21.2 Alerts
The configuration of alerts allows the programming of sound and
visual alerts whenever a dangerous situation to the engine is detected.
It is possible to setup up to three different actions when any alert is
displayed on the screen:
Alert only:
alert is displayed on the screen, but the engine continues
to work normally.
Safe mode:
besides the alert displaying on the screen, engine has its
max RPM limited to what was set up on the “Safe mode rev limiter”
parameter
Engine shut off:
besides the alert displayed on the screen, engine
is immediately shut off by fuel and ignition cut
Shift alert
When engine reaches the RPM set on this parameter, an alert can be
shown at the dashboard and/or an auxiliary output can be activated
to control an external shift light.
