Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others.
To protect these components from static damage, you must take special
precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static

electricity on your body to ground by touching and holding a grounded metal
object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam

cups, cup holders, cigarette packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or
folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from the control, the
modules, and the work area as much as possible.
4. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
• Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
• Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the

components with conductive devices or with your hands.
• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling,
read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for
Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards, and
Modules.

General Information
Introduction
The TecJet™ 50 Plus product is an integrated, digitally compensated control
valve and actuator system for regulating and metering the flow of gaseous fuels.
The device is designed to accept a fuel rate demand signal. It also incorporates
feedback sensors that monitor fuel pressure, temperature, and valve pressure
differential. Based on these sensor signals, the device modulates the valve
opening to produce a physical fuel mass flow that matches the flow demand level
within the accuracy specified elsewhere in this manual.
The device is intended to be mounted on or very close to the engine. The

dominant application of this valve is gas fueled reciprocating engines controlled
by an electronic engine control system.
NOTE
Throughout the remainder of the manual, the TecJet 50 Plus valve and
actuator system will be referred to simply as the TecJet 50 Plus.
Connections to the TecJet 50 Plus

The TecJet 50 Plus valve has the following connections to the ECM (Engine
Control Module), and the engine harness:
Earth Ground Provided through ground lug on housing.

Power Input 18–32 Vdc measured at the TecJet 50 Plus.
Key Switch input Contact input to switch the TecJet 50 Plus in and out
of a low-power state.
CAN Bus In Configurable as mass flow demand input.
PWM Configurable as mass flow demand input.
4–20 mA Analog Configurable as mass flow demand input.
CAN ID Inputs TecJet 50 Plus number selection for CAN bus IDs.
CAN Termination Internal CAN termination resistor option.
CAN Bus Out Second set of CAN pins for connecting to the next
CAN device.
Status Output High side switch that changes state during a fault
condition.

Installation
Introduction
WARNINGS
The TecJet™ 50 Plus valve weighs 24 kg (52 lb). In order to prevent injury,
some form of lifting assistance (a lifting strap is recommended) should be
used when handling the TecJet 50 Plus.
The TecJet 50 Plus valve is pressure tested at Woodward. Allowable leakage
is less than 2 sccm or 0.00015 kg/h.
The TecJet 50 Plus valve is NOT equipped with an overboard drain in the
event of gas leakage through its various seals. The valve should therefore
be used in a well ventilated area. A methane detector should be used if the
valve will be used in an enclosed installation.
Be careful when unpacking the TecJet 50 Plus. Check the assembly for signs of
damage, such as bent or dented covers, scratches, and loose or broken parts.
Be especially careful not to rest the TecJet 50 Plus on the valve position pointer
or the actuator electrical connectors. Notify the shipper and Woodward if damage
is found.
If the TecJet 50 Plus is to be painted, appropriate means must be used to mask

the following items/areas:
• All identification and warning labels
• Main electrical connector
• Junction between the valve shaft and the valve housing (this is a dynamic
junction next to the valve position pointer)
Mounting
TecJet 50 Plus orientation and mounting must be designed to reduce the
possibility of fuel contamination. Orientation of the valve should be with the
actuator ±15° relative to horizontal with the sensor module skyward. The axis of
the valve bore can be +90/–15° relative to horizontal, with +90° representing the
outlet of the valve pointing skyward. Installations with a bore axis orientation in
the +15 to +90° range must incorporate means to prevent the buildup of moisture
or other liquids in the fuel train. The valve has an arrow indicating flow direction
cast into the outside of the valve housing. Washers should be placed between
the valve body and any fasteners used. Give consideration to the strength of the
mounting plate in order to support the 24 kg (52 lb) weight of the TecJet 50 Plus.
Refer to the outline drawing in Figure 2-2 for dimensions and details relative to
the valve inlet flange and outlet flange.
For on-engine applications, a suitable bracket must be constructed to brace the

