Diagnostic Capability. Electronic
Technician (Cat ET) is used to display
real-time pressures, temperatures, fuel
settings and diagnostic messages as well
as a historical information such as engine
over-speeds, overheating, low oil
pressure and air filter restriction events.
Fuel Economy. Electronic controls yield
a fuel savings by optimizing the timing
setting for varying conditions. The ECM
matches timing to the load on the engine,
engine speed and temperature.
Air Filter Restriction. The ECM monitors
air filter restriction and sends a warning
message to the Electronic Monitoring
System III to alert the operator if the
restriction exceeds the allowable limit.
Reduced Exhaust Smoke. The ECM
reads electronic sensors to determine
the optimum fuel/air ratio, then precisely
controls fuel during cranking, starting
and acceleration to reduce smoke.
The ECM system is faster and more
efficient than mechanically controlling
the governor rack position.
Low Battery Elevated Idle. ECM
automatically compensates for low
alternator output at low idle by raising
the rpm for brief intervals to keep the
batteries fully charged.
Electronic Unit Injection (EUI).
Electronic injection provides complete
control over injection timing, duration,
rate and pressure under changing
conditions over the entire engine
operating range. The EUI controlled
engine delivers:
• improved fuel efficiency
• more power
• decreased smoke and emissions
• faster hot and cold starts
• better high altitude performance
• less noise than mechanical
injector engines
Engine Speed Lock. Allows the operator
to maintain a given engine speed
without using the accelerator pedal.
This eliminates operator fatigue
associated with holding the pedal down
for extended periods of time. An on/off
rocker switch enables the Speed Lock
feature, and a lamp indicates the feature
is active. Moving the rocker switch to
the off position, or activating the service
brakes or the retarder, disables the feature.
NGMR Engine Cooling System.
The standard radiator for the tractor is
the Next Generation Modular Radiator
(NGMR) that features 9 fins per inch,
whereas the previous model had a
standard radiator of 33 fins per inch.
The increased radiator fin spacing
reduces clogging in severe applications.
Scraper Radiator. The scraper has a
standard unit core radiator, a one-piece
unit design with 9 fins per inch. The larger
fin spacing reduces clogging and
eliminates the need for an attachment
radiator.
Automatic Belt Tensioning. Both the
tractor and scraper engines now have
automatic belt tensioning rather than
manual tensioning. Other improvements
for both the tractor and scraper engines
include:
• reducing the number of belts
(from five to two on the tractor,
from four to two on the scraper)
• eliminating the servicing for fan
drive bearings
