Key Features

• Two core control modes: isochronous (zero‑droop) for single‑machine constant‑speed operation; droop mode for multi‑generator parallel load balancing

• Accepts magnetic pickup (MPU) speed signal (1–30 V AC), supports 4‑20 mA/1‑5 VDC remote speed setpoint input

• Built‑in precise real‑power load‑sharing logic for stable power distribution among paralleled gensets

• Directly drives 0–200 mA proportional hydraulic/electro‑hydraulic actuators without extra driver modules

• Front‑panel potentiometer adjustment for speed, droop, load limit and start fuel limit, simple commissioning

• Built‑in protections: overspeed, reverse power, over/under frequency & voltage monitoring

• Rugged metal‑chassis industrial design, high anti‑EMI, anti‑vibration performance, certified by Lloyd’s Register for marine use
