ENGINE CONDITION

For proper AFRC operation, it is critical that the engine be in good operational status. Verify the following before running the AFRC:

• Valves are adjusted to factory specification
• Spark plugs are properly gapped and in good condition
• Cylinders have good compression
• Mixers are in good condition and regulator fuel pressure is set to factory specification
• Fuel connections are secure and leak-free
• Ignition system functioning correctly and timing set appropriately for fuel composition

CONTROLLER SETUP

While the engine is not running, perform the following steps to prepare the controller for operation:

• "AFRC module is installed and wired
• Digital power valve(s) are installed
• Secure the front panel of the EIM to the enclosure by re-tightening the four (4) front panel screws
• Run signal source is properly connected
• Run signal source is properly selected on the Run Signal Trigger screen (Pg. 10)
• Fuel connections are secure and leak-free
• Load valve manual adjustments on external dynamic valves are fully open (full rich, or seven turns from fully closed) for startup only
• Enter Setup or Engineering mode on the controller by entering the appropriate password
• Set the “Control” toggle button on the AFRC Home screen (Lite Pg. 300, Adv. Pg. 200) to “Manual”

The engine can now be started.

VALVE SETUP

No valve setup required unless an External Dynamic or 600 Series valve is being used. For information on these valve types, their setup, and operation refer to “APPENDIX D. EXTERNAL DYNAMIC AND 600 SERIES VALVES”.

SENSOR SETUP

The AFRC Advanced has the following optional sensor inputs available for process monitoring, run signal, and mapping:
