Twin Disc, Incorporated Installation
Installation
General
This control module is designed to be mounted on top of the Twin Disc GP

Valve assemblies.
All customer wiring attaches to the EC050 module by connectors that are
supplied with the EC050 module. All connections must be made according to
the wiring schematic that is identified in this manual. Failure to follow the
installation procedures identified here can result in damage to the EC050 module
or other hardware.
Connector Kits
All necessary connectors and mounting hardware are included with the control
module. Additional connectors can be purchased separately from Twin Disc
as kit K1462 or K1521. K1462 is used for MGX Etroll and MGX Profile
modules. K1521 is used for MG Etroll and MG Profile modules.
Module Variations
The installation section defines all of the features of an EC050 module. However,
not all features apply to all EC050 module versions.
Temperature sensors are not used with MGX Etroll or MGX Profile modules.
The slip speed input, Troll switch input, and gear ratio measurement feature
are not used with MG Profile or MGX Profile modules
MG/MGX Etroll and Profile Control Module Operators Manual #1022756 13

Installation Twin Disc, Incorporated
Install the Module on GP Valve Body
Mount the EC050 module to the top section of the GP control valve. Install four
M6-1.0 capscrews with lockwashers, and torque them to 9.5 Nm (7 lb.-ft.).
Figure 1. Place the EC050 Module onto Valve and tighten screws
Install Speed Pickups
Engine speed and propeller speed sensors are available for all Twin Disc MGX
model marine transmissions. Twin Disc supplied speed sensors must be
installed in the transmission if they are not already there.
1. If a speed wheel is mounted between the transmission output flange

and the companion flange on the propeller shaft, the output speed sensor
can be mounted external to the transmission. If a speed sensor bracket
is not present, obtain a bracket and associated mounting hardware and
attach the bracket to the transmission. Thread the jam nut onto the sensor
followed by one flat washer. Thread the jam nut far enough down the
sensor such that when the sensor is inserted through the slot in the
bracket, the face of the bracket touches the speed wheel. With the
sensor protruding through the bracket, install a second flat washer onto
the sensor and thread the front nut onto the sensor. Screw the jam nut
toward the bracket until the face of the sensor is between 3.2 and 4.8
mm (1/8 and 3/16 inches) from the speed wheel. Tighten the front nut
against the bracket making sure the face of the sensor is centered on
the speed wheel. Tighten the front nut to 27 Nm (20 lb.-ft.).

If there is no external speed wheel, remove the plug in the propeller

speed pickup location. Rotate the propeller shaft so that the crown of a
gear tooth is centered in the hole. Using a screwdriver or similar type
instrument, gauge the distance from the outside of the transmission case
to the crown of the gear tooth. Using the distance gauged on the
screwdriver, set the jam nuts on the sensor such that they are three to
four turns farther from the face of the sensor than the distance from the
outside of the transmission case to the crown of the gear tooth. Screw
the sensor into the transmission housing until it contacts the crown of
the gear tooth using the position of the jam nuts as an indicator of distance
between the sensor and gear tooth. The face of the sensor must just
contact the gear tooth, but care must be taken not to tighten the sensor
against the gear as this could damage the sensor. It is important to use
the position of the jam nuts to gauge the distance from the face of the
sensor to the gear tooth. It is possible to feel that the sensor is touching
the gear tooth when it actually is not. After confirming that the face of the
sensor is touching the crown of the gear tooth, turn the sensor back out
TWO complete turns. Holding the sensor in position, tighten the jam
nuts against the transmission case to 27 Nm (20 lb.-ft.).
2. Remove the plug in the input speed pickup location. Rotate the
transmission input shaft so that the crown of a gear tooth is centered in
the hole. Using a screwdriver or similar type instrument, gauge the
distance from the outside of the transmission case to the crown of the
gear tooth. Using the distance gauged on the screwdriver, set the jam
nuts on the sensor such that they are three to four turns farther from the
face of the sensor than the distance from the outside of the transmission
case to the crown of the gear tooth. Screw the sensor into the
transmission housing until it contacts the crown of the gear tooth using
the position of the jam nuts as an indicator of distance between the
sensor and gear tooth. The face of the sensor must just contact the
gear tooth, but care must be taken not to tighten the sensor against the
gear as this could damage the sensor. It is important to use the position
of the jam nuts to gauge the distance from the face of the sensor to the
gear tooth. It is possible to feel that the sensor is touching the gear
tooth when it actually is not. After confirming that the face of the sensor
is touching the crown of the gear tooth, turn the sensor back out ONE
complete turn. Holding the sensor in position, tighten the jam nuts against
the transmission case to 27 Nm (20 lb.-ft.).

