Product catalog summary
Features:
  • PWM output proportional to joystick deflection.
  • Plug and Play stack valve control with switched output for each side of the lever's center position.
  • Ergonomic design with weather-tight control package.
  • Protection against reverse polarity, short circuit, and over voltage.
  • Current controlled output, maintaining output current regardless of supply voltage and coil resistance variations.
  • Onboard indicators for input and output signals, power, and joystick status.
  • Two enable lines with adjustable soft start and one with adjustable soft stop.
  • Independent ramp adjustments (0.1 - 12 seconds).
  • Minimum and maximum current adjustment for output span fine-tuning.
  • Wide voltage supply range (12-30 VDC).
Application:

The EC20400 is designed to proportionally control the speed and direction of hydraulic motors and cylinders, primarily paired with a single section Brand Series 36 EFC.

Description:

The EC20400 is a compact, weatherproof joystick control built for harsh environments, offering user-friendly features for versatility and ease of use.

General Specifications:
  • Voltage Supply: 12-30 VDC
  • PWM Output Current: 2.0 Amps Max Continuous
  • PWM Output Frequency: 107Hz +/- 5 Hertz
  • Switched DC Output Current: 2.5 Amps Max Continuous Each Output
  • Environmental Ratings: IP66 / NEMA 4
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
Control Layout:

Details the pin configuration for E1948 and E1915 output cables, including power supply, ground, enable inputs, and coil outputs.

Internal Layout:

Includes terminal block wiring and fuse specifications, with factory settings for ramping and output adjustments.

Adjustment Procedure:
  1. Minimum output: Adjust until function begins to move, then back off slightly.
  2. Maximum output: Adjust for desired function speed, limited by hydraulic system capabilities.
  3. Ramp up/down: Adjust for desired delay in valve opening/closing.
Typical System Configuration:

Recommends a 10 amp fuse within 18 inches of the power source, with instructions for unused wire management.

Parts and Accessories:
  • Includes waterproof vent, toggle switch, switch boot seal, and mounting feet kit.
Warnings and Cautions:
  • Ensure all wires are secured and isolated to prevent injury or damage.
  • Mount only on flat surfaces and avoid AC voltage systems.
  • Adhere to specified voltage and resistance limits to avoid warranty voidance.
