PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the antistatic protective bag. To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.
Failure to properly install and operate the control system could result in possible personal injury or loss of life. This hardware manual describes the capabilities of the Woodward Digital Min/Max Flo-Tech™ control, model 8400-511, for Cummins Jade/Bravo engines. Application The Woodward Digital Min/Max Flo-Tech control (DMMF) permits efficient idle, fast-idle, and maximum engine-speed control of spark-ignited gas engines.
Ideally, the control should be mounted flush to the metal side of a control cabinet close to the engine. The location should provide protection from high-voltage or high-current devices, or devices which produce electromagnetic interference. Do not install the control box directly on the engine. Woodward...
Connectors The DMMF interfaces to the engine and vehicle systems through two 23-pin AMP connectors. The Woodward part numbers for these parts as well as the actuator connector part number(s) are located on the plant wiring diagram (Figure 1-5). The part numbers also list the pins required for the 23-pin DMMF connector.

50 mm (2 inches). The other end of the shields must be left open and insulated from any other conductor. DO NOT run shielded signal wires along with other wires carrying large currents. See Woodward application note 50532, Interference Control in Electronic Governing Systems, for more information.
The Flo-Tech 60 requires no actuators or linkage. The Flo-Tech 60 will accept an 8–32 Vdc (12/24 Vdc nominal) input power supply and a positioning command signal. The driver will produce an output signal to indicate throttle position. Woodward...
Digital Min/Max Flo-Tech Control Manual 04168 The Flo-Tech 60 is configured to work with a command signal of 0–5 Vdc. Woodward part numbers for the DMMF Flo-Tech are: • 8235-113—Jade • 8235-123—Bravo Return Spring The Flo-Tech actuator has an internal return spring designed to move the actuator toward minimum fuel in case the electronic control should fail.

Each set of dynamics provides different gain mapping, stability, compensation, gain ratio, and gain window settings. This allows precise engine control from low idle no load to max speed full load. Woodward...
Chapter 4. Service Options General The user of the Woodward Digital Min/Max Flo-Tech system should contact your Cummins distributor in the local area regarding repairs or returns. Your Cummins distributor handles repairs, replacements, and warranties, and handles sending the control through Cummins Engine Company to Woodward.
