Works With A Wide Range Of Diesel Engines.

Automatic engine speed control is offered on all J1939 ECC engines. This feature can adjust the engine speed to a set speed point or via MODBUS Communicaitons. All automatic throttling options come with adjustable engine warm up, cool down, and line fill timers.
This controller is suitable for use on the following engine brands: Caterpillar, Cummins, MTU, Detroit, Perkins, Deutz, Hatz, Scania, Kubota, Yanmar, JCB, Lister and various engines from Asia.

Telemetry Connection Via (Satellite/GSM/GPS).

The controllers telemetry capabilities ensure that you will always be connected to your asset via a smart phone, tablet or computer. You have the option of sending data to a 4G LTEnetwork or the option of a go-anywhere satellite network. Choose the right modem/data package to suit your budget. PLC, RTU or SCADA users can also connect to the K101 / K101-OE. The control panel has inbuilt data logging capabilities and captures all shutdown messages.

Multiple Engine Start/Stop Methods

Featuring both manual and automatic start modes, the K101 / K101-OE offers great flexibility of use at the touch of a button. In automatic mode, the K101 / K101-OE is able to start and stop your engine based on a number of triggers such as:Telemetry/PLC module, Web Modem and basic Text modem commands.
