Kussmaul Auto Throttle

The Kussmaul Auto Throttle 1 is a voltage detector designed to enhance engine performance by increasing idle speed when alternator output drops. This device provides efficient control for maintaining sufficient battery voltage, making it an ideal solution for vehicles with high electrical demands. Its simple installation and reliable performance ensure compatibility with various throttle systems.

Automatic High Idle Control

The Auto Throttle 1 monitors battery voltage and activates high idle when it detects insufficient alternator output. If the voltage drops below 12.5 volts for at least 15 seconds, the device triggers a relay to increase engine speed. This boosts alternator output, ensuring consistent power supply for vehicle systems.

Minimized Cycling for Improved Efficiency

To prevent unnecessary cycling, the unit maintains high idle for at least 5 minutes after activation. It only deactivates when the battery voltage rises above 13.4 volts or after the 5-minute duration, whichever comes later. This design reduces wear and tear on vehicle components and optimizes energy management.

Versatile and Easy to Install

The Auto Throttle 1 is compatible with any throttle actuator, making it highly versatile for a wide range of vehicles. Its straightforward design simplifies installation, saving time and effort for technicians. The device provides control signals but does not include the mechanism to adjust engine speed, which must be installed separately.
