Plenty of Options Too!
Engine
Synchronization:
Engine synchronization electronically matches engine speeds of two or more
engines as long as the control head levers are kept within seven degrees of each other and
synchronization is switched on. The control head lever handles are designed to be
operated jointly with one hand. Because synchronization mode operates with the
control levers approximately in the same position, abrupt changes of engine speed are
avoided when entering or leaving synchronization mode.
Shaft Brake
Control:
Shaft brake control output can synchronize the application of shaft brake
automatically. Shaft brake application times are selectable and proportional to the
throttle level and time at that level. This design allows for faster gear changing
without damage to the propulsion system or stalling the engine.
Pressure Switch:
Pressure switch input controlled throttle clamp is available for positive
control of engine throttle on high horsepower transmissions which may exhibit more
variability in engagement times. This feature will prevent damage to clutch plates
and annoying engagement jars caused by engine speed-up prior to closure of the clutch.
Electronic
Interfaces:
Electronic interfaces for engine throttle, gear selector, and trolling
valve are available for all popular brands of equipment. All engine interface
circuitry is isolated to prevent interaction between the engine controller and the EC200
control system. Direct, proportional, and three valve neutral impulse style drivers
are available for the gear selector. PWM drivers are available in either open loop
or current feedback configuration for control of trolling valves.
Emergency Backup:
Emergency backup system is available for "fully electronic"
EC200 controlled propulsion systems and includes a separate control head, wiring system,
and power input from an emergency source.
