Switching from Electric to Diesel

If the Electric to Diesel Auto-Switch Enabled feature in Guarded Access is set YES, the unit will automatically switch to Diesel Mode operation when standby power is turned off or is no longer available.

If the Electric to Diesel Auto-Switch Enabled feature in Guarded Access is set NO and standby power is disconnected or fails, the unit will not automatically switch to Diesel mode. This is primarily designed to prevent unauthorized diesel engine starts when the truck is indoors or on a ferry where engine operation is strictly prohibited. If the Electric to Diesel Auto-Switch Enabled feature in Guarded Access is set NO, the prompt screen ( Standby Power is Off) will appear when standby power is turned off or is no longer available.

If YES is selected, the display will briefly show the screen ( Yes Selected).

Diesel Mode operation will briefly be confirmed. If unit operation is required, the diesel engine will start as shown previously under Starting the Diesel Engine.

If the Electric to Diesel Auto-Switch Enabled feature in Guarded Access is set NO, the unit can also be switched from Diesel mode to Electric mode operation using the Diesel Selection from the Main Menu as shown later in this section.