Wiring of Battery, Manual Override Switch, and Start Relay
The module is designed to operate from standard 12 VDC or 24 VDC marine

engine power systems.
Dedicated 16 AWG wires must be used to supply power from the engine power
distribution system to the module power connector. These wires are to be a
maximum of 15 meters in length. A 5 amp fuse or circuit breaker must be
located near the power distribution system in the positive supply line. This fuse
must not exceed the time/current characteristics of an ATO type fuse. These
wires must be terminated with the connector that is provided. Note that terminal
1 is the positive connection.
Ring terminals have been provided in the positive supply wire on the EC050
module, and on the wire to terminal 1 of the battery connector. These wires
must be connected to one of the Manual Override Switches on the GP Valve
Assembly.
Note: These are the only wires that should be connected

to this switch.
Note: The manual override switch is rated at 20 amps max.
Note: See the Manual Override Switch wiring schematic

below.
The customer supplied Start Relay coil must be wired into terminals 1 and 12
of the J1 connector as shown in this manual. The contacts must be wired to the
vessels start circuit through one of the Manual Override Switches on the GP
Valve Assembly.

to this switch.
Figure 2. Manual Override Switch wiring

Wiring of Speed Pickups
The connector ends on the Twin Disc speed pickup cables will mate with the
connectors on the control module. The cables should be of sufficient length
without modification.
Wiring of Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors for the MG Profile and MG Etroll modules must be ordered
separately from Twin Disc. They must be installed in the transmission as
identified on the transmission installation drawing. The temperature sensor
must be connected to the temperature sensor adapter harness on the control
module.
Wiring of Solenoid Inputs
The Solenoid A input must be connected to connector J1 with the positive side
to terminal 3, and the return to terminal 10. The Solenoid B input must be
connected to connector J1 with the positive side to terminal 2, and the return to
terminal 11.
The optically isolated inputs require a voltage potential difference of 10 VDC

minimum, and a 28 VDC maximum. The supply source must be capable of
delivering at least 10 mA.
Wiring of Not In Neutral Indicator (NIN)
The not in neutral relay contacts provide neutral status information to a

transmission control. The relay contacts are closed when the module is
commanding neutral, and open when the module is commanding gear. The
maximum current is 100 mA into a resistive load only. NIN must be wired to
terminals 4 and 9 as shown below.
Figure 3. Not in Neutral wiring

to this relay.
Install Customer Supplied Troll Switch
A customer supplied Troll switch must be wired into terminal 8 of connector J1.
Terminal 5 is the power return line for the Troll switch signal. The Troll switch
input is not polarity dependent. The Troll switch and return line must be connected
in one of the four ways shown below.
Note: The Troll switch may be wired to the Mode 1 input or to

the Mode 1 return as shown.
Figure 4. Troll Wiring
Ignition Wiring
Terminal 6 of J1 must be connected to the battery positive (+) through the ignition
switch. Terminal 7 must remain open. Install the cavity plug seals that are
provided in any open locations in connector P1 before connecting it to J1.

Operation with Troll Switch
The various combinations of the Troll switch result in operation modes as shown
in the figure below.

Installation of Customer Supplied Slip Speed Signal Device
There are three different arrangements for controlling the slip speed with this
control. Determine the arrangement that is being used for this installation, and
proceed as identified below.
Installation of Customer Supplied Slip Speed Voltage Input Potentiometer
A customer supplied slip speed voltage input potentiometer (500 to 2000 ohms)
must be connected across terminal 1 and 12 of connector J2. The wiper from
this potentiometer must be connected to terminal 10 of connector J2.
Figure 6. Slip Speed Potentiometer

Installation of Customer Supplied Slip Speed Voltage Signal
A customer supplied slip speed voltage signal must be connected to terminal

10, and the signal reference must be connected to terminal 12 of connector J2.
Figure 7. Slip Speed Voltage
Installation of Customer Supplied Slip Speed Current Signal
A customer supplied slip speed current input signal (4 to 20 mA) must be

connected to connector J2 with the positive side to terminal 4, and the return to
terminal 9.
Figure 8. Slip Speed Current

Measurement of Gear Ratio
A factory default gear ratio is programmed into the EC050 module. The actual
transmission ratio must be learned by the module after it is installed in the
vessel. After the installation is completed, the transmission must be shifted
into gear in Cruise mode, while the engine is at idle, and maintained for at least
9 seconds to allow the proper gear ratio to be learned by the control. This gear
ratio is stored in the controls memory.
Note: Failure to calibrate the gear ratio may result in poor

Troll performance.

