4.1 Engine Logic
The Engine Logic settings determine how the controller starts and stops the generator. It gives the user
the functionality to add delays and timers to the sequences. Listed below some of the items are
switched outputs that are affected by Engine Logic functions. These must be configured in the
Switched
Outputs menu in order to function.
NOTE : To disable a delay or timer set it to 0 seconds.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Delay To Start
Amount of time to delay before starting the engine after the controller
receives a start signal.
Preheat
(Glowplug Output)
The glow plug output will turn on for this amount of time before
cranking occurs. During this time the fuel output is also turned on.
Crank Time
(Crank Output)
Amount of time the engine will crank before resting.
Mid Heat Time
(Glowplug Output)
Keeps glow plug output turned on while cranking but not during crank
rest. Output will turn off upon cranking failure, crank success or mid
heat time expiration.
Crank Rest Time Duration to rest before the next crank attempt.
Crank Attempts
Number of attempts the engine will try to crank before going into a
overcrank failure.
Fuel Crank Rest
(Fuel Output)
Determines if the fuel output is on or off during crank rest.
RPM Disconnect
(Crank Output)
The speed at which to disconnect the crank output because the
engine has started successfully.
Post Heat Time
(Glowplug Output)
Amount of time the glow plug output remains on after crank success
and the engine is running.
Warm Up Time
(Warmup Output)
Period of time after engine starts to warmup the engine. The Warmup
output becomes active after the Warm Up Time expires.
Cool Down Delay
(Cooldown Output)
Amount of time the cool down output is active after the controller
receives a shutdown signal. A switched output can be configured to be
active during 'Cool Down.' If the engine is shutdown by using the 'OFF'
button, 'Cool Down' will be bypassed.
ETS On Duration
(ETS Output)
Energize-To-Stop (ETS) will be turned on for a set amount of time after
'Cool Down' delay expires and before engine shut down. This is used
to shutdown certain types of engines.
The flowchart on the following page depicts the way the controller uses some of the the engine logic
settings to start and stop the engine.
