e-Fan Cooling System Controllers
with J1939 Interface
Serial Communications
Controller monitoring, health checks, diagnostics and set-up can be accessed through the supplied GUI.
This program will operate on PC using a Windows® based operating system and is password protected
to maintain module parameter integrity by only allowing authorized users to access different levels of the
controller settings.
The interface is designed to be simple to use and follows the familiar Windows® menu format with drop
down option screens to select the various options available at the user level allowed.
Explanations of the screens are covered in detail, later in this guide.
Once the PC has been connected to a ‘live’ controller, and the GUI program started, a free
communications port will be allocated and communication with the GUI will begin.
Users running a computer without a 9 pin serial port MUST use one of the following approved
RS232/USB adaptors:
Manufacturer HCT Part Number Notes
CommFront 108-00119
CE certified
RoHS compliant
After communications have been established, the user will be presented with the initial information screen
that will give all the basic information needed to assess the health of the system.
Real time graphing is available to monitor a wide range of items (selectable from a drop down list) and for
remote diagnostics, a ‘Data Log’ button will start a Windows CSV file that can be used as a monitor for
comparison to other logged charts during the system’s life or can be E-mailed to an engineering source
for interpretation of system efficiency.
Passwords protect the settings of the module at all times and are needed to make any changes to the
operational parameters.
RS232 Serial Connection Cable: Part No- 999-10075
(see page 33 of this manual)
NOTE: The 4-pin shroud Weatherpack connector from the
controller has MALE pins, therefore the mating cable
needs to terminate in a Tower Weatherpack connector with
FEMALE pins.
