Main Menu Choices

Each of these Main Menu choices will be explained later in this section:

Languages: If more than one language is enabled, this will be the first menu item to appear. If only one language is enabled, this menu will not appear. The Language Menu allows the operator to select a language from a list of up to 11 languages at one time. All subsequent displays are shown in the selected language. Three different language packages with a total of 23 languages are available. English is the default language and is provided in each of the packages.

Alarms: Allows the operator to view all alarms, and allows most alarms to be cleared. If only one language is enabled, this will be the first menu item to appear.

Hourmeters: Allows the operator to view the unit hourmeters that have the view feature enabled in the Guarded Access Menu. If the view feature for a particular hourmeter is not enabled, that hourmeter will continue to accumulate time but cannot be viewed from the Main Menu. However, all hourmeters can be viewed from the Maintenance Menu, even if they are not enabled.

Mode: Allows the operator to change the unit operating modes if allowed. Not all modes may appear depending on the settings selected from the Guarded Access Menu and the HMI Control Panel software version.

  • Turn Off CYCLE-SENTRY Mode/Turn On CYCLE-SENTRY Mode (If CYCLE-SENTRY is Off unit runs in Continuous).

  • Allow Keypad Lockout to be selected.

  • Start Sleep Mode.

Pretrip: Allows the operator to start a Pretrip Test. If an alarm is active, the Pretrip Test is not allowed and the operator is prompted to clear the alarm(s).

Electric Standby: If the Electric Standby option is present and the Diesel to Electric Auto-switch feature is set NO, this feature allows the operator to manually select electric mode operation. This feature does not appear if the unit does not feature optional Electric Standby or if the Diesel to Electric Auto-switch feature is set YES.

Diesel Mode: If a unit equipped with electric standby is running in electric mode and the Electric to Diesel Auto-switch feature is set NO, this feature allows the operator to manually select diesel mode operation. This feature does not appear if the unit does not feature optional Electric Standby or if the Electric to Diesel Auto-switch feature is set YES.

Adjust Brightness: Allows the operator to adjust the HMI Control Panel display backlight intensity as required by local conditions.

Time: Allows the operator to view the unit time and date. The time and date cannot be changed from this menu.
