Start Counter
Parameter 282
Start counter
set 00000
Counter; number of engine starts 0 to 32,749
The start counter is used to display how many times the engine has been started.
Following each starting attempt the start counter is increased by one. This permits
the user to display the correct number of starts if this controller is used on an older
engine, a starter is replaced, or this controller is to replace an older controller.
Only maintenance personnel should configure the start counter!
NOTE
If the engine start counter is to be changed from the factory default setting, the controller must be in
code level CS2. For safety reasons, the counter is set in a 2-step sequence.
The following sequence applies:
1. Step: Set and store the desired number of starts
2. Step: Integrate the value which has been saved by ...
-- Terminate the configuration mode and switch to automatic mode
-- Display the number of engine starts
-- Press and hold the "Digit" push-button for at least 5 seconds

• Visualize the kWh/MWh counter
• Press the "Digit" button for at least 5 seconds
