The Muirhead® Engine Shutdown Controller (excess idle shutdown system) is designed to detect if the machine has idled for long periods and safely shuts off the machine.
It also protects diesel engines and turbo chargers against immediate shutdown damage. The system can turn off lights, air conditioning and other electrical components one minute before engine shut off occurs, thus avoiding flattening the vehicle’s battery.
The unit is capable of controlling the engine shutdown circuit and up to six auxiliary circuits before shutdown occurs.
