1.0 SCOPE

1.1 These Set-Up and Calibration instructions have been developed for use in initial set-up andcalibration of the Digital Valve System on any refueling vehicle. They are also intended for use bythe operator during normal aircraft refueling operations and recalibration as required. Theseinstructions do not cover all requirements for aircraft delivery pressure regulation, which might bedictated by other authorities that have jurisdiction over the use of your vehicle. The responsibilityfor proper final pressure calibration configuration is yours. Consult with the local airport authorityor corporate authority for further information and guidelines.

1.2 Set-Up and Calibration instructions contained within this document pertain to all models of Carter brand64035 Digital Control Modules. The 64035 controls the operation of a pressure control valve (suchas the 64050, 64060, 64110, or 64120), or a pressure control coupler (64702 or 64802) inconduction with a 64102 Solenoid Valve Manifold Assembly.

2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES

2.1 One of the primary functions of the 64035 Digital Control Module is to perform “FlowCompensated Pressure Regulation.” It does this by reading the pressure and flow rate on therefueling vehicle, calculating the delivery pressure at the aircraft, comparing that calculated pressureto the delivery pressure target preset by the user, and then commanding a pressure controlvalve/coupler to match and maintain that target pressure. Operating one or more solenoid valves tocontrol fluid entering and/or leaving the control cavity of the pressure control valve/coupleraccomplish this. This is done for each available underwing nozzle combinations on the refuelingvehicle. Overwing nozzles are normally operated without deadman control.

2.2 The terminology “pressure control valve” is used in this document to refer to any valve mounted inthe flow path which controls delivery of fuel to the aircraft, including in-line style valves andhydrant couplers, and also to any valve mounted in a bypass return line.

2.3 In addition to Flow Compensated Pressure Regulation, the 64035 performs the following additionalfunctions related to aircraft refueling;

❑ Deadman control of fuel delivery.❑ Variable Deadman Timer to prevent defeating of Deadman Switch.❑ Adjustable Opening and Closing Timing of the in-line pressure control valve/coupler.❑ Flow Rate Limiting to protect meters and filters.

2.4 In addition, the 64035 allows the user to calibrate two different delivery pressures, selected aftercalibration through the use of a button on the front panel. This may be useful to utilize one refuelingvehicle to service two different customers with different delivery pressure requirements or it can beused to select between two different Flow Limits for the same nozzle(s).

2.5 When two pressure control valves (both an In-line and a By-pass Control Valve or an In-line ControlValve and a Hydrant Coupler) are used on the same vehicle, two 64035 Modules must be fitted.Both electronic control systems can be calibrated at the same delivery pressure. This is achievedwith simultaneous calibration of both systems as explained in a later section. When a single systemis used in conjunction with a Hose End Control Valve, it is recommended that the Digital Valvesystem be set up as the primary pressure control device and that it be set up at least 6 psi below theHECV spring setting. If a 45 - 47 psi is the desired operating pressure, then a 55-psi HECV shouldbe used. This will utilize the Digital Valve system to the utmost. However, if a 45 - 47 psi is thedesired operating pressure and if a 45 psi HECV is utilized, then the Digital Valve system must beset at 51 psi or greater, which means the Digital Valve system will be the secondary pressure controldevice. Please note that using the Digital Valve system, as the secondary pressure control devicewill cause the Nozzle Pressure display on the front panel of the 64035 to be inaccurate at times.This is due to the fact that the HECV acts as a variable orifice in the flow path. The Digital Valvesystem cannot compensate Nozzle Pressure calculations for a variable flow path. This will not

5

affect the ability of the Digital System to control pressure as a secondary controller when calledupon to do so in the unlikely event of a failure of the HECV. It only affects the accuracy of theNozzle Pressure display. All other Digital Valve system functions will perform correctly. As asecondary pressure controller, the pressure control valve controlled by the 64035 will simply go tothe fully open position (or fully closed in the case of the Digital Bypass valve) when the HECV iscontrolling, as would any other secondary pressure controller.

3.0 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 The following are explanations of the various controls and digital displays found on the 64035Control Module.

3.2 Operating Key Switch.

“Operate”The selector must be at position “operate” to fuel an aircraft.

REPEAT THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE WITH THE COMBINATIONS BELOWTHAT APPLY TO YOUR VEHICLE:

( Nozzle 1 or Nozzle 2 Active) and Indicator light at position “high”( Nozzle 1 or Nozzle 2 Active) and Indicator light at position “low”( Nozzle 1 and Nozzle 2 Active) and Indicator light at position “high”( Nozzle 1 and Nozzle 2 Active) and Indicator light at position “low”( Nozzle 3 or Nozzle 4 Active) and Indicator light at position “high”( Nozzle 3 or Nozzle 4 Active) and Indicator light at position “low”( Nozzle 3 and Nozzle 4 Active) and Indicator light at position “high”( Nozzle 3 and Nozzle 4 Active) and Indicator light at position “low”

CAUTION: The Controller allows the operator in refueling to press the button tochange the “Delivery Pressure” from high to low or vice versa. For this reason,you must calibrate with the indicator light at position high and then at position loweven if you do not expect to use both positions.

