The UG MAS speed setting system allows remote speed setting using a 4–20 mA current loop. This remote control of engine speed is especially useful in marine applications using milliamp signals instead of the more traditional pneumatic pressure signal.
The system consists of a UG-8 Dial governor with a special cover and a separate final driver. The cover of the UG-8 includes a stepper motor that is directly connected to the speeder screw in the UG-8 governor. On top of the stepper motor, the position of the motor is measured with a feedback potentiometer connected with a worm and gear.
