Ignition Sensing
The ECS can be tied to the ignition switch so some features only work when the key is in the ON or accessory position. Other circuits (ie bilge) would work regardless of ignition switch position
Backlighting
OCM backlighting is controlled by either a particular switch button press or by the position of the ignition switch
Low Battery Sensing
The ECS can be configured to sense battery voltage and turn OFF non-critical loads as the battery starts to drain. The levels (x2)at which circuits are turned OFF are customer configurable
Automatic Shutdown
The ECS can be configured to turn OFF all functions after a prescribed period of inactivity
Configurable Always ON circuits
Circuits (relays) can be configured to be ON all of the time. This allows the ECP to be used as a distribution panel (ie. for stereo memory) as well as a switching system
Bilge Pump Auto Detect Circuit
The ECS detect when a bilge pump has been turned ON by a float switch, & will indicate this on the OCM (as required by the American Boat & Yacht Council)
Cloned Switches
Individual circuits can be controlled with multiple switch buttons in multiple locations
Dimming
The ECS can be configured to dim the function indication LEDs to a preset value by turning on a particular circuit, typically the navigation or anchor lights
Lock-out Circuits
Lockout Circuits can be configured to not work if another specific circuit is ON. This is an ideal configuration for motor reversing circuits
Tripped Circuit Breaker Sensing (pending)
The ECS will detect when a circuit breaker has tripped and will indicate the trip with a rapid flashing LED on the OCM.
Remote-Reset Circuit Breaker (pending)
Using an auto-reset thermal circuit breaker, the ECS is capable of remotely resetting circuits
