Engine Idle Shutdown Timer (EIST)
Overview
The engine Idle Shutdown Timer (EIST) is a valuable tool fleet owners may use to
impose limits on engine idling time to improve overall fuel economy. The EIST has
several customizable options to meet the needs of any application. EIST may be
overruled by fuel temperature or engine coolant and oil temperature for uninterrupted
engine warm-up intervals and allows for separate timer intervals dependent on the
engagement of the parking brake. EIST may also be configured with an independent
