The RUN Menu  

 
As soon as the ECU is switched on, the default run menu is displayed. 
 
Before starting the engine, the default display appears like this. The first line displays 
the temperature in degrees Celsius, glow plug bad icon (flashing), remote mode icon, 
failsafe icon and RPM in thousands. The second line displays battery voltage, remaining 
battery voltage icon and the “

OC:

” Off Condition.

During the start sequence of the engine, the “

OC:

” will be over written with all the 

different states during the start process until the engine is at idle (green LED is on). The 
battery voltage will change to pump voltage as well.  
 
When the engine is in the RUN State, the display will be as follows -> 
  

 610        0.0

RPM equivalent to 
where the throttle stick 
is currently positioned 

Pump voltage 

Remaining battery 
voltage icon. 

Current Temp. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The pump voltage display is useful to monitor the voltage under full power. If this value 
begins to increase over time, it may be an indication that the fuel filter is clogging. Make 
note of the maximum voltage at full power for future reference. 
 
When the engine is shut-off, the display changes back to the pre-start version. The Off 
Condition can then be check for why the engine was shut-off. 

R/C Off 

is the normal 

state when the user stops the engine.
