1 Preface The M2500 - Engine Controller is designed for control and monitoring of marine engines. Together with the optional M2600 - Shutdown Unit the M2500 - Engine Controller forms a complete alarm, control and protective safety system for marine engines.
M2500 Installation Manual 2 Installation The M2500 is designed for flush mounting to the front panel of the switchboard. It is secured by 6 mounting brackets which are supplied with the M2500. The panel cut out dimension is 138mm x 210mm...

SELCO A/S M2500 Installation Manual 4 Inputs 4.1 Power Supply Redundant Power Supply (2x 24V DC, -30 % / +30 %) Alarm in case any power supply fails (common alarm + display text). Primary supply will not be monitored during cranking, as the battery voltage will drop during this process.
The local mode input is considered active when connected to COM, inactive when open. When active the M2500 will be in local mode. This means start and stop are only available from the push buttons on the front panel. The remote start and stop terminals are disabled. The LOCAL LED on the front panel will be lit.
LED will be lit continuously. If the engine does not start the M2500 will initiate a stop procedure and a Start Fail Alarm. The red ALARM LED on the front panel will be lit. The alarm text “START FAILURE” will be shown on the display.
Crank Disconnect signal the M2500 will deactivate the crank output after a start attempt. If the M2500 looses this signal without a stop procedure, the ALARM LED will be lit and a Tacho Fail Alarm will be displayed.
The magnetic pick-up is connected as follows: For use of magnetic pick-up the DIP switches 3 and 4 on the rear side of M2500 must be in OFF position. The DIP switches are placed between the RS485 and CAN connectors on the rear side of M2500.
The NPN pick-up is connected as follows: For use of PNP pick-up the DIP switch 3 on the rear side of M2500 must be in ON position, DIP switch 4 must be in OFF position. The DIP switches are placed between the RS485 and CAN connectors on the rear side of M2500.

SELCO A/S M2500 Installation Manual 4.4.2 Connection of a normally closed sensor without cable monitoring The following example shows the Connection of a normally closed sensor without cable monitoring. The sensor is considered active when open, inactive when connected to COM.
SELCO A/S M2500 Installation Manual 4.4.4 Connection of a normally closed sensor with cable monitoring The following example shows the connection of a normally closed sensor with cable monitoring. The sensor is considered active when open, inactive when connected to COM.
The analogue sensor inputs are for generating alarms and shutdowns. In case the input signal is below 3mA or above 25mA the M2500 will generate a sensor fail alarm. Cable Error LED will be lit. Delay times can be programmed for alarms and shutdowns.

M2500 will trip the C/B. The engine will continue running for the duration of the cool down time. After expiration of the cool down time the M2500 will stop the engine. The cool down time can be configured. Cool Down only applies to remote mode and only for normal stops.

5.2.3 Crank (terminal 42) Normally Open Relay output. This is the start output of the M2500. It activates for each start attempt and remains active until either the engine has fired or the crank time has expired or a stop command has been activated at the M2500.
SELCO A/S M2500 Installation Manual 5.3.1 Connection of alarm outputs Following example shows the connection of an external relay for signaling a shutdown to an external alarm system: 5.3.2 Common Alarm (terminal 46) Normally Open Relay output. This output becomes energized for each alarm and shutdown.

SELCO A/S M2500 Installation Manual 5.4.2 Digital Outputs Out 1 to Out 12 (terminals 51 to 62) Normally Open Relay output. These are programmable alarm and shutdown outputs. It is also possible to program these outputs to activate with any of the alarms generated from the analogue measurements.
This is especially important in case the stop solenoid is not activated directly by the M2500 output but by an intermediate relay, that typically requires a much lower current to activate than the stop solenoid.

This is especially important in case the fuel valve is not activated directly by the M2500 output but by an intermediate relay, that typically requires a much lower current to activate than the fuel valve.

In remote mode (terminal 5 connected to com) Start and stop is only available from the REMOTE START (terminal 08) and REMOTE STOP (terminal 09) terminals. Provided the engine is ready for remote start (Not Ready LED on the front panel of M2500 is off) the start procedure works as follows:...

The alarm monitoring is always active regardless of Local or remote mode. Note: Alarms are abnormal conditions that will be indicated and logged by the M2500, but they will not stop the engine. Alarms can be set to continuous monitoring (regardless if the engine is running or not) or conditional monitoring (only monitored if the engine is running).
The shutdown monitoring is always active regardless of Local or remote mode. Note: Shutdowns are abnormal conditions that will be indicated and logged by the M2500 and they will stop the engine. Shutdowns can be set to continuous monitoring (regardless if the engine is running or not) or conditional monitoring (only monitored if the engine is running).
