Restriction Notice: This document contains proprietary Twin Disc
Incorporated information. Neither receipt nor possession thereof confers any
rights to reproduce, use or disclose, in whole or in part, any such information
without express written authorization from the Corporate Engineering Control
Systems, Twin Disc Incorporated, Racine, WI 53405.

General Component Installation Guidelines
Ensure a suitable location is chosen for mounting the EC300 Control(s),

Control Head(s), Twin Disc Display(s), and any other components. See
Appendix - A for Environmental Specifications. When selecting the location
for mounting the components, consideration should be given to any push-
pull cable routing in order to avoid sharp bends or excessive lengths. The
mounting surface should be flat, or shimmed so that the control enclosure is
secured without distortion to the bottom plate. Controls should not be mounted
on the engines unless they are protected by a heat shield and mounted to
a vibration-damped plate.
Choose a location for the EC300 Control that meets the following criteria:
 Near the drivetrain, but not on any drivetrain component.

 Away from heat sources.
 Clear of service and access areas.
 Away from AC power and high current conductors.
 Protected from submersion or splash.
 Does not provide a “step” for personnel.
 A minimum of 1 m (3.3 ft) away from alternators, generators,
communications equipment, and associated wiring.
 Away from high vibration and other mechanical abuse.
 Provides easy access for routing harnesses and allows routing to
meet bend radius requirements.
 Convenient for accessing electrical connections, harnesses, and the
EC300 Control chassis.
 Control equipment and displays are to be so placed or protected as to
minimize the likelihood of sustaining damage from the condensation
of moisture, accumulation of dust, oil vapors, steam, dripping liquids,
or from activities around their location.

The Servo Actuator (if used) must be installed to meet the following criteria
of the push-pull cables:
 Cables should be minimum length possible.

 Cables should have no sharp bends. Install with the maximum possible
bend radius. Refer to cable manufacturer’s specifications.
 Cables must be located away from hot surfaces.
 Cables must be clear of service or access areas.
 Cables must be Teleflex/Morse Series 33 or equivalent.
Electrical Wiring and Routing
Electrical wiring and routing should meet the following criteria:

 Wiring must be minimum practical length.
 Wiring must be located at least 1 m (39.4 in) away from high current
conductors and devices.
 Wiring should be at least 1 m (39.4 in) away from communications
equipment, antennas, and associated leads.
 Wiring should be at least 1 m (39.4 in) away from alternators,
generators, and ignition systems.
 Wiring must be located away from hot surfaces or high-risk fire areas.
The rated temperature of the harness’s insulating material is to be
at least 10°C (18°F) higher than the maximum ambient temperature
likely to be in the space where the harness is installed.
 Wiring must be clear of service and access areas.
 Wiring should have drip loops where required, especially at the
controls.
 Harness constructions shall use stranded copper (19 strands or more);
rated for 50 VDC, conforming to UL 1426 Cables for Boats or other
applicable standards; should not be more than 6.1 m (20 ft) long;
should be marked with type/style, voltage, size, and dry temperature
rating; and should be color coded as shown in Table 2.

The following requirements must be met when routing electrical wiring

harnesses:
Keep the system harnesses away from antenna wires and AC power wires.
Do not route the control harnesses in the same trough or conduit as antenna
or AC power wires.
 Wiring harnesses must be clear of service areas, access areas, or

other spaces where it may be exposed to mechanical damage. Where
this cannot be avoided, special measures are to be made for effective
protection of the harnesses.
Do not add additional wire to any harness without consulting with Twin Disc
Inc. Longer harnesses may require thicker conductors.
 Do not splice or substitute different types of wire into the harnesses.

Increased length may require increased wire size.
 Any splices must meet the requirements of the applicable standards
or specifications.
 Harnesses are available in varying lengths in 0.6 m (2 ft) increments.
Wiring harnesses must be the minimum practical length. Wiring
harnesses should never be installed in a manner which results in
more than 609 mm (24 in.) of excess length.
 Wiring harnesses should have service/drip loops at each connection
point as required to minimize water drainage toward the connector.
Loops should be tied down so that they do not move freely when the
boat is in motion. Excess motion can cause the harnesses to flex
excessively and fatigue and break conductors and open insulation
through abrasion and splitting.
 Wiring harness bend radii should be at least ten harness-diameters
unless otherwise permitted.
 Wiring harnesses are to be secured in such a manner that stresses
are not transmitted to the connector terminal.

 Wiring harnesses must be supported or secured every 406 mm (16 in.)

maximum with the appropriate hardware except when the harness
is enclosed in rigid duct, conduit, or other enclosure. The distance
between harness supports are to be suitably chosen according to the
type of harness and the degree of vibration the installation is likely to
be subjected to. For horizontal runs where harnesses are laid on tray
plates, individual support brackets or hanger ladders, the distance
between the fixing points may be up to 914 mm (36 in.), provided that
there are supports with maximum spacing as specified above.
Increased support is required for wiring harness runs on weather
decks where forces from sea water washing over the deck is expected.
Alternatively, harness support systems complying with a recognized
standard other than IEC 60092-352 may be used where the installed
harness must also comply with that standard. Specifically, harness
support systems meeting the requirements of IEEE 1580-2001 may
be used where IEEE 1580-2001 harnesses are installed.
It may be desirable to complete all harness terminations before
securing the harness.
 Some applicable codes and standards (notably RMRS) require
different spacing for harness supports. The following table shows
RMRS spacing requirements.
Table 1. RMRS Wire Fastening Points

13 20 300 350 450
20 30 350 400 450
30 -- 400 450 450
 Metallic wire harness clamps or supports are required if the failure of
the support could cause a hazardous condition in the engine room,
machinery rooms, or passageways.
 Clamps and supports shall not have sharp edges or rough surfaces
that could damage the insulation. Special protective measures such
as tape or other wrapping are required for metallic clamps or supports.
Clips, saddles, and straps are to have surface area and sufficient width
as to not cause damage to the insulation.

 Non-metallic clamps and supports must be resistant to oil, gasoline,

and water and shall have a temperature range of -34 to 121°C (-30
to 250°F). They shall be flame retardant in accordance with IEC
Publication 60092-101. Where used for wire harnesses that are not
routed on top of horizontal cable trays, suitable metal clips or straps
are to be added at regular intervals not exceeding 2 m (6.6 ft) in order
to prevent the release of wire harnesses during a fire.
 Do not use wire staples.
 Where wire harnesses pass through watertight or fire-rated bulkheads
or decks, the penetrations are to be made through the use of approved
stuffing tubes, transit devices, or pourable materials in order to
maintain the watertight or fire tight integrity of the bulkheads or decks.
These devices or materials must not damage the harness. Where
cable conduit pipe or equivalent is carried through decks or bulkheads,
arrangements are to be made to maintain the integrity of the water or
gas tightness of the structure.
 Wiring harnesses are not to be installed behind, or embedded in,
structural insulation. They may, however, pass through such insulation
at right angles. Wiring conduit or recesses integral with B or C class
fire-walls may be used for installing harnesses if the fire-walls are of
an approved type and the installation prevents the propagation of
smoke through the conduit.
 When harnesses pass through non-watertight bulkheads, decks or
structural members, the length of the bearing surface for the harness
is to be at least 6.4 mm (0.25 in.). All burrs and sharp edges are to
be removed.
 No harness is allowed to penetrate the collision bulkhead.
 To avoid possible signal interference, signal wire harnesses occupying
the same wire way or conduit with power harnesses are to be
effectively shielded.

The following guidelines must be met when making wiring connections:
 All electrical connections must be made within waterproof enclosures

or shall be watertight. Connections must be watertight if they can be
immersed in water.
 The connectors have a resilient insert that seals to the insulation of
each wire in the connector. Do not attempt to fit two wires into any
of the connector positions. Sealing plugs are provided for unused
positions of the connector in order to insure the sealed nature of the
connected harness assembly. Do not discard these red plastic plugs
since they must be inserted into the unused positions.
 For harness kits that require field termination by the installer, tape and
secure the ends of any unused wires.
Supplied wire harnesses do not include any unused wires.
 Terminals must not damage the conductor.

