Diesel Engine Controller

Introduction -

Dynatek make “ECR 16” is one of the most user friendly, Highly reliable & compact microcontroller based Engine Crank Relay system. This system offers annunciation and controlling with Audio / Visual signal & potential free o/p contact. It has Auto / Manual mode.


Principle of Operation -

‘ECR 16’ Controller is developed to start engine in Auto / Manual mode. In auto mode Controller continuously scan “HYDRANT PRESSURE”, if it drops Controller cranks engine automatically through start relay .When engine reaches to set running condition it is automatically switched over to manual mode to stop the engine manually as per the “FIRE FIGHTING NORMS”. It accepts input faults (Potential free Contact) like LLOP, Over speed, Over heat, etc. Any one of the input fault occurs, the corresponding LED window starts flashing & gives signal to hooter relay for audio alarm. Hooter relay is provided to connect hooter for audio alarm. Input faults are site selectable ( “NO” & “NC”). Dual rate flashing is provided for differentiating the first & subsequent fault. Setting for “ON TIME”, “OFF TIME” & Attempt for CRANK can be done by “DIP SWITCH”.


The Alarm Faults indication.

  • Low Lub Oil Pressure 2) High Water Temperature 3) Over Speed
  • Low Diesel level 5) Engine fail to start
