6. Autostart Operation
6 Autostart Operation
6.1 Prerequisites
The CP1000 is capable of starting and stopping the engine based on external triggers and/or timed
schedules. It is important to note that: The engine may start without warning or notice. The CP1000
is equipped with an Autostart warning alarm.
•
It is SOLELY the responsibility of the owner/installer/operator to provide warning labels, visible
warnings, and audible warnings to notify the operator of an impending start-up.
•
ALWAYS use lockout/tag out procedures prior to performing ANY service or configuration
operations.
•
DO NOT configure operator programmable features while the panel is in ”AUTO” mode (green
Autostart light illuminated).
6.2 Enabling Autostart
To place the panel in Autostart mode, turn the key switch clockwise to the ON position and press
the AUTO button. The Autostart ICON will illuminate with a indicating the panel is in the Autostart
mode. CAN bus values will show ”- - -” since the ECU is not energized at this time. The display will
power down after two minutes to reduce battery drain but the Autostart light will stay illuminated. The
power-down time can be configured using the Customizer software tool. When the selected start
condition exists, the control panel will power up and attempt to start the engine after sounding the
Autostart warning alarm. When the engine has successfully started, the panel will control the engine
speed following the configurable throttle control profile (see Ramp Profile section). The flexible
throttle profile includes various speeds and times for a variety of scenarios. When a stop condition
exists, the panel will reduce the engine speed as per the throttle profile and stop the engine. If the
configured start condition returns before the shutdown process is complete, the engine will not stop
but rather will return to the required speed.
Automatic start/stop Warning! When the Autostart mode is active and a
start condition exists, the panel will start immediately! Do not configure
the panel when the Autostart mode is active! Always use lock out/tag-out
procedures when servicing autostart equipment!
6.3 Autostart Menu
The CP1000 has two (2) switch inputs dedicated for use as Autostart inputs. The transducer input
can also be selected to control a start/stop set point.
