OPERATION
Page 2-9
nals are compared with one another over a serial
communication line. If the Synchronization Criteria
(described in Section 2-11.2) is met, the throttle command
signal of the engine running at the higher RPM is lowered,
until the RPM's of both engines match.
2-11.2 Synchronization Criteria
Synchronization Criteria is met when all of the following are
true:
• Both Control Head levers are commanding at least 5% of the
throttle range.
• The commanded throttles are within a 10% window of one
another (approximately 6 degrees).
• Both Control Head levers are commanding Ahead clutch engage-
ment.
2-11.3 Synchronization Indications
The green LED located on the Control Head indicates the status
of synchronization.
• In Active Synchronization the green LED
blinks
every time there
is a change in the commanded throttle.
• When the green LED is lit
steady
, the engines are synchronized.
• When the green LED is
not lit
, the engines are not synchronized
and the Control System is not attempting to do so.
2-11.4 Turning Synchronization OFF:
A)Ensure that the Control Head's levers are positioned to a
point where Synchronization Criteria are met.
B)Press and hold the transfer button until the green LED blinks
and then goes out (approximately 2 seconds).
C)Synchronization is now OFF.
2-11.5 Turning Synchronization ON:
A)Ensure that the Control Head's levers are positioned to a
point where Synchronization Criteria are met.
B)Press and hold the transfer button until the green LED lights
(approximately 2 seconds).
•The green LED will blink as the system is working toward syn-
chronization.
•The green LED will become solid when the engines are synchro-
nized.
2-11.6 Turning Synchronization ON and OFF when Control Head Levers
are not within a 10% (6 degree) Window of One Another:
The actual synchronizing of the engines occurs when the Con-
trol Head levers are within the 10% (approximately 6 degrees)
window of one another. However, synchronization can be
turned ON or OFF when the Control Head levers are apart more
than the 10% (approximately 6 degrees) window of one another.