actuator to a secure structure on the engine. See the outline drawing (Figure 2-1)
for the actuator mounting hole and hole-location details. This actuator mounting
configuration should ensure that moment loads are not applied to the actuator,
either through installation or thermal stress that could cause the valve to bind
and lose functionality.
2 Woodward
Figure 2-1. TecJet 50 Plus Outline Drawing
Woodward 3
The inlet and outlet piping of the TecJet 50 Plus must be in accordance with
ANSI/ISA-S75.02 to ensure the flow metering accuracy specified elsewhere in
this manual. However, an inlet piping length as short as 6 diameters and an
outlet piping length as short as 2 diameters can typically be used with a
negligible loss in valve metering accuracy.
WARNING
Leak check all gaseous fuel connections. Leaking gaseous fuel can cause
explosion hazards, property damage, or loss of life.
Electrical Connections
The TecJet 50 Plus is electrically connected to the control system (ECM) by the
main connector (Figure 2-2). The engine harness mating connector for the
TecJet 50 Plus is MS3106E24-28S. This mating connector should be torqued per
the value indicated in Figure 2-1.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard—Do not remove covers or connect/disconnect electrical
connectors unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be
non-hazardous.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d'explosion—Ne pas enlever les couvercles, ni raccorder /
débrancher les prises électriques, sans vous en assurez auparavant que le
système a bien été mis hors tension; ou que vous vous situez bien dans une
zone non explosive.
CAUTION
Due to the hazardous location listing associated with this product, proper
wire type and wiring practices are critical to operation.
Do not connect any cable grounds to “instrument ground”, “control

ground”, or any non-earth ground system. Make all required electrical
connections based on the wiring diagram in Figure 2-2.

Shielded Wiring
All shielded cable must be twisted conductor pairs. Do not attempt to tin (solder)
the braided shield. All signal lines should be shielded to prevent picking up stray
signals from adjacent equipment. Connect the shields to the correct pins on the
driver connector or wiring as specified in the wiring diagram. Do not connect
shields to the actuator ground. Wire exposed beyond the shield should be as
short as possible, not exceeding 50 mm (2 inches). The other end of the shields
must be left open and insulated from any other conductor. DO NOT run shielded
signal wires along with other wires carrying large currents. Where shielded cable
is required, cut the cable to the desired length and prepare the cable as
instructed below:
• Strip the outer insulation from BOTH ENDS, exposing the braided or spiral
wrapped shield. DO NOT CUT THE SHIELD.
• Using a sharp, pointed tool, carefully spread the strands of the shield.
• Pull the inner conductor(s) out of the shield. If the shield is the braided type,
twist it to prevent fraying.
• Remove 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation from the inner conductors. The shield
must be considered as a separate circuit when wiring the system. The
shield must be carried through connectors without interruption.
Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require

additional shielding precautions. Contact Woodward for more information.
Failure to provide shielding can produce future conditions which are difficult to
diagnose. Proper shielding at the time of installation is required to ensure
satisfactory operation of the TecJet 50 Plus Gas Metering System.
Earth Ground
Ground Lug = Earth Ground
In order to ensure CE compliance, the connection to the earth ground needs to

meet the following requirements. First, the connection must be less than 183 cm
(6 ft) in length. Second, the wire that is used must be at least 3.3 mm² (12 AWG)
in size.
Supply Voltage
W = Power-In (+)
Z = Power-In (–)
The supply voltage during normal operation must be 18 to 32 V, measured at the

