Positioning and Spacing

Each lever, of both single lever and dual lever Control Heads, controls gear
selection and throttle for one engine/gear set. The Station Select button on
the Control Head takes command at a specific location. When the boat is
equipped with Single Lever Sync configured controls, the outboard levers
(port most or starboard most) control two or more engine/transmission sets.
The red (Analog control head) or green (digital control head) Station Select
LED next to the Station Select button verifies that the Control Head is active
when continuously illuminated. When the Station Select LED is off, the Control
Head is not active.

The Mode Select switch on the Control Head selects up to three engine cruise
speeds, up to three trolling speeds, and/or optional Engine Synchronization,
or Express Modes. The LEDs indicate as follows:

The yellow (analog control head) or green (digital control head) neutral
LED(s) provide for transmission status indication as follows:

•• Constantly lit when the Transmission is in Neutral.

•• Flashes when the Controller is in the Direction Disable mode during

engine warm-up. See “Engine Warm-up while using Direction
Disable Mode” on page 27.

8 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Red (Analog control head) or green (digital control head) LED:

•• Digital Control Head: Blinks an error (flash) code when an error

has been detected.

•• Analog Control Head: Blinks when the Control no longer engages

the transmission (Controller Neutral).

If an alarm condition occurs and an audible alarm is connected and

configured, the alarm will sound. The alarm remain on until the active
station’s Station Select button is pressed.

Digital Stainless Lever Calibration

The standard Digital Stainless Levers are pre-calibrated at the factory.

This procedure only needs to be used if the lever reports calibration
faults or if the calibration does not appear to be correct (i.e. the system
does not go to gear at the detents or they cannot reach 100% when the
levers are at the stops). Digital Stainless Side Mount Levers MUST be
calibrated after installation.

Both the port and starboard levers can be calibrated at the same time.

When the optional display is installed the calibration instructions are

displayed on its screen. When Calibration mode is entered, the Display
presents the proper lever movements, followed by STATION SAVED
when the task is accepted by the Controller.

1. Turn off the engines if not already off.

2. Press and hold the Station Select button for at least 20 seconds to
enter Digital Stainless Lever Calibration mode. When Calibration mode
is entered, the Active station LEDs rapidly flash between Green and

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 11

Taking Command at a Station

When the neutral interlock switch is properly connected, the operator must
take command with a Control Head, and the levers must be at neutral, before
the engine(s) can be started.

On some vessels, a neutral interlock switch is not part of the starting system
and the engine(s) can be started without first selecting a control station.
In these applications, when the engine(s) have just been started, and the
Controls powered, the Transmission System is in the neutral operating
condition. The Control Head levers should be placed in the neutral position
prior to taking command.

It is good practice to always select the operating mode, to be used

after taking command, prior to pressing the Station Select button. With
digital Control Heads, pressing the desired operating ode button also
selects the Control Station.

Press the Station Select button (analog Control Heads) or operating mode
button (digital Control Head) to take command at that Station.

12 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Lever Function in Cruise Mode

Selecting Forward (Ahead)

Move the lever toward the bow of the boat to the forward detent position in
order to select the forward vessel direction. At this position, the transmission
shifts into the forward gear. The remaining lever travel after the forward detent
position controls the engine throttle.

Selecting Reverse (Astern)

Move the lever toward the stern of the boat to the reverse detent position in
order to select the reverse vessel direction. At this position, the transmission
shifts into the reverse or reverse gear. The remaining lever travel after the
reverse detent position controls the engine throttle.

Direction Reversal

Reversals of direction can be made at any time. An automatic timed sequence

forces the throttle to idle while the vessel slows before engaging the clutch
for the opposite direction. This is followed by the return of the engine throttle
to the position called for by the lever.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 13

Lever Function in Express Mode

This mode allows the operator to achieve very low vessel speed by means of
a controlled slipping clutch when the lever is placed in the forward detent or
reverse detent position. Slight vessel speed variation at the detent position
is normal in Express Mode. In Express Mode, the propeller speed increases
as the lever is advanced, until the lever reaches a point where the clutch is
fully engaged and then engine speed increases as lever position increases.

