E Option Control Panels
E CONTROL PANEL DEFINITIONS
Please refer to the following list for an explanation of
terms used in various charts throughout the manual:
• ALWAYS: With this option selected, the alarm is
active regardless of the state of the generator.
• ANALOG INPUT: An analog input to the E control
panel is a voltage sourced input with a zero volt to
10-volt range.
• DIGITAL INPUT: A digital input to the E control
panel is NOT a voltage sourced input, but a dry
contact closure to ground. Voltage should never be
sourced to a digital input.
• DISABLED: If this option is selected, the alarm is
disabled and has no effect.
• HIGH: A high signal to a digital input is
open circuit.
• HOLD OFF: This option waits until a preset time
after the generator is running before becoming
active. The hold off time can be set by the user.
Note that the hold off time is common to
all alarms.
• IMMEDIATE: In this mode, the alarm is not active
when the generator is stationary. It becomes active as
soon as the generator starts to crank and remains
active until the generator stops.
• LATCHED: When the alarm condition occurs, the
audible alarm sounds, the LED and back light
flash as before, and the user must accept the alarm
to stop them. The alarm will continue to be dis-
played on the screen even after the alarm condition
has cleared. The user must either press the Reset
key or turn the key-switch to the OFF position to
clear the alarm after the alarm condition has
cleared. This type of alarm is logged.
• LOW: A low signal to a digital input is a contact clo-
sure to ground.
• NON-LATCHED: This type of warning will activate
the audible alarm, and flash the alarm LED and
display back light. The associated message will be
displayed on the screen. When the user accepts the
warning (by pressing the Enter key), the back light
will stop flashing, and the alarm LED will be on
continuously. The message will be displayed on the
alarm screen, but the user will be able to scroll
through other screens. The LED and message will
clear when the warning condition clears. This type
of warning is logged.
• SHUTDOWN: This type of alarm will act similar to
the latched alarm, but it also will stop the engine
when the alarm condition occurs. It can be reset
only by turning the key-switch to the OFF position.
All shutdown alarms are latching, and this type of
alarm is logged.
• STATUS: This type of alarm will display a message
on the screen. The message will not be logged. This
is the lowest priority of alarm types.
• USER INPUT: Any of the eight digital or two ana-
log inputs reserved for customer options.