 Metals used for connections shall be corrosion resistant.
 Terminal lugs shall be ring lug or captive spade styles and shall
be sized to match the terminal and the conductor. Shanks shall be
insulated unless used on a grounded conductor. Crimp lugs must be
of equal or greater current rating than the wire.
 Wire harnesses stripped of insulation are to be sealed using heat shrink
tubing in combination with insulating compound or sealing devices.

 The installer must provide suitable wire harness and crimping tools.
An appropriate tool for Deutsch contacts is the Deutsch crimper
(PN: HDT 48-00). Use all tools and materials in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions.
 Crimps must be made with a tool designed to operate with the lug/
contact. Crimps shall be able to hold 13.6 kg (30 lbs) for one minute.
 Aluminum or unplated steel shall not be used for fasteners.
 Twist-on connectors, such as wire nuts, shall not be used.
 Solder may not be the only means of connection between two or more
conductors or between a conductor and a connector.
 Any friction connectors or soldered connectors at components must
meet the component manufacturer’s requirements as well as the
applicable standards.
 No more than four conductors may be terminated at any single stud.
 Wires shall have sufficient freedom of movement to allow for removal,
dressing, and tension relief.
 To avoid electromagnetic interference caused by circulating currents,
the conductive shield and wire harness armor of signal harnesses is
to be grounded only at one end of the wire harness.
 To connect a harness to an EC300 Control, align the plug orientation
keys with the EC300 Control’s receptacle and push the plug in until
it snaps in place.
Fasteners and Mounting Hardware
 Use the fasteners and mounting hardware supplied with the equipment
and do not substitute.
 Use stainless steel fasteners unless otherwise specified.
 Use lock washers as specified.

EC300 Control Installation
All mounting hardware must be corrosion resistant.
1. Choose a location for the controls that meets the following criteria:
The EC300 Control Box can be mounted in a customer supplied enclosure

(junction box) to protect the Control from splash or submersion, crew activities
resulting in snagging or disconnection, or from a metalic hull allowing proper
bonding to reduce the suseptibilty to lightning strikes. It can also be used
as a mounting location for Engine Room Displays if fitted. See drawing Part
Numbers 1026791, 1026792 and 1027507 in the Engineering Drawings
section for examples of the components required.
• Maximum harness length must be considered in component
location.
• It is not on any drive train component.
• It is away from heat sources.
• It is clear of service and access areas.
• It is a minimum of 1 m (39.4 in) away from AC power and high
current conductors.
• It is protected from submersion or splash.
• It will not provide a “step” for personnel.
• It is a minimum of 1 m (39.4 in) away from alternators,
generators, communications equipment, and associated wiring.
• It is away from high vibration.
• It is convenient for accessing the electrical connections.
• Control equipment is to be so placed or protected as to minimize
the likelihood of sustaining damage from the condensation of
moisture, accumulation of dust, oil vapors, steam, dripping
liquids, or from activities around their location.
• Non-conductive surface where the three control mounting
feet contact and are parallel to the mounting surface. When a
non-conductive surface is unavailable, install a non-conductive
surface, such as plywood. See Figure 34 for dimensional
considerations.
2. In all cases, a BOND wire must be used that is attached to one of the
EC300 mounting feet and routed to an appropriate vessel termination
point below the water-line.

3. If a junction box enclosure will be used, mount it in a suitable location

using the appropriate hardware and any brackets, shims or spacers
required.
4. If the EC300 will be surface mounted, fabricate brackets, shims, or
spacers in order to provide a flat surface for mounting.
5. Mark and drill three (3) mounting holes for the 6.35 mm (0.25 in.)
mounting hardware. See Figure 34.
6. Mount the control using three (3) sets of fasteners and lock washers.
Place lock washers under the mounting screw heads.
7. Tighten fasteners up to 1.13 N-m (10 lb-in.) maximum.

8. It is suggested that you mark or label the EC300 Control(s) and junction
boxes used with the drive train designation, such as “Drive Train #1
- Port”, to ensure the connection of the control head harnesses and
drive train harness later in the installation process.

Servo Actuator Installation
The EC300 Control System supports one servo actuated device per control.
The EC300 Control Systems can control either a mechanically shifted
transmission, a mechanically controlled throttle, or a mechanically controlled
troll valve.
A Dual Servo configuration is available for use on EC300 applications with

both mechanical governor and mechanical selector valve. This requires the
use of Part No. 1022749 Servos with software version 1.02 and serial number
2055230 or higher and a Part No. 1026699 Dual Actuator Adapter Wiring
Harness. (See drawing numbers 1022749-178417, 1022749-727948 and
1026699 in the Engineering Drawings section of this manual.)
When using a Dual Servo configuration, the EC300 MFST configuration

file must be setup for “Custom” Engine (0.5VDC min. and 4.0 VDC max.)
and “Mechanical Actuator” for the Transmission.
The servo actuator accommodates a total push-pull cable stroke of 41 to 84

mm (1.6 to 3.3 in.). It provides a maximum of 24 kg (53 lbs) of force at the
innermost point on the lever and a maximum of 11.3 kg (25 lbs) of force at
the outermost point on the lever.
The servo actuator can be mounted in any orientation on a flat surface. See
Figure 35 for preferred mounting orientation. The servo actuator should be
located within the reach of the supplied harness and as close to the engine/
transmission as practical.
The servo actuator and push-pull cable installation process should be

read and understood prior to installation of servo actuator and related
components, to ensure all component mounting positions are located
properly and all necessary materials are available for the complete
installation.

Servo Actuator Mounting
Figure 35. Preferred Mounting Arrangement for Servo Actuator
1. Locate a solid, flat surface where the mounting rails contact and are
parallel to the mounting surface.
Refer to “Figure 99. Servo Actuator Mounting Dimensions” on page

178 for mounting dimensions for your specific actuator.
Neither the engine nor the transmission push-pull cable clamp and bracket
are supplied.
Fabricate brackets, shims or spacers as required to provide a flat surface.
2. Mark and drill the four mounting holes for the 6.35 mm (0.25 in.)
mounting hardware.
3. Mount the servo actuator using four sets of 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) diameter
fasteners and lock washers. Place lock washers under the mounting
screw heads.
Refer to “Push-Pull Cable Installation Guidelines” for important

information and considerations.
4. Install the push-pull cable as outlined in “Push-Pull Cable Installation
Kits for Conductive Vessels” or “Push-Pull Cable Installation Kits
for Nonconductive Vessels” as appropriate.

Push-Pull Cable Installation Guidelines
Correct push-pull cable installation will aid in trouble-free operation of the

control system. Different installation kits are available. Where possible, quick-
disconnect ball joints should be used to assist in push-pull cable adjustments.
Push-pull cable installation should meet the following guidelines:
 Cables must be Teleflex/Morse 33 Series or equivalent.

 A minimal number of bends should be used.
 Bends should use the maximum possible radius where bends are
required. Refer to cable manufacturer specifications.
 Cables should not be routed near hot surfaces.
 Cables should not be routed in service or access areas.

Push-Pull Cable Installation Kits for Conductive Vessels
Quick-disconnect ball joint kits or terminal eye pins with cable clamps for
Morse 33 series push-pull cables are available from Twin Disc Incorporated.
See the following two figures. The dual kit accommodates one end of two
cables. The single kit accommodates one end of one cable. Each servo
actuator requires a single kit to connect the cable to the servo actuator.

Push-Pull Cable Installation Kits for Nonconductive Vessels
There is a possibility that high-powered electronic equipment used on vessels

built in glass reinforced plastic (fiberglass), wood, or other nonconductive
material can produce electrical interference that may affect the operation of
the servo actuator, the EC300 Control, or the station expansion box. Most
secondary current path sources of interference can be eliminated by insuring
there are no “loops” through the engine block or transmission via push-pull
cables.
If isolation components are used on any component of the EC300 Control

System, they must be used on all components.
For nonconductive vessels, isolating installation kits with cable clamps and
terminal eye pins must be used to isolate the servo actuator from push-pull
cables. See Figure 38 and Figure 39. One kit is required to attach the cable
to each servo actuator. Consult Twin Disc Incorporated or a local distributor
for substitutions or alterations.