1. Connect the test bank transducer to its connector locatedon the front of the controller.

2. Connect a hose or combination of hoses (per the abovelisting) from the vehicle to the test bank.

3. Check that the light or lights that indicate these nozzlesactive are illuminated.

4. The function selector must be at position “OPERATE”.5. Put the Delivery Pressure indicator light at position

“HIGH” or “LOW”6. Rotate the function selector to position “MODIFY”.7. Press the button [PICK] three times.8. The indicator light “PRESSURE CALIBRATE”

illuminates.9. Close the Deadman Handle. To prevent unintentionally

doing this calibration, the Deadman Handle lamp will flashtwenty times.

10. During those flashes, you can open the Deadman Handle to abort this procedure without calibrating.After the flashing, fuel will dispatch and calibration will begin. Continue holding the DeadmanHandle closed for the following steps.

11. Use the manual valve to adjust the pressure at the mechanical meter of the test bank to the pressureyou desire to refuel at.

12. Wait at least 5 seconds then open the Deadman Handle when the pressure is steady. The controllercalibrates the pressure of this combination. Fuel flow stops.

13. Read the PSET pressure in the lower window. It must be the pressure desired.14. Rotate the function selector to position “OPERATE”.15. Repeat this procedure with the combinations listed previously.

4.2.8 Deadman Valve Timer Calibration – The system is equipped with a “timed out” or deadman timerto assure that the operator shall remain in control of the deadman at all times. The use of this function ispurely optional. It can be nullified (no timer) by setting it to “0”. The range over which the timer may beset is 0-10 minutes. The controller flashes its lamp for approximately 30 seconds prior to reaching its setpoint to signal the operator to restart the cycle. This permits the operator to restart the cycle early. If the

4.2.9 Programming Accessories Output Switch - Terminal 18 is an output located on the terminal stripon the inside back wall of the control box. It is normally high but will go to ground whencommanded by the controller. Its function on a refueler is to control customer equipment. (You arenot required to use terminal 18 or program it.)

Do not control equipment from terminal 18 directly withoutthe use of the relay.

This function can be programmed as follows:

A. It comes from the factory preprogrammed to follow theDeadman Handle. That is, you squeeze the DeadmanHandle and terminal 18 will go to ground. You open theDeadman Handle and terminal 18 will go to high. Thisis useful if there are two control boxes installed on thesame vehicle to pass the Deadman Handle on to thesecond box.

B. In a hydrant servicer terminal 18 is used to control solenoid C. Solenoid C is an extra solenoid, whichassists solenoids A and B to quickly close the coupler in the event of a large pressure surge.

To program terminal 18 for this:1. Turn the key to “MODIFY”.2. Simultaneously press both [UNITS] buttons.3. Press the lower [PICK] button several times until the top window displays “ CFG ”.4. Press the [INCREASE] or [DECREASE] button several times until the bottom window displays “

CRTR ”.5. Press the lower [PICK] button one more time.6. Return the key to “OPERATE”.

C. A new feature available in software version 2.70 will ground terminal 18 whenever the flow rate goesabove a programmable value. This could be used as a throttle control to raise a refuelers pump outputafter a soft start to prevent startup surges during dual nozzle overwing refueling.

To program terminal 18 for this:

1. Turn the key to “MODIFY”.2. Simultaneously press both [UNITS] buttons.3. Press the lower [PICK] button several times until the top window displays “ CFG ”.4. Press the [INCREASE] or [DECREASE] button several times until the bottom window displays “

THR ”.5. Press the lower [PICK] button several times until the upper and lower windows display “THR 50”.

This indicates a threshold of 50 gallons per minute from any nozzle combination. Flow rates of 50GPM or more will trigger terminal 18.

6. To increase or decrease these values use the [INCREASE] or [DECREASE] button. Its range is10-150 gpm.

7. Return the key to “OPERATE” to store this new value.

4.2.10 Changing the Default Power-up Selections – The system may be programmed to start up (powerup) in default positions for “UNITS” and either “HIGH” or “LOW” positions as desired. Thefollowing is used to set the desired defaults:

GPM, LPM, M3/HR PSI, BAR, KPA Delivery Pressure HIGH, LOW

To set the controller to automatically select your preferences each time it powers up :Start with the key in “OPERATE”.

