When selected by the operator it will show monitored information, stored data, and program options. The ThrottleXcel panel has a built-in FRC infinityPRO remote engine throttle. This hand throttle uses optical technology with an Infrared Encoder (IRE) to detect the direction and speed of the control knob as it is rotated.
ELA100 Rev0604 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ThrottleXcel all-in-one instrument panel with a remote hand throttle is compatible with the following engines: ELA101 Cummins IS Series ELA102 Detroit Diesel ELA104 Navistar ELA105 Caterpillar ELA106* Ford ELA107 Mack ELA108 Scania ELA109* GMAC ELA110 Mercedes * Note: An adapter and cable assembly replaces the basic 8-pin cable when connecting the ThrottleXcel to a Ford 6.0 or GMAC engine.

ELA100 Rev0604 Display Stored Data Both the RPM and the message displays are used to show stored data. Accumulated Hours Accumulated hours are stored in memory for engine operation, pump operation, last incident, and current incident. The menu button allows the operator to gain access to this stored data.
ELA100 Rev0604 High Idle The ThrottleXcel programming includes a high idle function. To activate the high idle provide 12 VDC to pin 7 (High Idle Active Input) and pin 8 (High Idle Throttle Enable Input) of the 12-pin connector. It is recommend to connect pin 7 to the high idle switch (not provided) and pin 8 to the safety interlock circuit.
ELA100 Rev0604 PROGRAMMING To gain access to the program features a four digit program code must be entered. Review the Program Code Descriptions for the proper four digit code. Both the MENU and SILENCE buttons are used to enter a program code. The RPM display is used to show the codes.
ELA100 Rev0604 Program Code Descriptions When a valid four digit program code has been entered, stored data or program options will show in the displays. (Refer to Programming.) The MENU and SILENCE buttons are used to change the data. The SILENCE button will select the digit that is to be changed.
