TR100-E User Guide
This is the user manual for the TR100-E, the Dynagen remote panel that w orks w ith the TE350 and TE410 controllers.

Introduction 3
© 2019 DynaGen Technologies IncTOUGH Series Manual
1Introduction
The TR100-E is a J1939 remote panel for use w ith the TE350 and TE410. In a J1939 netw ork there can be one local engine
controller (TE350 or TE410) paired w ith an unlimited number of remotes (recommend limiting to five remotes).
The remote mimics w hat is displayed on the controller (see limitations below ).
1.1 Limitations
The remote panel cannot communicate w ith more than one local controller and there can only be one local controller on a
single J1939 netw ork.
There are restrictions the remote panel has compared to w hat can be done locally on the controller:
1. The countdow n timers (e.g. delay to start, preheat, cranking, crank rest, w arm-up, ...) are not displayed on the remote.
2. The log cannot be accessed from the remote panel.
3. The aftertreatment (e.g. DPF) menu is not displayed on the remote panel. A DPF/DEF cannot be initiated from the remote
panel.
4. No I/O on the remote panel is supported such as sw itched inputs, sw itched outputs, analog inputs, or modbus (RS485)
communications.
5. The date and time on the remote must be programmed manually. It is not updated over J1939. All custom text (if
applicable) must be programmed to the remote using the RapidCore Configuration softw are.

Wiring and Setup 4

2Wiring and Setup
Please follow the below guidelines w hen installing the remote panel.
Wiring
1. The maximum J1939 (CAN) cable distance is 40m (131.2ft). Tw isted pair or shielded tw isted pair cable must be used.
See J1939 standards J1939-11 for tw isted shield pair requirements or J1939-15 for tw isted pair (unshielded)
requirements. In brief, the cable must have a characteristic impedance of 120Ohms terminated at each end by 120Ohm
resistors. Note: cable impedance is not the same as the resistance of the cable.
2. The remote panel must be provided w ith pow er and ground connections.
TR100-E Setup
1. Dow nload the TR100-E firmw are from w w w .dynagen.com/support and unzip it to the desktop.
2. Using RapidCore program this firmw are into a TE350 or TE410 to convert it into a TR100-E.
Local TE350 / TE410 Setup
The remote needs access to certain parameters over the CAN J1939 bus. To do this follow these steps:
1. Using RapidCore read the settings from the local controller. A new settings tab w ill open. Go to that settings tab.
2. Under Communications > J1939 Bus > Broadcast Over J1939:
a. In the case of a mechanical engine these must be broadcasted by the local controller. Enable Engine Speed, Engine
Temperature, Oil Pressure, and Engine Hours.
b. In the case of an electronic engine some parameters are already broadcasted by the ECM and should not be sent by
the controller. Disable Engine Speed, Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure, or Engine Hours as these parameters are
send by the engine ECM. They should be hidden by default by RapidCore.
3. It is recommended to set "DTC Warning Broadcast Mode" to "Multiple Warning".
4. Enable Battery Voltage.
5. Enable AC Sensing and Fuel Level if applicable to your application.

3.1 Power Up
Whenever the remote panel is pow ered up it w ill attempt to register w ith the local controller. This happens on every pow er
up.
Registration is a pairing process that establishes a communication link. Once established the remote panel and local controller
can communicate w ith each other.

Using the Remote 7
© 2019 DynaGen Technologies IncTOUGH Series Manual
If the remote panel is not registered and also cannot communicate w ith the local controller it w ill display the follow ing
message.
Check the w iring betw een the local controller and the remote panel.
Once the remote is registered it w ill display one of the follow ing screens depending on if the controller is in the OFF or AUTO
modes.
OFF AUTO
The remote cannot start the controller w hen it is in the OFF mode. This is to prevent accidental starts w hen the engine or
generator is being w orked on. If the controller is in AUTO then starting from the remote is permitted and the screen notifies
you of such.
If the remote could not register w ith the local controller the below screen is displayed.
Note that the remote is setup to w ork w ith certain systems only. It may not w ork w ith every TE350 or TE410 system. Check
w ith your OEM for assistance.
If communication w ith the controller is lost the remote w ill display the follow ing screen:
3.2 Failure Shutdown
If the local controller has shutdow n due to a failure the follow ing screen w ill be displayed on the remote panel.

controller goes back to the OFF state. Then release the OFF button. The remote w ill do a reset and the screen w ill flicker.
This is normal.
This is the screen that w ill be displayed w hen the controller is in the OFF mode after the failure has been reset.
3.3 Front Panel Menu
There are several settings the operator can change in the remote. The menu can only be accessed w hen the local controller
is in the OFF or AUTO modes. By pressing the Enter button the menu can be accessed.

3.4 Starting and Stopping
The remote panel cannot start the generator if the local controller is in the OFF mode. This is a safety feature. When the
local controller is in the OFF mode the remote controller w ill display "System Off, Start Disabled".
Starting w ith the remote panel can only be accomplished w hen the local controller is in the AUTO mode; you must go to the
local controller and put it in AUTO if the local controller is in the OFF mode. When in AUTO mode the remote w ill display
"System Ready, Waiting to Start". Pressing the Run button on the remote panel w ill start the controller.
When in RUN mode pressing the Off button on the remote w ill shutdow n the controller. If the local controller w as started via
its front panel Run button then you must hold dow n the Off button on the remote panel for at least 3s -- this is referred to as
the forced off feature. It is to discourage remote users from overriding users that started the controller locally.
For installations w ith cooldow n delay, the remote panel cannot be used to cancel cooldow n and reenter the RUN mode.

3.5 Parameter Display
The remote panel does not display parameters that are disabled or that are set to a sw itch. If you don't see a particular
parameter on the remote panel display check if it is enabled on the local controller.
3.6 Speed Control
Manual Speed Control
If a manual start w as performed the user can increase/decrease the engine speed w ith the Up (Rabbit) and Dow n (Turtle)
buttons. On a manual start speed can be control either from idle or goal speed depending on how the local controller w as
programmed.
Automatic Speed Control
The local controller may automatically start due to a float auto start condition. If float auto start is enabled in the controller
then a special tank page w ill be displayed in Auto and Run mode show ing the position of the floats. Also a tank symbol might
be displayed next to the float tank display show ing the level of the tank. Engine speed is also show n on this page.
