Alarms
The Display System has built-in warnings to alert the driver
when certain parameters either exceed or fall below their alarm
values. For example, a warning is signalled if the fuel pressure
falls below its alarm value or if the oil temperature rises above its
alarm value. You can adjust the preset alarm levels when you
configure the Display System. See Chapter 4, Configuring the
Display System in this manual.
Some of the warnings (see the following table) are triggered only
while the engine speed exceeds its "gate value" for RPM for at
least one second. Blipping the engine should not be enough to
trigger a warning. The gate value is a predefined RPM value that
is used to control when the system is to trigger a warning. This
is to prevent abnormal warnings from being triggered when, for
example, the engine is either not running, is idling or is being
warmed up.
(The oil pressure alarm will come on at power-up until the
engine is started and pressure exceeds the threshold set for the
alarm.)
The Display System has the following built-in alarms:
Parameter Alarm is triggered when the: Gated to RPM
Oil Temperature Current value exceeds the preset
value Yes
Water Temperature Current value exceeds the preset
value Yes
Oil Pressure Current value drops below the
preset value No
Fuel Pressure Current value drops below the
preset value Yes
Battery Voltage Current value drops below the
preset value No
