zero in :92. The fault code is retained during power-down
and power-up of the digital voltage regulator. For earlier digital voltage regulators, refer to System
Operation, "Parameters", the topic Parameter Exceptions.
Parameter :93 - Previous Fault. This parameter contains the fault code for the previous fault (both
alarm and shutdown faults) that was stored in parameter :92. There is an exception. This parameter
may contain an active alarm if an active alarm was present in parameter :92 and a shutdown fault
occurred. When the parameter :92 is cleared using the fault clear function (parameter :94), or a new
fault is declared, the fault code stored in parameter :92 is moved to this location (parameter :93), and
any previous fault code stored in this location will be lost. The fault code is retained during power-
down and power-up of the digital voltage regulator. For earlier digital voltage regulators, refer to
System Operation, "Parameters", the topic Parameter Exceptions.
Parameter :94 - Fault Clear. This parameter acts like a switch to clear fault codes from the latest
fault (parameter :92) and the previous fault (parameter :93) locations. In order to activate this
function, select parameter :94 on the display and press the function key. Each time the fault clear
function is used, the display will flash three times, the fault code stored in parameter :92 is moved to
parameter :93, and the display returns to parameter :01. If there is a fault code in the previous fault
location (parameter :93), it will be lost since the value from the latest shutdown fault will now occupy
that location. The fault codes stored in parameters :92 and :93 cannot be cleared until the active fault
has been reset. For earlier digital voltage regulators, refer to System Operation, "Parameters", the
topic Parameter Exceptions.
Parameter :95 - Alarm Fault. Parameter :95 is not used. For earlier digital voltage regulators, refer
to System Operation, "Parameters", the topic Parameter Exceptions.
Parameter :96 - Shutdown Fault Reset. This parameter acts like a switch to reset an active fault.
Resetting an active fault will allow the digital voltage regulator to begin regulation again and stop the
display from flashing the fault code. In order to activate this function, select parameter :96 on the
display and press the function key. The display will flash three more times and then return
parameter :01. Note, that if there is no active fault, the display will flash three times and remain at
parameter :96. This parameter applies to all alarm and resettable shutdown faults, fault codes 6xx and
7xx. In order to reset non-resettable shutdown faults (800 level), power-down the digital voltage
regulator (remove 24 VDC from "B+/B-" inputs). Resetting an active fault does not affect the contents
of parameters :92 and :93. Active resettable shutdown faults may also be reset using the Fault Reset
input terminal, refer to System Operation, "Customer Options". For earlier digital voltage regulators,
see System Operation, "Parameters", the topic Parameter Exceptions.
NOTICE
When a shutdown fault code is reset, the digital voltage regulator will
begin operation again. If the generator is being driven, it will begin to
regulate according to engine /generator speed and the regulation mode
selected.
Parameter Exceptions For Earlier Digital Voltage Regulators

The chart lists the serial number break between the earlier and the current fault parameters. All digital
voltage regulator part numbers starting with 116 (116-xxxx) and some of the regulator part numbers
starting with 130 (130-xxxx) use the earlier fault parameters. The current fault parameters will be
implemented on all versions of the digital voltage regulator built after March 1996. Another method
to determine if a digital voltage regulator uses the current fault parameters is to check the PROM ID
(parameter :91). A value of 1.03 or greater indicates use of the current alarm/fault parameters.
Note: Alarm and fault troubleshooting is discussed in Testing And Adjusting, "Fault Handling For
Earlier Digital Voltage Regulators".

Parameter :92 - Latest Fault. This parameter contains the fault code of the shutdown fault that first
occurred since this parameter was reset. If any additional shutdown faults occur, they are not recorded
until the existing fault is reset. The fault code is retained during power-down and power-up of the
digital voltage regulator. When a shutdown fault occurs, the corresponding fault code is automatically
flashed on the display. Any information shown on the display flashes until the shutdown fault reset
parameter :96 is activated. When no fault is present and parameter :92 is cleared, the value of
parameter :92 is zero.
Parameter :93 - Previous Fault. This parameter contains the fault code for the last shutdown fault
that was reset and cleared. When an active shutdown fault (parameter :92) is reset and cleared, the
fault code is moved to this location (parameter :93). The fault code is retained during power-down
and power-up of the digital voltage regulator. An active shutdown fault is reset using the fault reset
switch or the parameter :96. It is cleared and moved into parameter :93 using the fault clear
parameter :94.
Parameter :94 - Fault Clear. This parameter acts like a switch to clear fault codes from the latest
fault parameter :92 and the alarm fault parameter :95. Each time the fault clear function is used, the
alarm fault parameter :95 is cleared to zero and the value in the latest fault parameter :92 is moved to
the previous fault parameter :93. If there is a fault code in the previous fault parameter :93, it will be
lost since the value from the latest fault will now occupy that location. Clearing a fault code also stops
the display from flashing. Clearing DOES NOT RESET shutdown faults. Before clearing an
alarm/fault, check parameters :92 and :95 to see if an active fault is present, as this may aid in
troubleshooting. To clear a fault code, select parameter :94 on the display and press the function key.
Parameter :95 - Alarm Fault. This parameter contains the fault code of the first alarm fault that
occurred since this parameter was cleared. If any additional alarm faults occur, they are not recorded
until the existing alarm fault is cleared. The code is retained during power-down and power-up of the
digital voltage regulator. When an alarm fault occurs, the corresponding fault code is automatically
flashed on the display. The alarm code information shown on the display flashes until the fault clear
parameter :94 is activated. When no alarm fault is present, parameter :95 is zero. The regulator will
continue to operate when an active alarm fault exists.
Parameter :96 - Shutdown Fault Reset. This parameter acts like a switch to reset a shutdown fault
so that the digital voltage regulator can begin operation again. This parameter only applies to
resettable shutdown faults. In order to reset non-resettable shutdown faults, power-down the digital
voltage regulator by removing 24 VDC from "B+/B-" inputs. When a shutdown fault code is reset, the
digital voltage regulator is able to begin operation again. Resetting a fault code also stops the display
from flashing. Resetting does nothing to the latest fault parameter :92) or the alarm fault
parameter :95). In order to reset a resettable shutdown fault code, select parameter :96 on the display
and press the function key. Parameter :96 performs the same function as the external fault reset
switch. See the Customer Options diagram in Testing And Adjusting, "Wiring Diagrams".
