Woodward 9904-173

Product Name:​ Woodward 9904-173 Load Sharing Module (Analog Output)
Product Introduction:​ The 9904-173 is a load sharing module designed for use with engines equipped with speed controls. It accepts a ±3 Vdc speed setting input, a 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc input, or a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) input. The module enables load sharing between engines equipped with non-Woodward speed controls and Woodward electronic engine controls, or with other Woodward load sharing modules.
