    The EC5000 is a multifunction engine speed governor capable of driving proportional solenoid actuators up to 8 amps. It controls engine speed isochronously or in droop mode, and can limit starting fuel and ramp speed on start-up to reduce smoke. It accepts magnetic sensor speed inputs and provides outputs to control fuel supply. Key features include adjustable settings for speed, droop, ramp time, and start fuel quantity.

    AMBACs EC5000 was specifically designed as a multifunction engine


    speed governor, capable of driving proportional solenoid actuators
    including the Cummins EFC valve, with steady continuous current up
    to 8 Amps. The controller has the capability to limit starting fuel and
    ramp speed on start-up and thus provide smoke reduction. An AUX
    input can be utilized as either an external trim control input or a load
    sharing control input. Controls are provided to set RUN and IDLE
    speeds, DROOP, RAMP time, and START FUEL quantity in addition to
    the normal GAIN, STABILITY, and DEAD TIME settings for this controller.
    The starting current, output current and DROOP are switch selectable
    in two ranges for small or large actuators. DROOP OFFSET adjustment
    is provided for independent speed setting in droop mode. Protection
    against a jammed actuator or shorted output is also incorporated.
    These units are packaged in a rugged, metal case with a conformally
    coated circuit board which provides excellent environmental protection.
    Every unit is fully electrically tested and meets AMBACs traditional high
    standards for quality and long-term reliability.

    Description
    The EC5000 operates directly from a battery system, measures the speed of an engine and supplies a
    control signal to the actuator which controls engine fuel supply.
    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. 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. 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). Terminal 5 is grounded (to terminal 4) for DROOP
    operation or left open for ISOCHRONOUS mode. During cranking, the actuator is commanded to the START
    FUEL current setting to eliminate smoke from excess starting fuel. 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
