Built for Heavy-Duty Reliability: Terex Cummins ISL DEF Head Unit
What is it?
The Terex Cummins ISL DEF Head Unit is a critical emissions control module integrated into the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system of Terex vehicles powered by Cummins ISL diesel engines. It precisely meters and injects Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust stream to neutralize nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollutants, while built-in sensors monitor fluid level, temperature, and pressure to ensure accurate dosing and emissions compliance.
Why choose a Terex-specific DEF Head Unit for ISL applications?
Engineered specifically for Terex chassis equipped with Cummins ISL engines, this DEF Head Unit offers chassis-matched connectors and factory-calibrated performance. It helps prevent DEF system malfunctions, SCR-related fault codes, and engine derates by providing seamless integration with the vehicle’s ECM. Designed for heavy-duty applications, it delivers OEM-grade accuracy and durability under rugged operating conditions.
