GAC to MTU
Interface Module C ORP.®

INSTALLATION
The EAM111 is an electronic interface module designed to work
with the MTU MDEC electronic engine controls. The module can
accept a speed setting voltage range signal as wide as 0-10V
DC or a narrow trimming voltage centered around 5.0V DC. The
module’s output can be configured to be either a 4-20 or 0-20 mA
signal for the MDEC system. Integral range and zero adjustments
allow the installer to precisely configure the output vs. the input
characteristics.
Power for the module comes from the 24V DC system powering the
MDEC engine control.
WIRING
See Wiring Diagram.
Note 1:
When using the load sharing/ sync input with 5.0V DC at Terminal
C, a jumper must be placed between Terminals E and 2. Terminals
A, B, and D shall all be left open. This will yield about a 12 mA
output. Adjust the zero adjustment for exactly 12 mA with the load
sharing module connected to the control (5.0V DC at Terminal C).
Note 2:
To change from a 0-20 ma range to a 4-20 ma range, a jumper must
be added between Terminals A and B.

Note 3:
The common battery minus connections between the MDEC control,
the EAM111, and the load sharing and synchronizer system should
be as direct as possible electrically (minimum voltage difference).
