Diesel engine preheats and starts are automatic in both Continuous Mode and CYCLE-SENTRY Mode. The engine will preheat and start as required when the unit is turned on. The engine preheat and start will be delayed in CYCLE-SENTRY mode if there is no current need for the engine to run. If any keys are being pressed on the HMI Control Panel, the engine will not preheat and start until 10 seconds after the last key is pressed.
Note If the unit is equipped with optional Electric
Standby, there may be some additional prompts before the engine will
start. Refer to Starting the Electric Motor for details.
When the engine is preparing to start, the HMI Control Panel will display the engine start screen ( Engine Start Screen). The preheat buzzer sounds during the engine preheat and crank sequence.
After the engine is started, the display returns to the Standard Display of temperature and setpoint.
