  • Page 14: Display Stored Data

    ELA100 Rev0808 Display Stored Data Both the RPM and the message displays are used to show stored data. Accumulated Hours and Transmission Temperature 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.
  • Page 15: High Idle

    ELA100 Rev0808 High-Idle The ThrottleXcel programming includes a high-idle function that is controlled by a High-Idle Switch. To activate the high idle, set interlocks as called for by SOP (normally this would include the transmission in neutral and the parking brake on ). Set the High Idle switch to ON.
  • Page 16: Programming

    ELA100 Rev0808 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.
  • Page 17: Program Code Descriptions

    ELA100 Rev0808 Program Code Descriptions When a valid four digit program code has been entered, stored data or program options will show in the displays. The MENU and SILENCE buttons are used to change the data. The SILENCE button will select the digit that is to be changed. The MENU button will change the digit or change the option choice.