Brackets must be located to allow the most direct and unrestricted movement
of push-pull cable. Bends, kinks, and tight or multiple radii will cause
premature wear and undesirable engine/transmission response.
3. Loosely attach the cable at the engine/transmission using a mounting

arrangement which allows for a cable travel within the 1.5-3.5 inch
range. In rare instances, modifications to the engine/transmission lever
are required to meet this range of travel. (For example: When the travel
is less than the 1.5 inch, then the engine/transmission lever may need
to be lengthened, or an additional hole added to the existing lever.)
4. Loosely attach the other end of the push-pull cable to the servo
actuator.
5. Confirm that the cable travel is within the 1.5-3.5 inch range and tighten
the engine/transmission end. Leave the servo actuator end loose.

6. Proceed to the push-pull cable adjustment section as appropriate:

• “Push-Pull Cable Adjustment for Mechanically Shifted

The transmission’s gear select actuator is a three-position device: 45 degree

left, center, and 45 degree right. See the following figure. The control drives
the servo actuator to these positions as commanded by ahead, neutral, or
astern commands from the control head. The push-pull cable positions the
gear select lever in the desired position.

1. Position the lever at the forward detent. The servo actuator lever
moves to the forward position.
2. Position the transmission lever to forward detent. The attached push-
pull cable moves accordingly.
3. Make note of the push-pull cable position at the servo actuator end,
comparing the location of the cable to the servo actuator lever. Using
a piece of tape and pen/marker, mark the servo actuator with the
position of the cable end.
4. Repeat with the control head lever at the reverse detent. The servo
actuator moves to the reverse position.
When you adjust the push-pull cable travel for forward and reverse positions,
neutral is automatically centered. However, you cannot adjust the push-pull
cable for neutral and then assume the forward and reverse positions are
aligned.
5. Proceed to “Push-Pull Cable Final Adjustment” on page 65.

Push-Pull Cable Adjustment for Mechanically Controlled Throttle
The engine’s throttle actuator is a two-position device with continuous control

between the two end positions. The nominal end positions are at 45 degrees
left and 45 degrees right. See the following figure. The control drives the
servo actuator between these positions as commanded by the lever position
at the control head. The push-pull cable positions the throttle actuator in the
corresponding position.

Push-Pull Cable Final Adjustment
Final adjustments/alignment of the push-pull cable must be completed with

power applied to a functioning control system. All power wiring and EC300
Control checks must be made prior to proceeding with the final adjustments/
alignment of the push-pull cable. The following procedure can be performed:
 One person can perform this by using the station providing the
physically easiest access to the servo actuator, allowing the lever to
be set and then going to the servo actuator to monitor and adjust the
push-pull cable.
 Two people. One person operates the station and another at the Servo
Actuator to monitor and adjust the push-pull cable.
1. Disconnect the quick connect on the push-pull cable from the servo
actuator lever to perform the power wiring and control system checks.
2. Power up the EC300 Control and take command at a station.
3. Move the control head levers and the mode select switch to shift the
component the servo actuator is connected to. Mark the travel distance
of the servo actuator lever and the engine/transmission troll lever.
4. Compare the marks of the positions of the push-pull cable to the
servo actuator, with the following diagrams. Use these diagrams and
the associated instructions to adjust/align the cable attachment at
the servo actuator lever. As adjustments are made, repeat step 1 to
confirm results of adjustments. Several adjustments and checks may
be necessary before achieving final alignment. Final alignment should
be when the servo actuator lever is unrestricted to move to its positions,
while moving the engine/transmission/troll lever to its proper positions
without coming bottoming out against the engine/transmission/troll
lever end stops. When the final alignment is complete, tighten all
clamps and associated hardware.

• When the travel of the servo actuator lever is wider than the
travel of the push-pull cable: Adjust by moving the attachment
for the cable on the servo actuator lever down towards the shaft
of the actuator. See Figure 45.

Speed Sensor Installation
Applications with options such as Sync Mode (engine synchronization),

Express Mode, and Troll Mode require the installation of an engine speed
sensor and/or transmission output speed sensor. Engine speed sensors
(transmission input) are most often installed on the marine transmission,
however in some cases the engine speed sensor is installed on the engine
flywheel housing. The output speed sensor may be installed directly into
the transmission or on a bracket near the output shaft with a speed pick-up
wheel connected to the output flange. Only Twin Disc speed sensors are
acceptable for the output shaft speed.
There are many types of engine speed sensors available and many will work
with the EC300 Control System. This section outlines the installation of the
sensors available from Twin Disc Incorporated. Contact Twin Disc, or the
nearest distributor, for the possible use of other sensors.
The Speed Sensor is a cylindrical-threaded component that screws into either

the engine flywheel housing; the transmission housing; or into a bracket on
the output side to sense transmission output speed. It is triggered by the
crown of the gear teeth when they pass in close proximity to the end of the
speed sensor. The Speed Sensor produces an output signal of one pulse per
gear tooth. The EC300 Control software converts the individual pulse signals
into revolutions per minute (rpm). The number of teeth on the gear must be
known in order for the software to be properly configured. This information
is either supplied by the engine supplier if flywheel mounted, or Twin Disc
Incorporated if connected to transmission.
Single output speed sensors are preferred over dual output (see the figure
below); however dual output speed sensors are acceptable if the outputs
are electrically isolated from each other and have the required electrical
characteristics.
Single Output

The following speed sensor sub-sections are included:
 Installation – Magnetic Pick-up Engine Speed Sensor

 Installation – Hall Effect Pick-up Output Speed Sensor
 Installation – Tachometer Signal Generator
Installation – Magnetic Pick-up Input Speed Sensor
Some transmissions have pre-drilled and plugged sensor holes above the primary
or secondary shaft transfer gear.
Some engines have pre-drilled and plugged sensor mounting plates in the
flywheel housing. Consult the engine manufacturer if a mounting hole must
be added. Additionally, some engines may already have Speed Sensors
installed in the flywheel housings for the engine tachometers. An existing
single output sensor may be replaced with a dual output sensor in order to
eliminate the need to add additional holes.

the Speed Sensor body in place.
5. If using a dual-output speed sensor, reconnect the original signal cable
to one of the sensor outputs.

Installation – Hall Effect Pick-up Output Speed Sensor
Some transmissions have pre-drilled and plugged sensor holes for the
purpose of installing output speed sensors.
Some transmissions may need an output speed pick-up wheel installed on

the output flange and an output speed bracket installed on the transmission
housing to facilitate the installation of an output speed sensor as shown in
the figure below.

the end away from the wires. See Figure 17.
3. Install sensor until contacts tip of gear tooth and back sensor out two

4. Tighten the lock nut to 4.52 N-m (40 lb-in.) maximum while holding
the Speed Sensor body in place.
The Hall Effect Pick-Up output speed sensor used for the EC300 Marine
Control System cannot be used to provide signals to other devices on the
vessel. The output signal must be connected directly to the EC300 Control.

Installation – Tachometer Signal Generator
Tachometer signal generators will also work with the EC300 Control System.
The tachometer signal generator must be capable of generating an AC
signal with a frequency that is proportional to speed. Use a generator
that provides the highest frequency possible. A minimum of 15 cycles per
crankshaft revolution is required. Twin Disc, Incorporated has a 30 pulse per
revolution tachometer signal generator available. The output amplitude of
the tachometer signal generator must be a minimum of 1.5 volts RMS AC.
The number of pulses per revolution must be known in order for the EC300
Control software to be properly configured.

Engine Control Harness (J5) Installation and Engine Room Harness
(J6) Installation in the Electrical Installation chapter of this manual provide
speed sensor wiring information.

