0–100% Humidity

IP65 Protection

Key Features Section

Automatic start/stop sequencing: Provides consistent, reliable start and stop behavior, reducing manual operation and improving equipment safety.
Wide engine compatibility: Works with mechanical engines using magnetic pickup or AC frequency signals, and with electronic engines through J1939 CAN communication.
Rugged field-ready design: Encapsulated housing and sealed gasket maintain NEMA4 / IP65 protection when mounted correctly, ideal for dusty, wet and high-vibration environments.
Dedicated and configurable I/O: Includes built-in inputs for common engine alerts and additional auxiliary inputs/outputs for custom control logic.
Adjustable crank settings: User-selectable crank attempts, rest times and shutdown delays allow fine tuning based on engine type and site conditions.
Accurate speed sensing: Supports RPM detection through magnetic pickup, AC frequency input or ECU-based CAN signals.
Low power consumption: Efficient sleep modes support battery-powered and remote installations where energy saving is critical.
Supports CAN-based monitoring: Reads engine data directly from J1939 engines, reducing wiring complexity and improving system accuracy.

Applications

Pump systems: Automates pump activation for water, irrigation, dewatering and industrial fluid transfer applications.
Generator sets: Ideal for portable units, standby gensets and rental equipment needing stable automatic start/stop cycles.
Compressors: Supports repeated start/stop cycles in air and gas compressors while monitoring critical safety parameters.
Engine-driven power units: Suitable for construction, agriculture, drilling and hydraulic power packs requiring dependable engine control.
Marine auxiliary equipment: Works reliably on marine pumps, onboard utility engines and vibration-heavy environments.
General industrial machinery: Fits any engine-driven machine needing simple automated control without complex PLC integration.
