Switching from Electric to Diesel
If the unit is running in Electric Mode and the
Electric to Diesel Auto-Switch Enabled feature in
Guarded Access is set YES then the unit will
automatically switch to Diesel Mode operation
when standby power is no longer available. The
screens shown below will not appear.
If the Diesel to Electric Auto-Switch Enabled
feature in Guarded Access is set NO and standby
power is disconnected or fails, the unit will not
automatically switch to Diesel mode. This is
primarily designed to prevent unauthorized diesel
engine starts when the truck is indoors or on a
ferry where engine operation is strictly prohibited.
From the Standard Display, press the MENU Key
(Figure 143).

Diesel Mode operation. If the unit is switched
back to Electric Mode these alarms again become
Shutdown Alarms.
