SECTION 2 - OPERATION

Doing either one of these two items will allow the engine coolant temperature to drop below 106_C (222_ F), where normal horsepower level will resume.

If the Operator takes no action to cool the engine down (reduce load or stop tractor motion and run engine unloaded), the engine coolant temperature will continue to increase. The module will continue the proportional derate of 2% power decrease for each 1_C (1_ F) of coolant temperature above 106_C (222_ F).

When the engine coolant temperature reaches

 

109_C (228_ F), the module will have reached a

 

full 20 % derate level for engine power output.

 

The engine coolant temperature light, 1, will

 

illuminate. The audible alarm will beep rapidly

 

for 10 seconds with the word “STOP” flashing in

 

the upper portion of the monitor. The lower

 

portion of the monitor will flash all of the symbols

 

related to the rotary select switch. Any

 

numerical display in the lower portion of the

1

monitor, regardless of the position of the rotary

 

select switch, will be gone. This is called the

 

pre--alarm sequence of the monitor. During the

 

10--second time period of the pre-alarm

 

sequence, the Operator can press the

 

acknowledge/reset button on the dash panel.

 

This will stop the EICS in the pre-alarm stage

 

and keep it from progressing into the full critical

 

alarm stage. The engine will continue to run, but

 

the EICS will stay in the pre-alarm stage. The

 

Operator can cool the engine down by reducing

 

the load or by stopping the tractor motion and

 

allow the engine to run unloaded.

 

ATTENTION: If the high engine coolant temperature warning sequence is stopped in the pre--alarm stage and the engine is continued to be run in a loaded condition, the coolant temperature will continue to raise above 109_C (228_ F). Serious engine damage can result from running the engine in this condition. It is imperative that the high coolant temperature condition be corrected and investigated as soon as possible so as to avoid serious engine damage.
