AUTOMATIC ENGINE CONTROL FOR
DIESEL/GAS ENGINES
The ECU-9988N engine control provides complete automation and safety
monitoring of a gas or diesel engine. The ECU-9988N controls the starter
and fuel thus completely taking the operator out of the picture. A built in
speed switch controls both starter disengagement and overspeed protection.
ECU -9988N
ONE VERSION FOR
12 AND 24 VDC
APPLICATIONS: Generator Control Panels, Automatic Engine Systems
FEATURES:
Loss of Magnetic Pickup detection during
both cranking and running
Single or Multi-crank modes are field
adjustable
Built in speed switch
Grounded or positive HWT/LOP inputs
Low oil pressure and high water temp
override during cranking
Wide temperature range -40C to +85C
Epoxy encapsulated module for excellent
field reliability
LEDS with auto/manual lamp test
1 AMP Relays for annunciator outputs
ECU -9988N A COMPLETE AUTOMATIC ENGINE CONTROL
The ECU-9988N covers just about all the essential engine control functions that are asked for
in most specifications.
The ECU-9988N automatically cranks, starts and monitors an engine for Overcrank,
Overspeed, High Water Temperature and Low Oil Pressure. Any crank timing sequence is
accomplished by using the multiple or single crank modes in conjunction with the timer
adjustments. A built in speed switch uses a magnetic pickup to monitor engine speed for
crank disconnect and overspeed. The bypass timer/logic assures Low Oil Pressure and High
Water Temp override during the crank period and an additional adjustable period after crank
disconnect. The ECU-9988N expands to as many faults as required by using the Engine
Alarm Input/Output. The ECU-9988N monitors the Magnetic Pickup signal for problems during
both cranking and running.If a problem is detected the engine will shutdown and the
Overcrank and Overspeed LED's will both turn on.

CRANK ATTEMPTS
The above illustrates the ECU-9988N engine control with an energized to run engine. Placing the control switch in MANUAL
or closure of the Remote Start Contacts while in AUTO initiates the Crank mode. The Fuel and Starter Relays are energized
causing the engine to begin cranking. If the engine does not start in the allotted time, as determined by the Crank Cycle Adjust and Dip Switch setting, the Overcrank Fault occurs, and the Fuel and Starter Relays are turned off. If during cranking the
internal speed switch detects a speed equal to or above the Crank Disconnect Adjustment Setting the Starter Relay turns off,
the LOP/HWT delay timer is initiated. After this delay period if the LOP or HWT switch closes the engine will shutdown immediately. If the internal speed switch detects a speed equal to or above the Overspeed Adjustment Setting the engine is shutdown immediately. To stop the engine or to clear a fault condition place the control switch in the Off position.
If the signal from the magnetic pickup is lost during cranking or running the engine will shut down and the Overcrank & Overspeed LED's will both turn on.
