General Information
Introduction
This manual contains information on installation, operation, adjustment, and
troubleshooting for the 4–20 mA speed-setting system for UG-10 governors
(UG-10 MAS). The manual does not describe the operation of the UG-10D (dial)
governors. For complete operation of the UG dial governors, see manual 03040.
Description
The speed-setting system consists of an electronic control amplifier which
accepts the 4–20 mA signal and drives a stepper motor, which is mounted on the
cover of the UGD (UG Dial) governor. This unit in turn rotates the speeder rod
which sets the speed of the UGD governor. Chapter 4 contains a detailed
description of operation. The control amplifier is housed in a small cast aluminum
case (see Figure 1-2). The stepper motor and the feedback potentiometer are
mounted in the aluminum cover which is part of the UGD governor (see Figures
1-1 and 1-2).
Applications
The speed setting system is designed around a UGD type of governor to enable
its speed to be set from a remote location using a 4–20 mA current loop.
Its principal aim is to meet the need for remote control of engine speed in marine
applications using milliamp signals instead of the more traditional pneumatic
pressure signal. It can, however, be used in other situations where a UGD
governor is applicable.

Installation
Introduction
The milliamp speed setting consists of two items: the electronic control and the
cover assembly. The electronic control is contained in a separate box from the
UG governor. The cover assembly mounts on top of the UG governor. This
chapter covers mounting, connecting, and power requirements for these items.
Unpacking
Before handling the electronic control, read the electrostatic discharge
awareness information on page ii. Check all items for damage or for loose or
broken parts. If any damage is found, notify the shipper immediately.
Power Requirements
The electronic control requires a voltage source of 18 to 40 Vdc for operating
power. If a battery is used for operating power, an alternator or other battery-
charging device is necessary to maintain a stable supply voltage.
Location Considerations
Consider these requirements when selecting the mounting location for the
electronic control unit:
Adequate ventilation for cooling
Space for servicing and repair
Protection from direct exposure to water or to a condensation-prone
environment
Protection from high voltage or high current devices, or devices which
produce electromagnetic interference
Avoidance of vibration
Selection of a location that will provide an operating temperature range of
–40 to +85 °C (–40 to +185 °F).
The control must NOT be mounted on the engine, but as close to the UG
governor as possible. Try to avoid connections in excess of 10 m (33 ft).

UG-10 4–20 mA Speed Setting System Manual 26598
Electrical Connections
External wiring connections and shielding requirements for a typical control
installation are shown in the plant wiring diagram (Figure 1-3). These wiring
connections and shielding requirements are explained in the balance of this
section.
Shielded Wiring
All shielded cable must be twisted conductor pairs. Do not attempt to tin (solder)
the braided shield. All signal lines should be shielded to prevent picking up stray
signals from adjacent equipment. Connect the shields to the control terminals as
shown in Figure 1-3. Wire exposed beyond the shield should be as short as
possible, not exceeding 50 mm (2 inches). The other end of the shields must be
left open and insulated from any other conductor. Do not run shielded signal
wires with other wires carrying large currents.
Where shielded cable is required, cut the cable to the desired length and prepare
the cable as instructed below:
1. Strip outer insulation from BOTH ENDS, exposing the braided or spiral
wrapped shield. DO NOT CUT THE SHIELD.
2. Using a sharp, pointed tool, carefully spread the strands of the shield.
3. Pull inner conductor(s) out of the shield. If shield is the braided type, twist to
prevent fraying.
Power Supply
Connect the 24 V power supply leads to terminals 1 and 2 of the control
amplifier, positive to terminal 1, as shown in Figure 1-3.
6 Woodward
Manual 26598 UG-10 4–20 mA Speed Setting System
Stepper Motor
A total of five wires are required between the control and the stepper motor. Each
wire should be 0.8 mm² (18 AWG) or larger. The cable can be a five-core
screened cable or separate one- or two-core screened cable. Shielding is
optional, but if used, all screens must be terminated at the control amplifier end
only. The connections between the amplifier and the governor pins are:
Pin Terminal
A to 7
B to 6
C to 4
D to 5
E to 3
Feedback Potentiometer
The feedback potentiometer must be wired to the amplifier using screened one-,
two-, or three-core cable. Each wire should be 0.3 mm² (22 AWG) or larger. All
screens must be terminated at the control amplifier end only. The connections
between the amplifier and the governor pins are:
Pin Terminal
F to 13
G to 12
H to 11