Setting the Vessel Speed at Detent

The vessel speed at the forward detent position is configured by the operator
placing both the Port and Starboard lever in the forward detent position,
while in Express Mode, and then holding the Station Select button pressed
for more than two seconds. This puts the Control in the Set Detent Speed
mode, and the button can be released.

Advance the levers until the desired steady vessel speed is achieved, and
press the Station Select button twice within three seconds. Return the levers
to the neutral detent position. The propeller speed at the forward detent
position is now updated for both the port and starboard controls and setting
the speed at detent is now complete.

If the optional display is present, it prompts the user during this process.

14 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Lever Function in Troll Mode

This mode allows the operation of the vessel at low speed by means of a
controlled slipping clutch with the engine speed fixed, and the lever controlling
only the propeller speed.

Setting the Vessel Speed at Detent

The vessel speed at the forward detent position is configured by the operator
placing the port and starboard levers in the forward detent position, while
in troll mode, and then pressing the Station Select button for at least two
seconds. This puts the Control in the Set Detent Speed mode, and the button
can be released.

The yellow or green neutral LED flashes at a rate proportional to propeller

speed. The operator then slowly advances the port lever until the desired
vessel speed is achieved. At this time, the operator presses the Station Select
button twice within three seconds. Return the levers to the neutral detent
position. The propeller speed at the forward detent position is now updated
for both the port and starboard controls and setting the speed at detent is
now complete.

When the optional display is present, it prompts the user during this
process.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 15

Lever Function in Single Lever Sync

The Single Lever Sync feature allows multiple engine vessels to be operated
from the designated Master Lever at the active Control Station, in the forward
direction only. The designated master lever is determined at the time of
configuration or may be selected by a Master Lever switch if so configured
and equipped.

This feature is only active when the Operating mode is Express Sync or
Cruise Sync.

When the Single Lever Sync is active, all Controls in the system receive their
lever position commands from the designated master lever. All transmissions
on the vessel are in the forward gear, all Controls are operating in the same
mode, and all engines are operating at the same throttle setting. When the
Single Lever Sync feature cannot be engaged, all controls continue to use
their own lever and commands.

The Single Lever Sync feature is cancelled when any lever at the active
Control Station is moved out of the forward direction.

When the Single Lever Sync feature is cancelled, for any reason, each
Control reverts to receiving throttle commands from its own lever. When
the position of the designated lever is significantly different from the
position of the control’s own lever, a change is made in vessel speed.

16 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Mode Select Switch

The operations that can be controlled by the Mode Select switch depend on
the type of Control Heads that are installed on the boat. Control Heads are
available with a variety of function combinations. The following figures show
the labels from several different Control Head configurations, some of which
may be available in both single lever and dual lever Control Heads.

Figure 8. Analog Control Head Labels

The Mode Select switch can be used to select any of the following, depending
on the Control Head type that is installed.

Cruise mode, and up to three preset engine speeds while in the cruise
mode.

To change mode from cruise 1 (C1) to C2 or C3 - the lever must be in

the forward detent position, the neutral detent position, or the reverse
detent position.
Engine Synchronization while in the cruise mode.

Troll mode, and up to two preset engine speeds while in the troll mode.

Express mode.

Engine Synchronization while in the express mode.

Depending on applicable codes and standards, Instant Station Transfer

may not be allowed.

When a Station Select button is pressed at a Control Head other than

the active Control Head, the Controller responds to the lever positions
at the newly activated Control Head. Unexpected vessel speed and
direction changes can occur when the lever positions are not in the
desired positions prior to taking command at a new Control Station.

1. Select the desired mode at the new target Control Head.

With analog Control Heads, the mode does not change on Station
Transfer unless the lever(s) are at a detent position.

2. Place the levers in the desired position at the target Control Head.

3. Take command at the target Control Head by pressing the Station

Select button.

