Autostart Operation
7.1 Prerequisites
The CP800 is capable of starting and stopping the engine based on external triggers and/or timed schedules.
Note:
It is important to note that the engine may start without warning or notice.
The CP800 is equipped with an Autostart warning alarm.
•
It is SOLELY the responsibility of the owner/installer/operator to provide warning labels, visible warnings
and audible warnings to notify the operator of an impending start-up
•
ALWAYS use lock-out/tag-out procedures prior to performing ANY service or configuration operations
•
DO NOT configure operator programmable features while the panel is in “AUTO” mode (green Autostart
light is illuminated)
7.2 Enabling Autostart
To place the panel in Autostart mode, turn the keyswitch clockwise to the ON position and press the momentary
Autostart switch in the upper left corner. The Autostart switch will illuminate with a green light, indicating the
panel is in the Autostart mode. CAN bus values will show “- - -” since the ECU is not energized at this time. The
display will power down after two minutes to reduce battery drain but the Autostart light will stay illuminated. The
power-down time can be configured using the Customizer software tool. When the selected start condition
occurs, the control panel will power up and attempt to start the engine after sounding the Autostart warning
alarm. When the engine has successfully started, the panel will control the engine speed following the
configurable throttle control profile (see the
section). The flexible throttle profile includes various
speeds and times for a variety of scenarios. When a stop condition exists, the panel will reduce the engine speed
as per the throttle profile and stop the engine. If the configured start condition returns before the shutdown
process is complete, the engine will not stop but rather will return to the required speed.
WARNING
AUTOMATIC START/STOP WARNING! WHEN THE AUTOSTART MODE IS ACTIVE AND A START
CONDITION EXISTS, THE PANEL WILL START IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT CONFIGURE THE
PANEL WHEN THE AUTOSTART MODE IS ACTIVE! ALWAYS USE LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT
PROCEDURES WHEN SERVICING AUTOSTART EQUIPMENT!
7.3 Autostart Menu
The CP800 has two switch inputs dedicated for use as Autostart inputs. The transducer input can also be
selected to control a start/stop set point.
