EEC4 Installation Manual A word about the Symbols used in the Manual When driving from one destination to another, road signs prove to be invaluable. Road signs are an important source of information. For example, road signs can warn you about potential problems ahead to help divert certain disaster or they can let you know where to turn off for a rest or a meal.
Terminating Resistor 1.1 Pre-Installation Planning Before beginning the installation of the Glendinning EEC4 System, it is very important that some thought be given to the overall installation. The following should be considered: — Control Processor location — Power / Battery supply...

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. If the EEC4 system is only connected to a single battery power source, intermit- tent drops in battery voltage — perhaps during engine start — can cause intermittent failures of the EEC4 system. NOTE: Vessels battery Ensure that the power supply to the control system ground must be connected together.

Station Communications Cable — CANbus Network Design The EEC4 system utilizes a CANbus digital communications system to link the components in the con- trol system — Control Processor (CP) and Control Heads (CH). There are various ways in which the Station Communications cable can be connected depending on the application.

EEC4 Installation Manual Single Station Layout Single cable connects control head to control processor. Terminating resistor installed at open communications port at control head. Terminating resistor installed at open communications port at control processor. The Dual Station Layout illustrates how both control stations are connected to the control processor by separate cables.
1.2 Mount the Control Processor EEC4 Control Processor Follow these steps to install the EEC4 Control Processor: STEP 1: The Control Processor can be mounted anywhere in the engine room providing that the Processor is reasonably accessible mounting points...
Station ID (multiple station applications) A total of six (6) control stations may be added to the EEC4 system. In a multi-station control system, all of the control handles are identical from a hardware point of view. However, there is a software con- figuration that must be completed to designate the “Station Identifier (ID) for each station.
Section 1.0 — Installing the EEC4 1.4 Station Communication Cable Installation Install the Station Communication cables between the Control Processor and Control Head(s) as pre- viously discussed in Section 3.1. Station communication cables are available in 20, 30, 40. or 60 foot lengths.

Battery negative terminals should be connected to Bonding system also. Negative Lead—Negative wire from EEC4 system is connected to single battery negative. Positive Leads—Power should be connected from Battery positive terminal or disconnect switch (battery side of switch) to CP via 10 amp fuse / circuit breaker.

EEC4 Installation Manual Operational Checks A. General Functions Turn ON System by turning ON one of the engine ignition switches. The Control Head ACTIVE light and the Neutral gear indicating lights should immediately illuminate. — If the Control Head lights DO NOT come on immediately, but all the lights flash after about 20 sec- onds, the system is in alarm mode and the problem is most likely due to a network communications problem.

Section 2.0 — Appendix / Reference 2.3 Control Head Configuration In order for each Control Head to communicate with the Control Processor, each Control Head must have a unique Handle Identifier. If you purchased a complete system, configuration and handle identification was performed by the factory. If you purchased a control head separately, you will NEED to set the handle identifier for that control station.
