Main Menu
The MPC-20 controller is incredibly versatile within the menu structure. The operator is able to change many
parameters and settings from the face without the need of a PC tool, if desired. The controller has to be in its
stopped state in order to change a setting in the menu. (The Tier 4 menu is the exception.) Described below are
the main sections of the controller’s menu. Cycling power to the controller is recommended after making
changes to set points.
(Main Menu, page 1)
System
The controller System menu provides the operator with the ability to set the Date/Time, Units, Language,
Brightness, Contrast, Service Reminders and several other system settings. Review System under the Menu
Glossary section of this manual for a full list and definition of each setting.
Engine Settings
The Engine Settings menu allows the operator to establish common, user-configurable parameters that would be
changed from factory-default settings when pairing the controller to an engine. This menu allows the operator to
choose whether the engine is J1939 or mechanical; the engine’s speed source; the minimum and maximum RPM
the operator requires/allows the engine to run; the RPM step size; warm-up/cool-down settings; and other common
engine settings. Review Engine Settings under the Menu Glossary section of this manual for a full list and definition
of each setting.
Advanced Engine Settings
The Advanced Engine Settings menu allows the operator to set up the less common user-configurable parameters
that are not in the Engine Settings menu and which would be changed from factory-default settings when pairing
the controller to an engine. This menu allows the operator to set items such as the J1939 address claim for the
controller, ECU Source Address, ECU hour select, crank attempts, crank disconnect speed, clutch
engage/disengage speed, run to destruct mode and other user-specific engine settings. Review Advanced Engine
Settings under the Menu Glossary section of this manual for a full list and definition of each setting.
