Engine shutdown

A warning indicates a serious condition that requires immediate attention. If a derating occurs, the
engine power and/or the engine rpm is limited.

The following conditions will cause an engine shutdown:

• Engine overspeed

• High aftercooler coolant temperature

• Low engine oil pressure

Except for an overspeed shutdown, the monitoring system can be overridden.

Alarms and Shutoffs

Alarms and shutoffs are electronically controlled. The operation of all alarms and shutoffs utilize
components which are actuated by a sensing unit.

The alarms and shutoffs are set at critical operating temperatures, pressures, or speeds in order to
protect the engine from damage. The alarms function in order to warn the operator when an
abnormal operating condition occurs.

The shutoffs function in order to shut down the engine when a more critical abnormal operating
condition occurs. The shutoffs help to prevent damage to the equipment.

Overspeed

The ECM will automatically perform the following functions if an engine overspeed occurs:

• Warning and • Shutdown

Different setpoints are based on the engine application and the engine rating. The default settings
that are programmed at the factory are listed below:

If the engine speed exceeds the setpoint rpm, a warning and a shutdown will occur. The fuel will be
shut off and the air shutoff (if equipped) will be activated

The default settings for the warning and for the shutdown are equal. Therefore, the warning and the
shutdown occur simultaneously. These settings were selected in order to log both a warning and a
shutdown: furthermore, an overspeed condition can occur rapidly.

The setpoints can be programmed to a value between 1200 and 2400 rpm.
