9.0 UNDERSTANDING THE HOME SCREENS
9.1 The home screens are a series of screens used to display several of the most
critical operating parameters. All of the home screens provide a status word on
the upper line and, typically, the engine speed on the second line, the suction
pressure on the third line, and the discharge pressure on the fourth line. Other
analog parameters may be programmed for the second, third and fourth lines.
The status line will read one of the following: TIMERS ACTIVE, RUNNING, TEST
XXX SEC, FAULT AL12, MANUAL STOP, AUTO START.
The LCD display always reverts to one of the home screens after a keypad opera-
tion is completed or the operation times out.
9.2 To manually start the engine, press the RESET button. The TIMERS ACTIVE
message will be displayed and remains until all Class B and Class C inputs have
been armed. During the time that the Class B and Class C timers are still active,
manually purge and crank the engine.

9.3 If the AUTO START option is selected when programming the system from the PC,
the display below will appear when the AUTO START sequence begins. The auto
start sequence allows for activation of an electrically controlled pre-lube pump for a
programmed time period prior to cranking. It is recommended that a warning horn or
flashing light be activated by the pre-lube output to inform any personnel which may
be present that a cranking attempt is about to begin. After this user programmed time
delay, cranking will begin. A user-programmable crank disconnect speed switch func-
tion will automatically disable the starter at the selected RPM. If the crank disconnect
RPM is not reached within a user programmed time period, and Multi-Start has not
been enabled, an OVERCRANK FAULT will be generated turning off the fuel and igni-
tion and disabling the starter until a new AUTO START command is received.

If Multi-Start has been enabled, the DE-3000 will automatically attempt an-
other AUTO START sequence if the crank disconnect RPM is not met within the
user-defined time. Once the AUTO START sequence has failed, a delay timer will
begin counting down before the system starts up again. During this delay time,
the display will flash red and yellow and state “RESTART PENDING-XXXs”, with
“XXX” being the time left before restart. Multi-Start can be configured for up to
4 start attempts (or a restart after 3 failed attempts).
