Description
ECON-4 can be connected to various types of actuators. Setpoints of the internal actuator feedback loop are
tuned for the common actuators and predefined from the factory. Normally there is no need to change them.
The user must only choose the right Actuator type. By default the ActType 1 is chosen. Check the type of
your actuator and compare with the predefined type.

Description
ECON-4 must be in AUTO for normal operation. Mode MAN can be used during installation to check the
function of the actuator and linkage. If ECON-4 is in MAN mode, it sets the actuator to position Act position.
It can be switched to MAN mode only any time even engine is running. This allows measurement of
transition curve to calculate PID parameters.
ECON-4 mode
Note:
ECON-4 when engine is running set the same value to setpoint Act position as position where throttle is.
It assure bump less transition.
IMPORTANT: Even Overspeed protection is active in all modes, be carefull when setting throttle
position manualy. Engine can accelerate when breaker opens or when throttle position is too
high.Make sure ECON-4 mode is in Auto positon before you leave installation.
