Product catalog summary

Overview

This document details the specifications, features, and configurations of the M150 Series Control Panels and Instruments designed for electronically governed engines. These panels provide universal compatibility with various engine installations and include advanced control and monitoring capabilities.

System Components

  • Key Switch
  • Wiring Harness
  • Additional Gauges (Oil Pressure, Fuel Level, Water Temperature, Voltmeter)

Standard Features

  • Reverse Polarity Protection
  • Fuel Level Input
  • Maintenance Timer
  • Engine Shutdown Capability
  • Configurable Engine Speed Limits (Minimum and Maximum RPM)
  • Fault Detection and Alarms (Low Oil Pressure, Low Fuel, Faults)
  • Throttle Control with TSC1 Throttle Control Support
  • J1939 Interface for Engine Communication
  • Audible Alarm Output
  • Sealed Deutsch Connector for Robustness

Control Panel Variants

M150L20 and Pro Series

These panels offer a universal platform with configurable inputs and outputs, supporting J1939 communication and advanced throttle control. They are designed for harsh environments and provide features such as remote speed control and engine shutdown.

M150L15 Series

Similar to the M150L20 but with a focus on auto start/stop engine control. Includes all standard features and supports remote engine start protection and alarms.

Inputs and Outputs

  • Inputs: Fuel level sensors, oil pressure sensors, throttle position sensors, key switch status, and remote control inputs.
  • Outputs: Engine shutdown control, audible alarms, throttle control signals.

Throttle Control

The panels support configurable throttle control with options for two-state or ramp control. They can interface with various throttle types and provide smooth engine speed regulation.

Maintenance and Monitoring

The maintenance timer tracks engine run time and alerts for scheduled maintenance. The display provides real-time engine data including RPM, oil pressure, fuel level, and fault status.

Alarms and Faults

Alarms are generated for critical conditions such as low oil pressure, low fuel level, and system faults. Audible and visual indicators alert operators to these conditions promptly.

Installation and Enclosure

The control panels come in sealed enclosures with robust connectors suitable for marine and industrial environments. The universal design allows for flexible installation configurations.

Manufacturer Information

Manufactured in the USA by Faria Corporation and Beede Instrument Company, providing technical support and service.

Critical Parameters and Settings

  • Engine Minimum RPM: Configurable, example set at 1000 RPM
  • Engine Maximum RPM: Configurable, example set at 3000 RPM
  • Oil Pressure Threshold: Example 44.6 PSI for low oil pressure alarm
  • Fuel Level Thresholds: Configurable for low fuel warnings
  • Maintenance Timer: Tracks engine hours for service intervals

Best Practices and Recommendations

  • Ensure proper wiring harness connections and polarity protection.
  • Configure engine speed limits according to engine manufacturer specifications.
  • Regularly monitor maintenance timer and perform scheduled servicing.
  • Use remote speed control and engine stop features to enhance operational safety.
  • Verify alarm functionality during installation and routine checks.
