ECM0001: Current Steering Module-1

ECM0001: Current Steering Module • Eliminates the need for double pole double throw switches (Bussed Cathode Design) to control a Brand Series 36 or Series 38 stack valve. • Compatible with 12 or 24 VDC systems. • Easy installation with 0.250"quick tab terminals. • Potted enclosure helps protects the internal circuitry from mechanical and environmental stress. • Uses 10% less wire than equivalent DPDT systems.* • Simplifies the replacement of stack valves that do not use an unloaded inlet. • Extends switch contact life; each output terminal has inductive kickback suppression Interface joysticks, switch boxes, and pendant controls with Brand Series 36 or Series 38 stack valves. The ECM0001 was designed to simplify the wiring of Brand Series 36 and Series 38 stack valves. When a switch input is activated a corresponding work section coil terminal and the inlet coil output terminals become energized. The module is set up to run up to a 6-spool stack valve. Two ECM0001 modules can be daisy chained for control of up to 12 *10% savings based on wiring for a 6-section stack valve. Switches are less then 3 inches apart, and located 10 feet from the power source and stack valve. "Inlet coil output terminals must be limited to a combined 2.5A load. The inlet coil output buss current must not exceed 2.5A. *** 5A fuse based on controlling a 1-12 spool Brand Series 36 or Brand Series 38 stack valve.
