product description

The model 1400 is Ross Hill Controls' most popular Eng/Gen Control System. This system is an excellent selection for generator controls in your new or upgraded platform or land rig.

These controls are perfect for power packages of medium and small SCR systems. These systems are used around the world in all climates from the Arctic Circle to the deserts of Saudi Arabia. The model 1400 SCR system is CSA approved.