NOTES

Twin Disc, Incorporated Operation
Operation
General
The EC050 Module is used to command the transmission to neutral, forward,

and reverse while in the Cruise and Troll modes of operation. The control
continuously monitors various input signals, and controls the transmission
electrical valves accordingly. The control contains three LEDs to advise the
operator of control status.
The control continuously monitors several inputs, and updates transmission

control signals to optimize vessel operation.
While in Cruise mode, both the power LED and the energized solenoid LED
will display green.
While in Troll mode, the power LED will display green, and the energized
solenoid LED will display red.
The three LEDs are also used to provide fault message information during
operation. See the Troubleshooting section of this manual for more information
on the significance of these LEDs.

Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated
Modes of Operation
Entrance into Cruise or Troll mode is based on the status of the Troll switch
input, transmission engine speed, transmission propeller shaft speed,
transmission gear ratio, set point command signal, and direction inputs.
Cruise Mode
An electrical signal will be supplied to the transmission valve using a predefined

profile of current versus time. This results in a pressure rate of rise profile for
optimum feel while avoiding transmission damage due to excessive energy
levels. The transmission clutch will be fully engaged when operating in this
mode.
Cruise mode will be entered from neutral whenever the Troll switch is open,
and a shift is commanded by the operator. This mode will also be entered from
Troll mode if an engine over-speed, over-acceleration, or loss of engine speed
signal has been detected.
The profile of current versus time is predefined based on the EC050 part
number. The initial fill level for entering Cruise mode is factory set. The MG
Profile and MGX Profile modules can be field adjusted, if necessary, by qualified
technicians with the proper equipment. The MG Etroll and MGX Etroll cannot
be field adjusted. Some fault conditions will result in faster pressure rise for
transmission protection.
Note: There are no inhibits restricting entry into Cruise

mode. Operators should only enter Cruise mode at
safe engine speed as defined in the transmissions
Operators manual.

Twin Disc, Incorporated Operation
Troll Mode - MG Etroll and MGX Etroll Modules Only
Troll mode allows a propeller shaft speed slower than Cruise mode by controlling
the slip of the forward or reverse clutch. The propeller speed will be controlled
by the set point command signal. This signal can be provided from a
potentiometer, voltage signal, or current signal, depending on the installation.
The control learns the type of signal that is provided upon power up.
The EC050 module supports two types of Troll mode. Closed loop Troll is the
default Troll type. In the event of a propeller speed sensor failure, open loop
Troll is the effective Troll type. Closed loop Troll holds the commanded propeller
speed by measuring the speed and making adjustments to the valve coil current
to compensate for variations in engine speed, propeller loading, and
transmission oil temperature. If the propeller speed signal is missing or too
low to be measured by the control, open loop Troll will maintain a set pressure
level, and propeller speed could vary. The control will automatically return to
closed loop Troll if the propeller speed signal returns at a satisfactory level.
Troll mode operation is allowed over an engine speed range which is safe for
the particular transmission and is part number dependent.
The initial level when entering Troll mode from Neutral is factory set, and can be
field adjusted, if necessary, by qualified technicians with the proper equipment.
Note: Measurement of gear ratio must be performed prior

to initial Troll mode operation.

Troubleshooting Procedure
Symptom: Cruise mode does not work
Possible remedies:
Check for Fault Codes

If Power LED (center) Red, low battery voltage detected. Correct low battery
voltage.
If Power LED (center) alternately flashes Green to Yellow, a start-up fault has been
detected (forward or reverse direction selected when control is initially powered OR
low battery voltage detected while in gear and battery voltage returns to normal).
Remove power from both Solenoid A & B inputs (select neutral; fault clears
automatically). Check and correct low battery voltage if problem persists with
repeated transitions from neutral to gear.
If Power LED (center) Green and Solenoid LED A or B constant Red, an internal
program data error has been detected. Re-power module. If the fault does not
clear, replace the control.
If Solenoid LED A or B flash Red, a coil open / short is detected. Inspect coil
contacts, wiring harness, and connector contacts. Ensure all connector contacts are
clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc). Measure coil resistance (~ 7-10 ohms).
If Solenoid LED A & B simultaneously flash Red, both forward and reverse
directions are simultaneously selected and neutral to gear transition is inhibited.
Check Solenoid A & B input and return wiring.
All other LED flashing will not affect Cruise mode operation.

