System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions, power of the engine, and machine applications. 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 Electronic Control Module (ECM) is replaced and/or you reprogram the engine rating. Proper values for these parameters are available on the AVSpare Electronic Technician (ET). Certain configuration parameters are also stamped on the engine information plate.
Parameter Descriptions
"Equipment ID"
The "Equipment ID" parameter allows the customer to enter a description into the ECM in order to identify the machine. A maximum of 17 characters can be entered in the field.
"Engine Serial Number"
The "Engine Serial Number" should be programmed to match the engine serial number that is stamped on the engine information plate. The engine serial number is not preprogrammed on a replacement ECM.
"FLS" (Full Load Setting)
"FLS" is a number that represents the adjustment to the fuel system that was made at the factory in order to fine tune the fuel system. The correct value for this parameter is stamped on the engine information plate. Change this value only if the engine is rerated or if a new ECM is installed. Factory passwords are required.
"FTS" (Full Torque Setting)
"FTS" is similar to "FLS". Change this value only if the engine is rerated or if a new ECM is installed. Factory passwords are required.
"Security System Immobilizer Installation Status"
This parameter allows the Machine Security System (MSS) to be disabled or removed. If the MSS is removed from the machine and this parameter is not programmed to "Not Installed", the engine will not start. Factory passwords are required.
"Engine Oil Weight"
Setting this parameter to the correct oil grade that is in the engine will aid in cold weather starting. Do not program this parameter to "Automatic Detection".
Parameter Table
| System Configuration Parameters | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Available Range or Options | Default | Required Password |
| "Equipment ID" | 17 characters | blank | none |
| "Engine Serial Number" | 8 characters | blank | none |
| "FLS" | -128 to +127 | 0 | Factory |
| "FTS" | -128 to +127 | 0 | Factory |
| "Security System Immobilizer Status" | "Installed" or "Not Installed" | Hardware Dependent (1) | Factory |
| "Engine Oil Weight" | "0W20 oil grade" "10W30 oil grade" "15W40 oil grade" |
"Automatic Detection" | none |
| ( 1 ) | If the machine is equipped with MSS, the default installation status will be "Installed". If the machine is not equipped with MSS, the default installation status will be "Unavailable". |

Note: Compare the FLS and the FTS from the ECM with the values that are listed on the engine information plate. Change this value only if the engine is rerated or if a new ECM is installed. The use of the wrong parameters could cause damage to the engine. The use of the wrong parameters may also void the AVSpare warranty.
