Governors America EDG5500 Manual

1

INTRODUCTION

GAC's EDG5500 digital governor is designed to regulate engine speed on diesel
and gaseous-fueled engines. The EDG system is a suitable replacement for any
mechanical governor system that needs flexibility, precision, or accurate control
of governed speed. The EDG is designed for industrial engine applications from
generator sets, and mechanical drives, to pumps or compressors.
Computer
With the use of GAC's Quikset Display, the EDG5500 requires no computer or
internet connection.
