PANEL OPERATION
MANUAL OPERATION
1) Engine Start - Turn key to CRANK position
2) Engine Stop - Turn key to OFF position
AUTO START/STOP OPERATION
1) Engine Start - Turn key to AUTO position
Engine start/stop based on auto start/stop settings. Panel display shows “Auto Start ARMED”
message. The engine starts when the remote start input wire is grounded. The engine stops
with the remote start wire is not grounded.
SLEEP MODE
To minimize current draw, the panel goes into a sleep mode two minutes after being set in auto
mode. In sleep mode, the display goes blank and the red lamp blinks once every ten seconds. The
engine ECU is also turned off.
Upon receiving a signal from a float or transducer the panel wakes up, the display turns back on and
normal operation commences.
Pushing any of the four buttons wakes up the panel and turns the display on. It will return to sleep
mode after a two minute period.
For service purposes, to keep engine ECU powered, access the menu system. The engine ECU remains
on when the menu system is active.

ENGINE ALARMS, CODES AND MESSAGES
WARNINGS & ALARMS
When parameter is outside of its limits, the control panel flashes that parameter the display and
illuminates the yellow lamp. If the condition worsens beyond the alarm set point, the red lamp
illuminates, the engine shuts down and an alarm message appears on the display identifying the
cause.
ALARM EVENT LOG
The Alarm Log creates an entry allowing the service and/or operator to view the last 32 events. An
event is considered either a warning or shutdown. Each event is time stamped with engine run time
hours. Access the Alarm Event Log menu to view.
Above is an example of high engine speed alarm at 352.9 hours. The most recent event will be the
first displayed in the log.

1) Off / Always / Run –Describes when the parameter will be monitored for alarm conditions. Run
refers to when the engine is running. Off disables the alarm conditions. Always enables the alarm
constantly regardless of engine state.
2) Alarm Delay –The time period, after Sender Check Bypass, that the parameter must be on the alarm
condition before the alarm becomes latched.

CONTROL PANEL DIGITAL INPUT
The panel provides the analog and digital inputs defined below located in the Input Configuration
menu. The panel is shipped from the factory with the highlighted inputs enabled in the panel. Inputs
not highlighted need to be enabled/configured in the menu system to be used.

DIGITAL FUNCTIONS
The digital input in this model is dedicated to providing the remote start circuit with a signal. The
flex analog circuit can be used as a switch shutdown input if configured as such in the Input
Configuration menu.
1) Alarm –Engine shutdown when active with display message as assigned. A red lamp will also
be illuminated.
2) Pre Alarm –Warning message will be displayed along with a yellow lamp when active.
DIGITAL FUNCTION MONITORING
Off / Always / Run –Describes when the parameter will be monitored for alarm conditions. Run refers
to when the engine is running. Off disables the alarm conditions. Always enables the alarm constantly
regardless of engine state.
DIGITAL FUNCTION DELAYS
Alarm Delay –The time period, after Sender Check Bypass, that the parameter must be on the alarm
condition before the alarm becomes latched.