4. Observe that the red Station Select LED next to the Station Select
button illuminates.

5. Make other control selections as desired.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 21

Neutral Station Transfer

In this configuration, station transfers are only allowed when the Station Select
button on the target Control Head is pressed and the lever(s) on the active
Control Head and target Control Head are in the neutral detent position.

When the Station Select button on the target Control Head is pressed, and
the lever(s) are not in the neutral detent position, the neutral LEDs flash on
both the active Control Head and the target Control Head.

When the lever(s) on the target Control Head are moved to the neutral detent
position, the neutral LEDs stop flashing and the target Control Head becomes
the active Control Head.

When the target Control Head lever(s) are not moved to the neutral detent
position within 30 seconds of the request, the station transfer request shall
be cancelled and the neutral LEDs stops flashing.

There is an option for Emergency Station Transfer that must be enabled

during system configuration. See “Emergency Transfer (Double button
press)” on page 25.

22 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Lever Match Station Transfer

This type of station transfer is designed to satisfy certain American Bureau

of Shipping (ABS) specification requirements.

In this configuration, station transfers are only allowed when the levers on the
target and active Control Heads are in matching positions. When the Station
Select button on the target Control Head is pressed, and the lever(s) on the
target Control Head are mismatched from those on the active Control Head,
the neutral LEDs on both the active Control Head and the target Control Head
flash. The greater the mismatch, the slower the LED flash rate becomes.

As the lever(s) on the target Control Head are moved closer to the position of
the lever(s) on the Active Control Head, the LED flash rate increases. When
the levers are matched, the target Control Head is automatically made active
and the Active Control Head made inactive.

The station transfer request is cancelled and the neutral LEDs stop flashing
when:

A mismatch condition exists

The lever(s) on the Active Control Head are moved

30 seconds pass without moving the lever(s) on the target Control

Head

There is an option for Emergency Station Transfer that must be enabled

during system configuration. See “Emergency Transfer (Double button
press)” on page 25.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 23

Lever Match with Acknowledge Station Transfer

This type of station transfer satisfies certain ABS specification requirements.

In this configuration, station transfers are only allowed when the levers on
the target and active Control Station are in matching positions and when the
station transfer is acknowledged by the active Control Head.

To initiate a station transfer, a Station Select button on a Control Head at

the target station must be pressed. The neutral LEDs at both the active and
target stations begin to flash. This notifies the active station that the target
station has requested a transfer.

To continue, a Station Select button on a Control Head at the active station

must be pressed. The Station Select LED is full on. This causes the neutral
LEDs on both stations to begin to flash, indicating to the target station that
the active station has acknowledged the transfer request.

When the lever(s) at the active station and the target station are not matched,
the neutral LEDs on both the active and the target stations flash. As the
lever(s) at the target station are moved closer to the position of the lever(s)
at the active station, the flash rate of the LEDs increases.

When the lever(s) at the target station match the position of the lever(s) at the
active station, the neutral LEDs at both stations flash rapidly. This indicates
that the lever(s) at both stations are matched and the transfer may continue.

The transfer is completed when the Station Select button on a Control Head
at the target Control Station is pressed. The button press is only recognized
when the lever(s) are matched.

When no activity is sensed at either station after a transfer has been initiated
for a period of ten seconds, the transfer sequence is canceled. Also, when
the acknowledge has been made and the lever(s) on the active control station
are moved, the transfer is canceled.

There is an option for Emergency Station Transfer that must be enabled

during system configuration. See “Emergency Transfer (Double button
press)” on page 25.

24 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Emergency Transfer (Double button press)

This transfer type must be enabled in the configuration via the MFST.
Emergency Transfer (Double button press) operates in tandem with the
selected normal station transfer type and allows a station transfer under
emergency conditions or when the active station or station harness is
damaged. When the station select button on the target station is pressed
twice within 500 ms, the system executes an instant transfer to the target
station without regard for the selected normal station transfer type.