Gear Confirmation Kit - Part No. 46477 (Optional)
For interfacing EC300 Gear Confirmation Outputs to the Engine ECU/ECM,

Kit Part No. 46477 is available.
Refer to drawing 1027998 in Engineering Drawing Section.
The EC300 Gear Confirmation Outputs reside on the J7 Solenoid connector.

These outputs are activated in the MFST, which determines the J7 terminals
used for signaling FORWARD, NEUTRAL and RVERSE engagement to the
Engine ECU/ECM. These signals are typically required for certain MTU and
MAN engine monitoring systems.
The Gear Confirmation Outputs are PWM/Solenoid drivers which must be

connected to relays (coils), and the relay contacts to the engine ECU/ECM.
The 46477 kit consists of the enclosure with relay mounting rails, relays, relay
holders, necessary cord-grips required for a typical twin engine installation
and Installation drawing 1027998. The installer is responsible for installation
of the cord-grips necessary in the enclosure.
Figure 54. 46477 Kit Components (Dimensions are for reference only)

EC300 J7 Driver Output High Current Relay Interface Assy (Optional)
Driver outputs on the EC300 J7 Connector are dessigned to operate a coil

(“load”) which draws between 250mA and 1.5 Amp of current. Within the
EC300 software, there is a “coil test” which checks to confirm the “load” is
within specification. When the EC300 detects the “load“ to be outside the
limits, it generates a fault condition (coil open or shorted).
If a load will require more than 1.5 Amps, Twin Disc has a relay box available
(Part No. 1025333) and associated harnessing that must be installed between
the EC300 and the transmission load (For example - Certain Reintjes valves
require 2 Amps to drive the FORWARD and REVERSE solenoids).
The relay interface box (and associated wiring) must be installed between
the EC300 and the load.
Refer to drawing 1025342 in Engineering Drawing Section for installation

recommendations and pin connections.

Helm Electrical Installation
This chapter provides the information required to install the harnesses and
wiring in the helm and control stations throughout the vessel. The major steps
in the helm electrical installation process are outlined below.
Drawings contained in this section are for illustration purposes only. Refer
to installation drawings provided for each application for specific installation
and part numbers.
If a harness needs to be shortened, refer to the installation diagram provided

for the system. Shorten the harness on the end identified by the scissors icon.
1. Install control head harnesses:

• For systems using analog control heads. See “Analog Control
Head Harness Installation (J1, J2, J3)” on page 76.
• For systems using side mount control heads: See “Analog
Control Head Harness Installation (J1, J2, J3)” on page
76.
• For systems using digital control heads. See “Digital Control
Head Harness Installation (J9)” on page 84.
2. Install the Twin Disc display harness.

• For systems with analog control heads: See “Display
Harness Installation (J9) – Analog Control Head System”
on page 99.
• For systems with digital control heads: See “Display
Harness Installation (J9) – Digital Control Head System”
on page 104.

Helm Electrical Installation ©2016 Twin Disc, Incorporated
Analog Control Head Harness Installation (J1, J2, J3)
The prefabricated analog control head (top mount) harness connects the
analog control heads with the EC300 Control at J1, J2, and J3. The vessel
will have one or more control heads located at the vessel control stations
with either single lever or dual lever heads.
An analog side mount control station consists of a lever, interface assembly,

harness and selector assembly and is connected with another harness to J1,
J2 or J3 of the EC300 control. A side mount control station (single or dual)
can be used in place of a conventional top mount control head.
In single engine applications, only the PORT connections are used on the
selector assembly. In dual engine applications, both the PORT and STBD
connections are used.
J1, J2, and J3 of the EC300 Control constitute one station each. Not all
systems utilize all analog control head connectors and therefore the number
of stations varies. This fact is complicated by the use of digital control heads
that provide for additional stations without the need for an expansion boxes
Where pins are not used, sealing plugs are installed in the harness
connector to maintain the integrity of the connector. Where J2 or J3 are not
used, a connector kit is supplied to protect the unused connector from the
environment.
Comply with the “Electrical Wiring and Routing” on page 11 for harness
routing criteria.
The stainless steel analog control head harnesses that connect them to the
EC300 Control are not labeled. To facilitate system maintenance, Twin Disc
Inc. provides two blank labels with each harness so the installer can label
both ends as PORT or STARBOARD, along with other relevant information
such as station # and drive train reference, as required for the system being
installed.

1. Correlate the control head to EC300 Control harnesses with their

control heads/stations. Ensure that this is in accordance with the
system drawings. The system was designed to ensure that the harness
was designed and built such that adequate length was provided
to connect the control heads with the EC300 Control(s) along the
specified routing path. See Figure 56, Figure 57 and Figure 58.

Note the symmetry of the system and the position of the highest number drive
train in an odd-number system when you correlate cables in preparation for
labeling in the next step.
This step is important as labeling helps ensure accurate connects between

components that is required to ensure that proper configuration of the system.
If a control head is not connected to the correct EC300 then an unintended
drive train will be commanded at lever movement.
2. Label the ends of each harness with its destination. This is important to
ensure that you connect a control head lever connector to the specified
EC300 Control and the specified analog control head connector J1, J2,
or J3 on that EC300 Control. You must account for all stations in your
system and the connected drive trains. If you are installing the optional
lockout switch, mark the label with the control head’s designation as
the lockout switch cable acts as a signal pass-through.

3. There are a few models of analog control head as shown in Figure 56,
Figure 57 and Figure 58. Each has the same connector configuration
regardless of the model.
• For the split single lever models: Only the Port side connector
is to be used. The other is inactive and non-functional.
• For the dual lever control head: Both connectors are available
for use.
• For the side mount control: the Port side connector on the
selector is to be used for all single engine applications.
Connectors on both sides of the selector are used in dual
engine configurations.
Also, there is an optional lockout switch that may be used as shown in Figure
59 and Figure 60. This harness acts as a pass-through for analog control
head signals and provides for locking out the control head when the switch
is in the indicated position (the switch is supplied by either the installer or
the customer).
The Control Head may be removed from the dash to facilitate electrical
connection. If it is removed, reinstall it after the connections have been made.
It is preferable to route the port and starboard harnesses as far apart as

possible. This minimizes the probability of accidental damage to both
harnesses at the same time, allowing continued, but reduced, control of the
vessel.

Figure 59. Analog Top Mount Control Head Harness

Figure 60. Analog Side Mount Control Selector Harness
4. At each control head at each station: If you are installing the optional
lockout switch, connect it to the control head connector(s) and connect
the other end to the analog control head harness.
Otherwise, connect the analog control head harness to the appropriate
control head connector (port or starboard).

Provide enough length in the harness to allow removal of the Control Head
in the future.
5. Securely remount any control head(s) removed for harness installation.

6. Route the control head harness(es) to the EC300 Control(s).
During configuration, each EC300 Control is associated with a specific drive

train. It is very important that you properly correlate each control head harness
with the correct EC300 Control for the system to operate as expected.
7. Connect the control head harness plug(s) to the J1, J2, and J3
receptacle(s) of the EC300 Control as indicated by the labels and
your system drawing.
8. Install a connector kit into all unused J2 and/or J3 receptacles to seal
them. See your system drawing for the connector plug kit part number.
9. Secure all harnesses to a supporting structure with clamps or cable
ties at 406 mm (16 in.) intervals.

Digital Control Head Harness Installation (J9)
The digital control head harnesses provide the interface between the digital
control head and the EC300 Control and uses the EC300 CAN bus for
communication. The CAN bus allows a series of digital control heads and
optional displays to be in series with J9. The digital control head’s CAN bus
connectors are shown below:
Figure 61. Digital Control Head Signal Flow
 A: Port CAN bus input. Used with single and dual lever control heads.
 B: Port CAN bus output. Used with downstream single and dual lever
control heads or with a Terminator.
 C: Port AUX. Used to connect the Auxillary inputs and outputs.
 D: Starboard CAN bus input. Used only with dual lever control heads.
 E: Starboard CAN bus output. Used only with downstream dual level
control heads or with a Terminator.
 F: Starboard AUX. Used to connect the Auxillary inputs and outputs.

