This parameter allows the use of either a Stop solenoid or a Fuel solenoid. (See Section 5.1.10
Engine Starting.)
If Fuel Solenoid selected, the fuel solenoid will be energised while the engine is running and de-
energised to cut off the fuel and stop the engine.
If Stop Solenoid selected, the stop solenoid is normally de-energised and only energised to stop
the engine. The solenoid remains energised for the period defined as the Stop Magnet
Energising Time (P17). See Section 5.1.10 Engine Starting.
This parameter sets the period for which the Stop solenoid is energised to stop the engine. It
applies only where parameter Stop / Fuel Solenoid Selection (P16) is set to Stop Solenoid. See
Section 5.1.6 Stop/Fuel Solenoid Selection (P16)
5.1.6 Stop / Fuel Solenoid Selection (P16)
5.1.7 Stop Magnet Energising Time (P17)
Battery Voltage Weak Limit (P19)
Battery Voltage Weak Control Time (P20)
If the battery voltage drops below the level specified by the Battery Voltage Weak Limit (P19) for
more than the Battery Voltage Weak Control Time (P20) during engine cranking an alarm occurs.
The message Weak Battery is displayed on the LED display. Use the Reset Button to clear the
alarm indication.

5.1.8 Engine Started Signals (P18)
25
The unit must de-energise the Start solenoid to disconnect the starter motor, once the engine is
running. Conversely, if the engine does not start after the pre-set start time, the unit will turn off the
starter motor and try again. Hence, the unit must be able to detect when the engine has started.
Four signals are available to provide engine running information as follows :
0.
Charge generator (P18.0); f r o. m charging generator energising coil current.
1.
Speed (P18.1); if engine speed is higher than Speed Limit for Crank Disconnection (P22), pay
attention to the Speed Sensing Input Selection (P15) (Refer to 5.1.8)
2.
Alternator Voltage (P18.2); if alternator voltage is higher than Alternator Voltage Limit for Crank
Disconneciton (P21)
3.
Oil pressure (P18.3); it looks if oil pressure switch is closed.
Any or all of these signals can be selected for use. It is advisable to select at least two of them
–preferably 1. Engine speed, 2. Charging generator or Alternator voltage.
See Section 5.1.10 Engine Starting. If any of the selected signals appears, the unit assumes that
the engine has started.
