TOUGHSeries

Autostart Controller
TG410
For engines or generators
The TOUGH series controllers are
designed to provide complete
control, protection and engine
instrumentation for both standard
and electronic CAN Bus engines,
as well as 3-phase volts/amps
metering for generator applications.
The module is easily configured
as either an engine controller or a
Compact 4.17” x 6.5” x 1.38” Footprint
generator controller using either
the front panel buttons or our PC
configurator software. TOUGH
series controllers are ideally suited
for severe duty applications where • Front panel trim feature for • Passcode protected
reliability is critical such as mobile sensor adjustment • Automatic shutdowns and warnings
and stationary engine equipment • Maintenance counter • Manual and remote start
• Exerciser Clock • Momentary start/stop inputs
and generators.
• 150 Event Log • Pre-heat and many configurable timers
• Conformally coated for protection • Accepts common senders
Displays (meets NFPA-110 Level 1): against moisture and contaminants (VDO, Datcon, Murphy, and more)
• Oil Pressure • Gasket for water ingress protection • Custom senders configurable with
• Engine Temperature • Free PC Configurator Software PC software
• Fuel Level • Fast and rugged installation clips • 5-Year Warranty
• Oil Level
• Hour Meter
• RPM
• Real time clock with time/date
• Battery Voltage
• J1939 DTC codes with custom text
• Two customer defined parameters
(temperature, pressure, voltage, levels)
• DPF and DEF status icons
• 3-Phase AC Volts, Amps & Hz
(for generators)

Features and Functions:

• Modbus port with galvanic isolation
to connect remote annunciators and
internet monitoring devices
• SAE J1939 CAN Bus Protocol
• RPM via J1939, Magnetic pick-up,
or Generator
• Speed control offset adjustment for
electronic engines
Front Panel or PC Configurable
The TOUGH series can be programmed
manually via front panel buttons or
with our easy-to-use PC configurator
software that provides customization
Snap-on RelayPak Option
The RelayPak is socketed to accept
four industry standard cube relays.
When installed, the RelayPak (RP-100*)
eliminates the need to mount and wire
external slave relays for Fuel, Crank,
and up to two other loads.
*RP-100 includes mounting pack and

• Auto start on Low Battery and of screen messages, sender selections, 3 x 40A (resistive) UL pilot duty rated relays

other sensors control settings, and much more. The PC

configurator uses a standard USB cable
with no special programmer required.
