Advantages and Features

ADEM III Control System

More control inputs and outputs, capacity for additional features, additional monitoring capabilities, expansion capability for future enhancements

Most Advanced Electronic Control System

Adjustment free control of engine speed, customer defined operating characteristics, protection and warning system, optional display systems available

Future Enhancement Capability

The electronic control system has additional capacity for future enhancements to ensure a long useful engine life

Redesigned Exhaust Manifold

Provides a smoother passage for improved exhaust gas flow to the turbocharger which leads to more usable energy and lower exhaust temperatures.

Easy Replacement for 3196

The C12 has the same physical size, same footprint, and the same connection points as the 3196 engine as well the same optional attachments.

Optional Monitoring System

Caterpillar offers several “plug and play” monitoring systems which display everything from the basic engine operating parameters to engine load factor and trip totals. Ask your local Caterpillar dealer for additional information on our Marine Power Display (MPD), Marine Analog Power Display (MAPD), and our Engine Vision Display (EVD).
