AUTOMATIC ENGINE CONTROL FOR

DIESEL/GAS ENGINES
The ECU-9988LC engine control provides complete automation and safety ECU®-9988LC
monitoring of a gas or diesel engine. The ECU-9988LC controls the starter
and fuel thus completely taking the operator out of the picture. A built in ONE VERSION FOR
speed switch controls both starter disengagement and overspeed protection.
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

ECU®-9988LC A COMPLETE AUTOMATIC ENGINE CONTROL

The ECU®-9988LC covers just about all the essential engine control functions that are asked for in most specifi-
cations.

The ECU®-9988LC 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 moni-
tor 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®-9988LC expands to as many faults as required by using the Engine Alarm Input. The ECU®-9988LC
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. The unit also has future oppor-
tunities for field firmware upgrades, electronic set points and RS485 communications options.

The above illustrates the ECU®-9988LC engine control with an energized to run engine. Placing the control switch in MANU-
AL or closure of the Remote Start Contacts while in AUTO initiates the Crank mode. The Fuel and Starter Relays are ener-
gized causing the engine to begin cranking. If the engine does not start in the allotted time, as determined by the Crank Cy-
cle Adjust and Dip Switch setting, the Overcrank Fault occurs, and the Fuel and Starter Relays are turned off. If during crank-
ing 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 shut-
down immediately. If the internal speed switch detects a speed equal to or above the Overspeed Adjustment Setting the en-
gine 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 & Over-
speed LED's will both turn on. The unit also has future opportunities for field firmware upgrades, electronic set points and
RS485 communications options via a COMM port using a special adaptor.
