Low Oil Pressure
Low oil pressure alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an arming
delay. If enabled, a low oil pressure alarm is triggered after a two second delay when the engine oil
pressure decreases below the threshold setting. The arming delay disables the low oil pressure alarm
function for a user-adjustable period after engine startup. System units and metric pressure units are
configured on the System Settings screen.
Overspeed
Overspeed alarm settings include an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an activation delay.
If enabled, an overspeed alarm occurs when the engine speed (in rpm) exceeds the threshold setting for
the duration of the activation time delay.
Low Fuel Level
Low fuel level alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an activation
delay setting. If enabled, a low fuel level alarm is triggered when the metered fuel level drops below the
threshold setting for the duration of the activation time delay.
Low Coolant Level
Low coolant level alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If enabled, a
low coolant level alarm is triggered when the metered coolant level drops below the threshold setting.
ECU Support must be enabled on the Communications, CAN Bus, CAN Bus Setup screen before this
alarm can be configured.
Pre-alarms
To configure pre-alarms using BESTCOMSPlus, open the Pre-Alarms screen (Figure 41). This screen is
found in the Settings Explorer under the Alarm Configuration category. If using the front panel, navigate to
Settings > Alarm Configuration > Pre-alarms.
The pre-alarm settings are described below.
High Fuel Level
High fuel level pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an
activation delay. If enabled, a high fuel level pre-alarm is triggered when the metered fuel level increases
above the threshold setting for the duration of the activation delay.
Low Fuel Level
Low fuel level pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If enabled, a
low fuel level pre-alarm is triggered when the metered fuel level decreases below the threshold setting.
Low Battery Voltage
Low battery voltage pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an
activation delay. If enabled, a low battery voltage pre-alarm is triggered when the battery voltage
decreases below the threshold setting for the duration of the activation time delay. The threshold can be
entered in actual volts or a per-unit value. The per-unit threshold value is based on the nominal battery
voltage setting found on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen.
High Coolant Temp
High coolant temperature pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting.
If enabled, a high coolant temperature pre-alarm is annunciated when the engine coolant temperature
exceeds the threshold setting for a fixed duration of four seconds. The arming delay disables the High
Coolant Temp pre-alarm function for a user-adjustable time during engine startup. Delay duration is
determined by the High Coolant Temp Alarm Arming Delay setting. System units are configured on the
System Settings screen.
