1. Important Safety and Emissions Information
The specifying Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and/or installer of
any LOFA panel is responsible for all safety labeling and operator education
regarding the safe operation of this panel and the operation of the specific
machine that this panel is installed upon including conformance to exhaust
emissions regulations.
LOFA products are not designed for, or intended for use on, applications
requiring explosive proof components. Further, LOFA products are not
designed for, or intended for application within, hazardous or explosive
environments.
The installer of this LOFA product is solely responsible for ensuring that
all OSHA, ANSI, CE, or other applicable standards are met with respect
to LOFA panel applicability, machine guarding, general safety guidelines,
labeling, and warnings.
The installer of this LOFA panel and/or LOFA harness is responsible for the
correct sizing and integration of a suitable fuse/breaker on the un-switched
DC circuit supplying power to the LOFA panel.
Only trained and qualified persons may perform installation, testing, service,
or repair work on the LOFA product.
The seller hereby expressly disclaims all warranties, either expressed or
implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, and neither assumes nor authorizes any other person
to assume for it any liability in connection with the sale of such products.

1.3 Auxiliary Engine Stop Disclaimer
This panel or harness may include an optional Auxiliary Engine Stop feature. Please note that
the Auxiliary Engine Stop feature is NOT intended to function as the machine/equipment
Emergency Stop or be purposed as an Emergency Stop for safety purposes. The machine
manufacturer must provide a separate Emergency Stop switch to meet safety mandates or emer-
gency machine shutdown functionality. The sole design intent of the Auxiliary Engine Stop Feature
is to provide for engine shutdown in the event of a keyswitch malfunction. The panel key/lever switch
should always be used as the primary engine shutdown method.
1.4 General Emissions Disclaimer
This panel may include provision(s) for operator input such as FORCE REGENERATION, INHIBIT
REGENERATION, INTERLOCK, and others specific to US and International emissions regulations.
Responsibility for emissions-related inputs and compliance with emissions regulations is solely that
of the owner and/or operator of the machine/engine on which this panel is connected.
1.5 Exhaust Emissions Compliance Disclaimer
This panel is equipped with operator-programmable parameters. The engine/machine as a function
of the emissions system can/could initiate, via the engine ECU (engine control unit), certain required
emissions operations such as regeneration of the DPF (diesel particulate filter), or other emissions
system maintenance, while the engine is running. The owner/operator of the engine/machine is
solely responsible for any adverse effects or damage to the engine, engine emissions system, or
other damage that could occur as a result of starting or stopping the engine/machine during any
ECU initiated emissions event.

2. Overview
2 Overview
The LOFA CP1000 control panel is a manual and autostart platform for EPA Tier 3, EPA Tier 4
(interim), EPA Tier 4, and EU Stage V electronically governed diesel or natural gas engines. It can
also can control mechanically governed diesel engines. Graphical quad-gauge pages are displayed
on the 4.3-inch diagonal WQVGA (480x272 pixels) LCD. Virtually any SAE J1939 parameter reported
by the ECU (Engine Control Unit) can be displayed including, but not limited to: RPM, coolant
temperature, oil pressure, engine hours, voltage, exhaust emissions system state, and diagnostic
codes. The backlit display is clearly readable in both bright sunlight as well as total darkness and
housed in a rugged IP66 rated housing. The CP1000 has three (3) bright LEDs to indicate Faults
and Warnings, Emission-Related Alerts, and Autostart active. The Panel has five (5) display keys
that are associated with the dynammic Display Key bar and eight (8) control buttons.
The CP1000 panel features advanced automatic start/stop control which can meet almost any
requirement. Building on the functionality of the CP750 series platform, this next generation panel
offers many new start/stop modes using a very powerful, yet easily configured Event Manager, which
can start or stop based on any of the eight (8) digital inputs, six (6) 4-20mA analog transducer
inputs, Real Time Clock, or combinations of date/time and analog or digital inputs. With the use of a
transducer, the panel has a ”crusie control” feature that automatically throttles the engine to maintain
a configurable level. The panel can be configured to use any one of the transducer inputs for the
maintain/cruise control feature regardless if that input is also being used as a start or stop event.
All components are installed in a heavy-duty, vibration-isolated metal or NEMA-rated plastic enclosure
designed to withstand the most extreme industrial applications. External weather resistant switches
and controls facilitate convenient operator inputs/controls. Active fault conditions are displayed in
plain language on popup messages and can be viewed in the fault list. Various diagnostic screens
allow detailed investigation of the CAN bus data stream.
All diagnostic and emissions related messages displayed on the CP1000 are generated by the
engine ECU or other attached devices. The operator must be familiar with the engine manufacturer
ECU messages and icons in order to react accordingly with respect to emissions compliance, service,
and diagnostic message response.

3. Display
3 Display
The CANplus
®
display is a robust, sunlight viewable 4.3” WQVGA color display with five (5) integrated
backlit display buttons and eight (8) large control buttons housed in a rugged, water-tight IP66 rated
enclosure. The five display keys simplify and enhance the user interface by providing positive tactile
feedback when pressed. The display can show virtually any SAE J1939 parameter reported by
the ECU, including RPM, engine temperature, oil pressure, and diagnostic codes. It can be easily
configured to customer preference, including gauge type (analog or digital), gauge arrangements,
gauge size, units, and language.
Different software versions may have slightly different displays.
