IMS2, IMS3, IMS4, IMS5 Operator Manual

Revision F
22
ZeroIDLE Mode prevents the IMS from starting the engine
automatically. This allows the operator to use the IMS in designated
“No Idle” zones. ZeroKEY Mode automatically engages when ZeroIDLE
Mode is active.
•
To engage ZeroIDLE Mode, the vehicle must be in Park, the hood
must be closed, and the IMS must be active.
•
Press F1.
•
The ZeroIDLE icon will turn green.
•
ZeroIDLE Mode is now engaged. The IMS will not start the engine.
NOTICE: IMS bypass functionality is fully operational from all locations
while in ZeroIDLE Mode. When the engine is started by one of the vehicle’s
bypass options, the engine will remain on indefinitely until manually
stopped by one of the following means: 1) disengaging the Remote Start
switch; 2) pressing the brake pedal; or 3) turning the ignition off.
•
When ZeroIDLE Mode is engaged, press F1 or the brake pedal to turn
the mode off.
•
The ZeroIDLE icon will turn white.
•
If (while in ZeroIDLE Mode) the IMS senses a condition that would
require the chassis engine to start, a message requesting the
operator start the engine will be displayed for five minutes (or until
a critical condition is met) and the IMS will shut down all HVAC
functionality (excluding the blower) to conserve energy.
•
Once the five-minute warning has passed, the IMS will shut down in
its entirety to prevent any damage to its battery packs. If this occurs,
the system must be rebooted using the rescue switch; a reboot is not
necessary if ZeroKEY Mode is active.
NOTICE: If ZeroIDLE Mode is turned off using the F1 softkey within the
five-minute warning window, the engine will start immediately.
•
If a critical condition is detected, the screen will display the message
“Powering Down” and will shut down within 10 seconds. If this
occurs, the engine must be run; a reboot is not necessary if ZeroKEY
Mode is active.
If ZeroKEY Mode is active (green icon) and the key is removed from
the Run position, ZeroIDLE Mode will override the ZeroKEY Mode
auto-start function and the chassis will power down completely. If the
system completely powers down, reinsert the key into the ignition
and turn it to the Run position to restore power.
ZeroKEY Mode should always be used in conjunction with ZeroIDLE
Mode. If the IMS powers down while in ZeroIDLE Mode and the key is
left in the Run position, the operator could be left with a dead chassis
battery due to leaving the key in the Run position with nothing to
manage the load/power consumption.
