NOTE

When metric values are used and changes are made to the oil pressure sender
data points, undesirable internal rounding of some data points can occur. For
example, select 700 kilopascals for one data point, create a sender file, and the
value is rounded to 697. Rounding that occurs will never be greater than 4
kilopascals.

Figure 4-18. Run Time Dialog Box

setting range is 32 to 400°F or 0 to 240°C. The oil pressure setting range is 0 to 250 psi or 0 to 1,725
kilopascals. The fuel level setting range is 0 to 100 percent.

Sender Slope. If a sender requires a positive slope, Positive can be selected to invert the values in the
Resistance column.

Reset Factory Settings. Clicking this button restores the factory-default data points in the Degrees
F/Degrees C column and graph. This does not update the data points in the DGC-500. The DGC-500 is
updated by clicking the Send Cool. Data to DGC button.

Fuel Level Type

This setting, located on the Percent Fuel Level tab, allows the selection of four fuel types: Percent, Natural
Gas, Propane, and Disabled. Selecting a fuel type other than Percent will disable any fuel level indication,
alarm, and pre-alarm and disable the percent fuel level values of the Percent Fuel Level tab.

ENGINE RUN TIME

The amount of accumulated running time for an
engine can be adjusted by accessing the Run Time
dialog box. Click Configure on the menu bar and click
Engine Runtime to view the Run Time dialog box.
Unless access is gained by using the OEM-access
default password, the Engine Runtime selection will
not appear under the Configure pull-down menu.
Enter the accumulated engine running time as hours
and minutes in the appropriate fields. The Run Time
dialog box is illustrated in Figure 4-18. Click the
Update DGC Accumulated Engine Runtime button
to save the time value to the DGC-500.

SETTINGS FILES

BESTCOMS software enables you to print a list of DGC-500 settings, save DGC-500 settings to a file, and
open a settings file and upload those settings to a DGC-500.

Printing Settings Files

A printout of DGC-500 settings can be useful for record keeping or comparison purposes. Click the Print
Settings File
button or click File on the menu bar and click Print to access the Print DGC-500 Settings
screen. This print screen contains a print-preview pane and settings for selecting the printer, content of the
printout, and the printout orientation. DGC-500 settings are divided into three print sections: General Settings,
Programmable I/O Settings, and Input Sender Settings. Any combination of sections can be selected for
printing.

New Settings File

Clicking this button resets the settings displayed in BESTCOMS to the factory-default values. If changes to
settings have not been saved, you will be given the opportunity to save the changes in a DGC-500 settings
file.