TecJet 50 Plus connector. Steady state input current can reach 2.0 A, and
transient input current may reach up to 5.0 A. The recommended power supply
cable size is at least 1.3 mm² or 16 AWG. The power supply wiring must be
fused outside of the valve. The recommended fuse is a 6 A fast blow fuse.
Recommended maximum wire length from power source to TecJet 50 Plus valve
based on an 18 V Power Supply: 16 AWG (1.3 mm²)—12 m (39 ft*)
*Rated transient torque may not be achievable with an 18 V power supply. Listed
lengths will provide at least 75% of rated transient torque.
Recommended maximum wire length from power source to TecJet 50 Plus valve
based on a 24V Power Supply: 16 AWG (1.3 mm²)—51 m (167 ft)
6 Woodward
Keyswitch
F = Keyswitch
The keyswitch is not active in all TecJet configurations. The keyswitch is used to
switch the TecJet 50 Plus in and out of a low power state (less than 200 mA
input current). A high signal (connected to supply [+]) will allow the valve to
operate in a normal mode, and a low signal (connected to supply [–] or open
connection) will force the valve to a minimum position (if possible) and then into a
low power state. When the key switch input goes low, the valve will disable the
driver circuitry after the software has gone through a shutdown procedure.
PWM Input
K = PWM input (+)
L = PWM input (–)
The PWM input is configurable as the mass flow demand input. The PWM Input
is designed to be used with a push-pull type driver.
Input Magnitude: 7–32 V differential input

Input Impedance: 40 kΩ
Input Type: Single-ended, ground referenced
Frequency Range: 80–1100 Hz
Isolation: none
Resolution: 12 bits
Accuracy: 1.5% of full scale @ 25 °C

CAN ID Inputs
H = CAN ID 1
G = CAN ID 2
J = Discrete/RS232 Common
The CAN ID inputs are used to select which CAN identifiers will be used on the
CAN bus. With no programming tools, the customer can select from the four pre-
programmed CAN IDs through a hard-wired code in the engine harness. This is
especially important where more than one TecJet 50 Plus is used on an engine.
If one TecJet 50 Plus valve is replaced with another, the new valve will read the
correct ID number from the engine harness connector. See the table below for
the code definition.

CAN Termination
P = Termination resistor
Q = Termination resistor
The internal termination resistor (120 Ω) is used to terminate the CAN bus.
According to the CAN specification, every CAN bus must be terminated at both
ends of the bus. If a TecJet 50 Plus valve is connected to the far end of the bus,
this termination resistor can be used. If termination is needed, connect a link
between pins P and Q. This link should be as short as possible. If no termination
resistor is needed, leave pins P and Q unconnected.
WARNING
If the internal termination is used, other devices on the CAN bus may not
operate properly when the TecJet 50 Plus valve is disconnected from the
bus. An external termination resistor should be used if there are other
devices on the CAN bus that must not lose communication when the TecJet
50 Plus valve is disconnected.
CAN In
R = CAN high in
S = CAN low in
V = CAN GND
Pins R, S, and V are the CAN communication wires. Make sure that the correct
cable is used for connection to the CAN terminals (SAE J1939/11).
Voltage Level: 5V
Isolation: 1000 Vrms (optically decoupled)
Type: The TecJet 50 Plus valve supports CAN 2.0B.
Baud Rate: Configurable from 250 K to 1 Meg
CAN Out
T = CAN high out
U = CAN low out
V = CAN GND
The CAN output pins are internally connected to the CAN input pins. They are
provided for linking more then one TecJet 50 Plus to the CAN bus without the
need for junction boxes or doubled terminations to connector pins. For example,
the CAN bus from the control may be connected to the input pins, and the output
pins are connected to the second TecJet 50 Plus input pins.
WARNING
If a second device is connected to the CAN output pins, this device will lose
communication if the TecJet 50 Plus valve is disconnected.

