ECM System Parameters

The following is a listing of programmable parameters used by the ECM.

They may be changed via the Telecom Power Monitor (TPM). Refer to the

Telecom Power Monitor Technical Manual (p/n 744-781-B0) for additional

information.

4.5.1 Low DC Bus Level

Description:

If the power system battery voltage goes below this

threshold voltage for a certain period of time, the

ECM will start the generator.

Range:

0V to 127VDC

Default setting: 1.95 volts/cell

4.5.2 High DC Bus Level

Description:

If the power system battery voltage goes above this

threshold voltage for a certain period of time, the

ECM will shut down the generator.

Range:

0V to 127VDC

Default setting: 2.5 volts/cell

4.5.3 Service Interval

Description:

Number of engine run hours between required

services.

Range:

0 to 65535 hours

Default setting: 100 hours

4.5.4 Service Countdown

Description:

The number of engine run hours remaining until the

next periodic maintenance is required. This

parameter is reset to Service Interval when the

service timer reset button is depressed for at least

five seconds. Run time since last service is simply

Service Interval minus Service Countdown.

Range:

0 to 65535 hours

Default setting: N/A

4.5.5 Total Engine Runtime

Description:

This counter keeps track of total in-service hours on

the generator set. It can be programmed to an

initial value that matches a mechanical hour-meter

that is often found on the generator’s prime mover or

it can be used in place of such a meter.

Range:

0 to 65535 hours

Default setting: N/A
