4.2 System Voltage & Current Requirements
Each Tier 4 Final/Stage IV engine comes supplied with an engine ECM
controller and an SCR dosing control unit. Each controller has its own specific
electrical requirements which need to be met for correct system operation.
These electrical characteristics are shown in the following sections.
4.2.1 Engine ECM
The ECM power supply requirements must be carefully considered when
designing the engine power supply circuit. There are specific limitations that
must be considered in the design to ensure a reliable consistent power supply
to the engine electronic components. The table provides the electrical
characteristics and limitations for the A5:E2v2 & A5:E12 ECMs.

Table 4.1 ECM Voltage & Current Requirements
* All Current measurements have been taken from Tier 4F 1204F – 1206F
Electronic System – ECM Current Draw for Engine Alternator Sizing and are
estimations only. RMS current will vary with engine speed (assuming constant
voltage) no Lamp Drivers or application side components were fitted during
measurement and will therefore need to be accounted for.
** Suggested fuse rating are based on automotive blade type fuses and are
for guidance only.
***The ECM can survive higher voltages. ECM will survive for at least 5
minutes on a supply voltage of 60V.
**** Please refer to the Starting and Charging System guidelines for more
information regarding the engine starting system installation requirements.
