PRIOR TO STARTING ENGINE Prior to starting the engine, fully complete the Parameter Configuration menu, select the required START/STOP and THROTTLE settings. Reference the tables below to determine the appropriate operating modes. Details on each setting are provided on the following pages. PARAMETER CONFIGURATION Critical features to pump operation are to be selected and configured in this menu.

FAIL SAFE FLOAT START/STOP An optional fail safe float can also be used as a backup to the transducer. To enable the failsafe float: In the Auto Operations Menu 1) set Failsafe Float to “ON” 2) set the Failsafe Speed to “Desired engine speed if fail safe float is tripped” 3) set the Failsafe Float Time Delay for “the minimum amount of time the engine runs if the failsafe float is tripped”...
VERNIER THROTTLE (DEFAULT) Vernier throttle is standard up and down throttle between the minimum and maximum selections. The ramp rate is the rate of acceleration in RPM’s per second. The control panel uses J1939 throttle, also called “torque speed control” or TSC1.
AUTOMATIC THROTTLE SETTINGS The following auto start/stop throttle options are available for when the key is placed in the AUTO position: SINGLE SPEED (PROFILE) THROTTLE Single speed allows the engine to run according to a predetermined speed profile. Select the desired engine speed for the following: 1) Warm Up Speed 2) Prime Speed (Optional)

LINEAR THROTTLE With linear throttle, the minimum and maximum engine speeds and the corresponding minimum and maximum level or pressures are selected. Engine speed adjusts according to the linear relationship as shown below. Example: Level Transducer (0 to 200-inch range) Minimum Speed = 1000 rpm Maximum Speed = 2000 rpm Minimum Speed Level = 50 inches...

Note: If your engine is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank and the engine’s ECU is broadcasting the level, the control module will display the % DEF Fluid by alternating the value with in the Engine Hours location (Lower Right) on the display.
AUTO START/STOP OPERATION 1) Engine Start - Turn key to AUTO position Engine start/stop based on auto start/stop settings. Panel display shows “Auto Start ARMED” message. 2) Engine Throttle Throttle operation based on auto throttle settings. - 13 -...
SLEEP MODE To minimize current draw, the panel goes into a sleep mode two minutes after being set in auto mode. In sleep mode, the display goes blank and the red lamp blinks once every ten seconds. The engine ECU is also turned off. Upon receiving a signal from a float or transducer, the panel wakes up, the display turns back on and normal operation commences.

It is important to understand panel operation with respect to engine safety protections, alarms, and fault codes. The panel operates with J1939 engines. These engines have an ECU (engine control unit) which is essentially a computer that runs the engine. When engine parameters are out of normal...

INDICATION LAMPS Emissions The panel has six lamp indicators. Fault Regen Regen Active Inhibit Lamp Lamp Lamp Fluid Engine Engine Fault Alarm Lamp Lamp ACTIVE AND STORED ENGINE ECU CODES The panel also provides the ability to check the engine ECU for all ACTIVE and STORED engine ECU codes.
Page 23
CONTROL PANEL SPECIFIC ALARMS AND SHUT DOWNS The panel has its own engine safety alarms and shut downs that can be enabled. These alarms and shut downs are managed by the control panel independent from the engine ECU. The available options are listed below and can be accessed via the Engine Safety Configuration menu.
CONTROL PANEL ANALOG AND DIGITAL INPUTS The panel provides the analog and digital inputs defined below located in the Input Configuration menu. The panel is shipped from the factory with the highlighted inputs enabled in the panel. Inputs not highlighted need to be enabled/configured in the menu system to be used. Input Options Default Setting...
ANALOG #1 INPUT FUNCTIONS Fuel Level 0-90 ohm – Fuel amount, in percentage, can be measured and displayed on the module using a scale sender of 0 ohms – 90 ohms. 0 = Empty and 90 = Full. Sender ground must be common with battery negative.
Page 26
DIGITAL FUNCTION MONITORING Off / Always / Run – Describes when the parameter will be monitored for alarm conditions. Run refers to when the engine is running. Off disables the alarm conditions. Always enables the alarm constantly regardless of engine state. DIGITAL FUNCTION MESSAGES A comprehensive list of common industry messages can be associated with the digital inputs to identify what is connected to any particular input.
CONTROL PANEL RELAY OUTPUTS The panel provides relay outputs defined below located in the Output Configuration menu. The relays are rated at 5 amps. The panel is shipped from the factory with the highlighted outputs enabled and pre- wired in the panel. Relay Heading Default...

u. Unit in Manual – Closes when in the Manual Start mode. v. Clutch 1 – Closes if the criteria for Clutch 1 is met. See Clutch Configuration. w. Clutch 2 – Closes if the criteria for Clutch 2 is met. See Clutch Configuration. x.
PANEL TO ENGINE ECU COMMUNICATIONS Communication between the panel and the engine ECU occurs over the two wire CAN bus (CAN High wire and CAN Low wire). It is necessary that the panel and engine ECU settings be the same for the following parameters: 1) Source Address The source address is where the engine sends display and alarm data.
MODBUS (RS 485) can be used to communicate with a data collection system. Engine and Pump information can be accessed through registers. Engine Start, Stop and Speed commands can also be sent to the control panel by writing to coils and registers. Contact Thompson Pump for more information.
CLUTCH CONFIGURATION The Clutch Configuration menu can be used to program two relays to open or close based on a variety of criteria. You can mix and match Engage and Disengage criteria. If you select to engage on Speed, you will need to set the actual speed you want it to close the relay upon reaching. Don’t forget to assign a relay to Clutch 1 for the logic to run.
CLOCK SETUP The Clock Setup menu provide the ability to manually set the current date and time in your location. If using the CI Station PC application to program, the CI station will set the controllers clock to match you PC date and time. Heading Default Range...

EMISSIONS MONITORING EMISSIONS INFORMATION The panel provides lamp indications, display messages and other emission related information. This information is broadcast from the engine ECU and is captured and displayed by the panel. The panel includes an Emissions Parameters viewing menu that allows the operator to view the following emissions related information.
Page 35
REGENERATION PROCESS The regeneration process is controlled by the engine ECU. The engine ECU monitors emissions parameters such as soot level and ash level. For Deere engines, when the engine ECU determines that a regeneration is necessary, it initiates the regeneration process which requires the engine to operate at a designated speed for a designated period of time as determined by the engine ECU.

At the lowest level, the DPF lamp illuminates. As the levels increase, the DPF lamp begins to blink. As the levels continue to increase, the yellow alarm lamp illuminates. At the most severe level, the DPF lamp blinks and the red engine alarm lamp illuminates. DPF Lamp (Blinking) - 35 -...
Page 37
ACTIVE REGENERATION If the operator selects ENTER for yes, the panel will show the “RPM May Increase” message and ask the operator to respond by pressing the MENU button for “no” or the ENTER button for “yes”. This interlock question is asked to make sure the operator is aware that the engine ECU may increase engine speed per the regeneration requirements.
Page 38
SERVICE REGENERATION LEVEL For Deere engines, the most severe level is the service regen level. At this level, the DPF lamp is blinking and the red alarm lamp illuminates. When the service level is reached, the engine ECU has determined that the situation is severe and a service regeneration is necessary. At the service regen level, the engine ECU may de-rate the engine or prevent it from starting and the message shown below appears on the display.
SCHEDULER SETUP SETTING THE REAL TIME CLOCK Each module is shipped with the clock set for Eastern Standard Time. To adjust reset the clock to your time zone, or in the event the clock has lost its factory time from power exhaustion, you can reset the clock with these simple steps.
