Rugged, Inexpensive Industrial or Marine Engine Control Panel – Loaded with features!
Model 565 Engine Control Panel
Model 565 Engine Control Panel with Key Start/Stop, Alarm Lights, Gauges plus the built-in protection of our highly acclaimed Engine Saver.
The Model 565 provides a complete rugged easy to use Engine Gauge, Monitor, and Alarm Package ideally suited for primary operator instrumentation and controls in a cab or bridge. Features include a key-operated Start-Stop, a full set of pressure and temperature gauges (which include EGT/Aftercooler temp, combined with the proven protection of the Engine Saver®.)
All gauges are lit by a separate on-off switch for nighttime operation. The Model 565 also features a Remote/Local switch which allows the Engine to be operated from the Model 565 itself, or from another remote location (such as a control room, maintenance room (as in building Standby power), or a vessel's fly bridge). Custom gauge configurations are available.
See What the Engine Saver has Done:
Finsch Mine – Komatsu 680 Dump Truck powered by Cummins KT 1710 engine. The Engine Saver shut down on low oil pressure. Found blocked oil filter and diesel fuel in engine oil. Read more...
The Engine Saver® monitors a combination of pressure, temperature and RPM on 8, 12 and 16 cylinder diesel or gas engines, and detects the early signs of trouble before damage occurs - long before an attentive operator could detect it on the gauges - and without false alarms. Most common faults go undetected until they cause consequential damage or engine destruction.
