4. Manual Operation
The panel’s Minimum Requested RPM and Maximum Requested RPM can
be configured using the CANplus
®
Suite Software, or via menus within the
display (if enabled by PIN). See Configuration section for more information.
4.2
Ramp Throttle
The standard Ramp Throttle uses a momentary rocker switch to adjust the requested engine speed.
All throttle requests are sent directly to the engine using CAN throttle control.
Throttle control requires CAN throttling to be enabled in the ECU. CAN
throttling is also known as Torque Speed Control or TSC1.
When first started the requested engine speed is Idle RPM.
•
Pressing and releasing the rabbit
icon increases the speed by the switch/rotary increment
value (default = 50 RPM).
•
Pressing and holding the rabbit
icon causes the speed to continue to increase (ramp) until
the maximum speed is achieved.
•
Pressing and releasing the turtle
icon decreases the speed by the switch increment value
(default = 25 RPM).
•
Pressing and holding the turtle
icon causes the speed to decrease (ramp) until the minimum
speed is achieved.
•
The CP640c will smoothly ramp the RPM up and down using the Max RPM change / s value
(500 default). This value can be changed in the
Throttle
Switch/Rotary
Max Change / s
menu.
4.3
Rotary Throttle Control
The optional Digital Rotary Throttle uses a rotary switch to simulate the operation of a throttle. When
the engine is first started, the requested engine speed is always Idle RPM. Turning the throttle knob
clockwise increases the requested engine speed by the switch/rotary increment value (default = 50
RPM). Turning the throttle knob counter-clockwise decreases the requested engine speed.
4.4
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine simply turn the key to the ”OFF”’ position. Do not use the Auxiliary Engine Stop
(if fitted) to stop the engine under normal conditions.
