Section 4.3 PTO CONTROL WITH OVERSPEED PROTECTION
"PTO overspeed protection" can be achieved by using the upper disabling engine limit on the APCM. The PTO
output driver will be turned off whenever the actual engine RPM exceeds programmed upper limit. Keep in mind
the RPM values are engine speeds and proper conversion to PTO speed is necessary (refer to table below). If the
upper limit is programmed below normal engine idle speed (~650 RPM), the PTO output will not function.
Step 1 Program the PTO upper limit.
1. Go to main programming mode, press and hold [RPM CONTROL], [CHARGE PROTECT] & [FORD]
keys
2. Go to the Menu 4 by pressing the [FORD] key 3 times. "RPM" blinks in the upper right hand corner.
3. Adjust the RPM value with [ARROW] keys to the desired maximum allowable engine speed for PTO
mode.
4. Save and exit programming mode by pressing the [FORD] key twice.
Step 2 Activate the PTO Control output.
