When selected by the operator it shows 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 Rev0808 Specifications The ThrottleXcel is available in various models. Each model is programmed to interface with specific engines. All models provide the same functions, controls, and digital readouts. Display Module Supply Power: 12/24 VDC Supply Current: 0.5 Amps Dimensions: 4 5/8"...
ELA100 Rev0808 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ThrottleXcel all-in-one instrument panel with 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 or GMAC engine.

ELA100 Rev0808 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor The engine coolant temperature sensor is installed as necessary. Oil Pressure Sensor The oil pressure sensor is installed as necessary. Audible Alarm Buzzer (Optional) The optional buzzer is installed as required. A ground is provided at the 12-pin connector pin 6 to activate the buzzer (max current: 300mA).
ELA100 Rev0808 Controls and Indicators All controls and indicators are located on the front of the control module. (Refer to Figure 1.) See Operation and Programming Sections for more information. RPM Display Shows the current engine RPM in bright red digits during normal operations. It is used to show error codes, fault warnings, stored data, and program features.

Pin 6 on the 12-pin connector at the rear of the control module is provided to connect an optional buzzer. Connect the ground side of the buzzer to pin 6. (Maximum current through pin 6 is 300 mA.) Refer to the Wiring Section. FRC buzzer requires a 1 1/8 inch hole.
ELA100 Rev0808 OPERATION On power-up the ThrottleXcel is in normal operating mode. The RPM display shows engine RPM, the three LED bar graphs are green indicating readings within normal ranges, and the message display alternates between showing the date and time. If a monitored function is not within normal parameters the display flashes, the RPM display shows an error or fault warning code and a description shows in the message display.

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.
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.
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.
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.
- High idle not available for Ford, Mack, or GMC. - The J1939 CAN bus is terminated with a 120 ohm resistor. - When using an FRC provided sensor cable, the red wire is sensor signal and the black wire connects to a ground.