Chapter 3.
Description of Operation
WARNINGS
Due to typical noise levels in engine environments, hearing protection
should be worn when working on or around the TecJet™ 50 Plus.
Burn Hazard—The surface of this product can become hot enough or cold
enough to be a hazard. Use protective gear for product handling in these
circumstances. Temperature ratings are included in the specification section
of this manual.
CAUTION
Explosion Hazard—External fire protection is not provided in the scope of
this product. It is the responsibility of the user to satisfy any applicable
requirements for their system.
Configuration
The valve can be configured to accept a flow demand from the analog input, the
PWM input, or the CAN port. The configuration also includes user adjustable
warning limits, and default values for failed sensor backup modes. The
configuration can be viewed or changed using the TecJet Service Tool. See
Chapter 6 for information on installing the service tool.
Power-on Procedure
When power is applied to the valve, it performs a diagnostic check. If there are
no problems detected, the actuator is enabled with 0.56 Nxm (0.41 lb-ft) of
torque, and the valve closes. If the flow demand source is configured for EGS
CAN or Jenbacher CAN, the valve reads the CAN ID input pins and begins
sending diagnostic information on the CAN link. If a problem is detected, the
valve will not operate and the status output will indicate a fault.
The TecJet 50 Plus is typically continuously connected to the supply voltage. If

the flow demand source is configured to Jenbacher CAN, the key switch has no
effect. If the flow demand source is configured for anything else, the key switch
input must be connected to a high signal (supply [+]) for the valve to operate.
When the key switch is off, the valve closes, if possible, and the actuator that
positions the valve is disabled to minimize the amount of current drawn from the
battery.
Normal Operation
If a valid flow demand is present, the valve begins normal operation. The TecJet
50 Plus calculates the area needed to provide the requested flow. This area is
calculated using the delta pressure (inlet to outlet pressure differential), the
absolute inlet fuel gas pressure, the fuel gas temperature, the fuel gas ratio of
specific heats (K), the fuel gas density, and the calibration information stored in
the valve. The actuator positions the valve to achieve the calculated area
requirement.
10 Woodward
Diagnostics
WARNING
The TecJet 50 Plus may not return to minimum fuel for all faults. The engine,
turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an overspeed,
misfire, detonation detection shutdown device(s), that operate totally
independently of the prime mover control device(s) to protect against
runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover with
possible personal injury or loss of life should the TecJet 50 Plus system fail.
An independent fuel shutoff device should also be used to shut off fuel flow
in case the TecJet 50 Plus system fails.
The valve continuously performs a variety of diagnostic checks. Diagnostic

events are classified as warnings, errors or status indications. The status output
indicates the overall status of the valve. For more detailed information and a
complete list of the diagnostics, see the User Guide in the TecJet Service Tool. A
brief summary follows:
Warnings:
A warning indicates a condition that may require an operator’s attention or
intervention. For example, the valve may be operating in conditions that are
outside its specification range, or a failure has occurred for which there is a back-
up mode of operation, possibly with reduced accuracy or performance. If any
warnings are active, the status output is “off”.
Errors:
An error indicates a problem that prevents the valve from operating. The valve
closes, if possible, and remains inoperable until power is cycled. If the error
persists, the valve requires service. If any errors are active, the status output is
“off”.
Status indications:
The valve provides the following status indications:
• Zero flow detected—The flow demand is not present or is not valid. The
valve is closed and the status output is “off”.
• Zero pressure detected—The pressure across the valve is essentially
zero, so no flow can occur. The valve is closed and the status output is “off”.
• Flow not reached—The valve cannot achieve the demanded flow given the
present operating conditions (fuel gas temperature and pressure, delta
pressure, gas K and density). The status output is “off”.
• Overall status OK—There are no errors or warnings, and the Flow not
detected, Zero flow detected, and Flow not reached status indications are
not true. The status output is “on”.
See Chapter 5 (Troubleshooting) for more information on non-normal operation.
Run Hours Counter

