Ultimate control from Twin Disc Twin Disc puts ultimate control
in your hands.
The EC200 Marine Electronic Control System consists of cast aluminum bronze control heads, stainless steel control boxes, and connectored cables.  The EC200 electronic control package is versatile, rugged and easy to install.  The system is designed to interface with all popular mechanical and electronic engine and transmission systems.   The Access panel conveniently located on the top surface of the control enclosure permits easy setup and maintenance.

Options available include synchronization, trolling valve control, shaft brake control, and phantom lever controls for multi-engine systems.  Control heads are available in chrome, natural gold tone, and black finish, with single and dual lever versions to accommodate all combinations of system options.  Using the same control head and box hardware, special versions of the system are available for inboard engines, outboard engines, stern drive engines (I/Os), surface drive systems, and water jets.

Versatile, rugged, and easy to install

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.
