Prior to starting the engine, select the proper throttle control mode and parameters required
for application.
Generator Safety Configuration Menu
CAN Bus Configuration
This module communicates to the engine ECU via the J1939 CAN Bus network. This is a three
wire connection to the engine ECU. Engine information and alarmcodes are broadcast over the
CAN bus fromthe engine ECU to the controller display. And, the controller communicates throttle
commands to the engine ECU over the CAN bus.
To assure proper communications between the engine ECU and the controller, the correct
SOURCE ADDRESS and TSC1 ADDRESS need to be selected in the controller for the particular
engine make and model. These settingsare availablein the CAN CONFIGURATION MENU.

ENGINE ALARMS, CODES AND MESSAGES
Engine ECU Alarm/De-Rate/Shut Downs
It isimportant to understand panel operation with respect to engine safety protections, alarms, and
fault codes. The panel operates with J1939 engines. These engines have an ECU (engine control
unit) which is essentially a computer that runs the engine. When engine parameters are outof
normal operating ranges, the ECU takes specific actions which can include the following:
1) Broadcast a trouble code
2) Broadcast a red or yellow lamp
3) De-rate the engine
4) Shut down the engine
5) Turn on alarmhorn
It isthe engine ECU that de-ratesor shuts down the engine whenit isnot operating within normal
parameters. Thisincludes more common shut downs like high engine temperature andlowoil
pressure but can encompass a large range of parameters depending on the ECU.
Alarm Annunciation and Code Reader
This panel is configured to operate with standard J1939 engines where engine de-rate and
shutdowns are managed by the engine ECU. The panel communicates with the engineECU and
serves as a trouble code reader. When the engine ECU broadcasts a trouble code (called an
SPN.FMI code) the panel does the following:
1) Illuminate the appropriate LED indicator lamp
a. Yellow Lamp = Alarm
b. Red Lamp = Engine Shut Down
2) Displays the trouble code (standard SPN.FMI code)
3) Displays a code description on the LCD screen
4) Displays the occurrence count of the code

Active and Stored Engine ECU Codes
The panel also provides the ability to check the engine ECU for all ACTIVE and STORED engine
ECU codes. These codes can be viewed via the Active Codesand Stored Codes menus.

CONTROL PANEL ANALOG AND DIGITAL INPUTS
The panel has one analoginput and up to one digital input available to monitor other components,
sendersor signals. Theseinputs can be used for a number of purposesincluding alarms and shut
downs.

Run refers to when theengineis running. Off disables the alarmconditions. Always enables
the alarm constantly regardless of engine state.
2) AlarmDelay –The time period, after Sender Check Bypass, that the parameter must be on
the alarmcondition before the alarmbecomes latched.
CONTROL PANEL RELAY OUTPUTS
The panel has threerelay outputs available to signal other devices basedon predefined
events. These Outputs can be used for a number of purposesincluding engine operation or
driving an audible alarm.
