Option M1/M2 is used for engine control/protection. Option M1 is delivered as standard in the
AGC. If option M2 is selected, it will replace option M1.

Options E1, EF2, EF3 and EF4 are used for GOV/AVR control. 4 relays are used as standard in
the AGC for GOV/AVR control. If selected, these options will replace the 4 relays.
