The ESD2400 Series are all-electronic devices designed to control engine speed quickly and precisely in response to transient load changes. The ESD2400 will control a wide variety of engines in an isochronous mode when connected to a proportional electric actuator and magnetic speed sensor. The ruggedly built ESD2400 is designed to withstand the engine environment. Light-Force variations are available which are optimized for low current actuators. The ESD2400 Series speed control unit is hard potted and rugged enough to be placed in a control cabinet or engine mounted enclosure with other dedicated control equipment. If water, mist, or condensation may come in contact with the controller, it should be mounted vertically. This will allow the fluid to drain away from the speed control unit.
ESD2401 – GAC speed control unit
The GAC ESD2401 is an all-electronic speed control unit that keeps engine speed steady and reacts quickly to changes in load. Used with a proportional electric actuator and a magnetic speed pickup, it provides isochronous speed control for a wide range of engines. The unit is hard potted, protected against transient and reverse voltage, fungus-proof and corrosion-resistant. It can be installed in a control cabinet or in an engine-mounted enclosure, in any position (vertical preferred). Gain, stability, idle and speed are adjustable, and an optional external 5K speed trim is available. Available for 12 V and 24 V systems, with idle control and an anti-windup circuit. ESD2401: Standard Force version. Important: the engine must have an overspeed shutdown device that works independently of the governor.
