The EPN-110DN is furthermore provided with an offset
adjustment for change of the point where the control
loop starts and to which the unit returns after reset. Principle diagram
Both the output signal, the rate of change of this (the
integrating time) and the offset are set on potentiome-
ters on the front of the EPN-110DN.

Outputs/settings
The EPN-110DN is equipped with two LED indicators
on the front of the unit, which are lit when their input
(“▲” and “▼” respectively) has been activated.

To ensure that the EPN-110DN can be connected to all

common electronic speed governors and AVRs, the
analogue output of the EPN-110DN has been designed
as a current generator shunted by a 500  potentiome-
ter.
