SUMMARY: ATB120E4-GAC and 225 Series Installation Instructions and Parts List for Cummins NT
and KT engines provide an electromechanical actuator used for engine fuel control
positioning.
The Cummins P.T. fuel system is controlled with either a Normally Open or Normally
Closed Electronic Fuel Control (EFC) system with its actuator integrated in the P.T. pump
or a mechanical or hydraulic governor externally linked to the PT pump. GAC has actuator
and governor solutions for each control system offering Isochronous, Droop and Variable
Speed operation.

Cummins P.T. Governor System Options:
• EFC - Internal P.T. pump actuator with GAC Governor (Normally Open or
Normally Closed)
• GAC integrated metering valve / actuator with GAC Governor, replacing Cummins
control system.
• Mechanical Governor with 225 Series GAC actuator
The Electronic Fuel Control (EFC) system controls fuel delivery by metering the amount of
fuel fed to the mechanical unit injectors through a common distribution rail. The actuator,
in the EFC pump, controls the amount of fuel going into the rail, controlling the rail
pressure. The quantity of fuel delivered to the combustion chamber is the result of the rail
pressure level and the speed dependent time for that pressure to fill the injectors pumping
chamber. This means of control is also known as the Cummins PT (Pressure/Time) fuel
system.

SERIES ACTUATOR
The ADB120E4-GAC actuator performance has been improved from the previous design. These improvements
include:
1. The piston pin and lever apparatus are fully enclosed so eliminate external fuel leakage.
2. The piston pin to bore clearance has been increased eliminating any sticking caused by debris.
3. The check valve in the actuator outlet circuit has been upgraded to improve forward flow and reverse
flow check characteristics in the circuit.
PT fuel systems use both NORMALLY OPEN and NORMALLY CLOSED integrated actuators. You
must identify the type of actuator you have to pick the correct speed controller. PT pump actuators often
have the letter ‘C’, for NORMALLY CLOSED (N.C.), stamped between its terminals or the letter ‘O’ for
NORMALLY OPEN (N.O.). Referring to table 1, select the appropriate speed controller for either type
actuator.

1. Disconnect the engine starter battery and shut off the fuel supply before the filters.
2. Disconnect the electrical lines from the stop solenoid. Note the solenoid is polarized and the top screw is
battery positive.
3. Once the fuel supply line is closed, remove the fuel inlet and return from the pump.

4. Remove the four flange mounting screws. Note, the pump has no timing device so clocking its radial
position to the crank is not necessary. The pump is fuel lubricated so there should be very little engine
oil to spill.

6. Pull the EFC actuator out from the PT pump turning it slightly to overcome any resistance from the O-
ring adhering to its bore. Ensure O-ring seal did not fall out and is still in pump gland.

7. Clean the pump’s sealing surface making sure no debris particles or contaminates get into the pump.

8. Lift the gasket off the EFC actuator, it can be reused for the replacement cover.

10. Place the cover on the pump and torque the three screws to 2.8 N·m (25 lbf·in).

11. Once the pump, actuator bracket and actuator are installed, connect the fuel line from the pump to the
actuator and the line from the actuator to the rail, and connect the drain from the check valve to the
return fuel circuit.
12. Connect the fuel shut-off solenoid, the top terminal on the solenoid is positive. Open the fuel supply to
the filters.
