Description
The EA150 Automatic Engine Controller
provides you with simple–yet sophisticated,
engine automation. It features basic auto-
matic start/stop capabilities plus other fea-
tures found on more sophisticated and
expensive controllers–all in an easy to
install panel.
The EA150 operates from 12 or 24 volt sys-
tems. It includes crank and rest cycles, sens-
ing circuit for crank disconnect and over-
speed, overcrank, and re-crank on false starts.
Four LEDs indicate first-out shutdown for:
low pressure, high temperature, overcrank
and overspeed. A fifth LED for engine run-
ning indicates when crank disconnect occurs.
The built-in oil pressure and water tempera-
ture SWICHGAGE®instruments provide visu-
al indication and can be set to initiate shut-
down on critical pressure and temperature.
The electromechanical quartz base hourme-
ter can record up to 9,999.9 hours. It is
housed in a shockproof case and built to be
rugged and durable for a long life.
A selector switch allows you to manually
select the operation sequence.

Automatic Engine Controller
Sequence of Operation
NOTE: The following sequence is pre-pro-
grammed into the EA150 Engine Automatic.
Operation Sequence with Panel in Auto
When the EA150 receives an automatic start
signal the engine will begin to crank and the
Shutdown Lockout time delay will begin. The
Shutdown Lockout Delay does two functions. It
allows the EA150 to disregard signals from the
low oil pressure and high temperature SWICH-
GAGE®at engine start-up. Also, if the engine
false starts, the re-crank will be delayed to
allow the engine to stop moving before engag-
ing the starter. If the engine fails to start after
the set number of crank and rest attempts, the
EA150 will indicate an overcrank condition by
turning on the Overcrank LED. The engine will
be locked out from any further start attempts.
NOTE: All shutdown conditions can be reset
by moving the selector switch into the OFF
position and back into the AUTO position.
Once Crank Disconnect speed is reached the
Engine Running LED will turn on. The engine
will also run at full governed speed while in
operation. If the engine speed exceeds the
Overspeed setpoint, the EA150 will initiate an
engine shutdown and Overspeed LED will turn
on. The engine will be locked out from any fur-
ther start attempts.
If a low oil pressure or high temperature condi-
tion occurs while the engine is running, the
EA150 will shutdown the engine and the
appropriate LED will turn on. The engine will
be locked out from any further start attempts.
NOTE: The Shutdown Lockout Delay must
have expired to get a shutdown on low oil pres-
sure and high temperature.
Operation Sequence with Panel in Test
When the selector switch is placed in the TEST
position, an automatic start signal is simulated.
Therefore, the controller will operate the same
as it does in AUTO. However, it will continue
to run as long as there are no signals from mon-
itored conditions or until the selector switch is
moved to the AUTO or OFF positions. Keep in
mind, it will still shutdown the engine if a mon-
itored condition occurs such as low oil pressure
or high temperature.
