Operator Level Inducement

Inducements are engine derates, vehicle speed limits, or other actions intended to prompt the operator to repair or maintain the emissions control system.

Inducement strategies are control actions required by EPA/ARB Tier 4 final and EU Stage IV regulations to ensure prompt correction of various failures in the engine NOx emissions control system. They require actions to limit engine performance and define required indications such as visual alarms including lamps and messages, as well as audible alarms, while the control actions are imposed.

Refer to Systems Operation, "DEF Dosing Control System" for details on inducement configuration options.
