Activate Auto Log Off On Excess Idle Shutdown Mode Setup Guide

  1. This Guide is to set up the ability to stop a machine on excess idle.Excess idle occurs when the machine has not detected any traction for a set amount of time.

    Applying critical output settings and Excess idle settings to machines categories

    Note: if Critical Output Configuration cannot be seen please contact your local support branch.

    Note: If the ADMINISTRATION menu cannot be seen please contact your local support branch.

    1. Go to ADMINISTRATION and select Critical Output Configurationimage1
  2. The CRITICAL OUTPUT CONFIGURATION page will loadimage2
  3. Select EDIT next to the category with the machines you wish to add critical output to.image3
  4. MODIFY CURRENT CHECKLIST SETTINGS window will now appearimage4
  5. Check the Enable Critical Output Detection tick boximage5
    1. Set the output delayBuzzer Duration and output Period Duration as desired.
  6. When you need to enter the 'Output Delay' it is suggested at minimum 60 seconds. This is the warning time before the machine shuts down.If this is set too short & an unlikely event happens where the driver is currently moving the machine and a traction signal wire breaks on the machine, the machine will go into Excess Idle mode and shutdown the machine whilst in operation, this is not desirable. Therefore setting an Output Delay of 60 seconds or more gives the driver enough warning and time to park / stop the machine during this unlikely event.The ‘Buzzer Duration’ should be set to a minimum of 3 seconds.image6

  24. When the machine has been idling for the set time the Excess Idle Critical Output Alarm warning will appear for 5 secondsimage23

    This is a diagram showing what is happening at each stage the machine is running:


    Optional:

     

    Your tech may need to wire in the Optional AUX Output as shown. 

    Basically this allows the AUX Output to cut power to the main Ignition wire from the key barrel. 

    Also, as shown in the wiring diagram document, a separate alarm/buzzer could be wired-in to the AUX Output so that it alerts people nearby that a machine is going into Excess Idle Shutdown.

     

    **This does not have to be done if the Smartrack system cuts the ignition power. Only if the Smartrack system only inhibits the start wire.**
