2 Overview
The LOFA CP1000 control panel is a manual and autostart platform for EPA Tier 3, EPA Tier 4
(interim), EPA Tier 4, and EU Stage V electronically governed diesel or natural gas engines. It can
also can control mechanically governed diesel engines. Graphical quad-gauge pages are displayed
on the 4.3-inch diagonal WQVGA (480x272 pixels) LCD. Virtually any SAE J1939 parameter reported
by the ECU (Engine Control Unit) can be displayed including, but not limited to: RPM, coolant
temperature, oil pressure, engine hours, voltage, exhaust emissions system state, and diagnostic
codes. The backlit display is clearly readable in both bright sunlight as well as total darkness and
housed in a rugged IP66 rated housing. The CP1000 has three (3) bright LEDs to indicate Faults
and Warnings, Emission-Related Alerts, and Autostart active. The Panel has five (5) display keys
that are associated with the dynammic Display Key bar and eight (8) control buttons.
The CP1000 panel features advanced automatic start/stop control which can meet almost any
requirement. Building on the functionality of the CP750 series platform, this next generation panel
offers many new start/stop modes using a very powerful, yet easily configured Event Manager, which
can start or stop based on any of the eight (8) digital inputs, six (6) 4-20mA analog transducer
inputs, Real Time Clock, or combinations of date/time and analog or digital inputs. With the use of a
transducer, the panel has a ”crusie control” feature that automatically throttles the engine to maintain
a configurable level. The panel can be configured to use any one of the transducer inputs for the
maintain/cruise control feature regardless if that input is also being used as a start or stop event.
All components are installed in a heavy-duty, vibration-isolated metal or NEMA-rated plastic enclosure
designed to withstand the most extreme industrial applications. External weather resistant switches
and controls facilitate convenient operator inputs/controls. Active fault conditions are displayed in
plain language on popup messages and can be viewed in the fault list. Various diagnostic screens
allow detailed investigation of the CAN bus data stream.
All diagnostic and emissions related messages displayed on the CP1000 are generated by the
engine ECU or other attached devices. The operator must be familiar with the engine manufacturer
ECU messages and icons in order to react accordingly with respect to emissions compliance, service,
and diagnostic message response.
