4.3 Remote Digital Gauge
The digital gauge allows for remote starting/stopping
and monitoring of certain generator set functions. See
Figure 4-4. (The remote digital gauge does not display
oil pressure for model 15/30RYG generator sets.) The
generator
set has a 12-pin customer-interface
connector for connection to the remote digital gauge.
Refer to TT-1379 for instructions to install, connect, and
operate the remote digital gauge.
The ADC 2100 communications parameter Cn must be
set to Cn01 to communicate with the gauge.
See
Section 5.3.
If the ADC 2100 is configured for a CAN gauge
(communications parameter setting Cn01 or Cn02), the
controller remains powered continuously to maintain
communication with the gauge. If the ADC 2100 is not
configured
for a CAN gauge (communications
parameter setting Cn00), the controller will power down
after 48 hours of no activity.
ADC 2100 application program version 1.14 or higher is
required for the remote digital gauge. Refer to TT-1285,
Program Loader Instructions, for instructions to load the
latest version of the controller application code, if
necessary.

Use one or more remote extension harness kits to
connect the gauge to the generator set. Do not use
more than 3 remote harness kits and do not exceed
22.86 m (75 ft.) in harness length. See Figure 4-5 for kit
selection.

4.4 Block Heaters
Block heaters are available as installed accessories on
all generator sets. Use block heaters on all standby
applications where the generator set is subject to
temperatures below 16
°
C (60
°
F). Connect the block
heater to a power source that is energized when the
generator set is not running.
Note: Block heater damage. The block heater will fail
if the energized heater element is not immersed
in coolant. Fill the cooling system before turning
on the block heater. Run the engine until it is
warm and refill the radiator to purge the air from
the system before energizing the block heater.