The vessel will have one or more digital control heads located at the vessel
control stations with either single lever or dual lever heads. Single-lever digital
control heads (stations) use the port connectors only on all control heads.
The digital control head harness supplied by Twin Disc Inc. plugs into the
Display, then through two additional harnesses and a Tee connector into the
J9 connector at the EC300 Control. The J9 connector contains all contacts
and sealing plugs that are required to fill the connector. Sealing plugs must
be installed into all unused pin positions in order to maintain the integrity of
the connector.
Figure 62 shows a system with a single drive train and multiple single lever
control heads with a non-redundant bus. Figure 63 shows a system with a
single drive train and multiple single lever control heads with a redundant
bus. Figure 64 shows a system with two drive trains and multiple dual lever
stations.

Correlate each harness with its station, ensuring that each harness is long
enough to connect the control head to the next device in the CAN bus series
in accordance with the system’s wiring diagram and the guidelines. Ensure
that you label the cable assembly ends as appropriate for ease of identification
using the blank labels provided by Twin Disc Inc.

engines listed.

Neutral Start Interlock
The neutral start interlock is a relay contact inside the EC300 Control. The
relay contact closes only when the following criteria are met:
 The system ignition is turned on.
 A control head is selected.
 The lever for the selected Control Head is in the neutral position.
This means that an engine can be started only under the following conditions:
 A control head is in command.
 The control head’s lever is in the neutral detent position.
Normally, the boat wiring routes the start command wire from the key switch
or engine control panel through the EC300 Control’s neutral start interlock. If a
bypass or override switch is desired, contact Twin Disc Incorporated or a local
distributor for information related to specific installation requirements. Damage
or injury that is caused by improper installation is not the responsibility of
Twin Disc Incorporated or its distributors.

Manual Override
The manual override switch must be properly wired if the transmission

is equipped with a manual override valve. Failure to properly wire
the manual override switch may cause catastrophic gear failure if
the manual override valve and the forward or reverse solenoid are
inadvertently activated at the same time.
The manual override switch connections provide an indication to the Control
that the manual cartridge valve is in the neutral position or not. The manual
cartridge valve provides two neutral switches that are normally closed when
the manual override button is in the neutral position. The manual override
indications are used by the Control as follows:
 Neutral Start: Connected at J5-10 on the Control. This prevents the
engine from being started when the manual override valve is not in
neutral.
 Manual Override Neutral: Connected at J8-3 and J8-4 on the Control.
This allows the transmission to be operated manually in the event that
the electrical transmission control valves are inoperable. When the
Control senses that the manual override valve is in neutral it sends
control signals to the electrical transmission control valves and throttle
control signals to the engine. When the Control senses that the manual
override is not in neutral the Control does not send control signals
to the electrical transmission control valves but it does send throttle
control signals to the engine.

Isolated Engine Control Harness
Engines that have an isolated throttle signal common leave no means of

current flow from the throttle signal device back to the battery as shown in
Figure 74. The lack of this common connection causes a “Throttle Power
Low” fault in the EC300 Control. To correct this problem, positive and negative
power connections must be provided for the circuit from the EC300 side. The
problem can be corrected by installing an isolated power harness (1026773)
or by using a connector kit with a customer supplied throttle signal.

Figure 74. Isolated Throttle Connection
Installation Process
The DC voltage from the ignition switch to J8, Pin 1 must be from the same
source as the voltage used by the EC300 Control. It must not be interrupted
when the engine is started.
1. Install the ignition wire. The ignition (J8-1) signal is intended to turn the
EC300 Control on only when the ignition switch has been set to on.
Therefore, it must be connected to the load side of the ignition switch.
The following instructions refer to a combination ignition switch with an ON

position and a START position. With this type of ignition switch, power to the
EC300 Control must not be interrupted when starting the engine. If a common
master power switch is used to enable separate START push buttons, use
the master power switch as the source for this signal.

The engine speed sensor signal must connect only to the EC300
Control. If another speed sensor signal is required, use engine
speed sensor expanders or dual output engine speed sensors.
Note that a tachometer output is available from the EC300 Control.
Route the throttle wires (J5 pin 2 and J5 pin 3) to the engine and connect
them as appropriate:
It is very important that the ECM ground be connected to J5-3 of the controller
as it provides the ground reference for the ECM throttle signal as shown in
Figure 75. If this connection is not made then throttle behavior will not be
as expected. Proceed to the next step when done.

2. Connect the speed sensor connector to the engine’s speed sensor

mating connector. See “Figure 76. Engine Control Wiring” for the
harnesses’ engine control wiring.
Figure 76. Engine Control Wiring
This procedure assumes that the Ignition Switch (start switch), the starter
solenoid, and the neutral start relay (if used) are already installed.
The EC300 Control’s neutral start interlock contacts and any hard-wired
transmission neutral interlock must be wired in series with the vessel’s starting
circuit. If a hard-wired transmission neutral start switch is present, modify the
following installation procedures to accommodate the switch.

3. See Figure 77. Locate the neutral start interlock wires for your
installation and connect the neutral start interconnect harness wires

• Less than 5 amps DC: Connect directly to the starter solenoid.
• Exceeds 5 amps DC: Use an isolation relay.
a. Disconnect the wire coming from the start switch at the helm
from the start relay/solenoid.
The Deutsch 14 AWG contact (PN 0462-209-16141) has a green band.
b. Remove any existing terminals from the end of the wire and
crimp the supplied Deutsch contact (PN 0462-209-16141) using
the Deutsch HDT crimp tool (PN HDT 48-00).
c. Route the wire from the start relay/solenoid to the neutral start
connector of the bracket to transmission harness and insert it
into pin A of the connector.

d. Using 14 AWG wire, make a connection from pin B of the neutral

start connector to the start relay/solenoid.
e. Crimp a supplied Deutsch contact (PN 0462-209-16141) using
the Deutsch HDT crimp tool (PN HDT 48-00) and insert it into
pin B of the neutral start connector.
f. Route this wire to the start relay/solenoid and terminate it at
the start relay/solenoid using an appropriate connector.
The manual override valve has screw terminals on both sides for two separate
connections. One side is for the J8 manual override switch connection and
the other side for the J5 neutral start switch connection.

the return lead for the stabilizer disable input.
• If troll is supported: Connect the red wire to the signal lead for
the troll enable solenoid and the black wire to the return lead
for the troll enable solenoid.
Bridge Signals Harness Installation
The bridge signals harness connects to J8 and provides wiring connections

for the following installed components (see the example in Figure 82):
 Ignition Switch (installed in “Engine Control Wiring Installation”

on page 116)
 Manual Override Switch (installed in “Engine Control Wiring
Installation” on page 116)
 Tachometer: The tachometer output circuit is used to drive a tachometer
indicator. This signal can be used to drive a tachometer at the helm,
indicating either engine or propeller speed.
 Alarm: The EC300 Control provides an alarm relay output rated at
an operating current of 2A maximum. This output is used for remote
audible or visual indication of problems associated with the EC300
Control System. The EC300 Control alarm output is a normally closed
contact that opens when an alarm condition occurs. How you connect
the Alarm circuit depends on the alarm used as follows:
• Alarm is a digital annunciator or low-current relay an
intermediate relay is not necessary.
• Alarm is a high current audible alarm or buzzer an intermediate
relay, with a transient suppression diode, is recommended as

and the appropriate contacts on the system ends.
 Engine throttle harness contacts and conductors. The installer installs
the pins provided by the Deutsch connector kit at the J5 end and the
appropriate contacts on the system ends.
Electronic Control Module Throttle Wiring
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) (also known as Electronic Control Unit
(ECU), or Electronic Engine Control (EEC)) provides the interface between
the engine and the EC300 Control. The EC300 Control provides the interface
signals listed in Table 3 on page 116.
Each engine manufacturer provides specifications for the throttle signal and
power supply connections for their ECM. See Table 4 on page 118 for the
ECMs currently supported by the EC300 Control.
If the specific engine is not listed, contact Twin Disc Inc. or a local distributor
for custom information and support.
Refer to “Appendix - B” for detailed electrical installation requirements for

the engines listed.
The connector kit supplied for engine control harness J5 has enough contacts
and plugs necessary to fill the connector. Unused pin positions must have a
sealing plug inserted in order to maintain the environmental integrity of the
connector.

