The Fire Research ThrottleXcel combines remote engine throttle control with advanced engine monitoring capabilities in a single compact control module. Designed for fire apparatus and specialty vehicles, ThrottleXcel receives engine information through the J1939 or ISO CAN Bus and provides operators with precise RPM control while continuously monitoring critical engine functions.
Featuring a quick-response control knob, dual-line digital message display, and bi-color LED bar graph indicators, ThrottleXcel delivers clear visual feedback for engine oil pressure, coolant temperature, transmission temperature, and battery voltage. The system can be configured for manual throttle operation or automatic RPM management depending on engine compatibility and application requirements. With built-in diagnostics, programmable high-idle functionality, automatic day/night display adjustment, and optional audible alarms, ThrottleXcel is engineered to provide dependable engine control and monitoring in demanding emergency response environments.