Operation and Adjustment
Normal Operation
Once the milliamp speed setting system has been properly connected, the
engine may be started, stopped, and controlled according to the engine
operators instructions. The milliamp system is self starting on engine cranking,
provided the nominal 24 V supply is switched on to the control amplifier.
In the event of a fault in the control amplifier or loss of its 24 V supply, the
governor will continue to run at the last speed level. The speed can then be
changed by turning the manual speed setting knob on the front panel of the
governor.
When installing or first starting a milliamp speed setting system, follow the
procedures in this chapter.
Initial Start-up
The speed-setting system (consisting of a UG governor and a driver amplifier)
should be adjusted on the engine to the required speed range and ramp speeds.
If the system is already adjusted and only needs to be checked for proper
operation, skip the Initial Setup and Control Adjustments sections and follow the
Starting Procedure section.
When the system is not yet adjusted or a replacement control amplifier has been
installed, skip the Initial Setup section and follow the Control Adjustments and
Starting Procedure sections.
Where replacement items have been fitted in the UG governor assembly (such
as new cover assembly, potentiometer, or stepper motor), begin with the Initial
Setup section and continue through the end of the chapter.
Initial Setup
Where replacement items have been fitted in the UG governor assembly (such
as new cover assembly, potentiometer, or stepper motor), follow this procedure
and the remaining sections of the chapter.
4. Run the engine at the middle of the required speed range by rotating the
manual speeds setting knob.
8 Woodward
Manual 26598 UG-10 4–20 mA Speed Setting System
5. Mount the cover on the governor while keeping the shaft of the stepper
motor and the speed setting knob on the governor at the positions just
determined in steps 3 and 4.
6. Connect the driver to the governor as shown in the plant wiring diagram
(Figure 1-3).
Control Adjustments
In order to achieve the best results, follow the order of adjustments as given in
this section.
If the required speed ranges cannot be achieved with the potentiometer ranges
of the control amplifier, try resistance values other than 3.2 k.
Set the mechanical endstops out of the way by turning them about five turns
counterclockwise (see Figure 1-1 for the location of the mechanical endstops).
Set the input signal to 4 mA and adjust the IDLE SPEED pot for the desired
minimum controlled speed.
Set the input signal to 20 mA and adjust the RATED SPEED pot for the desired
maximum controlled speed.
Repeat the Idle Speed and Rated Speed Adjustments until no further adjustment
is necessary.
Mechanical Endstops
The mechanical endstops limit the speed range in case of failure of the milliamp
speed setting system in order to protect the engine from running at speeds either
too low or too high.
1. Run the engine at 25 rpm below the normal idle speed. Rotate the left
mechanical endstop clockwise until it hits the speed indicator gear. Lock the
screw with the lock nut.
2. Run the engine at 25 rpm above the normal rated speed. Rotate the right
mechanical endstop clockwise until it hits the speed indicator gear. Lock the
screw with the lock nut.
Woodward 9
UG-10 4–20 mA Speed Setting System Manual 26598
If the motor and the coupling are connected incorrectly, the motor
will not stop, but the speed setting will not be changed.
Be sure that the stepper motor does not hit against the endstop
under normal operation within the 4 to 20 mA range.
1. Run the engine at rated speed using the milliamp speed setting system.
3. Rotate the MINOR ALARM pot until the speed of the engine is at the
required level.
Ramp Rates
The UP RATE and DOWN RATE pots set the minimum time period in which the
engine can go from idle to rated and from rated to idle. Rotating the pot
counterclockwise will make the engine react more quickly, and rotating the pot
clockwise will make the engine react more slowly.
Starting Procedure
Before starting the engine, apply power to the control amplifier (terminals 1 and
2).
The following adjustments can only be made with the engine running under the
control of the UG governor as described below.
10 Woodward
Manual 26598 UG-10 4–20 mA Speed Setting System
4. Verify that the engine speed is under control of the UG governor by raising
and lowering the mechanical speed setting knob on the UG governor. Set
the engine speed to the idle speed level.
6. Restore the 24 Vdc supply to the control amplifier. The engine should now
run at the adjusted low speed level.
7. Set the remote signal to 20 mA. The engine should now run at the adjusted
high speed level.
If the above steps have been completed successfully, the engine is ready for
normal operation with the milliamp speed setting system.
If the milliamp levels do not correspond with the demanded speed levels, repeat
the procedures under the Control Adjustments section.

Description of Operation
The system consists of a UG governor fitted with a special cover and a separate
driver (Figures 1-1 and 1-2).
The cover includes a stepper motor that is connected directly to the speeder
screw in the governor. The other side is connected with sensor.
In operation, the driver compares the milliamp input signal with the voltage signal
derived from the potentiometer and runs the stepper motor to the position in
which the milliamp signal corresponds with the feedback signal. This results in a
speed setting proportional to the milliamp signal.

Troubleshooting
Indicated Faults
The following fault conditions will result in a system malfunction:
dc power supply below 18 Vdc
break in connection to the potentiometer
failure of the potentiometer or loss of supply to the pot
open circuit of the stepper motor or break in connection to the motor
If a problem or failure of the milliamp speed setting system is detected, stop the
engine and do the following tests:
2. If the supply voltage is good, remove the connection from terminals 11 and
13, and measure the voltage between these terminals. The voltage should
be 5.0 Vdc. If the voltage is wrong, replace the driver. Check the resistance
of the feedback pot (10 kΩ) connected to pins F, G, and H of the governor.
4. If no fault has been found, measure the resistance over the following pins:
A–E, B–E, C–E, and D–E of the governor. These should all be between 1.3
and 1.7 Ω. If not, the stepper motor or the stepper motor wires are broken.
5. If no fault can be determined by the previous steps, return the control unit to
Woodward for further investigation/repair.
