Operating Hours Counter
NOTE
If the unit is equipped with Option SC10, and the MDEC or J1939 coupling is enabled as well, the oper-
ating hours will be taken over from the engine control unit. Please refer to manual 37382 for further in-
formation.
Parameter 279
Set oper.hours
counter 00000h
Counter; operating hours counter 0 to 65,000 h
This parameter can be used to specify the number of hours an engine has been in
operation. This permits the user to display the correct number of engine hours if the
controller is retrofitted to an older engine or the controller is replacing an older
controller.
NOTE
If the operating hours counter is to be changed from the factory default value, the controller must be in
code level CS2 before the change can be made. For safety reasons, the counter is set in a 2-step se-
quence.
The following sequence applies:
Step 1: Configure new value
-- Set and store the desired operating hours
Step 2: Integrate the new operating hours
-- Terminate the configuration mode and switch to AUTOMATIC mode
-- Display the operating hours
-- Press and hold the "Digit" button for at least 5 seconds.
Start Counter
Parameter 280
Set start
counter 00000
Counter; number of engine starts 0 to 32,000
The start counter is used to display how many starts of the engine have been at-
tempted. Following each starting attempt (successful or not) the start counter is in-
creased by one. This parameter permits the user to display the correct number of
starts if this controller is retrofitted to an older engine, a starter is replaced, or this
controller is replacing 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 value, the controller must be in
code level CS2 before the change can be made. For safety reasons, the counter is set in a 2-step se-
quence.
The following sequence applies:
Step 1: Configure new value
-- Set and store the desired number of starts
Step 2: Integrate the new number of starts
-- Terminate the configuration mode and switch to AUTOMATIC mode
-- Display the number of engine starts
-- Press and hold the "Digit" button for at least 5 seconds