The valve maintains a running hours counter that can be viewed or reset with the
service tool. Running hours do not accumulate when the “Flow not detected”
status indication is true.
Woodward 11
Position Limiter
After the TecJet 50 Plus is powered up and receives a flow command, the valve
remains in a closed position until the delta-p sensor senses a non-zero valve
delta-p. This non-zero delta-p is established when the fuel source is turned on.
Once the non-zero valve delta-p is sensed, the valve is positioned according to
an interpolated value from the position limiter table. This table contains three
position vs flow command points. By limiting the valve position as the fuel
pressure is established, the delta-p required for the TecJet 50 Plus to begin
metering fuel is obtained at a lower fuel flow rate. This function ensures that
adequate delta-p will be created, even with a substantially drooping fuel source,
to allow the TecJet 50 Plus to begin metering fuel.
Here is an example. During start-up, if the valve is operating under very low
differential pressure, and the valve indicates a "flow not reached" condition, but
the valve position is less than 1.2 radians, then the valve position is being limited
by the table values as indicated above. This situation can generally be resolved
by increasing the differential pressure across the valve by increasing the valve
pre-pressure.
NOTE
After any pressure adjustments, ensure during normal operation that pre-
pressure and differential pressure are operating within the ranges specified
in the General Specifications section of this manual.

life.
Pressures
Inlet fuel gas pressure (FGP) should normally be between 50 and 345 mbar
gauge. The valve is sized to provide rated flow specified in this specification for
operation from 0 to 1500 m. Above this altitude the flow capacity will be reduced
with decreasing absolute FGP. The Inlet FGP sensor will compensate for
barometric pressure to 3000 m. Pressures below 50 mbar are allowed at high
load operation assuming that the gas differential pressure requirements are still
met.
Fuel gas differential pressure (delta-p) should be between 70 and 345 mbar.
delta-p below this range is allowed during cranking and idle conditions, but
accuracy of the valve will be reduced. For delta-p above 275 mbar, flow accuracy
will also decrease. Refer to the Accuracy section later in this chapter for further
details.
Minimum proof pressure for the TecJet 50 Plus is 0.52 bar gauge. Minimum burst
pressure for the TecJet 50 Plus is 1.72 bar gauge.
Temperature
The following are the temperature specifications for the TecJet 50 Plus:
• Steady State Case Temperature: –20 to +90 °C (–4 to +194 °F)
• Stead State Ambient Temperature: –20 to +85 °C (–4 to 185 °F)*
• Long Term Storage Temperature: –40 to +40 °C (–40 to +104 °F)**
• Short Term Storage Temperature: –40 to +105 °C (–40 to +221 °F) **
• Fuel Gas Inlet Temperature: 0 to 65 °C (32 to 149 °F)
Woodward 13
* The actuator case temperature is limited to 95 °C (203 °F). If the actuator is
running under high steady-state load continuously, then the ambient temperature
should be limited to 75 °C (167 °F).
** The unit is un-powered during storage temperature.
Vibration and Shock

Random Vibration: Exceeds WGC RV2, 10–2000 Hz @ 0.1 G²/Hz (12.8
Grms)
Shock: Per US MIL-STD-810C, Method 516.2, Procedure 1,
(40 g)
Flow Characteristics
Accuracy
The TecJet 50 Plus meters fuel accurately such that the engine starts
consistently and accelerates smoothly to idle speed. The required fuel delivery
up to 7% of valve maximum rated mass flow is within ±20% of the mass flow
demand. Throughout the load range, from idle to 100% load, the TecJet 50 Plus
regulates the fuel delivery accurately relative to the fuel flow demand in order to
reduce combustion emissions and protect the engine against detonation. The
accuracy is within ±10% of the mass flow demand from >7% to 25% of valve
maximum rated mass flow and within ±6% of the mass flow demand above 25%
of valve maximum rated mass flow.
For delta-p above 275 mbar, an additional 1.5%, 1%, and 0.5%, respectively,
should be added to the accuracy values stated above.

