LOFA panel applicability, machine guarding, general safety guidelines, labeling, and warnings. The installer of this LOFA panel and/or LOFA harness is responsible for the correct sizing and integration of a suitable fuse/breaker on the un-switched DC circuit supplying power to the LOFA panel.
2. Overview 2 Overview The LOFA CP640c control panel is an economical platform for EPA Tier 3, EPA Tier 4 (interim), and EPA Tier 4 electronically governed diesel engines. Graphical gauge pages or a single large analog gauge are displayed on the 3.5-inch diagonal LCD. Virtually any SAE J1939 parameter reported...
The display has a number of back-lighting levels allowing the display to be read in the dark. The level is adjusted by pressing buttons 1 (decrease) or button 2 to (increase) illumination. Contrast is adjusted in the same manner using buttons 3 and 4. Page 6 LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 6...
Analog Gauge Pages provide four (4) independently configurable pages of analog gauges. To enable Analog Gauge Pages, press any of the first four (4) buttons to show the top level button bar and then press button 1 to cycle through the pages. LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 7...
2 to cycle through the pages. The sixteen (16) gauges are the same for Analog and Digital Gauge Pages. Adjustments in either Analog Gauge Pages or Digital Gauge Pages affect the same gauge in the other mode. Page 8 LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 8...
An alarm indicator is displayed near the upper right corner of the display as long as alarms are active. The indicator and alarm messages in the list are automatically removed when the alarm has not been received for a few seconds. LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 9...
The menus pages can also be accessed by pressing and holding the optional Rotary Control using LOFA’s RotaryPlus™ technology: • Push and hold the rotary for one (1) second to open menus main page • Move down through the menu choices with clockwise rotations Page 10 LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 10...

Once an access level is granted, that level is retained until the key is turned off. When the key is turn back to the ON position, the access level reverts back to User and follows the Menu PIN Required setting. Page 14 LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 14...
900 RPM. In this case, the engine will not run at 800 RPM despite the CP640c control panel requesting a lower engine speed. The ECU will ignore all RPM requests that are below 900 RPM, resulting in a minimum speed of 900 RPM. LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 15...
4.4 Stopping the Engine To stop the engine simply turn the key to the ”OFF”’ position. Do not use the Auxiliary Engine Stop (if fitted) to stop the engine under normal conditions. Page 16 LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 16...
Run RPM Selects the RPM the control system will request for run speed. The run speed is the normal operating speed. LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 17...

RPM and time profiles. When the Cooldown period is over, the panel will automatically shut down the engine and the LED will turn off. Page 18 LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 18...
CANplus Software Suite, which is LOFA’s proprietary configuration software. The software suite is meticulously maintained and regularly updated. These free updates include software enhancements and new functionality, and they ensure compatibility with evolving technologies. The latest update can be found at http://www.lofa.net/updates/.
The CP640c introduces the ability to import and export configurations using a USB drive avoiding ® the need to purchase and have onsite a LOFA CANplus Config kit as well as disconnecting the panel from the engine. The panels USB port can be accessed by simply removing the four (4) front faceplate screws.
Use twisted shielded pair with a drain wire for CAN wiring terminated with 120 resistors at each end. The maximum length for the CAN bus is 131 feet (40 m) and stubs should not exceed 39 inches (1m) in length. 6.2.1 Typical J1939 Wiring Topology LOFA document No. 463-3002-22 Page 21...
LOFA does not recommend using dielectric grease or sealant with sealed connectors. These chemicals may cause seal damage and allow water entry. Use LOFA provided cavity plugs to seal the connector if wires are removed. 6.2.4 Unsealed Connectors For unsealed connectors exposed to the elements, LOFA recommends using dielectric grease to protect contacts.

6. Miscellaneous Disconnecting the battery while the engine is running may result in damage to electrical components. When using a battery disconnect switch, LOFA recommends using a 2 pole switch to disconnect both the battery and alternator output. A maximum of three ring terminals should be connected to a power stud in order to ensure integrity of the connection.
