PLATE 1013944 - Caterpillar

Programming the Electronic Ignition System
The electronic ignition system must be programmed for the particular installation.For information on using Cat ET, refer to the information that is provided with the software.For information on using the DDT, refer to Special Instruction, SEHS9122, "Using the 7X-1400 Digital Diagnostic Tool (DDT) Group".For information on the programmable parameters, refer to Systems Operation, "Electronic Control System Parameters".The parameters are listed in Table 1. Record the values for the parameters in Table 1.

Parameter Value
"SPEED TIMING MAP"
"DET SENSORS"
"ENGINE TYPE"
"LOAD TIMING MAP"
"COMPRESSION"
"DES ENG TIMING" Recommendations for Programming Some of the Parameters
"DET SENSORS"
This parameter must be programmed in order for the electronic ignition system to provide protection from detonation. The engine has two detonation sensors. Make sure that the value for this parameter is programmed to "2"."LOAD TIMING MAP"
For normal operation, the recommended value for this parameter is "00"."COMPRESSION"
Program this parameter to the compression ratio that is printed on the engine Information Plate."DES ENG TIMING"
For the desired engine timing, obtain an analysis of the fuel. Enter the data from the fuel analysis into the Caterpillar Software, LERW4485, "Gas Engine Rating Pro (GERP)". Program the value for the desired timing according to the recommendations in Engine Performance, "Fuel Usage Guide".Timing Calibration
The EIS control module can calibrate the mechanical differences between the top center position of the flywheel and the position of the timing wheel. The timing calibration must be performed if the EIS control module is replaced or if the timing gear is serviced.For instructions on performing the timing calibration, refer to Electronic Troubleshooting, SENR6413, "G3500 Engines".Testing the EIS Control Module
The EIS control module can perform a self-test. If you suspect that there is a problem with the EIS control module, perform the test. Follow the instructions in Electronic Troubleshooting, SENR6413, "G3500 Engines".
