New flexible control system from engineering concepts unlimited

Engineering Concepts Unlimited (ECU) recently launched a new engine control unit for engine generator set and pump set control. While targeted primarily toward the smaller end of market, the new 9960 Series control has enough flexibility and capability to be suitable for application in ECU'S more traditional larger engine installations, according to Adam Suchko, president of the Fishers, Ind., manufacturer.

"These units can be configured for everything from ultra-simple to reasonably complicated applications," said Suchko. "It is really targeted at small sets and pumps, but it has just enough capability to eke onto a regular set. It's probably one of the most flexible controls we've ever offered."
The new 9960 Series control is a fully potted unit housed in an ECU standard (2.9 in. x 3.1 in. x 1 in.) zinc case. It can accommodate as many as three 40 amp relays and a total of 12 connections to monitor and control a range of engine conditions and functions. Faston connectors are used to provide high power and density and facilitate quick installation, Suchko noted.
