1. הקדמה

The SmartGen EP4300/EP4301 Engine Controller is a sophisticated CAN instrument designed for the control and data display of engines, particularly electric-controlled models. It facilitates essential functions such as engine start/stop, speed control, data measurement, and alarm display. Featuring a color LCD display and powered by 32-bit microprocessor technology, it offers precise measurement of various parameters, value adjustment, and threshold setting. Its compact structure, simple wiring, and high reliability make it suitable for diverse engine automation systems. Parameters can be adjusted directly from the front panel or via USB/RS485 ports using a PC.
