The EEG7000 speed controller uses the GAConfig

 

Tool to update parameter values on the EEG7000, adjust performance settings for 

the engine and view engine information.  This PC tool uses a menu-driven 

user-friendly interface for configuration, tuning, and trouble

-

shooting.  The tool also allows you to set up multiple scenarios and save them for use later or to import and export settings to share 

with other EEG7000 users.

The GAConfig Tool is downloaded from 

GAC’s website

. A PC with at least Windows 7, one USB port and an internet connection is 

required.   A 14 pin connector (GAC EC1502) or cable harness assembly (CH1520) is also required. 

Older EEG7000 controller hardware may have firmware that is not able to fully utilize the GAConfig Tool features. 

1. 

Download the EEG7000 GAConfig Tool from the 

GAC Software Download 

page

. Depending on your workplace the download installer may request 

additional information. After the software is installed the PC must be re-

started. 

2. 

The download file is saved in the PCs default download folder area, unless 

you tell it otherwise. Once downloaded, double-click the file name to start 

the installation.  If you have any issues installing the file please cal your 

GAC representative. The default installation is in the Program Files (x86) /

Governors America Corporation file area. 

3. 

The GAConfig Setup screen displays. Click Install.  The Installing GACon

-

fig screen displays, showing a progress bar. 

4. 

Click Finish when complete.  The GAConfig icon is placed 

on the desktop. On first use a prompt will ask you to select a 

device. Select EEG7000 from the drop-down list.  

5.  Connect the EEG7000 to the PC using a USB-A port and connect the 

USB-B port on the EEG7000. Power for the controller comes from the 

engine battery. A green LED displays on the EEG7000 when power is 

successful. 

6.  Do not start the engine

.

7. 

Double-click the GAConfig Tool icon on your desktop. 

8. 

Connect the GAConfig Tool to the EEG7000 by clicking the Connect icon 

on the top left of the GAConfig window. 

9.  A pop-up dialogue window displays a drop-

down list of available serial port connections.  

Select the appropriate port and click OK.  If you 

are unsure of the port, 

use the Windows Device 

manager

 to locate what device is plugged in to 

which USB port. 

10.  The Connection Status indicator on the 

lower left corner of GAConfig Tool flashes yellow then turns green as 

the connection is completed. The status bar displays Connected. If the 

connection does not complete, a red Disconnected message displays. 

Check your connections and note any error messages on the PC and try 

again. 

If you already have the GAConfig Tool software on your system, an automatic 

upgrade with the latest version will be offered.  It is always good practice to save 

your settings.