Check for Power (center) LED not illuminated
No Power to Control
o Check fuse integrity. Replace blown fuse.
o Check Module Power and Module Ground wiring. Inspect wiring harness
and connector contacts. Ensure connector contacts are fully seated and
clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc).
o Check the transmission manual override switch (module not powered if in
override)
o Ignition switch input not active (> 8.0 Volts)
Ignition Switch Open

o Check Ignition switch wiring. Ensure Ignition return (J1 P7) is not connected.
Inspect wiring harness and connector contact. Ensure connector contact is
fully seated and clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc).
Check Solenoid LEDs A & B (Green = Cruise)

If Solenoid LED A or B Red or Yellow while in gear, Troll mode operation has been
requested. Check Troll switch wiring (switch open for Cruise mode).
Check transmission manual for possible non-control related

problems

Symptom: Unable to transition from Cruise mode to Troll Mode
Possible remedies:
If Solenoid LED A and B alternately flash Red, the engine speed signal has not been
detected. Inspect engine speed sensor wiring harness and connector contacts.
Ensure all connector contacts are fully seated and clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion,
etc). Check engine speed sensor air gap (0.5 to 1.0 turn). With the engine running,
examine the signal from the sensor (1.0 V pk-pk minimum signal amplitude; greater
than zero frequency). Measure the resistance of the sensor (approximately 913
ohms).
If Solenoid LED A and B alternately flash Green while not in neutral, the propeller
speed signal has not been detected. Inspect propeller sensor wiring harness and
connector contacts. Ensure all connector contacts are fully seated and clean (no
paint, dirt, corrosion, etc). Check the speed sensor air gap (1.0 to 3.0 turns).
Measure the resistance of the sensor (contacts C B approximately 4600 ohms; A
B and A C neither open nor short). The transmission output sensor is a powered
sensor and will not operate if disconnected from the control. With the sensor
connected to the powered control, the voltage across contacts C - B will vary
between two distinct levels of 0.7 and 3.0 V as a tooth passes the pickup (square
wave output; 0.1 V). With the sensor connected to the powered control, the
voltage across contacts A - B will be 4.8 V ( 0.1 V).
If Solenoid LED A and B simultaneously flash Yellow, a slip speed command fault
has been detected (voltage and current active together OR signal out of range).
Inspect slip speed wiring harness and connector contacts. Ensure all connector
contacts are fully seated and clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc). Ensure only one
slip speed command type is active when the module is powered. Ensure the signal
being used is within the specified range (see installation drawing for signal limits).
If Solenoid LED A and B alternately flash Yellow, an engine speed has been
detected greater than the allowed speed (inhibit speed reached and coil current not
at maximum). Correct high engine speed signal. Fault automatically clears when
the engine speed signal falls below the re-enable frequency. Inhibit frequency and
re-enable frequency are P/N specific.

Check Gear Frequency Ratio Calibration

Enter Cruise mode with zero faults for a minimum of 20 seconds (modules learn
frequency ratio when transmission fully engaged).
Check Troll Switch

Check Troll switch wiring. The Troll switch shall be closed/active when Troll mode
has been requested.

problems

Symptom: Troll mode does not work
Possible remedies:

