MENU NAVIGATION
To access the control module menu system, power the unit and press the Menu button. While
pressing the menu button a message will appear to also press Enter to access.
Once you have accessed the menu system, the four key pad will be used for menu navigation and
therefore not available for engine speed control if the engine is running. The menu system is broken
into two main sections, the operator menu and the controller setup menu. The operator menu
contains information about the engine and control panel. The topics will vary based on the engine
type and control panel model. Pressing the Menu key will index the menu topic to the next item in
the list. The index is circular so you will eventually wrap around to the beginning of the operator
menu structure. Pressing the Enter key will index the topics backward. Once you have arrived at a
menu topic that you would like to explore more, press the Up arrow key. The Up arrow key will
index the screen each time it is pressed. Pressing the Down arrow key will index in the reverse order.
Pressing the Menu key at any time while in a topic will return you to the main menu topic heading.
To exit the menu, simply press the Menu and Enter keys simultaneously.

THROTTLE CONFIGURATION
The Throttle Configuration menu allows you to design the appropriate speed control for your
application. The most common throttle control is TSC Vernier. This option allows you to start the
engine at the minimum speed and control the throttle up to the maximum speed with the ability to

stop anywhere in between. The TSC Multistate throttle allows you to set up to four ascending
discrete speeds. If you do not wish to use all four speeds, simply program the number of speeds
you like and set the remaining speeds to a lesser value than your last desired speed. This will cause
the control panel to ignore the undesired speeds.

Multistate throttle provides for one, two, three or four specific operating speeds. Pressing the up
and down buttons adjusts engine speed between the selected multistate speed selections.
3) High/Low
Engine accelerates to the Max speed setting with the UP button is pressed. When the UP button
is released, the engine goes back to idle speed.
4) Analog Position Sensor
This throttle type requires the MVP to be connected to an aftermarket Analog Position Sensor
via plug B pins 3 and 4. The APS Input #1 to pin 4 provides throttle control while APS Input #2,
pin 3 provides throttle verification when used. The maximum voltage range for the APS sensor is
0.5 –4.5v for APS1 and APS2 inputs.
5) Off
This throttle type eliminates the MVP from performing any throttle functions.
Note:
The Off option is the only available option for Generator Engines.
ENGINE SAFETY CONFIGURATION
The Engine Safety Configuration menu enables the user to set warnings for the critical engine
parameters. Care should be taken when configuring to match the engine manufacturers

PANEL ENGINE SAFETY PROTECTIONS
PREALARMS AND ALARM

CONTROLS, INCORPORATED
C O N T R O L S Y S T E M S & S O L U T I O N S
- 16 -
The primary engine protection in an engine equipped with an ECU is managed by the engine’s ECU.
The display will show lamp status and trouble code information based on the ECUs messaging to the
display. The control panel does not create a trouble code; however, it will display it. In addition, the
control panel will monitor the critical engine parameters of speed, coolant temperature and oil
pressure. Pre Alarms are considered to be warnings that a parameter is nearing a point where
engine damage may occur if not corrected. Alarms are considered to be the limit of the engine
operating without causing damage. Therefore, alarm conditions may shut the engine down, or
invoke other behavior as selected, while the pre alarms will allow the engine to continue to run. The
control will log the condition and attempt to bring attention to it by illuminating a yellow LED lamp
and flashing the affected parameter. The alarm condition will also be accompanied by a red LED
lamp and a specific message of what parameter caused the engine to shut down.
SAFETY SHUTDOWNS
Once the engine is started, the engine’s ECU has primary control over the operation of the engine
under safe conditions. If the ECU detects that any of its critical parameters are out of tolerance, the
ECU can take a variety of actions including derating of the engine horsepower or complete engine
shut down. The display will illuminate the red or yellow LED as instructed by the ECU and display
any trouble code as presented from the ECU. Some engine manufacturers have unique codes that
the control panel will show in lieu of the J1939 DM1 messaging. Otherwise codes will be displayed
as J1939 SPN (Suspect Parameter Number) and FMI (Failure Mode Identifier).
The control panel also has the ability to monitor the engine vitals if configured. The ability to set pre
alarms and alarms in the panel is supported to back up the ECUs safeties in the event the ECU
shutdowns were not enabled for some reason or a more conservative setting is desired. If the
parameter falls outside of the normal operating range, the control panel will stop the engine by

removing power to the fuel solenoid or ignition circuit. The display will indicate the reason for the
shutdown and a red alarm lamp will be illuminated in the upper left corner of the module.

The engine ECU continuously monitors the engine’s emissions parameters. When certain conditions
are reached, the ECU will indicate that a regen is needed. This controller works in cooperation with
the ECU to display this information as well as provide an interface between the operator and ECU.
The information can be obtained by entering the Emissions Parameters menu (described above).
The regen status can be set to two different states, Auto or Regen Inhibit. When the unit is in Regen
Inhibit, the ECU will not be able to initiate a regen. This state should be used sparingly and for a
brief period of time. The default setting is Auto, which allows for the ECU to initiate a regen.
Regeneration is initiated and controlled solely by the engine ECU.
Regeneration Levels
0 –Passive this is the normal engine operation where the elimination of soot and ash is
accomplished by the current engine speed and load.
1 –Auto at this level, the ECU enables automatic active regeneration due to the
current soot and ash load. There is no effect on engine performance or
operation during automatic active regeneration. If the regen inhibit mode is
activated, a “Disable Inhibit –Yes/No” prompt will appear. As the regen
continues to be inhibited, an “Auto Regen Needed” screen will scroll with
the standard screen.
2 –Auto/Parked as the soot/ash levels increase, the ECU may continue as in level 1, or may
send a Parked Regen request (DPF Lamp).
3 –Parked the ECU will send prompts to the controller and light the DPF Lamp (see
below).
4 –Service Regen the Kubota Service Regen Required prompt will appear. At this stage, a
service technician is required to perform a regen.
5 –Service Required the engine requires service by an authorized dealer.

The MVP module has two regeneration function buttons, Regen Request and Regen Inhibit.
Regen Request –This button will operate when a required regen has been annunciated by the ECU
and subsequently denied by the Operator. The module will repost the ECU regen request every 2
minutes, however, if at any time prior to the prompt, the operator wishes to reinstitute the regen
prompt, it can be done by pressing this button for at least two seconds. If the operator presses this
button at any time when the ECU does not require a regen, a message of No Regen Required will
appear.
Regen Inhibit –Pressing this button for at least two seconds will alternate the module between the
Regen Inhibit and Regen Auto Modes. If at any time the ECU indicates a regen is required and the
unit is in Regen Inhibit mode, a prompt screen will appear asking if the operator wants to switch to
auto.
Parked Regeneration Process
When a regen is required, the ECU sends a signal to the controller lighting the DPF Lamp. This lamp
will remain on until a regen has been completed.
The display will annunciate several prompts for the Operator’s acknowledgement. The controller will
prompt the Operator that a regen is needed. To proceed, the operator will press the Enter button
for yes.
If the operator chooses No, then the Parked Regen Needed will continue to scroll with the normal
operating screen. The prompt will automatically reappear after two minutes.
