Replacing the ST-125™ Engine Control with an L-Series Speed Controller 8404-5003
Woodward’s L-Series Speed Controller can be used as a functional replacement for the ST-125™ Speed Control. The L-Series 8404-5003 speed control was designed with many new features and functions that are not built into the ST-125. The Woodward L-Series combines the L-Series electric actuator with integrated speed control software to control the speed of a diesel engine. The L-Series utilizes a microprocessor-based control that is incorporated into the actuator, creating a single, integrated package. This eliminates the need for an additional driver box and speed control box. Refer to Woodward manual 26250 for details on the L-Series additional features, operation, adjustment, and troubleshooting.
