Autostart Operation
6.1
Prerequisites
The CP1000 is capable of starting and stopping the engine or motor based on external triggers and/or timed
schedules.
Note:
It is important to note that the engine or motor may start without warning or notice.
The CP1000 is equipped with an Autostart warning alarm.
•
It is SOLELY the responsibility of the owner/installer/operator to provide warning labels,
visible warnings and audible warnings to notify the operator of an impending start-up
•
ALWAYS use lock-out/tag-out procedures prior to performing ANY service or configuration
operations
•
DO NOT configure operator programmable features while the panel is in “AUTO” mode
(green Autostart light is illuminated)
6.2
Enabling Autostart
To place the panel in Autostart mode, turn the key switch clockwise to the ON position and press the AUTO
button. The Autostart ICON will illuminate, indicating the panel is in the Autostart mode. CAN bus values will
show “- - -” since the ECU is not energized at this time. The display will power down after two minutes to reduce
battery drain but the Autostart light will stay illuminated. The power-down time can be adjusted through Display ,
under the Display menu with an Admin level access. When the selected start condition occurs, the control panel
will power up and attempt to start the engine or motor after sounding the Autostart warning alarm. When the
engine or motor has successfully started, the panel will control the speed following the configurable throttle
control profile (see the
section). The flexible throttle profile includes various speeds and times for a
variety of scenarios. When a stop condition exists, the panel will reduce the speed as per the throttle profile and
stop the engine or motor. If the configured start condition returns before the shutdown process is complete, the
engine or motor will not stop but rather will return to the required speed.
WARNING
AUTOMATIC START/STOP WARNING! WHEN THE AUTOSTART MODE IS ACTIVE AND A START
CONDITION EXISTS, THE PANEL WILL START IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT CONFIGURE THE
PANEL WHEN THE AUTOSTART MODE IS ACTIVE! ALWAYS USE LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT
PROCEDURES WHEN SERVICING AUTOSTART EQUIPMENT!