Neutral Start Interlock and Manual Override
The neutral start interlock is a relay contact inside the EC300 Control. The
relay contact closes only when the following criteria are met:
 The system ignition is turned on.

 A control head is selected.
 The lever for the selected control head is in the neutral position.

This means that an engine can be started only under the following conditions:
 A control head is in command.
 The control head’s lever is in the neutral detent position.
Normally, the boat wiring routes the start command wire from the key switch
or engine control panel through the EC300 Control’s neutral start interlock. If a
bypass or override switch is desired, contact Twin Disc Incorporated or a local
distributor for information related to specific installation requirements. Damage
or injury that is caused by improper installation is not the responsibility of
Twin Disc Incorporated or its distributors.
 Neutral Start: Connected at J5-10 on the controller. This prevents
the engine from being started when the manual override valve is not
in neutral.
 Manual Override Neutral: Manual override is connected here, see
Figure 85, and J8 in “Bridge Signals Harness Installation (J8)”
on page 147. In this procedure you connect the manual override
neutral switch in series with the neutral start relay in the controller via
J5-9 and J5-10.

Engine Control Harness Installation
To install the engine control harness perform the following procedure:

1. Identify the wiring requirements from the installation drawing:
• For the engine throttle: Locate the necessary connections
on the engine control module or engine control wiring circuits.
See “Electronic Control Module Throttle Wiring” on page
134 and “Appendix - B” for information about the engine(s)
in your installation.
• For the neutral start interlock and manual override
functions: See “Neutral Start Interlock and Manual

Figure 85. Neutral Start Interlock and Manual Override Wiring

As shown in Figure 85 there are two different ways to wire the neutral
start interlock, based on starter solenoid current as follows:
▪ Less than 5 amps DC: Connect directly to the starter
solenoid.
▪ Exceeds 5 amps DC: Use an isolation relay.
• For the engine speed sensor: This is supplied by Twin Disc

in the pre-made harness which connects to the transmission
input speed sensor.
2. Install the engine control harness:

If the EC300 and the engine’s electronic control module share
battery negative perform the following procedure:
a. Cut the necessary conductors and sleeving for the engine
control harness ensuring adequate length via an appropriate
route as indicated by “Electrical Wiring and Routing” on
page 11.
The throttle signal wires must be 18 AWG stranded copper wire. All other
wires must be a minimum of 18 AWG stranded copper wire.
b. As required, strip and install the appropriate contacts on

the engine end of the conductors in accordance with the
manufacturers’ instructions.
The engine speed sensor signal must connect only to the EC300 Control. If
another speed sensor signal is required, use engine speed sensor expanders
or dual output engine speed sensors. Note that a tachometer output is
available from the EC300 Control.
It is very important that the ECM ground be connected to

J5-3 of the controller as it provides the ground reference for the ECM throttle
signal as shown in Figure 75 on page 122. If this connection is not made
then throttle behavior will not be as expected.
c. Install the engine end connectors to their respective points as

indicated by the ECM manufacturer’s instructions.

d. Route the engine harness to the associated EC300 Control.

e. Crimp the supplied Deutsch pin (PN 0462-209-16141) using the
Deutsch HDT crimp tool (PN HDT 48-00) for the engine control
harness J5 connector on the wires. Ensure that the pin-to-wire
crimp is uniform and complete.
f. Referring to your system installation drawing, “Electronic
Control Module Throttle Wiring” on page 134, and
“Appendix - B” as required for pin numbering information,
insert the throttle pins into their positions in the J5 connector.
Ensure that the pins are locked into the connector.
g. Proceed to the next step.
If the EC300 and the engine’s electronic control module do not
share battery negative perform the following procedure:
a. Install the short black wire into position 3 at J5 of the EC300

f. Proceed to the next step.
3. Install the neutral start interlock and manual override:
The EC300 Control’s neutral start interlock contacts and any hard-wired
transmission neutral interlock must be wired in series with the vessel’s starting
circuit as shown in Figure 85. If a hard-wired transmission neutral start switch
is present, modify the following installation procedures to accommodate the
switch.
a. Cut the necessary conductors and sleeving for the neutral
start interlock and manual override harness ensuring adequate
length via an appropriate route as indicated by “Electrical
Wiring and Routing” on page 11.
The neutral start interlock wires must be 14 AWG stranded copper wire,

Connect to isolation relay.
d. Route both neutral start interlock and manual override yellow
with a red stripe wires to the EC300 Control.
Ensure that the pin-to-wire crimp is uniform and complete.
The Deutsch 14 AWG contact (PN 0462-209-16141) has a green band.

e. Crimp the supplied Deutsch contact (PN 0462-209-16141)

and contacts, as determined by the installed ignition switch, manual
override switch, tachometer and alarm.

2. Cut the necessary conductors and sleeving for the bridge signals
harness ensuring adequate length via an appropriate route as
indicated by “Electrical Wiring and Routing” on page 11.
All wires must be a minimum of 18 AWG stranded copper wire.
3. Pull the conductors through the sleeving.

4. Route the bridge end of the harness to the bridge.
5. Install the appropriate pins on the bridge end of the conductors in
accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
6. At the controller end of the harness, strip the insulation and crimp the
supplied Deutsch pins (PN 0462-209-16141) to the wires using the
Deutsch HDT crimp tool (PN HDT 48-00). Ensure that the pin-to-wire
crimp is uniform and complete.
7. Install the ignition wire: The ignition (J8-1) signal is intended to turn
the EC300 Control on only when the ignition switch has been set to on.
Therefore, it must be connected to the load side of the ignition switch.
The following instructions refer to a combination ignition switch with an ON

position and a START position. With this type of ignition switch, power to the
EC300 Control must not be interrupted when starting the engine. If a common
master power switch is used to enable separate START push buttons, use
the master power switch as the source for this signal.
The DC voltage from the ignition switch to J8, Pin 1 must be from the same
source as the voltage used by the EC300 Control. It must not be interrupted
when the engine is started.
a. Strip the ignition wire and install the contact according to the
contact manufacturer’s instructions.
b. Connect the ignition wire to the load side of the ignition switch.
c. At the controller end, insert the ignition wire into position 1 of
the J8 connector.

8. Install the manual override switch wiring:
The manual override switch must be properly wired if the transmission

is equipped with a manual override valve. Failure to properly wire
the manual override switch may cause catastrophic gear failure if
the manual override valve and the forward or reverse solenoid are
inadvertently activated at the same time.
a. At the manual override valve end: Strip each wire to length as
required by the valve.
b. Connect each of the stripped manual override wires to one of
the screw terminals on neutral switch 2 as shown in Figure 90..

J8 connector and the other into position 4 of the J8 connector.
9. Install the tachometer output wiring: The tachometer output circuit
is used to drive a tachometer indicator. This signal can be used to drive
a tachometer at the helm, indicating either engine or propeller speed.
a. Strip the tachometer wires and install the contacts as required
by the contact manufacturer.
b. Connect one wire to the signal input connection on the
tachometer and the other to the return connection on the
tachometer.
c. t the controller end, insert the wire connected to the tachometer
signal input into position 5 of the J8 connector.
d. At the controller end, insert the wire connected to the tachometer
signal return into position 6 of the J8 connector.

10. Install alarm output wiring, if required: The EC300 Control provides an
alarm relay output rated at an operating current of 2 amp maximum.
This output is used for remote audible or visual indication of problems
associated with the EC300 Control System. The EC300 Control
alarm output is a normally closed contact that opens when an alarm
condition occurs. How you connect the alarm circuit depends on the
alarm used as follows:
• Alarm is a digital annunciator or low-current relay an
intermediate relay is not necessary.
• Alarm is a high current audible alarm or buzzer an intermediate
relay, with a transient suppression diode, is recommended as
shown in the following figure.

