Cummins/Onan — Dip Adjustment

Adjustments · Voltage Regulator VR21

From a Cummins/Onan service manual — check it applies to your exact model before use.

Applies to: Cummins/Onan DGBB, Cummins/Onan DGBC, Cummins/Onan DGCA, Cummins/Onan DGCB, Cummins/Onan DGDA, Cummins/Onan DGDB, Cummins/Onan DGEA, Cummins/Onan DGFA, Cummins/Onan DGFB, Cummins/Onan 4B3.9 engine

Procedure

  1. Turn the DIP pot clockwise to increase the voltage vs frequency slope for frequencies below the UFRO threshold.
  2. Greater slope gives greater voltage roll off as frequency drops, easing large load pickup but increasing voltage dip.
  3. Turn the pot fully counterclockwise to make the slope the same above and below the threshold frequency.
