Description
The EC5010 operates directly from a battery system, measures the speed of an engine and supplies drive current to a proportional
solenoid actuator which controls engine speed by acting on the throttle lever or other fuel metering control. The output of the controller
provides a pulse width modulated current to drive the actuator which responds to the average current to position the engine throttle.
The output provides up to 7 Amps of continuous current and is suitable to drive AMBAC’s AGB, AGD, AGS, AGL and AGK actuators,
as well as those from other manufacturers.
The engine speed signal is typically taken from a magnetic sensor mounted in proximity to the flywheel teeth. The control unit will
accept any signal if the frequency is proportional to engine speed and of the correct amplitude and frequency. This speed input is
compared to an internal SPEED setting and the difference is amplified to drive the actuator to supply more or less fuel, thus controlling
engine speed. Speed is controlled isochronously or in droop mode (when the DROOP control is moved from its full CCW position, the
further CW, the more droop). On -S and -S1 versions terminal 1 is grounded (to terminal 5 or 6) for isochronous operation or left open
for DROOP mode. A safety feature is provided to turn off the actuator and prevent engine runaway if the speed input signal fails for
more than 0.1 seconds. During cranking, the actuator is commanded to the START FUEL current setting to eliminate excess starting
fuel smoke. When starting in RUN mode or when transitioning from IDLE to RUN, a built-in RAMP generator provides a smoothly
controlled and adjustable rate of speed change which also prevents excess smoke. Adjustment for GAIN, STABILITY and DEAD TIME
allow simple field optimization for a wide range of engine/generator or pump combinations.
This unit may be operated with a remote speed control on the FREQ TRIM input (which is subject to speed ramping) and in
conjunction with a Synchronizer and a Load Sharing Unit.
