Caution: When setting engine overspeed shutdown, do not exceed the lesser of engine or driven equipment’s
speed limits. To avoid equipment damage, consult the driven equipment manufacturer for maximum
overspeed value.
FUEL PRESSURE:
Alarm: The minimum fuel pressure at the regulator (from Tech Data Book).
Shutdown: 85% of the alarm value.
NOTES:
1. For engines equipped with ESM, refer to ECU calibration and limits from the F11 advanced function screen.
2. Alarm and shutdown functionality provided on engines equipped with ESM engines.
3. Waukesha Power Systems Engomatic Control Model 1105, 1105A, or equivalent shutdown system is recommended
when jacket water temperature exceeds 210°F (99°C).
4. Waukesha Power Systems Engomatic Control Model 1106, 1106A, or equivalent shutdown system is recommended
for ebulliently cooled engines.
5. Waukesha Power Systems Control is required to have an 8 second delay after engine start.
