THROTTLE CONFIGURATION 

The speed control behavior of the engine can be changed under the Throttle Configuration menu.  
Selection of throttle type, minimum operating and maximum operating speeds and other details as 
well can be set here.  See Speed Control Options for more details. 

 

 

 

ENGINE SAFETY CONFIGURATION 

The module can provide warnings, shutdowns, deceleration, and other behaviors based for the critical 
engine parameters of oil pressure, coolant temperature, engine speed, fuel level and battery voltage.  
Simply select the parameter in questions and set the thresholds and actions desired.  In the example 
below, a warning will be annunciated when the fuel level drops below 20%.  If the level drops below 
1% for 5 seconds, the engine will be shut down.