Valve Sizing
Figures 4-1 and 4-2 show the maximum and minimum amounts of gas that the
TecJet™ 50 Plus will flow as a function of pressure differential in kPa(d). Figure
4-1 indicates flow values for specialty gas, while Figure 4-2 indicates flow values
for natural gas. Plots for the TecJet 110 and the TecJet 50 are also shown for
comparison purposes.
Comparing the TecJet 50 Plus vs Application Maximum Flow Rate

Choose the correct graph depending on your application flow media. Determine
the maximum flow rate for your application in a metric mass flow rate (kg/h).
Increase this value by 15% to ensure that the TecJet 50 Plus will handle the
maximum flow requirement under all conditions. Find this increased flow value
on the left-side Y-axis of the graph. Next, determine the approximate valve
pressure drop at the actual maximum flow for your application. Locate this value
on the X-axis of the graph. Metric [kPa(d)] units are provided. Note that the
graphs assume the application outlet pressure is at sea level atmospheric
pressure. Take the increased flow rate value and the pressure drop value, and
determine where they cross on the graph. This is the maximum flow operating
point for your application. This point should fall below the maximum flow plot for
the TecJet 50 Plus.
Comparing the TecJet 50 Plus vs Application Minimum Flow Rate

Choose the correct graph depending on your application flow media. Determine
the minimum flow rate for your application in a metric mass flow rate (kg/h).
Reduced this value by 10% to ensure that the TecJet 50 Plus will handle the
minimum flow requirement under all conditions. Find this reduced flow value on
the right-side Y-axis of the graph. Next, determine the approximate valve
pressure drop at the actual minimum flow for your application. Locate this value
on the X-axis of the graph. Metric [kPa(d)] units are provided. Note that the
graphs assume the application outlet pressure is at sea level atmospheric
pressure. Take the reduced flow rate value and the pressure drop value, and
determine where they cross on the graph. This is the minimum flow operating
point for your application. This point should fall above the minimum flow plot for
the TecJet 50 Plus.

Service Options
Product Service Options

The following factory options are available for servicing Woodward equipment,
based on the standard Woodward Product and Service Warranty (5-01-1205)
that is in effect at the time the product is purchased from Woodward or the
service is performed:
• Replacement/Exchange (24-hour service)
• Flat Rate Repair
• Flat Rate Remanufacture
If you are experiencing problems with installation or unsatisfactory performance

of an installed system, the following options are available:
• Consult the troubleshooting guide in the manual.
• Contact Woodward technical assistance (see “How to Contact Woodward”
later in this chapter) and discuss your problem. In most cases, your problem
can be resolved over the phone. If not, you can select which course of
action you wish to pursue based on the available services listed in this
section.
Replacement/Exchange
Replacement/Exchange is a premium program designed for the user who is in
need of immediate service. It allows you to request and receive a like-new
replacement unit in minimum time (usually within 24 hours of the request),
providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the request, thereby
minimizing costly downtime. This is also a flat rate structured program and
includes the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205).
This option allows you to call in the event of an unexpected outage, or in

advance of a scheduled outage, to request a replacement control unit. If the unit
is available at the time of the call, it can usually be shipped out within 24 hours.
You replace your field control unit with the like-new replacement and return the
field unit to the Woodward facility as explained below (see “Returning Equipment
for Repair” later in this chapter).
Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. You are invoiced the flat rate replacement/exchange charge
plus a core charge at the time the replacement unit is shipped. If the core (field
unit) is returned to Woodward within 60 days, Woodward will issue a credit for
the core charge. [The core charge is the average difference between the flat rate
replacement/exchange charge and the current list price of a new unit.]
Return Shipment Authorization Label. To ensure prompt receipt of the core,

and avoid additional charges, the package must be properly marked. A return
authorization label is included with every Replacement/Exchange unit that leaves
Woodward. The core should be repackaged and the return authorization label
affixed to the outside of the package. Without the authorization label, receipt of
the returned core could be delayed and cause additional charges to be applied.
Woodward 27
Flat Rate Repair
Flat Rate Repair is available for the majority of standard products in the field.
This program offers you repair service for your products with the advantage of
knowing in advance what the cost will be. All repair work carries the standard
Woodward service warranty (Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-
1205) on replaced parts and labor.
Flat Rate Remanufacture

Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat Rate Repair option with the
exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like-new” condition and carry
with it the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205). This option is applicable to mechanical products
only.
