Description

Automatic Glow Plug Controller for Engines with a Glow Plug (Controller).

The main distinguishing feature of this glow plug controller is its fully automatic operating mode – it activates exactly when needed, without any user intervention. This mode allows turn on instantly when required and switch off immediately when no longer needed, which extends the service life of the glow plug. The controller supplies the plug with precisely the voltage required at any given moment, never allowing the plug to overheat.

The controller features open-circuit and short-circuit indication for the glow plug (red LED). Glow plug status monitoring is performed even when the driver is switched off. The controller indicates the current operating mode and voltage via a green LED.

Glow plug Controller is waterproof to IP67 standard. The controller and its wiring are resistant to fuels containing methanol and nitromethane. The controller is protected against short circuits, overload, overheating, and reverse supply voltage.
