Engine Monitoring System (EMS) Operator’s Guidefor Caterpi l lar Electronical ly Control led Marine Engines
Introduction
The Caterpillar Engine Monitoring System (EMS) is designed to displayvarious engine and transmission parameters in both analog and digitalforms for Caterpillar electronically controlled marine engines. The displaytechnology provides excellent visibility in different light conditions. Thesystem also has the ability to display vessel speed when connected to aGPS Interface Module.
The Engine Monitoring System includes three individual gauge units whichcan be installed in various locations to enhance operator and vessel
operation. One main unit is required for each desired operator station. Thetachometer and quad-gauge units are optional and will operate only bybeing connected to a main unit. Each unit is contained within a separatesealed box.
Power-Up Test Function
EMS undergoes an automatic self-test every time the EMS is powered up.While executing this internal test, the display provides a visual indication
by ramping gauges and displaying all digits to ensure the panel is workingcorrectly.
Reference
Refer to SENR1191 — Marine Engine Electronic Display Installation Guide
for complete installation procedures for the EMS units and switches.

Communication Data Link
EMS provides two pins that are connected to the Cat data link. The datalink is available to share data with other modules on the link. Theelectronic control system will process engine and transmission parameterssuch as pressures, temperatures, percent load, engine speed, anddiagnostic information. These engine parameters will then be transmittedto EMS through Cat data link. The main EMS unit will receive thisinformation and display the information on various gauges. Only two
wires from the ECM to EMS are required to transmit all parameters.
Power Supply
Supply range: 18 to 32 Volts DC, 24 Volts DC nominal
Environmental Specifications
1. Operating temperature range: -40° to +85° C (-40° to +185° F)2. Storage temperature range: -55° to +85° C (-67° to +185° F)

Diagnostic Display
The main unit has ten warning lamps available for system related
diagnostics. These diagnostics can be used for system troubleshooting and
diagnostic information. They are located on the main EMS unit in two rowsof five:

LCD Digital DisplayBeneath the warning lamps is an LCD digital display for engine parameters.
Display Scroll Feature Each time the scroll forward switch is depressed and held, EMS will pagethrough the engine and transmission parameters in the same order listedbelow. When the scroll backward switch is depressed and held, EMS willpage through the engine and transmission parameters in the reverse order.
The abbreviation for the parameter will be displayed. When the scrollswitch is released, EMS will display the current “real time” value for thatparameter.

Quad-Gauge Unit
Engine Oil PressureThe upper left gauge is used to display engine oil pressure 0 kPa to600 kPa (87 psi). When the oil pressure reaches below 70 kPa (10 psi)the engine oil pressure gauge needle will enter the red zone and thealarm will activate.
Engine Coolant TemperatureThe upper right gauge is used to display engine coolant temperature
from 0° to 120° C (248° F). When coolant temperature reaches above102° C (214° F) the gauge needle will enter the red zone and the alarmwill activate.
Transmission Oil PressureThe lower left gauge is used to display transmission oil pressure from200 to 3000 kPa (29 to 435 psi). When the transmission oil pressurereaches above 2756 kPa (400 psi), the needle of the gauge will enter thered zone and the alarm will activate.
Transmission Oil TemperatureThe lower right gauge is used to display transmission oil temperaturefrom 0° to 120° C (248° F). When the transmission oil temperaturereaches above 99° C (210° F), the needle of the gauge will enter the redzone and the alarm will activate.
NOTE: The gauge needles may not return to the 0 position when thepower is cycled off.

Tachometer Unit
Tachometer GaugeThe tachometer gauge displays engine speed from 0 to 3000 rpm in analogform.
LCD Digital Display
Vessel Speed The left side of the window displays vessel speed in miles per hour or
kilometers per hour with a three-digit LCD indicator. Depending on theposition of the U.S./metric switch, mph or km/h will be diplayed. Thedefault setting is km/h. This feature is only displayed if the GPS interfacemodule is installed.
Trolling Mode Indicator The right side of the window has a two-digit LCD indicator. The left digit isfor trolling mode status. The “*” symbol will turn on during trolling modeoperation.
Engine Synchronization Indicator The right side of the window has a two-digit LCD indicator. The right digit
is for engine synchronization status. The “<” or “>” symbols are used to
indicate engine synchronization status. When the “>” is on, the engines
are synchronized to the STARBOARD engine throttle. The “<” indicates the
engines are synchronized to the PORT engine throttle.