Emergency Manual Mechanical Control

In the event of electrical or EC300 Control failure, see “Flash Codes” on page
31 for information about failure codes, and verify whether the vessel’s
transmissions have a manual gear select capability (come-home feature) in
addition to the electronic control.

In the event that the EC300 Control fails and the engine and or transmission
are controlled by push-pull cables, the push-pull cables are mechanically
and electrically free to move. The throttle, troll, or gear select lever may be
operated manually as required. When the servo actuator resists manual
control, unplug the connector at the servo actuator.

When the EC300 Control is partially functioning, and a Twin Disc Display is
present, the Neutral Start relay can be “forced on” in order to start the engine.
Refer to the Configuration and Troubleshooting Manual (1025568) for more
detailed information.

When the EC300 Control is not functioning, the engine can be started by
placing a jumper between the neutral start interlock pins 9 and 10 in the
cable connected to the EC300 Control’s Connector J5. This jumper should be
placed at the engine control if practical. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s
drawings and wiring diagrams.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 25

Individual Engine Operations

Engine Start

1. At the selected Control Station, place the lever(s) in the neutral detent
position.

2. Place the ignition switch for the desired engine in the On position as
required to activate the EC300 Control System.

3. Press and release the Station Select button on the Control Head.

The red Station Select LED for the desired engine must illuminate.

4. Verify that the red Station Select LED(s) next to the Station Select
button is/are illuminated. This indicates that the station is in command.

5. Start the engine with the ignition switch.

6. Warm the engine using the Mode Select switch in a higher Cruise
position, or Direction Disabling ,as required.

26 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Engine Warm-up while using Direction Disable Mode

The direction disable feature can be used any time that engine speed
above idle is required while keeping the transmission in neutral. The
engine speed can be varied from minimum to maximum.

1. Press and hold the Station Select button while moving the lever(s) in
either the forward or reverse direction.

2. Set the desired engine speed by positioning the lever(s).

3. When the engine is warm, return the lever(s) to the neutral detent
position.

When the lever is returned to the neutral detent position from the
Direction Disable mode, the Controller resets and normal operation
resumes. That is, the transmission shifts when the lever is moved in
the forward or in the reverse direction without pressing and holding
the Station Select button.

Engine Shutdown

1. At the selected Control Station, place the lever in the neutral detent
position.

2. Switch the ignition off to power down the EC300 Control System.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 27

Engine Synchronization

The port most engine is the master. All other engines are slaves.

When single lever sync is not selected in the configuration, synchronization

operation in the EC300 Control System has the following features and
characteristics:

Logically controlled to operate only when all active engines are in

Cruise Sync or Express Sync mode and forward direction.

Automatically turns on when all levers are moved in the forward

direction and all Mode Select Switches are in the Cruise Sync or
Express Sync position.

Automatically shuts off when any lever is moved out of the forward
direction.

“Authority” is limited to approximately 7 1/2 degrees of the slave’s

lever(s) position. A slave Control can add or subtract up to 7 1/2
degrees of lever travel from the engine throttle command received
from the master control.

Throttles can be used to maneuver the boat without turning

synchronization off. A slave’s engine speed starts to increase or
decrease (depending on the direction of travel) when the slave’s lever
has left the 7 1/2 degree synchronization window.

With the master engine stable, the slave engine(s) are normally
brought to match the master engine’s speed within 5 rpm in 5 to 10
seconds. The timing depends on the differences between engine
speeds prior to engaging synchronization.

Synchronization is deselected by moving the Mode Select switch out

of the Cruise Sync or the Express Sync position.

28 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Starting Engine Synchronization

Synchronization occurs when all active slave levers are within 7 1/2
degrees (approximately two finger widths) of the master lever.

1. Move all levers together while setting the master engine to the desired
operating speed.

2. Move the Mode Select switch to the Cruise Sync or Express Sync
position on all Control Heads.

The slave engine(s) increase or decrease speed to match the master

engine speed each time the master lever is moved provided each slave’s
lever is within 7 1/2 degrees of the master lever.

