Product Overview

The Woodward 8446-1048 serves as the primary remote operator interface and annunciator for the easYgen-3000XT series genset controllers. This panel-mounted HMI allows operators to monitor system health, acknowledge alarms, and execute control commands from a remote location, such as a centralized control room or a bridge console. By mirroring the primary controller's data, the 8446-1048 ensures high-speed situational awareness and operational safety in complex power generation and marine propulsion environments.

Condition: 100% Brand New Original Factory Stock.

Technical Specifications

The 8446-1048 features a high-visibility color display and a rugged tactile keypad designed for continuous industrial use.

Engineering Advantages

• Centralized Remote Command: The 8446-1048 facilitates full remote control over generator start/stop sequences and breaker operations. This capability eliminates the need for personnel to enter hazardous engine rooms or high-voltage areas for routine monitoring.

• Real-Time Alarm Annunciation: The high-resolution color LCD provides immediate visual feedback on system events and faults. Operators identify and respond to critical alarms via the 11-button keypad, significantly reducing the mean time to repair (MTTR) during power disruptions.

• Seamless easYgen Integration: This annunciator functions as a native extension of the easYgen-3000 series architecture. It supports multi-lingual displays and automatically synchronizes with the primary controller's parameter settings, simplifying the commissioning process.

• Extreme Environmental Resilience: Engineered for mission-critical reliability, the unit operates flawlessly in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C. The ruggedized front panel resists the humidity and vibrations typical of marine bridge and offshore platform installations.

• Simplified Panel Mounting: The compact depth and standardized cutout dimensions allow for easy integration into existing control consoles. The wide 8–40 VDC input range ensures stable operation even during significant battery voltage drops during engine cranking.

FAQs

Q: Can the 8446-1048 monitor multiple easYgen controllers simultaneously?

A: The RP-3000XT is typically paired with a specific easYgen-3000 series controller to provide a dedicated remote interface. For multi-generator centralized monitoring, multiple annunciators can be networked to a SCADA system or integrated into a master control console.

Q: Does this annunciator support language switching for international crews?

A: Yes. The 8446-1048 supports Woodward’s multi-lingual firmware. You can select the desired operating language directly through the menu system to ensure that local operators can clearly understand all alarm descriptions and system statuses.

Q: How do I connect the 8446-1048 to the primary controller?

A: Connection is usually achieved via a dedicated communication link (such as CAN or Ethernet, depending on the specific firmware version). This high-speed link ensures that data updates on the remote LCD occur with minimal latency, matching the real-time status of the generator.

Q: Is the 8446-1048 compatible with older, non-XT easYgen units?

A: While the 8446-1048 belongs to the 3000XT family, it maintains significant compatibility across the easYgen-3000 series. However, always verify your primary controller's firmware version to ensure all remote display features are fully supported.
