ust because it’s laminated doesn’t mean it’s written in concrete.
The laminated reprogramming instruction card for the MEP-807A 100-KW
TQG and the MEP-809A 200-KW TQG has two big errors. The reprogramming
instructions tell you how to change the voltage and frequency output of the generator.
The way the instructions are now written, you can’t do it!
So, generator maintainers, go to each of your generators and remove the laminated
instruction card on reprogramming and make these changes.
First, go to instruction 13. It now reads,
“Press Function Key on DVR once to
display data for parameter.”
Change it to read,
“Press Function Key on DVR
once to switch back to the parameter number.”
Now, go to instruction 17. It now reads,
“Press and hold up arrow key or down
arrow key to set the data for parameter :90 to 0009 to lock the DVR.”
Change
it to read,
“Press and hold up arrow key or down arrow key to set the data for
parameter number :90 to any number but 0009 to lock the DVR. DVR will
not stay locked when Engine Control Switch is switched from either COOL
DOWN/STOP to OFF/RESET and back to COOL DOWN/STOP or from
COOL DOWN/STOP to MANUAL START.”
The reprogramming information in both TM 9-6115-729-24 for the 100-KW
TQG and TM 9-6115-730-24 for the 200-KW TQG is correct. Only the laminated
instruction card that stays with the generator is wrong.

The
Right
Way to Reprogram
100-KW & 200-KW TQG…
Correcting a laminated card
takes
more
than just a grease
pencil or a marker. A correction
must be made that is
permanent
and
won’t rub off.
if possible, have
an additional
laminated card
made with the
corrections and
attach it to the
original.
if not,
correct it
in any way
you can
that is both
obvious and
permanent.
The
Right
Way to Reprogram
I’ve followed the
reprogramming
instructions to the
letter—
why
won’t
you reprogram?
it’s not my fault
or
yours. it’s just
not in the cards!
