7E5253 Wiring Diagram.

* (1) Ground shields at grounding lug on the chassis plate below terminal 9. Keep grounding connections under 15.0 cm (6.0") in length.

* (2) Use a 2K potentiometer for up to 7.5% droop when using 2/3 actuator travel for 0 to 100% load. Make no connections to terminals 13 and 14 if droop is not required.

* (3) Remove jumper between terminals 11 and 12. If speed trim potentiometer or digital reference unit is used. If speed trim potentiometer is used, a high quality 100 ohm, 10 turn potentiometer similar to Woodward® part number 1657-537 is recommended. 100 ohms will give approximately ± 5% speed adjustment.

* (4) A solid ground connection must be made from "earth" or "ground" to the grounding lug on the chassis plate below terminal 9 to provide proper chassis grounding. Refer to local wiring codes for proper grounding methods.

* (5)

Do not use for emergency shutdown. The engine should be equipped with a separate shutdown device, to protect against overspeed which could result in personal injury, loss of life, and/or property damage.

* (6) Remove jumper wire if minimum fuel switch is used.

After all the wiring is connected, make sure the connections are tightened.