•• To slightly change speeds, move the master lever ensuring that

the 7 1/2 degree synchronization window is maintained.

•• To significantly change speeds, move all levers together ensuring

that the 7 1/2 degree synchronization window is maintained.

Ending Engine Synchronization

1. To end synchronization, do one of the following:

•• At the selected Control Station, deselect Sync mode.

•• Select the neutral detent position or Reverse detent position with

either lever.

•• Move either lever beyond the 7 1/2 degree limitation in position.

2. Observe that the starboard engine speed no longer follows the port
engine speed.

3. Control engine speeds independently using the appropriate levers.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 29

Single Lever Synchronization

The master engine is either the port most engine, or the starboard most
engine, determined by the configuration or by the use of a Sync Master
Select Switch.

When the starboard controller is configured as the master, on a vessel

with an odd number of engines greater than 1, then the Controller that
is established as the highest numbered Controller (during Setup and
Configuration) is the starboard master. The highest numbered controller
in this type of system cannot be attached to the starboard lever of a
dual lever control head.

Single Lever Synchronization operation in the EC300 Control System has

the following features and characteristics:

Logically controlled to operate only if all active engines are in Cruise

Sync or Express Sync mode and in the forward detent or more position.

Automatically turns on if all levers are moved in the forward direction

and all Mode Select Switches are in the Cruise Sync or Express Sync
position.

Automatically shuts off if any lever is moved out of the forward direction.

“Authority” is not limited as long as the slave levers remain in the

forward detent or more position.

When an error occurs that disables synchronization, the engines slowly

ramp to the actual lever position speeds.

30 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

Flash Codes
The EC300 Control provides a visual indication, LED flash codes, to the
operator when a fault condition exists. The fault conditions are classified as:

Serious faults: These faults generate a log entry complete with

parameter values associated with the fault (a snap shot).

Catastrophic faults: These faults generate a log entry only as writing

a complete snap shot is unlikely. These are internal controller and
power supply faults.

The optional display provides text messages about any fault conditions that
exist. The fault messages are displayed in a cyclical fashion with the main
display. This series of screens is repeated until the Control’s power is cycled,
at which point most faults are cleared, or the inhibit is cleared explicitly.
INHIBIT ACTIVE is displayed when a fault condition exists that inhibits
operation. Pressing both buttons while INHIBIT ACTIVE or a fault screen is
displayed provides additional information about the nature of the inhibit or
that fault, as applicable.

Depending on the installed control heads, the EC300 Control uses the
following LEDs:

Analog stations:

•• Station Active LED: Used for failure conditions that inhibits start and
invokes controller neutral. Failure codes are flashed whenever the
Control is turned on because the failure inhibits start and invokes
controller neutral by default.
•• Neutral LED: Used for failure conditions that do not inhibit start
nor invoke controller neutral. Failure codes are flashed only when
the active station’s lever is in neutral.

Digital stations:

•• Station Active LED: Used for all failure conditions. Failure codes
are flashed when a failure condition exists and the station is active.
•• Neutral LED: Used to indicate if marine gear is in Neutral or not
in Neutral.

Only the first fault to be written to the display will have its code flashed on
the appropriate LED. Subsequent faults will not be flashed via the LEDs.
When all fault conditions are cleared from the display the flashing diagnostic
code stops.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 31

Alarms

The Control turns on the Alarm Relay (J8 pins 7 and 8) after initialization
when enabled in the MFST. When disabled, the Alarm Relay is not used.
When enabled, the Alarm Relay indicates a fault condition when a fault is
logged. The alarm remain on until the active station’s Station Select button
is pressed.

See your system installation documentation to see how the Alarm Relay
is wired in your system.

The digital stainless control head has an optional audible alarm that is
connected at the station, If an alarm condition occurs and the station has
the optional audible alarm, the alarm will sound at the active station. The
alarm remains on until the active station’s Station Select button is pressed.

