Description
The Cascade controller offers automatic start and stop
control with easy configuration for a broad number of
applications.
This auto-start controller is designed to fit any engine-
driven application requiring a simple and robust auto-
matic start and stop sequence. Pumps, Compressors,
Grinders, Power Units and Generators are just few of
the industrial applications for the controller.
The Cascade controller is fully compatible with all
major engine types. Whether you are running mechan-
ical or J1939 engines, the controller will work with
your application.
Here are some of the unique features of the Cascade
that only Murphy can offer at our competitive price.
●
Durability
: Encapsulated to protect it against dirt,
water and dust, along with a compression gasket
to fully seal it to the panel. Cascade is rated
NEMA4 and IP65.
●
Low Battery Blackouts
: Operates in total black-
out for a minimum of two seconds.
●
Compatibility
: Accept MPU, AC Frequency and
ECU speed signals and can operate with standard
and J1939 engines.
●
Inputs and Outputs
: The Cascade Inputs and
Outputs are ruggedly protected and fault tolerant.
●
J1939 Ready
: Works directly with Murphy’s
J1939-ready PowerView gages, just plug and go,
no sender is required.
