ENGINE AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL

NOTES

1. If the unit is in an alarm condition, the control system alarm response may override the operation described

herein. If an alarm is displayed in the MessageCenter, refer to the specific alarm description in Section 7 for
“Unit Control” descriptions.

2. With the complex control interactions in use with the APX control system there are many user selected and

preprogrammed software overrides which may change the operation of the unit. Refer to

Section 4.10

Section 4.11

for complete descriptions of these features.

INTRODUCTION

This section describes operation of the unit when
power is supplied from an external source

Electric

Operation and when power is supplied by the internal
generator

Engine Operation. The section also

describes two additional sub

categories of operation;

Start-Stop Operation and Continuous Operation.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION - ELECTRICAL

With the battery connected (see schematic diagram

Section 10.3

), power is available from the battery

through fuse F7:

• and fuse F1 to the module logic circuit at main

microprocessor module (MM) terminal 1MM

−

to the stepper valve module (from 1MM

−

8 and

−

16 to 1SMV

−

6), to the display module (from

1SVM

−

8 to DM

−

10), to the first contactor control

board (1CCB) (from SP

−

16 through HVB7

−

and HVB1

−

B and SP52 to 1CCB

−

04) and to the

second contactor control board (2CCB) (from
SP

−

52 to 2CCB

−

04).

• and fuse F3, PCM

−

34 and SP

−

18 to SVM at

2SVM

−

22 & 3SVM

−

22 (for operation of the

valves), and ENCU

−

22 (for the ENCU logic cir-

cuit).

Potential power is also established for the starter sole-
noid contactor (SSC) normally open contacts, the bat-
tery charger logic circuit (BTYC TEMP/VOLTAGE), the
engine preheat transistor (EPHT), fuel heater relay
(FHR) normally open contacts, AutoFresh Air relay
(AFAR) normally open contacts, power enable relay
(PER) normally open contacts (through fuse F5), and
the buzzer (B + through fuse F1).
Once the module logic circuit is powered, the modules
begin to communicate over the controlled area network
(CAN).

The “HI” CAN connectivity is established from the main
microprocessor (1MM

−

2, through connectors HVB7

−

& HVB1

−

C) to the first contactor control board (at ter-

minal 1CCB

−

05) and to the second contactor control

board (from 1CCB

−

06 to terminal 2CCB

−

06). The con-

nectivity continues (from 2CCB

−

05 and through termi-

nals HVB1

−

H and HVB7

−

H) to SP

−

13. From SP

−

the connectivity continues to the ENCU (at terminal
ENCU

−

23), to the stepper valve module (at 1SVM

−

and to the display module (from 1SVM

−

2 to DM

−

2).

The “LO” CAN connectivity is established from the
main microprocessor (1MM

−

4, through connectors

HVB7

−

D & HVB1

−

D) to the first contactor control

board (at terminal 1CCB

−

17) and to the second con-

tactor control board (from 1CCB

−

29 to terminal

2CCB

−

29). The connectivity continues (from 2CCB

−

and through terminals HVB1

−

G and HVB7

−

G) to

−

14. From SP

−

14 the connectivity continues to the

ENCU (at terminal EN CU

−

24), to the stepper valve

module (at 1SVM

−

7) and to the display module (from

1SVM

−

4 to DM

−

6).

To start the unit, SROS is placed in the START/RUN
position. Power flows from SROS through terminal
DM

−

7, the J1 jumper, the high pressure switch (HPS)

and the overload ground fault (through terminal
HVB1

K, OV

+12V OV

15) to the power enable

relay (PER) coil. Confirmation of power circuits are
established from splice point SP

−

24 back to the main

microprocessor at 2MM

−

35, SP

−

23 to 3MM

−

16 and

from SP

−

63 to the second contactor control board at

2CCB

−

12. If any of these circuits is broken, the appro-

priate alarm will be activated.
If conditions are correct for operation, the main micro-
processor will energize Power Enable Relay (PER) by
providing ground through PCM16 from 3MM18. Ener-
gizing PER closes its normally open contacts to pro-
vide power:

• through fuse F10 to the main microprocessor at

3MM

−

34 & 3MM

−

23.

• through fuse F12 for satellite communication

(SATPWR).