Diagnostics with Optional Display

Entering Diagnostics Mode with Legacy Display

Diagnostics Mode tests verify operation of the controller, the integrity and function of the
external circuits, and provide a means to energize clutches individually. They are also
helpful in troubleshooting the transmission. Sixteen separate tests can be individually
selected and performed via the display unit.

There are two ways to enter Diagnostics Mode:

From the Display module:

• Method 1: Simultaneously press the up and down arrow buttons

on the Display Unit while powering the controller by cycling the
key switch off and back on.
• Method 2: Power the controller, do not turn on the engine,
select no station, press and hold both display buttons for 30
seconds. Continue to hold the buttons while the display blanks
momentarily. Release the buttons when the Display Test starts.
Upon entering Diagnostics Mode, the display test is entered
automatically. 1 DISPLAY TEST is displayed and the following occurs:

• After two seconds, all display segments/pixels are displayed.

• After five seconds, the display begins alternating between
1 DSPLAY TEST (for one second), all segments/pixels (for one
second), and CHECKSUM XXXX, where XXXX represents the
firmware checksum.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 43

Entering Diagnostics Mode with Graphic Display

The steps to enter can change slightly depending on the Display Type that is Setup. For
this procedure the “Dual – Forward Facing” type display is being used. To enter Diagnostic
mode, use the following steps:

1. Turn the ignition on for the Control you wish to enter Diagnostic and
do NOT select a control station.

You can turn on the ignition and enter diagnostic mode for both controls
at the same time if desired. The figures in this procedure will show both
controls turned on.

2. On the main screen (with no control stations selected) select the button
corresponding to either Port or STBD Diagnostics. (See Figure 10).

44 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

For the Dual type displays, if Port diagnostic is selected and entered
into Diagnostic mode per step 3, the display will re-boot because the
main power for the display is supplied by the Port control. When the
display re-boots, it will reboot to the Main Screen and you will need to
select “Port Diagnostic” again to see the Diagnostic Test Screens. If
entering Diagnostics for the STBD control, the display will not re-boot
and you will remain on the Diagnostic screens.

For the Single type displays (Port or Starboard), when diagnostics is

selected and entered into Diagnostic mode per step 3, the display will
re-boot because the main power for the display is supplied individually
by the associated EC300 Control. When the display re-boots, it will
re-boot to the Main Screen and you will need to select the respective
“Diagnostic” button again to see the Diagnostic.

3. In the Port or STBD Diagnostic screen, you will see the screen flashing
back and forth between the Twin Disc Oval Logo and “SELECT
STATION,” push the button corresponding to the Select/Execute
( ) for approximately 6 seconds. For Dual Type display selecting
Port Diag or any Single Type display, continue to step 4. For Dual
Type display setting selecting STBD Diag, go to step 5.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 51

The EC300 Control checks power as follows:

Input at power up: During power up the EC300 Control checks

voltage on the main and the auxiliary power inputs. If either power
input is within the predefined acceptable voltage range, the controller
continues with the power up sequence. If both power inputs are not
within the acceptable voltage range, one of the following messages is
displayed in response to a double button press with the Legacy Display
or press to associated Diagnostics button with the Graphic Display:

• MAIN AUX HI LO
• MAIN AUX HI HI
• MAIN AUX LO HI
• MAIN AUX LO LO
Input during operation: After the power up sequence, the controller
continually monitors the power inputs. If both power inputs are not
within the acceptable voltage range for more than five seconds, the
controller logs the fault and the following message appears on the
display:

• MAIN HIGH
• MAIN LOW
• AUX HIGH
• AUX LOW
Internal during operation: The controller monitors its internal reference
voltage for out of tolerance conditions. When an out of tolerance
condition occurs, the controller logs the appropriate fault. The controller
must be replaced and the failed controller returned to Twin Disc.

52 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

SUPPLY VOLTAGE displays the voltage level supplied to the primary and auxiliary power
input pins on the controller. Note that connecting voltage to the auxiliary pins is optional.
The display shows P:XX.XXV A:YY.YYV, where XX.XX is the voltage on the primary power
input, and YY.YY is the voltage on the auxiliary power unit. Below 8 volts causes a blank
display, and above 50 volts, the display flashes 50.00 V.