A. Set each of the following indicator lights to thepreferred default.GPM, LPM, M3/HR; PSI, BAR, KPa; DeliveryPressure HIGH, LOW

B. Turn the key to “MODIFY”.The indicator light “OPENING TIME” illuminates.

C. Press the lower [PICK] button three times. The indicator light ”PRESSURE CALIBRATE”illuminates.

D. Return the key to “OPERATE” to store your selections.

If the fueling operator changes these selections (which he can do without the key) then thecontroller will return to the default selections selected whenever the controller is powered downthen powered up.

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING - REFUELER OR HYDRANT SERVICER SYSTEMS

For the system to function properly, it needs:

A. Pressure transducers that are not damaged.

B. Proper static calibration of all pressure transducers.

C. Proper & complete pressure calibration of all nozzle configurations used. (After having successfullycompleted static calibration of the pressure transducers.)

5.1 ERROR CODES AND TROUBLESHOOTING

If an error in the unit is detected an error code will be displayed inthis window. The various error codes that can be displayed aredefined as follows:

E1.1 This error can occur in the pressure calibrate mode caused byan invalid combination of hoses.

Either use a valid combination of hoses or Check for an intermittent nozzle interlock switch. Can alsobe caused by putting all nozzles in their holders while the pressure calibrate indicator light is stillilluminated. The controller will stop but can be restarted by turning power off then on.

E2.1, E2.2, E2.3,E2.4

If these display momentarily then disappear, they are temporary and minorerrors. Operation will continue normally.

E2.1 This error indicates that the static pressure transducer calibration was inerror.Transducer used in the calibration was improperly calibrated or else may bedamaged.After this problem is resolved by re-calibrating the transducer or replacing itthe entire pressure calibrate procedure must be repeated.

E3.1 This error indicates problems with the vehicle pressure transducer or itscable. The controller stops for the duration of this problem.

Replace vehicle transducer and repeat calibration procedure.

E3.2 This error indicates problems with the pressure transducer at the test bank orits cable. The controller stops this function for the duration of this problem.

Replace the test bank transducer and repeat calibration procedure.

E1.2, E1.3, E1.4, E1E4.1, E9.1

Problems in the control box.

Contact Carter for further instructions.

5.2 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER PROBLEMS

All of the pressure transducers used in the system are of the same type and areinterchangeable. Inside the transducer is a diaphragm, which flexes to match thepressure applied to the transducer. If a pressure greater than the proof pressure isabruptly applied to the diaphragm then the diaphragm will deform to such an extentthat it may not recover. One cause of this would be to shut off a manual valvedownstream abruptly while flowing. A permanently deformed transducer will signalhigh pressure regardless of the actual pressure and the high reading cannot beremoved by calibrating. Replace the tranducer.

If a multimeter is available and can be properly used one cancheck for a deformed transducer. Read the DC voltage acrossterminals 12 and 11 located inside the back of the control box. Agood vehicle transducer will read approximately one-volt DCwhen there is no fuel pressure applied to it. A damagedtransducer will read several volts higher.

Note that the damaged transducer could be on the test bank andnot on the vehicle.

In some cases it may be easier to troubleshoot by replacing thesuspected pressure transducer with one known to be in goodcondition.

5.3 NOZZLE INTERLOCK SWITCHES

The switches on the nozzle holders tell thecontroller which nozzle(s) are being used.

If the controller fails to function unexpectedly,check the active nozzles lights on the front of thecontroller. They should match the nozzles thatare out of their holders.

5.4 DEADMAN VALVE OR HANDLE

DEADMAN VALVE

If the controller fails to function unexpectedly,make sure that the “Deadman” lamp illuminateswhen you squeeze the Deadman Handle.

5.5 SOLENOIDS

The connections to the two solenoids can easily be misconnected. Thesolenoids are "off-the-shelf" items and both have an "A" stamped on theside. Solenoid B is the taller of the two as shown on the left. Also SolenoidB has a label describing it as type 212-B. Solenoid A's label describes it astype 212-A.

The solenoid block comes preassembled. Do not disassemble or remove anyparts from it. If the couplings on the manifold block do not match the tubingcoming from the vehicle, do not remove these couplings as they have specialorifices inside of them. The tubing connections must match the ones used onthe solenoids.

5.6 USING FLOW LIMIT MODE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEMS

CAUTION!Do not use the "Modify" mode to refuel aircraft.

Never use any mode but "Operate" to refuel.

5.6.1 Situations where this mode is useful in diagnosing problems include the following:

❑ To determine the maximum unrestricted (uncontrolled) flow rate of the vehicle.

❑ When two Digital Pressure Control Systems are installed on the same vehicle this mode can beused to bypass either one of the control units so that the other can be calibrated withoutinterference.

