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.
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:
• 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

General Information
Introduction
The TecJet™ 110 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 which 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 which matches the flow demand
level within the accuracy specified elsewhere in this manual.
Throughout the remainder of the manual, the TecJet 110 valve and
actuator system will be referred to simply as the TecJet 110.
The TecJet 110 has available RS-232 connections in the main connector for
program upgrades and service tool interfacing by qualified service personnel.

Installation
Introduction
Be careful when unpacking the TecJet 110. 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 110 on the valve position pointer or
the actuator electrical connectors. Notify the shipper and Woodward if damage is
found.
If the TecJet 110 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 110 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 31 kg (68 lb) weight of the TecJet 110. Refer to the
outline drawing in Figure 2-1 for dimensions and details relative to the valve inlet
flange and outlet flange.

Woodward 3
Electrical Connections
The TecJet 110 is connected to the control system (ECM) by the main connector
in Figure 2-2. The engine harness mating connector for the TecJet 110 is the
connector MS3106E24-28S. This mating connector should be torqued per the
value indicated in Figure 2-1.
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.
4 Woodward
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 110 Gas Metering System.

Keyswitch
F = Keyswitch
The keyswitch is not active in all TecJet configurations. The keyswitch is used to
switch the TecJet 110 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.

J = Discrete/RS232 Common
The CAN ID inputs are used to select which CAN identifiers will be used on the
CANbus. 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 110 is used on an engine. If
one TecJet 110 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 Shield
X = CAN Shield
The CAN Shield can be used to terminate the shield of the CAN wiring. Internally,
this pin is connected to the TecJet 110 case through a capacitor.
The 4–20 mA Analog Input is configurable as the mass flow demand input like
the PWM input.

Chapter 3.
Description of Operation
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.
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 1.1 Nxm (0.8 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 110 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
110 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
The TecJet 110 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 110 system fail. An independent fuel
shutoff device should also be used to shut off fuel flow in case the
TecJet 110 system fails.
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”.
Woodward 11
Position Limiter
After the TecJet 110 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 110 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 110 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.
CANopen Communications
The TecJet 110, 50 Plus, and Precision Flow devices support CAN
communications in the CIA CANopen Protocol format complying with DS301
version 4.02. Further detailed information regarding CANopen can be obtained at
www.can-cia.org. Information about CAN is available at
www.semiconductors.bosch.de. Specific information regarding TecJet
behavior is detailed below.
All TecJet CANopen messages use the CAN 2.0 11-bit Standard Data Frame
Format.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is tunable for 125, 250, 500, or 1000 kbps. The default is 250
kbps.
Node ID
The Node ID is tunable between 1 and 31. The default is 18.
CANopen State
The TecJet starts in boot-up mode, sends the required Boot Message, and then
goes to the pre-operational state. If configured for PWM demand, it will operate
based on the PWM signal regardless of the CANopen State (the valve is fully
operational.) Once it receives the operational command on the CANbus, the
PDOs will be available on the CANbus.
12 Woodward
This section lists the PDOs that will be sent from the TecJet.
The TecJet will use the standard connection set to assign PDO numbers. The

The TecJet 110, 50 Plus, and Precision Flow devices have a position hold
feature for use in analyzing or troubleshooting engine system operation. This
allows qualified operators to bypass the normal flow control function and specify
a fixed valve position. This mode is accessed in the Service Tool using the Tools
Æ Position Hold menu which can only be accessed with a password supplied by
Woodward.
The current valve position is displayed in the Position Hold dialog box. The valve
remains in flow control mode while the Enable Position Hold check-box is
unchecked. After the desired position is entered in the Position Hold Setting,
checking the Enable Position Hold check-box causes the valve to operate in
position hold mode where the valve position is controlled at the Position Hold
Setting value. Un-checking the Enable Position Hold check-box restores normal
flow control operation. Pressing OK closes the Position Hold window without
changing the position hold settings. Position Hold is automatically disabled after
10 minutes. It is also disabled if the service tool connection is lost for more than
10 seconds.

Fuel Type
The TecJet110 fuel metering valve is designed to operate primarily on specialty
gas such as landfill, digester, or other biogases. The valve is also compatible
with normal pipeline quality natural gas. Proper application of the valve for fuel
flow, pressure, energy content, etc. is the responsibility of the OEM. The fuel gas
flowing through the valve can consist of the components and limits indicated
below:
Component Specification
Gaseous hydrocarbons
(methane, ethane, propane, etc.): No limit
Carbon monoxide: No limit
Carbon dioxide: No limit
Hydrogen: <10%
Oxygen: No limit
22 Woodward
Overall the gas SG should be between 0.4 to 2.0 and energy content between 1
and 9.5 kWh/nm³. The values in ( ) are allowed, but may result in reduced valve
life.
Pressures
Inlet fuel gas pressure (FGP) should normally be between 50 and 275 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 275 mbar.
delta-p below this range is allowed during cranking and idle conditions, but
accuracy of the valve will be reduced.
Minimum proof pressure for the TecJet 110 is 0.41 bar gauge.
Minimum burst pressure for the TecJet 110 is 1.38 bar gauge.
Temperature
The following are the temperature specifications for the TecJet 110:
• 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 23
Flow Characteristics
Accuracy
The TecJet 110 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 110 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.

Maintenance
General
Build-up of deposits near the metering area of the TecJet™ 110 can develop
depending on the quality of the gas being metered. This build-up can affect the
performance of the TecJet and may appear as degradation of actual flow vs
command flow accuracy, or as flow control instability.
Limits of Applicability
Periodic cleaning may be performed and needed to ensure the best operation of
the TecJet. It is the customer’s responsibility to monitor the need for valid
scheduled maintenance, as this will vary depending on the quality of the gas in
the particular application.
The procedure below has been tested and validated for a particular gas
environment (mineral deposits); the applicability to other gaseous environment
needs to be validated by the OEM at the customer site.
Cleaning Procedure
When cleaning the metering element and the inside of the valve body, do not use
sharp objects that may scrape or dent the metering elements, as this could
degrade the accuracy of the valve. Any damage to the internal geometry of the
TecJet, especially the valve plate or bore area around the valve plate, will
change the calibration of the valve and void the warranty. High pressure washing
is not recommended. There are no components of the TecJet that are
replaceable or serviceable. Make sure that the power is disconnected before
removing the TecJet 110 main connector.
In applications where solids (mineral deposits) are found in the gas, the following
procedure should be used (this procedure can be performed at the site):

Service Options
OEM and Packager Support: Many Woodward controls and control devices are
installed into the equipment system and programmed by an Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) or Equipment Packager at their factory. In some cases, the
programming is password-protected by the OEM or packager, and they are the best
source for product service and support. Warranty service for Woodward products
shipped with an equipment system should also be handled through the OEM or
Packager. Please review your equipment system documentation for details.

This option allows you to call your Full-Service Distributor 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 Full-Service Distributor.
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 within 60 days, a credit for the core charge will be issued.
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.
