1.TheEngineMonitorUserManual
ThankyouforchoosingtheEngineMonitor.
These pages provide operating instructions
fortheEngineMonitorwhichdisplaysJ1939
orJ1587-compatibleengine/transmission
data.
Pleasereadthroughtheguidebeforeuse.
TheEngineMonitoruser-congurable
application software creates graphical
instrument clusters to display parameters
and alarms - providing users with a time-
saving solution for introducing equipment
incorporating higher degrees of electronic
displayandcontrol.
We hope you will be very happy with this
product and have many years of trouble-
freeoperation.Ifyouhaveanyproblemsor
ideas for improvement then we would like
tohearfromyou.

2.UnderstandingTheEngineMonitor
TheEngineMonitorsoftwarerunsonaKAntrak™display(seesection19forfurtherdetailson
theKAntrak™platform)withvesoftkeys,providingaexibleandintuitiveHuman-Machine
Interface(HMI).The5softkeysaccessagraphicalmenustructurethatusesstandardandeasily-
understoodiconstoindicatethekey’scurrentfunction.Thisenablestheoperatortoselectthe
requiredengine/transmissiondataanddisplayitinthefollowingformats:
•Analoguegauges
•Digitalvalues
•Historicaltrendgraphs
•Currentandstoredalarmmessages
Additionally,variousdiagnosticscreensareavailable,allowingdetailedinvestigationoftheengine
andtransmissiondatastream.TheunderlyingstructureoftheEngineMonitoranditsinteraction
withthesoftkeysmaybeunderstoodbyFigure1.ByaccessingtheCongurationmenu,users
cancustomisesomeofthedisplayeddatatoshow,forexample,metricorimperialunits,and
variousparameterssuchasthefull-scalereadingofgauges.

3.GettingStarted
Whenpowerisappliedtothedisplay,astart-upscreendisplaysforapproximately7seconds
whilethedisplayperformsaselftest.Ifthedisplaymakesa‘bleep-ing’soundforlongerthan1
second,self-testhasfailed. Users can attempt to rectify the fault by restoring factory defaults (see
Congurationmenu/section10fordetails);ifthefaultpersists,contactyoursupplierforguidance.
Afterthestart-upscreendisappears,theEngineMonitorstartsdisplayingreadingsonitsvirtual
gaugesifitisconnectedtoanactivesourceofdata.TheEngineMonitordisplaysthe‘main

thatwaslastdisplayed(seePreferredScreenStore/section13fordetails).TheEngineMonitor
displaymodesaredetailedinthefollowingsections.

4.SoftKeys
TheEngineMonitor’ssoftkeyssimplifytheoperatorinterface.Inuse,theEngineMonitordisplays
a‘buttonbar’directlyabovethesoftkeyswhenanyoftherst4keys(keys1to4,startingfrom
theleft)arepressed-withiconsrepresentingthecurrentfunctionofeachkey.Figure2.shows
thetoplevelbuttonbar,withicons1to4representingthegaugesandalarmsavailable,andicon

5.TheTriDisplay
ThisEngineMonitordisplaymodeprovidesthreeindependentwindows,andisintendedtoshow
themostfrequentlyaccessedvehicledata(RPM,speed,temperatureandfuel).ToselectTri
Display,pressanyoftherst4keystoshowthetoplevelbuttonbar,andthenpresskey1(the
left-handkey).Theparameterdisplayedinthetoprightgaugeisuserdened,tochangethe
displayeddatapresskey5whenthebuttonbarisvisibleandthenkeys1and2tocyclethrough
theavailableparameters.Alsothedatadisplayedinthefuelcomputerwindow(Bottomleft

followingpages.Also,attributessuchasunitsandscalesmaybechangedviatheConguration
menu(Seesection10fordetails).

application-specicviewsofenginedata.Gaugesareselectedviaquaddisplay’s‘adjustmode’,
bypressingkey5(notedbyanarrowicon)whentheEngineMonitorisrunningquaddisplayand
thebuttonbarisvisible.Inadjustmode,correspondingkeypressescyclethedisplaythrough

Severe, “MOD”= Moderately Severe and “LS” = Least Severe.
Thealarmlistisaccessedbypressinganykeywhileanalarmpop-upisdisplayed,orby
