Section 6 • maintenance and troubleshooting preventative maintenance the only preventative maintenance required on the dgc-500 is to periodically check that the connections between the dgc-500 and the system are clean and tight. This device contains long-life, aluminum electrolytic capacitors. For d...
Step 6. If the mpu is shared with the governor, verify that the polarity of the mpu input to the governor matches the polarity of the mpu input to the dgc-500. Programmable inputs do not operate as expected step 1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected. Refer to figures 5-7 through 5-14. Step...
