EC20400 -- GENERAL INFORMATION

APPLICATION:
Proportionally control the speed and direction of hydraulic motors and cylinders. The EC20400 was designed primarily to be paired with a single section Brand Series 36 EFC, but other flow controls meeting the appropriate specifications may be used as well

DESCRIPTION:
The EC20400 is a compact weatherproof joystick control built with high quality long life components that are designed for use in harsh environments. The control comes loaded with user friendly features that provide versatility without sacrificing ease of use.

EC20400 -- ADJUSTMENTS
Minimum output or zero setting Clockwise rotation increases minimum output
0 - 1.5 Amps
Maximum output Clockwise rotation increases maximum output
0.05 - 2 Amps
Maximum output will always be 50 mA greater then the minimum output
Ramping Down, or Fall Time Clockwise rotation increases ramp time
0.1 - 12 Seconds
Ramping Up, or Rise Time Clockwise rotation increases ramp time
0.1 - 12 Seconds

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES:

Adjustments are made by turning a trim pot screw. The trimmers are 25 turn, end to end devices. The trimmers have a built in slip clutches so over rotations do not damage them. It may be necessary to turn the adjustment screw several turns to observe a change in output. Start by adjusting the min output, and then adjust the max output to the desired level. The best way to fine tune adjustments is to observe the function response or speed. It is important to make adjustments in the following order.

1. Minimum output: Start by setting the master Potentiometer or input signal to zero. Turn the trimmer clockwise until the function begins to move. Now turn the trimmer back counter clockwise, one full rotation past the point of any visible movement.

2. Maximum output: Start by setting the master Potentiometer to the 100 position on the dial. Turn the trim pot counter clockwise to decrease function speed. Turn the trim pot clockwise to increase function speed. Function maximum speed will be limited to the max flow capabilities of your hydraulic system. Do not rotate the trim pot past the point of an observable increase in function speed.

3. Ramp up: This feature changes how quickly the valve can open. Clockwise turns increase the amount of delay. Counterclockwise turns decrease the amount of delay.

4. Ramp down: This Feature changes how quickly the valve can close. Clockwise turns increase the amount of delay. Counterclockwise turns decrease the amount of delay. Use discretion when making this adjustment, this will affect how quickly your function stops.
