For the governor there are three parameters which
regulates the engine control:
Cntl Gain controls how much the fuel supply
is changed when there is a variation in speed.
Cntl Stability adjusts the fuel flow to the
engine until the speed error is eliminated.
Cntl Deadtime which makes a rapid change
to the fuel supply when there is a rapid
change of speed.
Act Gain and Act Stability show the settings
of the actuator solenoid on the injection

Explanation of the other parameters

shown on the Configuration screen:

In the Governor Configuration menu the

following parameters can be changed.
- Low idle (Min Spd Req). Actual low idle is
governed by the speed droop.
- Speed droop (Droop 1 and Droop 2)
Values between 0-20 % are accepted for the
speed droop. Normally only map 2 is used to
govern the speed droop.

Teeth = number of teeth on the flywheel gear

ring
Max spd Req = In the unloaded mode the
value displayed is high idle speed (DIPswitch
7 in ON position, normal position)
In the loaded position the value displayed is
full load speed (DIPswitch 7 in OFF position).

- The limited operating power (LOP power) in

percent can be changed. It is normally 100% on
delivery.

Surge time = shows the period over which the

engine can be run at a higher power level
than is programmed for this function
(power/torque map 2) (OEM only)

In order to switch between Droop 1 and Droop 2,

the position of DIPswitch 8 underneath the round
black rubber cap on the control panel must be
changed.
Position OFF means Droop 1.

Recovery time = shows the period for which

the engine must be run according to
power/torque map 1 before the higher power
level (map 2) can be used again. (OEM only)
Note: It is not normal to have two torque
maps. Normally Map 1= Map 2

Changing parameters
In the single speed version, two operating speeds
can be adjusted.
- The two most common speeds for generating
sets, 1500 or 1800 rpm can be preprogrammed
by Scania. The minimum and maximum speeds
are programmed at the same level when
delivered from Scania.
- If both 1500 and 1800 rpm are required, this
must be specified separately when ordering the
engine.
If the speed needs to be switched, DIPswitch no. 6
underneath the round black rubber cap on the
control unit must be changed.
- Normally the speed is 1800 rpm with the
switch in the ON position and 1500 rpm in the
OFF position.

This applies if speed droop has been selected. For

further information on switching between
isochronous and droop operation, see installation
instructions.
There is an option for externally switching
between low idle and operating speed with an
extra switch connected to the control unit.
When the Run/Idle input on the control unit is
switched to Battery-, the engine runs at idle and
when it is switched to Battery+ the engine will
run at the required operating speed. See
installation instructions.

- Values of between 0-20 % are accepted for the

speed droop. When the engine is delivered
from Scania, Map 1 is used to set the speed
droop. The basic value is 4.0%

Governor Calibration: All speed and single speed engines

Calibration procedure
The menu for calibrating the governor (A) gives
an option to calibrate and match the injection
pump to the control unit.
This calibration must be carried out when the
control unit or injection pump have been replaced.
- Make sure that power to the control unit has
been switched off.
- Remove the round, black, rubber cap over the
DIPswitches in the control unit. Set DIP switch
3 in the OFF position. See illustrations on next
page.
- Remove the red warning (Caution) label on the
control unit carefully, so that the label is not
damaged, to expose the calibration hole. After
the calibration the label should be put back to
cover the hole.
- Remove the cover over the COMM/DIAG
PORT and connect the computer cable with the
DEC end to this port.

20.3

The calibration procedure involves the adjustment

of two voltage levels:
- at control rack travel = 0 mm and
- at control rack travel = 20.3 mm.
This is done with the two trim pots located at
positions 2 and 3 in the control unit illustrations
on pages 12 and 13.
Both trim pots are adjusted in the same way.
When they are turned clockwise the voltage
reading will increase and vice versa.
However, the resulting effects are different.
- trim pot 2 shifts the entire measuring range, i.e.
both values are increased or decreased.
- trim pot 3 increases or decreases the measuring
range between the two values.
Normally only very small adjustments are
required.

14

Scania CV AB, Sweden, 2001-06:2

03:03-03

Important! Turn on the power to the control

unit. Check that DIP switch 3 is in
the OFF position. If there is a
Run/Stop switch, it should be set in
the Run position.

- Adjustment to reach these values is carried out

with calibration screws 2 and 3.

In the first screen (page 11), the control unit will

ask for a value for "control rack travel".
- First read off the voltage value on the
multimeter with control rack travel = 0. The
voltage should be 0.454 (0.450-0.458) volts
DC.

Note: The control unit may switch to

Shutdown during the calibration. By
turning off power to the control unit
momentarily, the function is reset to
normal and the calibration
procedure can be resumed.

- Then insert the value 20.3 (maximum control

rack travel) and press Enter. Refer to
illustration on page 11.
- The control unit now moves the control rack
twice to maximum and back to zero. At the
same time Sending fuel rack travel .... is
displayed on the screen.

- Repeat the procedure and check that the correct

values have been obtained.

Summary of calibration data:

Saving the calibration

When the calibration procedure has been

completed and accepted, the message Calibration
has passed appears.
Save the calibration as follows:
- Press the space bar so that the text Enter choice
appears.
- Save the required Calibration by pressing F2.
- Check that a green text is flickering in the
bottom left hand corner, which confirms that
the save function is working.

16

- Set DIPswitch 3 in the control unit to the ON

position (standard position).
- Press ESC twice and confirm by pressing Y to
Exit.
Note: If an non-approved calibration is
saved, the engine cannot be started
until an approved calibration is
carried out and saved.

Scania CV AB, Sweden, 2001-06:2

03:03-03

Calibration has failed

Final check

- If the calibration values are outside the

approved range, the message Calibration has
failed will appear.
- If this happens, the calibration procedure must
be repeated from the beginning.
Note: The calibration may fail even if the
voltage values are correct. In this
case it is also necessary to repeat
the calibration procedure.

Turn off the power to the control unit and then

turn on the power again.
- Open the Calibration window and check the
values for Act F/B Offset and Act F/B Range.
- Act F/B Offset should be within 81-102
CNT (RV=0).
- Act F/B Range should be within 921-942
CNT (RV=20.3).
Note: If the voltage values are correct but
the CNT values are outside the limit
values, the voltage values must be
changed to obtain the correct CNT
values and an approved calibration.
- Press F3 if you wish to store this data in a
separately named PC file.
- Exit the program as before and turn off the
power.
- Disconnect the computer cable and restore the
control unit to normal.
