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.

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.

3.7 Service Timers
Once an alarm is silenced using the center display button, a QR-code icon will appear on this
button. This button provides access to LOFA’s Equipment Fault Code Diagnostic Information system
(www.lofa.net/Patents). Pressing this button again displays a QR-code specific to this alarm. The
QR-code can be scanned using the camera on most smart phones. When scanned, the phone
will give an option to automatically jump to LOFA’s RemoteIQ (RiQ) Fault website. The website will
automatically pull up the details for this particular fault and possible remedies.
The panel’s display provides sixteen (16) service timers to alert the operator of required maintenance.
The time interval for each timer can be adjusted in increments of ten (10) hours. A popup message
is displayed after the display’s self-test if a timer (or timers) has expired alerting the user that service
is required. The message is displayed on each power up until the elapsed timer is disabled or
reset. The service timers can have their respective names customized to monitor engine- and
machine-related parameters. All sixteen (16) service timers can be monitored via wireless telemetry.
Only active faults are displayed in the alarm list. Once a fault is corrected it
is automatically removed from the list. To view previously active faults press
the ”STORED” button.
3.8 Menus
The menu pages can be accessed by pressing button 5. The top-level menu page will then appear.
