5.5.1 Cummins Electronic Engine Idle Mode
For Cummins electronic engines the GSC400 will control the engine using the J1939
speed control feature. Whenever the Idle Mode digital input is active the GSC400 will
send a command over J1939 to put the engine into idle. See section 5.12.1 of page 39 for
more information. To program this feature using the GSC400 front panel menu see
section. 6.1.2 on page 52.
5.6 Generator Starting and Stopping
The GSC400 startup and shutdown behavior can be set by the user from the Advanced
menu (password protected) such as the amount of time to wait before starting, whether to
preheat and for how long, the crank time, etc. See sections 6.5.1
Startup Sequence and
6.5.2 Shutdown Sequence starting on page 62 for more information on the options for
starting and stopping the generator respectively.
5.7 Controller Sleep
The controller has a low power Sleep Mode that it can enter when in the OFF or AUTO
states. In this state the LCD screen backlighting is turned off. The time it takes to enter
Sleep Mode is configurable in the menu. It is recommended that the Sleep Delay is set as
short as possible to prolong the life of the backlighting and to reduce battery
consumption.
The backlight display will illuminate automatically when a key is pressed. A key press
will only cause the controller to exit the Sleep Mode. The key must be pressed again to
perform its normal function.
