Intended use
Device information
1.4 Intended use
This device is exclusively used to start and monitor mechanically controlled combustion
engines in machines.
The device is for the following use only:
•starting and monitoring the mechanically controlled combustion engines of mobile and
stationary construction machines
•starting and monitoring the mechanically controlled combustion engines of inland ships
Intended use also includes compliance with all specifications in these Translation of the orig-
inal operating instructions.
1.5 Improper use
Any use not mentioned in section "Intended use" (Page 7) is considered improper and may
result in personal injury and property damage.
The device is expressly not intended for the following:
•starting and monitoring the mechanically controlled combustion engines of road vehicles
•starting and monitoring the mechanically controlled combustion engines of aircraft
•starting and monitoring the mechanically controlled combustion engines of helicopters
•starting and monitoring the mechanically controlled combustion engines of deep-sea
vessels
•Unauthorised structural changes
•Unauthorised repairs
Info
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper use of the device. The risk for
this is borne solely by the user or operator.
The guarantee expires in the event of improper use.
1.6 Functional description
The device offers a multitude of functions for the control and monitoring of conventionally
controlled combustion engines. You can individually configure the settings for very diverse
applications and different engine variants. The device is capable of pre-glowing, by-glowing
and after-glowing the engine to up to 70 A, using time or temperature variables. Oil pressure
and engine temperature can be monitored with switches or sensors. One additional input is
provided for monitoring the generator. The operating magnet is actuated by the outputs for
excitation and pick-up winding. There is also an alarm output available. The engine can be
switched off via an "external stop” input (hood switch , cover switch / housing switch, for
example).

Technical data
Device information

Translation of the original operating instructions • Engine controller MCflex • 08/05/2018 • 3.0 • GB
In the event of a fault, the display returns a corresponding message after an adjustable delay
time and an LED illuminates. If a corresponding function is programmed, the engine is
switched off. The input lock allows the clear identification of the cause of error and requires an
active acknowledgement of the fault message.
By pressing the arrow keys of the device, the operating hours, oil pressure, temperature and
number of revolutions of the engine are displayed in sequence on the two-line display. Other
parameters can be displayed using customised software.
