Controller Configuration - Kohler 5ECD Service Manual

4.11.2 Controller Configuration

The controller configuration for each generator model is
set at the factory and should not normally require
changes. The controller's configuration mode allows
adjustment of the system parameters listed in this
section. Use the instructions in this section to check the
configuration after installation and change them to
match the settings shown in Figure 4-18, if necessary.
The controller will automatically exit the configuration
mode without saving any changes after about 1 minute
if no buttons are pressed.
procedure over again from the beginning if the controller
exits the configuration mode before the settings have
been saved.
Follow the instructions in Figure 4-21 to enter the
configuration mode while the engine is not running and
then step through the following parameters. Use the up
∧ ∨
( ) and down ( ) arrow buttons to select the appropriate
setting for the application.
Voltage/frequency setting (Uu). Select the system
voltage and frequency from the table in Figure 4-18. For
system voltages not listed in the table, select the setting
closest to the system voltage and then adjust the output
voltage to the desired level using the instructions in
Section 4.11.1.
Note: This parameter sets the nominal system voltage
and frequency. To adjust the output (measured)
voltage, see Section 4.11.
Unit configuration (Uc).
generator set type: marine, standby, or mobile. The
setting for the 5/7.3ECD and 4/6EFCD is Uc00, marine.
TP-6391 9/08
Start the configuration
This parameter sets the
Engine configuration (Ec). The engine configuration
must match the generator set engine type. The engine
configuration setting for the 5/7.3ECD and 4/6EFCD is
Ec04.
Advanced configuration mode (Adnc). The data
input types, battery voltage, and communications
setting can be changed in the advanced configuration
mode. Press the up arrow button when Adnc is
displayed to enter the advanced configuration mode.
Engine data input types (Ed). This setting defines the
type of senders used on the generator set engine. Use
Ed00 for the 5/7.3ECD and 4/6EFCD.
The remote digital gauge requires the optional analog oil
pressure sender. Install the optional sender and change
the Ed parameter to Ed02.
Battery voltage (Bt). This setting toggles between 12
and 24 VDC for the engine starting battery voltage. The
5/7.3ECD and 4/6EFCD uses a 12-volt battery, Bt12.
Communications setting (Cn). This setting allows the
user to set the controller for communication with
optional meters. The 5/7.3ECD and 4/6EFCD is
factory-set for CAN communications, Cn02.
Note: Be sure to save your settings before exiting the
configuration mode. The controller reverts to the
last saved settings when the master switch is
moved to the OFF/RESET position.