Station Transfer and Servo Actuator Installation
J11 provides the following functions:

 Station transfer: See “Station Transfer” on page 152.
 Servo actuator: See “Servo Actuator” on page 153
To install the harness connections see “Installation Process” on page 154.
Station Transfer
The station transfer output circuit is used to alert ship’s personnel that
control of the ship’s propulsion system is being transferred from one control
station to another via an audible device. It can drive up to 1A of current at
a voltage approximately equal to the controller power supply. If the audible
device requires higher current or a different voltage, an appropriately sized,
customer supplied relay may be used.
This installation guide covers only direct connection of the audible device to
the EC300 Control.
Install the station transfer output wiring harness as follows:

1. Connect one wire to the positive signal input of the audible device.
2. Connect the other wire to the negative signal input of the audible
device.
3. Route the two wires to the EC300 Control.
4. Remove the locking wedge from the J11 Deutsch connector.
5. Insert the wire for the positive signal input of the audible device into
pin 1 of the J11 connector.
6. Insert the wire for the negative signal input of the audible device into
pin 4 of the J11 connector.

Servo Actuator
The prefabricated servo actuator harness connects to J11 and provides

the interface between the EC300 Control and the Servo Actuator’s 12-pin
connector as shown in the following figure.
The servo actuator power harness is fabricated by the installer at the time of
installation with components provided by the customer. The J11 connector
contains all contacts and sealing plugs that are required to fill the connector.
Sealing plugs must be installed into all unused pin positions in order to
maintain the integrity of the connector. servo actuator harness wiring must
meet the following criteria:
 Battery positive and negative power wires must be 14 American Wire

Gauge (AWG) minimum (15 amps max.).
A fuse or circuit breaker is required at the battery or power distribution point

for cable protection. The servo actuator is internally protected.
 Power distribution wiring must be insulated. Caps or boots are required

at all terminals in order to prevent accidental shorts.
 The main power wires to the power/interface connector (battery + and
battery -) must be routed directly to the battery or a primary distribution
panel within 1 m (3.3 ft) of the battery, but not the starter feed.
 Special requirements apply to vessels with gasoline, liquid petroleum
gas (LPG), or Marine Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines or
to vessels with hazardous areas. Power routing and wiring must
meet all applicable codes and standards. Circuit components may
have to be rated as Ignition Protected as per SAE J1171 External
Ignition Protection of Marine Electrical Devices, UL 1500 Ignition
Protection Test to Marine Products, and the electrical system
requirements for boats in Title 33 CFR 183.410(a).
 Do not connect the servo actuator’s battery + or - power input directly
to the engine or any of its electrical components.
 Connect the servo power wires to the battery for the engine controlled
by the servo actuator. Connect port engine servos to the port battery.
Connect starboard engine servos to the starboard battery.
 Use a good quality connector to connect the power wires to the battery
or bus bar and check the wires to ensure they are secure. Do not use
simple spring-loaded connectors.

 DC distribution must be a two-wire system. Battery return wiring must

be routed to the battery and not to the bonding system or to the metallic
hull. The negative side of the battery must be connected to ground if
the system is to be grounded.
 The electrical load added by the servo actuator system is not large.
Current is limited to 15 amps at either 12 or 24 VDC. However, in
some circumstances, this may require an increase in the capacity of
the power distribution system, larger batteries, and/or larger grounding
conductors. The customer is responsible for meeting the applicable
code and standard requirements.

Power and Grounding

This chapter provides the information required to connect power and ground
to the EC300 Control and properly bond the chassis. Follow the general
process below:

1. Install the power and grounding harnesses. See “EC300 Control

Power and Grounding Harness Installation (J13)” on page 162.
2. Bond the EC300 Control chassis. See “EC300 Control Bonding

Power and Grounding ©2016 Twin Disc, Incorporated
EC300 Control Power and Grounding Harness Installation (J13)
The Control Power and Grounding Harness provides operating power for
the EC300 Control and connects to J13. This harness is field-fabricated.
Twin Disc Inc. supplies the 6-pin Deutsch connector kit for J13 that provides
all contacts and sealing plugs required to fill the contact positions. Sealing
plugs must be installed into all unused pin positions in order to maintain the
integrity of the connector. The customer supplies the wiring and connectors
for the equipment end of the harness.
Using switched power to the EC300 Control is not recommended. However,

if standards or agencies require that all electronic circuits have on-off control,
then use the same switched power that also feeds the engine controller.
Controller power or grounding connections cannot be made at any conductor

through which motor starting current flows. Do not use a connection directly
on the engine or starter. Locate the connection as close to the battery as
practical.
Use the same source of power for the EC300 Control as used for the
electronically controlled engine, if applicable. Ensure that the circuit current
rating is adequate for combined load of the EC300 Control and the engine
controller.
Obtain power either from primary distribution for the engine or directly from
the batteries. Primary distribution is the first location to which the heavy-duty
battery wires connect. Do not connect downstream of any secondary circuit
breaker or fuse.
The following criteria must be met when installing power distribution wiring
for US installations:
 Low voltage conductors must comply with SAE standards J1127

Battery Cable or J1128 Low Tension Primary Cable. The insulation
temperature rating must meet the requirements of SAE J378 Marine
Engine Wiring or UL 1426 Cables for Boats.

 Electrical cables must be constructed of stranded copper conductors,

thermoplastic, elastomeric or other insulation, moisture-resistant
jackets, and, where applicable, armor and outer-sheathing are to be
in accordance with IEC Publication 60092-353, IEEE 1580-2001 or
other marine standards acceptable to the American Bureau of Shipping
(ABS). All electrical cables for power circuits are to have insulation
suitable for a conductor temperature of not less than 60°C (140°F).
 Battery positive and negative power wires must be 14 AWG minimum
(15 amps max.).
 Harness constructions shall use stranded copper (19 strands or more);
rated for 50 VDC, conforming to UL 1426 Cables for Boats or other
applicable standards; should not be more than 6.1 m (20 ft) long;
should be marked with type/style, voltage, size, and dry temperature
rating; and should be color coded as shown in “Table 2. Power Wire
Color Codes as per ABYC Standard E-9” on page 24.
 Approved fuses or manual-reset trip-free circuit breakers must be
used for the EC300 Control System power distribution wiring as per
the applicable codes or standards. The fuse or circuit breaker rating
must be 15 amps.
A fuse or circuit breaker is required at the battery or power distribution point

for cable protection. The EC300 Control is internally protected.
 A 15A fuse and fuse holder are supplied in the Power Connector Kit
(J13).
 All fuses must meet the general provisions of Article 240 of the National
Electrical Code or IEC 92-202, as appropriate, and have an interrupting
rating sufficient to interrupt the maximum asymmetrical RMS short-
circuit current at the point of application. Each fuse must provide for
ready access to test the condition of the fuse.
 Unless otherwise permitted, the fuse or circuit breaker must be located
within 178 mm (7 in.) of the point at which the power conductor is
connected.
If the wire is continually sheathed or enclosed and if connected directly to a

battery terminal, the distance may be up to 1,829 mm (72 in.).
 Power distribution wiring must be insulated. Caps or boots are required

at all terminals in order to prevent accidental shorts.

