PLATE AS 7E0328 - Caterpillar

Certain parameters are unique for each engine application. Table 1 is a list of the parameters that can be configured for G3500B Engines. The parameters are programmed into the Electronic Control Module (ECM) via the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). The values of the parameters can be viewed on the "Configuration" screen of Cat ET.Most of the parameters are common to engines that use oxygen feedback and to engines that use charge density. However, some of the parameters are associated only with oxygen feedback or with charge density.

(1) This parameter is not used for industrial arrangements.Timing Control
The "Desired Timing" parameters allow the customer to program the timing of the ignition spark for the engine. The desired timing value can be changed while the engine is running or while the engine is stopped. The value that is entered for the desired timing is the ignition timing when the engine is operating at rated speed and at full load.Note: The actual ignition timing at a given instance may vary from the desired timing value. This variance is due to variations in the engine speed or the detonation.The range for programming the desired timing is 0 to 40 degrees before the top center (TC) position."First Desired Timing"
The "First Desired Timing" is determined with the methane number of the primary fuel that is used. Use the Engine Performance Sheet, "Fuel Usage Guide". The ECM selects the "First Desired Timing" when terminal J1-20 is not connected to ground."Second Desired Timing"
The "Second Desired Timing" is determined with the methane number of the alternate fuel that is used and the Engine Performance Sheet, "Fuel Usage Guide". The ECM selects the "Second Desired Timing" when terminal J1-20 is connected to ground. If an alternate fuel is not
