POWERTRAIN
RPM GOVERNOR, ADJUSTABLE
Variable electronic
rpm governor
(adjustable idle
control)
Details and Technology
This electronic rpm governor maintains a constant rpm, e.g., for auxiliary belt drive operation. Under load
change, rpm may fluctuate by approximately +/– 50 rpm (depending on engine, load and rpm). The rpm
setting can be adjusted in programmable increments (default: 50 rpm) by pressing a rocker switch.
Benefits and Arguments
• Constant engine speed, variable settings
Necessary if a virtually constant rpm must be maintained in order to operate an auxiliary unit such as a
loading crane.
Remarks
Not suitable for operating 220-volt generators. If necessary, can also be parameterized to allow the
speed control stalk to be used for changing the rpm setting.
