BOTTLE GP-FLUID SAMPLING 1698373 - Caterpillar

System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions, power of the engine, and features that are specific to the application. Default values for the parameters are programmed at the factory. Some parameters may be changed by the customer in order to suit the needs of the specific application. You must reprogram the system configuration parameters if the ECM is replaced and/or you reprogram the engine rating. You do not need to reprogram the system configuration parameters if you replace the personality module. Proper values for these parameters are available on the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine information plate.Note: If the parameters that are protected with factory passwords are changed, the Caterpillar warranty may be voided.Parameter Descriptions
"Rating Number"
The "Rating Number" corresponds to the selected set of performance maps for the application. This selected set of performance maps comes out of several unique sets of maps that may be resident in the flash file. The dealer and/or the OEM will need to select the appropriate rating tier, if more than one rating tier is present. The rating tier is A through E. "Equipment ID"
"Equipment ID" allows the customer to enter a description into the ECM in order to identify the engine and/or the vessel. A maximum of 17 characters may be entered in the field. This parameter is only for reference by the customer. This parameter is not required."Engine Serial Number"
"Engine Serial Number" should be programmed to match the engine serial number that is stamped on the engine information plate. If the ECM is replaced, the engine serial number from the engine information plate should be programmed into the new ECM.Note: When you are requesting factory passwords, always use the engine serial number that is resident in the ECM."Engine Location"
"Engine Location" is used to identify the location (center, port, or starboard) of each engine."Fuel to Air Ratio Mode"
The ECM controls the delivery of fuel to the engine. The electronic controls eliminate the mechanical fuel air ratio control. The electronic control of the fuel air mixture provides the optimum performance of the engine.There are three different settings for the "Fuel to Air Ratio Mode". The setting depends on the characteristic of operation that is desired by the customer. The default setting provides a balance between the emissions and the performance of the engine. The "Fuel to Air Ratio Mode" can be set to the following settings.
Level 1 (Leanest mixture)
Level 2 (Default)
Level 3 (Richest mixture)"Low Idle Speed"
"Low Idle Speed" is the minimum allowable operating speed for the engine."Maximum Trolling Engine Speed"
The "Maximum Trolling Engine Speed" sets the high idle limit to the programmed value when the vessel is in trolling mode. The value must be higher than the programmed "Low Idle Speed" and the "Slow Vessel Speed"."Transmission Oil Temperature High Set Point"
The "Transmission Oil Temperature High Set Point" can be programmed to any value in the available range. The event code for the transmission oil temperature will be active when the transmission oil