❑ In case the flow rate of the vehicle is suspected to be too low or there is little or none at all thismode can bypass the system to verify that the control unit is not the root cause. If flow with theunit in this mode is acceptable but is not when the unit is in the Operate mode then thecalibration of the system including the pressure transducer or pulser is suspect. If there is nochange of the flow rate in either mode the most likely cause is in the actuation part of thesystem, which includes the solenoid valves, the wiring or plumbing to these valves, or in thecase of a hydrant servicer the charge (pressure level) in the accumulator.

In the flow limit mode the controller becomes a simple open/close controller. When the deadman isactivated the solenoids are commanded to open the control valve fully and immediately. When thedeadman is deactivated the valve closes fully and without control.

❑ In this mode the pulser and pressure transducers do not affect the control valve.

❑ In this mode the calibration criteria do not affect the system.

❑ In this mode there is no pressure or flow control.

❑ In this mode the vehicle will simply dispatch fuel without any control on command of thedeadman.

5.6.2 To enter Flow Limit Mode for diagnosis purposes:

❑ Turn key to "MODIFY".

❑ Use the lower [PICK] button to select "FLOW LIMIT".

❑ The indicator light "FLOW LIMIT" illuminates signally that the system is in the Flow LimitMode.

❑ Activate the deadman valve to start flow and deactivate it to stop flow. Observe to check thesystem condition as noted above.

❑ Turn the key to "OPERATE" to exit this mode.

CAUTION!Do not use the "Modify" mode to refuel aircraft.

Never use any mode but "Operate" to refuel.In the "Modify" mode unrestricted and uncontrolled flow will result. If any manualvalves are closed during this diagnosis the action should be accomplished very slowly

to prevent potential damage to the pressure transducers.

5.7 PULSER

The flow rate displayed on the upper window of thecontroller comes from the pulser.

If the controller displays a blank or zero flow rate when fuelis flowing this can be caused by:

❑ Failure to wire the Pulser to the control boxcorrectly.

❑ Incorrect coupling of the Pulser to the MeterRegister such that the Pulser is not rotating whenthe Meter Register rotates.

❑ Failure of the Meter Register itself or its gearing.

If the flow rate displayed on the controller is incorrect this can be caused by:

❑ Setting the controller to display GPM (gallons) but the Meter Register is in liters (orvice versa).

❑ Failure to do the Flow Rate Calibration.

❑ Incorrect type of Pulser is installed. Check the system specifications to determinecorrect pulser.

5.8 TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUES SPECIFIC TO HYDRANT SERVICERS

THE CONTROLLER (SYSTEM) OPENS THE COUPLER AS FOLLOWS:A. The controller commands solenoid A open and solenoid B closed.

B. Air in the accumulator forces fuel through solenoid A, through the command hose and intothe coupler control.C. The coupler opens.D. If the pit valve is already open then the main fuel flow begins. Note the pit valve should beopened first.E. If the main fuel flow has a higher pressure than the air pressure in the accumulator then fuelwill force its way into the accumulator to recharge the accumulator for use the next time the systemis restarted.

5.8.1 USING ANY HOSE AS THE COMMAND HOSE. Symptom: The controller takes a long time toopen the coupler then has trouble maintaining control over the coupler.

Use type SAE 100 R3 (inside dimensions 3/8” or 9.5 millimeters) which is a hydraulic grade rubberhose ideal for mounting on a hose reel. This type may be a bit difficult to bleed air that is trappedwithin it.

Use type SAE 100 R7 (inside dimensions 3/8” or 9.5 millimeters) which is a light stiff hose subjectto creasing. It is ideal for wraparound mountings.

Check with the Carter Ground Fueling for updates on other possible types of hoses.

5.8.2 IT IS CRITICAL THAT THERE BE ABSOLUTELY NO AIR TRAPPED IN THECOMMAND HOSE. Symptom: The controller takes a very long time to open the couplerthen has trouble maintaining control over the coupler. Solution: Manually purge absolutelyall air from the command hose.

5.8.3 OPENING THE PIT VALVE AFTER THE COUPLER HAS OPENED. Symptom: Themain fuel line may repetitively surge then shut down because the pit valve is now in controlof the flow. Solution: Insure that the pit valve opens first and stays open.

5.8.4 FAILING TO FILL ONE SIDE OF THE ACCUMULATOR WITH AIR. Symptom:Without pressure from the accumulator the coupler won’t open to start the fueling.Solution: Precharge the air side of the accumulator to 40-60 PSI (while the fuel side isempty).

5.8.5 ACCUMULATOR NOT PRECHARGED WITH FUEL. Without pressure from theaccumulator the coupler probably won’t open to start the fueling. Solution: Precharge thefuel side of the accumulator until the fuel side pressure gauge reads up to 80-120 PSI.
