Input Signal Conditioning Notes (see Resource by Connector Pin table and/or
block diagram for pull up/pull down resistor levels)
IMPORTANT—The ECM has been validated in an application using typical loads. Maximum loading is based on
datasheet values. Actual capability is somewhere between typical (validated) and maximum (datasheet) and is
dependent on ambient temperature, system voltage, and the state of all other inputs and outputs. In most cases it
will not be possible for an application to use the maximum values. Please contact Woodward sales for more
information.

Environmental Ratings 

Environmental Ratings Notes

The ECM is designed for automotive, under hood and marine industry environmental requirements. Validation tests
include extreme operating temperatures, thermal shock, humidity, salt spray, salt fog, immersion, fluid resistance,
mechanical shock, vibration, and EMC. The customer must contact Woodward and provide the intended
environmental conditions in the application for verification of performance capability.
Storage Temperature –40 to +125 °C
Operating Temperature –40 to +85 °C (105 °C applications possible)
Thermal Shock –40 to +125 °C
Fluid Resistance Two-stroke motor oil, four-stroke motor oil, unleaded
gasoline, ASTM Reference 'C' fuel
Humidity Resistance 90% humidity at 85 °C for 1000 hours.
Salt Fog Resistance 500 hours. 5% salt fog, 35 °C.
4.34 psi (29.92 kPa) test (simulated 10 feet/3 m), salt
Immersion water, 20 minutes.
Mechanical Shock 50 G's, 11 ms, half sine wave.

Drop Test Drop test on concrete from 1 meter.

Vibration
This ECM family has been successfully deployed with
on-engine mounting for small displacement engine
applications with extreme vibrations. Electrical and
mechanical isolation is achieved via Woodward mounting
hardware (consisting of grommet, bushing, and washer)
shown at the right.

For prior verification of

performance capability, contact Woodward and
provide the vibration profile of the intended
application.