 Special requirements apply to vessels with gasoline, liquid petroleum

gas (LPG), or Marine Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines or to
vessels with hazardous areas. Power routing and wiring must meet
all applicable codes and standards. Circuit components may have
to be rated as Ignition Protected as per SAE J1171 External Ignition
Protection of Marine Electrical Devices, UL 1500 Ignition Protection
Test to Marine Products, and the electrical system requirements for
boats in Title 33 CFR 183.410(a).
 The main power wires to the power/interface connector (battery + and
battery -) must be routed directly to the battery or a primary distribution
panel within 1 m (3.3 ft) of the battery, but not the starter feed.
 Do not connect the EC300 Control’s battery + or - power input directly
to the engine or any of its electrical components.
 Connect the EC300 Control primary power wires to the battery for the
engine controlled by the EC300 Control:
• Port engine control primary power connections (J13-1 or J13-
4) and ground (J13-3 and J13-6) should be connected to the
“port” battery.
• Starboard engine control primary power connections (J13-2 or
J13-5) and ground (J13-3 and J13-6) should be connected to
the “starboard” battery.
 Use a good quality connector to connect the power wires to the battery
or bus bar and check the wires to be sure they are secure. Do not use
simple spring-loaded connectors.
 DC distribution must be a two-wire system. Battery return wiring must
be routed to the battery and not to the bonding system or to the metallic
hull. The negative side of the battery must be connected to ground if
the system is to be grounded.
 The electrical load added by the EC300 Control System is not large.
Current is limited to 15 amps at either 12 or 24 VDC. However, in
some circumstances, this may require an increase in the capacity of
the power distribution system, larger batteries, and/or larger grounding
conductors. The customer is responsible for meeting the applicable
code and standard requirements.

The EC300 Control operates on voltages between 10 and 28 VDC. DC-to-

DC converters must be used for other system voltages. Power wiring must
be a twisted pair of 14 AWG stranded copper wire.
Auxiliary batteries are required by certain codes and standards. Figure 94
shows redundant batteries and connections.

Figure 95. Fully Redundant Power Distribution
Connect the EC300 Control(s) to power and ground as follows (comply with
General Electrical Installation Guidelines):
1. Using a multimeter, verify that the battery voltage does not exceed the
voltage limits for the EC300 Control (see Appendix A). It is important
to test across the wired battery configuration at the points that are
to be connected to the EC300 Control(s), such as in a system with
series connected batteries.
2. Install two fuses or circuit breakers at the battery positive or engine
controller power distribution connections.
3. Route power wiring to the fuses or circuit breakers.
4. Temporarily remove the fuses or open the circuit breakers.

Power wiring must be a twisted pair of 14 AWG stranded copper wire.
Ensure that the EC300 Control power wiring is electrically identical to that
used for any associated engine controller.
5. Connect the first red wire going to EC300 Control Connector J13 Pin
1 to the load side of Main Battery fuse or circuit breaker.
If no auxiliary battery is present, do not install a wire to J13 Pin 2.

Pin 2 should be plugged.
6. Connect the second red wire going to EC300 Control Connector J13
Pin 2 to the load side of the Auxiliary Battery fuse or circuit breaker.
If auxiliary batteries are used, the two batteries and the EC300 Control’s
negative power connection must be made at the same point.
7. Connect the yellow (preferred) or black wire going to EC300 Control

Connector J13 Pin 3 to the DC Grounding Bus or the DC Negative
Bus as is applicable.
8. Route the EC300 Control Power and Grounding Harness (J13) to the
associated EC300 Control.
The Deutsch contacts (14 AWG) (PN 0462-209-16141) have a green band.
9. Using the Deutsch crimping tool (PN HDT 48-00), crimp the wires to
the Deutsch contacts (14 AWG) (PN 0462-209-16141).
10. Assemble the J13 Deutsch Mating Connector (PN DT06-6S-P012).

13. For vessels complying with American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)

Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels 2002 or Rules for
Building and Classing Steel Vessels Under 90 Meters (295 Feet) 2001:
Measure the insulation resistance of power and lighting cables. Each

power and each lighting circuit is to have an insulation resistance
between conductors and between each conductor and earth of not
less than 0.4 MΩ for loads less than 25 A.
Appliances connected to the circuits may be disconnected for this test.
14. Ensure that the power harness conductors for J13 pin 1 through J13
pin 6 are disconnected at both ends.
15. Using a 500 VDC MΩ meter or equivalent, measure the resistance
between each of the following sets of conductors:
• J13 pin 1 and Earth or Bonding System
Verify that all measurements are greater than or equal to 0.4 MΩ.
Leave EC300 Control Power and Grounding Harness (J13) disconnected

from the EC300 Control until all wiring has been completed.

EC300 Control Bonding Installation
Although the EC300 Control enclosure electrically connects directly to the

surface on which it is mounted, bonding is required. Bonding ensures that
the non-current carrying metallic enclosure is properly grounded to prevent
a voltage potential from existing between it and other metallic parts and
components of the vessel. This helps prevent shock and electrical noise.
Install the bonding system as per the applicable code for the vessel because
codes vary. Depending on the governing body, codes may:
 Not allow bonding connections to the battery negative terminal.

 Require that the bonding connection and battery negative be
connected at one point only.
 Require that there be no connection between the bonding system and
the battery negative.
The bonding wire used for the EC300 Control must be connected to the
same bonding system as used for the engine. Ground the EC300 Control
bonding wire to the negative battery terminal only if the engine is grounded
to the negative battery terminal.
Bonding Requirements
The EC300 Control must be bonded. If used, the Expansion Box and the
Servo Actuator must also be bonded.
Insulated push-pull cable mounting hardware may be necessary to satisfy

bond/isolation requirements, especially if the engine block is not grounded to
the battery negative. See Push-Pull Cable Installation Kits for Nonconductive
Vessels.
EC300 control system components including controllers, several actuators,

and accessories that have designated bond points should be mounted on
isolating platforms like plywood, starboard, PVC boxes, etc.

The following criteria must be met when making bonding connections:
 When the engine is grounded to the battery negative terminal, then

the EC300 Control’s bond connection should also be to the battery
negative.
 When the vessel or engine has an independent bonding system, then
the control should be bonded to the independent bonding system.
 Bond wires must be connected to one of the unpainted mounting
surfaces of the EC300 Control, the Expansion Box, and the Servo
Actuator. Any paint must be removed in order to make the bonding
connection. The bond wire must be terminated with a ring lug that fits
the fastener used to mount the component.
 The bonding conductor must be 14 AWG stranded copper wire with
insulation that is colored green with yellow stripe (preferred) or green
to comply with ABYC standards.
 Bonding conductor should be as short as possible but no longer than

Engine Connection Requirements
Caterpillar Engine Connection Requirements
This throttle signal configuration is known as a PWM or Duty Cycle. The

EC300 sets the throttle signal duty cycle to approximately 9% at idle and
92% at full throttle. Generally, the EC300 is connected to the engine control
at the connections designated for the “Primary Throttle Position Sensor” or
“TPS”. Depending on the model and harnessing provided, the EC300 Engine
Harness (J5) will either be connected to the “Primary Throttle Position Sensor”
connector, or directly to the Customer Connector. See Table 14 and Table 15.
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s literature to resolve any discrepancies.

Cummins Engine Connection Requirements
Varies with Type (Series) of Engine
Cummins Centry Engine Connection Requirements
The EC300 supports the Cummins Centry Type 8 engine controller. This
controller is used on QSK, QSM-11, 485, 480C, and KTA type engines. The
KTA engine is configured for a current loop interface. All other types are
voltage interfaces. The EC300 supplies approximately 1.1 volts at idle and
3.95 volts at full throttle when configured as a Cummins voltage output and 5.5
ma at idle and 19.8 ma at full throttle when configured as a Cummins current
loop output. All Cummins installations require pin one of J5 on the EC300
controller to be connected to J8, pin 2. A three pin GM Packard Weather
Pack connector (12010717) mates with the Cummins OEM throttle connector.

Cummins Quantum Voltage Type Engine Connection Requirements
This throttle signal configuration is a DC voltage. The EC300 throttle signal

is set to approximately 0.1.1 VDC at idle and 3.95 VDC at full throttle. This
configuration is typically used with Cummins QSM-11, 485C and QSK models
with Quantum series engine controls. Generally, the EC300 is connected to
the engine control at the connections designated for the throttle or throttle
pot. Depending on the model and harnessing, the EC300 wiring will connect
to the “Throttle” or the “OEM” connector. See Table17 and Table 18. Refer to
the engine manufacturer’s literature to resolve any discrepancies.
