Within this range, we have
a choice of 4 base units combined with a selection of 7 command modules. All the
base units have a built in SETUP/LEARN mode that allows the user to adjust the
major cruise parameters to optimise operation for that individual vehicle (Pulses
/ mile, reaction speed {x 40} and gain {x 40}). For a complete kit you will require
an appropriate base unit (which includes the actuator, wiring loom and fitting
kit) and a suitable command module (control unit). The latest actuator also requires
a ‘T Harness’ telephone 0800 279 0085 for further details) . The electronic
cruise units have a built-in diagnostic function enabling the installer to easily
detect and solve problems without any special equipment or lengthy
faultfinding. The
choice of base unit depends on the vehicle that it's being fitted on. All the
base units are made to a very high standard having waterproof AMP connections
for under bonnet situations.
AP300 Vacuum actuator: Ideal for
vast majority of vehicles, petrol or diesel. Smaller body easy to mount in engine
bay. Best value for money.
AP500 Electric actuator: NOW SUPERCEDED
BY THE AP550. Any vehicle, great for vehicles with limited pedal travel on electric
throttles or HGV's with no vacuum supply.
AP550 Electric actuator: Modified
AP500 with 4 stroke lengths and variable cable length. Universal kit for easier
fitting in awkward spaces. AP800
Electronic actuator: Especially designed for ‘Drive by Wire’
vehicles. This unit requires a command module plus a plug-in pedal interface ‘T
Harness’ which is vehicle specific. Saves time on fitting, no moving/wearing
parts. This range
has a choice of either vacuum or electric actuator (servo) to cater for any vehicle.
The system has a robust very sophisticated electronic control unit. This accepts
speed sensing from a variety of sources such as the ignition coil, ‘W’ connection
on the alternator, speedo or tacho drive, engine management unit or the drive
shaft (front or rear wheel drive). It has full independent adjustment of both
gain and initialisation rate settings. It also has a full built in self diagnostic
mode to enable the installer to check out the fitting prior to road testing. There
are a variety of command modules available ranging from a dashboard or central
console mounted CM7, the deluxe stalk
mounted CM25 and the CM19
(LH or RH fitting), gear stick mounted CMGK
or the steering wheel mounted infra-red
controlled CMIR. All
of these have the possibility of adding a multiple memory unit to hold three preselectable
speeds using the CM8. The Eagle Mechanical unit is a throttle-locking
device with a brake safety ‘off’ switch. This allows you to take your
foot off the throttle and relax for a very economic price. Ideal if you are on
a tight budget. It has no speed feedback so there is a bit more adjustment required
than on an electronic cruise control. |