For normal operation, the primary and auxiliary supply must both be
less than 32.0 VDC and greater than 10.1 VDC.

REFERENC VOLTAGE displays the measured reference voltage for the analog to digital
converter. If the reference voltage is not 2.50 V ±50 mV, the controller cannot reliably
measure any analog signal. The display shows REF X.XX V where X.XX is the reference
voltage.

• A2D REF HIGH

• A2D REF LOW
INTERNAL POWER is a scan test of the other internal power supply nodes, and reports
any nodes that measure outside of preset limits. Upon successful completion of this scan,
the display show TEST PASSED. If any voltages are out of range, the display shows the
voltage name and the word FAILED. The internal voltage names are: REF, VSUST, OVR
POW, and XITE. If the correct input voltage is being supplied to the EC300 Control and
one of these voltages has failed, the EC300 must be replaced.

EXIT TEST returns the controller to the main menu at the point where it was when the
test was entered.

Lever Calibration

Perform the calibration procedures located in the “System Operation” section in this manual
under Digital Lever Calibration or Analog Lever Calibration to calibrate a lever head. Lever
head calibration is typically performed at installation only. If the lever head goes out of
calibration, it is usually the result of another problem. Recalibrating can be performed as
part of a problem solution, but if the lever head drifts out of calibration again or cannot be
calibrated, the lever head should be replaced.

The engines must be off. If the controller senses any transmission input
speed or an input speed sensor fault, it will not enter calibration mode.

Maintenance

Setting Drag

Drag adjustment is performed at each lever. Proper adjustment is necessary

to ensure that the lever remains in the intended position without operator
assistance.

Analog Control Head: See “Setting Drag - Analog or Digital Control

Head”.

Digital Control Head: See “Setting Drag - Analog or Digital Control

Head”

Side Mount Control Head: See “Setting Drag - Side Mount Control
Head” on page 88

Setting Drag - Analog or Digital Control Head

1. Remove the control head from the cutout by loosening the set screw
in the rear, as shown in Figure 30 (A), until the control head can be
rotated to release it from the base plate front edge.

Figure 30. Control Head Removal

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 85

2. Insert an 1/8 in. hex key wrench into the opening for each lever and set
drag by accessing the drag adjustment screw as shown in Figure 31.

Figure 31. Drag Adjustment Screws

3. Tighten the drag adjustment screw(s) until the desired drag is obtained
over the full lever travel.

0.45 to 0.91 kg (1 to 2 lbs) average drag is normally desirable.

86 EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221

4. Tilt the control head as shown in A in Figure 32 and engage the groove
internal to the control head.

Figure 32. Control Head Installation

5. When engaged, tilt the control head until it is flat and contacts the
gasket as shown in B.
6. Ensure that the control head fully engages the base plate and then
tighten the two set screws until they securely contact the base plate
and the control head is held securely in position. Tighten them against
the base plate to 1.13 Nm (10 lb-in.) maximum.

EC300 Marine Control System® - Operation and Maintenance Manual #1024221 87

Setting Drag - Side Mount Control Head

1. Set drag by accessing the drag adjustment screw as shown

Figure 33. Drag Adjustment Screws for Side Mount Control Head
Assembly

2. Insert an 1/8 in. hex key wrench into the opening for each lever.

3. Tighten the drag adjustment screw(s) until the desired drag is obtained
over the full lever travel.

0.45 to 0.91 kg (1 to 2 lbs) average drag is normally desirable.

4. Connect, if required, and install the interface harness and secure/

strain relieve as necessary.

Stainless Steel Control Head Cleaning

Due to environmental conditions, the stainless steel may stain or show signs
of corrosion. When this happens, wipe clean with rag and clean water that
does not contain chlorine. If stains or corrosion persist, use a commercial
stainless steel cleaning product that does not contain chlorine.

Frequency of cleaning is based on environmental conditions and the location

of the control head.
