Consider the operator when locating the module. Ease of access to the unit, keys and display are all critical in allowing the operator to successfully and safely operate the module. Extension harnesses are available from Controls, Inc. if the engine harness being used does not allow for proper location selection.
QUICK SETUP During initial installation, each control panel will need to be configured to work properly with the type of engine it is being installed on. As engine ecu’s have become more complex this set has become critical to ensure proper operation for your engine. The Quick Setup menu is located under the Controller Setup menu and contains…...
OPERATION POWER UP Turn on the power to the module. The display will illuminate and show the module part number version in the upper left status line and the graphical logo will be centered in the screen. The LED indicators will turn on for one second to verify operation. Warning Lamp Stop Lamp Mode...
MANUAL OFF After the Power Up cycle is complete, the module will be in the Manual Off mode as shown in the upper left status line and the corresponding red LED indicator above the Off key.
MANUAL STARTING RUN KEY Press the green RUN key. If a preheat cycle is programmed in the display, or requested by the engine’s ECU, the status line will indicate a Wait to Start message or Preheat Countdown. Once completed, the status line will show Ready to Start. Press and Hold the green RUN key.
SAFETY BYPASS Immediately after the engine begins to run, the module will enter the “Safety Bypass” period. This time period is typically set to 10 seconds and is programmable. During this period, any engine parameter set to be monitored as RUN will be ignored until the bypass period is passed, at which point the safeties will become active.
SPEED CONTROL - ELECTRONIC ENGINES The display can control the engine’s speed using J1939 Torque Speed Control (TSC1). When the engine is started manually, the control panel will request the minimum programmed speed. Pressing the Up-arrow key will cause the panel to increase the requested speed. The display will place an up or down arrow to the right of the RPM displayed to indicate that a change in speed is being requested.
STOPPING THE ENGINE When it comes time to stop the engine, simply press the red OFF key. This will de-energize the fuel solenoid on mechanical engines or the engine ECU Run/Stop circuit on electronic engines. In some cases, the module will send an engine STOP command over the J1939 CAN Bus to shut down the engine.
SPEED CONTROL OPTIONS ELECTRONIC ENGINE SPEED CONTROL The display can control the engine’s speed using J1939 Torque Speed Control (TSC1). When the engine is started manually, the control panel will request the minimum programmed speed. Pressing the Up-arrow key will cause the panel to increase the requested speed. The display will place an up or down arrow to the right of the RPM displayed to indicate that a change in speed is being requested.
The control panels TSC address and the engine’s ECU address must match. Most major engine manufacturer’s TSC addresses are loaded into the control panel when that engine manufacturer is selected in the Quick Setup. However, there may be instances where ECU programming may vary. The control does have the ability to change the TSC address manually in the CAN Configuration menu.
TSC VERNIER THROTTLE TSC Vernier is the most popular throttle selection when operating in the manual start mode. The operator can control the engine speed anywhere between the programmed speed range. This throttle type allows you to set the minimum engine speed, maximum engine speed, ramp rate, curve type and bump speed increments without the use of a computer.
TSC BUMP The operator can control the engine speed anywhere between the programmed speed range. However, changes in speed are limited to single presses of the Rabbit and Turtle keys. Each press will change the requested RPM by the programmed Bump speed. TSC MULTISTATE THROTTLE Another widely used throttle type in manual mode allows the operator to increment the engine speed between predetermined speed settings by pressing the Rabbit or Turtle keys.
MODBUS THROTTLE Engine speed can be requested through the modules RS485 MODBUS interface. Contact Controls, Inc. for a complete register map. The example for speed control is below. Use of 40004 or 40051 is...
The main module must be configured as the Primary, while the remaining modules should be set to remote. TWIST THROTTLE KNOB The TT-100 throttle knob is available to work with Controls, Inc. modules as well. Contact CI for more details.

PROTECTION OPTIONS ECU SAFETY SHUTDOWNS AND WARNINGS Once the engine is started, the engine’s ECU has primary control over the operation of the engine under safe conditions. If the ECU detects that any of its critical parameters are out of tolerance, the ECU can take a variety of actions, including derating of the engine horsepower or complete engine shut down.
Page 25
MODULE SAFETY SHUTDOWNS AND WARNINGS The control panel also has the ability to monitor the engine vitals if configured. The ability to set pre alarms and alarms in the panel is supported to back up the ECUs safeties in the event the ECU shutdowns were not enabled or a more conservative setting is desired.
LOW POWER (SLEEP) MODE A low power mode is available to allow the module to minimize power consumption during times when the panel is on, but the engine is not running. This may occur simply because an operator has left the key on without starting the engine or the engine had been running, but was shut down due to a fault condition such as high engine temperature, low oil pressure, low fuel level, over speed or any other monitored switch input such as a low coolant level switch.
Page 27
OTHER MODULE FUNCTIONALITY STANDARD FEATURES The control panel has many options that can be configured, enabled or selected that will enhance the operation of the equipment. A list of items is below with descriptions on the selection and use of each.
Page 28
AUDIBLE HORN An alarm horn can be driven from a relay output to annunciate alarm conditions and/or a pre-start warning on auto start applications. When a relay is assigned to any Horn function, the Enter key will be used the silence the horn. SHUTDOWN OVERRIDE The module contains logic that can be enabled to provide a safety shutdown override.
Page 29
AUTO START OPERATION GENERAL INFORMATION The XL Series modules have a high degree of configurability when it comes to auto start applications. The information herein is designed to be a general guide to the different methods of auto start operation. An auto start signal can come from a digital input, analog input, MOD Bus, CAN Bus or from the real-time clock scheduler.
Page 30
LEVEL TRANSDUCER AUTO START If an analog channel is configured to start and stop the engine based on a level, the display will rotate through the set point screen displaying the start and stop settings as well as the current measured value.
Page 31
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL MODES When operating in Auto, the controller will start the engine at the warm up speed and maintain that speed until the warm up time delay expires. After that, the control will ramp the speed up to the Prime Speed setting and maintain that through the time period.
Page 32
4-20 mA signal from a PLC or other device, you can vary the engine speed in direct relationship to the signal. This also the ability to invert the slope if desired. For more details, contact a Controls, Inc. sales engineer.
Page 33
FLOAT OPERATION SINGLE FLOAT SYSTEM Basic level control can be accomplished using a float device that contains a contact closure internally. For applications that do not have critical start and stop points and do not involve turbulence, such as a pond or lagoon, a single float can provide adequate control over water levels.
Page 34
TRANSDUCER WITH DUAL FLOAT BACK UP SYSTEM If operating the auto start system using a transducer, you can install a single or dual set of floats positioned at a critical high level that will start and run the pump at a programmable speed and for a programmable length of time.
Page 35
The costs can be considerably different, so talk to a specialist. Controls, Inc. does stock transducers and can assist in selection. Contact a sales engineer for more help. When using a transducer for start, stop and possible speed control, you first need to tell the control panel what type of transducer you are connecting.
Page 36
LEVEL CONTROL Highly accurate level control can be obtained by using a level transducer to monitor the depth of fluid at your site. You can use a level transducer to pump a tank down or fill a tank up. These settings are found in the Auto Operation menu.
Page 37
MAIN MENU ACCESS To access the module menu system, apply power to the module and press the Menu key. ENTER BACK MENU DOWN...
Page 38
If the engine is running, the throttle keys will remain active for speed control. The menu system is broken into two main sections; the Operator Main Menu and the Controller Setup Menu.
