G3512E Generator Set Engine Caterpillar


Configuration Parameters

Usage:

G3512E NGS
Certain parameters are unique for each engine application. Table 1 is a list of the parameters that can be configured for G3512E Engines. The parameters are programmed into the Electronic Control Module (ECM) via the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). The values of the parameters can be viewed on the "Configuration" screen of Cat ET.

Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control System Parameters" for the descriptions of the parameters.
