Annunciator Module



Illustration 3g02537977

General Information

The annunciator module is used to indicate various system events and conditions. The annunciator module uses indicator lights and an audible horn to give the operator information about the status of the system. The annunciator module can be used to announce faults and/or status signals to the operator. The annunciator module allows the operator to silence the horn. The annunciator module also allows the operator to acknowledge faults to the system.

There are 17 pairs of LED indicators on the front panel of the annunciator. Sixteen pairs of LED indicators are used to announce events, diagnostics, and ready signals. The 17th pair of LED indicators is used as a combined network/module status LED. The 17th pair of LED indicators can tell the operator if there is a problem with the J1939 data link connection.

Basic Operation

Each pair of LED indicators on the annunciator consists of two of the following three colors: green, yellow and red. For example, a pair of red and yellow LED indicators may be configured for engine oil pressure. If a low engine oil pressure warning is read over the data link, the annunciator will flash the yellow LED and the audible horn will sound. If the low engine oil pressure shutdown is read over the data link, the annunciator will flash the red LED and the audible horn will sound.

To acknowledge the shutdown and alarm conditions or to silence the horn, press the "Alarm Acknowledge" button that is located near the middle of the annunciator.

To test the LED indicators or to test the horn when the data link is connected or the data link is disconnected, hold in the "Lamp Test" button that is located near the top of the annunciator.

Configuration

The annunciator module can be customized to signal many different conditions that are related to the system. Each pair of LEDs must be configured by using the appropriate service tool. Once the service tool has been connected to the annunciator, the user must enter the "Configuration" screen. Each pair of LEDs has four settings: SPN, Trigger Type, Trigger Severity Level, and Failure Mode Identifier (FMI).

For detailed information about the annunciator module, see Systems Operation, Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjusting, UENR1210, "EMCP4.3/4.4".

Solar Battery Charging System



Illustration 5g03150859
(1) Solar array panel

Solar Array Panel - One solar array panel is located on the roof of the power module (1).

Check wire connections for tightness and corrosion, and exposed areas for chaffing and wear on a regular basis. Module surface may be cleaned as needed using a soap and water. Abrasive chemicals cannot be used in the cleaning of your solar module. As the combination of water and electricity produces a large shock hazard, disconnect your solar panel from the charge controller or battery prior to any cleaning process and always wear protective rubber gloves and rubber sole shoes when working with electricity.



Illustration 6g02704821

Controller - The solar battery charging controller is located inside the upper generator terminal box.

During normal operation, the "charging" LED should always be ON solid during sunlight to indicate the solar array is contributing power to the controller. Also, the "battery status" green LED (one on the left) should either be ON solid (indicating batteries fully charged) or blinking (solar is charging) and the other two "battery status" LEDs (yellow and red) should remain off.

Battery type selection for XQ product is number 2 (Sealed). Temperature sensor for batteries is not used on XQ product.

Battery Connection - Battery "+/-" has an uninterrupted connection to the batteries. A two-pin connector is located near the batteries to allow isolation from the solar charging system if desired. If the connector is unplugged, the red "battery status" LED will be "ON" solid.

Display Interface

The unit is equipped with display interface that provides touch screen control, and data logging. The display interface also provides the following capabilities:

  • Fuel level monitoring

  • Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level monitoring

  • High Exhaust System Temperature (HEST) indicator

  • Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) indicator

  • Soot level indicator


Illustration 7g03743880

Under normal operating conditions, the display interface would appear as shown in Illustration 7.



Illustration 8g03743888
(1) DEF tank level indicator

When the DEF tank level drops below 5%, the indicator (1) will begin to blink between yellow and white indicators. When the DEF tank level is below 3%, the level bar will be empty, but will have at least 2.5% usable volume still in the tank for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) inducement to begin.



Illustration 9g03743905
(2) Soot level indicator

The soot level indicator (2) is located in the lower middle portion of the screen. When pressed, the fuel level indication will be temporarily replaced by a soot level graph.

When the engine protection system detects a serious fault condition, a signal will indicate an approaching shutdown. The fuel level will be replaced with a message warning the operator that a shutdown will occur in 30 seconds. The operator can override the shutdown signal. The timer will begin to countdown and will only reset if the top portion of the screen is pressed, or the engine clears the fault.



Illustration 10g03743913
(3) HEST indicator

The HEST indicator is located in the lower left portion of the screen. When active, the indicator will be solid yellow in color.



Illustration 11g03743914
(4) Regeneration indicator/switch

The regeneration indicator and switch are located in the lower right of the screen. Press and hold the switch for 3 seconds to initiate manual regeneration. When active, the indicator will be solid yellow in color indicating regeneration is needed at the lowest level of urgency, and operator intervention is required. When the indicator flashes between yellow and white, a more severe condition is present, and a regeneration is needed.