If Power LED (center) Red, low battery voltage detected. Correct low battery
voltage.
If Power LED (center) alternately flashes Green to Yellow, a start-up fault has been
detected (forward or reverse direction selected when control is initially powered OR
low battery voltage detected while in gear and battery voltage returns to normal).
Remove power from both Solenoid A & B inputs (select neutral; fault clears
automatically). Check and correct low battery voltage if problem persists with
repeated transitions from neutral to gear.
If Power LED (center) Green and Solenoid LED A or B constant Red, an internal
program data error has been detected. Re-power module. If the fault does not
clear, replace the control.
If Solenoid LED A or B flash Red, a coil open / short detected. Inspect coil
contacts, connector contacts, and wiring. Ensure all connector contacts are clean
(no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc). Measure coil resistance (~ 7-10 ohms).
If Solenoid LED A & B simultaneously flash Red, both forward and reverse
directions simultaneously selected (neutral to gear transition inhibited). Check
Solenoid A & B inputs and return wiring.
If Solenoid LED A and B alternately flash Red, the engine speed signal has not been
detected. Inspect engine speed sensor wiring harness and connector contacts.
Ensure all connector contacts are fully seated and clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion,
etc). Check engine speed sensor air gap (0.5 to 1.0 turn). With the engine running,
examine the signal from the sensor (1.0 V pk-pk minimum signal amplitude; greater
than zero frequency). Measure the resistance of the sensor (approximately 913
ohms).
speed signal has not been detected. Inspect propeller sensor wiring harness and
connector contacts. Ensure all connector contacts are fully seated and clean (no
paint, dirt, corrosion, etc). Check the speed sensor air gap (1.0 to 3.0 turns).
Measure the resistance of the sensor (contacts C B approximately 4600 ohms; A
B and A C neither open nor short). The transmission output sensor is a powered
sensor and will not operate if disconnected from the control. With the sensor
connected to the powered control, the voltage across contacts C - B will vary
between two distinct levels of 0.7 and 3.0 V as a tooth passes the pickup (square
wave output; 0.1 V). With the sensor connected to the powered control, the
voltage across contacts A - B will be 4.8 V ( 0.1 V).

If Solenoid LED A and B simultaneously flash Yellow, a slip speed command fault
has been detected (voltage and current active together OR signal out of range).
Inspect slip speed wiring harness and connector contacts. Ensure all connector
contacts are fully seated and clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc). Ensure only one
slip speed command type is active when the module is powered. Ensure the signal
being used is within the specified range (see installation drawing for signal limits).
If Solenoid LED A and B alternately flash Yellow, an engine speed has been
detected greater than the allowed speed (inhibit speed reached and coil current not
at maximum). Correct high engine speed signal. Fault automatically clears when
the engine speed signal falls below the re-enable frequency. Inhibit frequency and
re-enable frequency are P/N specific.
Check for Power (center) LED not illuminated
No Power to Control
o Check fuse integrity. Replace blown fuse.
o Check Module Power and Module Ground wiring. Inspect wiring harness,
and contacts. Ensure contacts are fully seated and clean (no paint, etc).
o Check the transmission manual override switch (module not powered if in
override)
o Ignition switch input not active (> 8.0 volts)
Ignition Switch Open

o Check Ignition switch wiring. Ensure Ignition return (J1 P7) is not connected.
Inspect wiring harness, and connector contact. Ensure connector contact is
fully seated and clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc).
Check Solenoid LEDs A & B (Red = Troll)

If Solenoid LED A or B are Green or Yellow while in gear, Cruise mode operation
has been requested. Check Troll switch wiring (Troll switch closed/active for Troll
mode).

problems

Symptom: Trolling has incorrect speed range
Possible remedies:
Check Gear Frequency Ratio Calibration

Enter Cruise mode with zero faults for a minimum of 20 seconds (modules learns
frequency ratio when transmission fully engaged).

problems
Symptom: Trolling mode entered, but propeller speed does not respond
to slip speed command (No LED fault codes)
Possible remedies:
Check Slip Speed Signal

Inspect slip speed wiring connections. Measure slip speed signal (verify signal
levels; proper signal levels are indicated on installation drawing). Measure coil
current (verify current flowing through coil and responding to slip speed signal). Troll
mode is not available when engine speed is missing.

problems

Symptom: Propeller speed not maintained while in Troll mode
Possible remedies:
Check Propeller Speed Sensor

speed signal has not been detected and the control is operating in open loop Troll.
Inspect propeller speed sensor wiring harness and connector contacts. Ensure all
connector contacts are fully seated and clean (no paint, dirt, corrosion, etc). Check
the speed sensor air gap (1.0 to 3.0 turns). Measure the resistance of the sensor
(contacts C B approximately 4600 ohms; A B and A C neither open nor short).
The propeller speed sensor is a powered sensor and will not operate if
disconnected from the control. With the sensor connected to the powered control,
the voltage across contacts C - B will vary between two distinct levels of 0.7 and 3.0
V as a tooth passes the pickup (square wave output; 0.1 V). With the sensor
connected to the powered control, the voltage across contacts A - B will be 4.8 V (
0.1 V).
