The 6V-6148 Engine Monitoring Control Gp is designed to operate in the temperature range of −40 °C to 70 °C (−40 °F to 158 °F). Operating the Status Control Module (SCM) outside the temperature limits can cause the following problems to occur:

  • The LCD display may be blank, have missing segments, or may be erratic.

  • Other internal component failures

The status control modules are factory installed in Caterpillar enclosures that are intended to be remotely mounted from the engine. The Caterpillar enclosure is not intended to be installed in a larger customer supplied enclosure.

Control modules that are installed in a customer supplied enclosure with a glass or plastic display window should be kept out of direct sunlight. It may be necessary to relocate the enclosure to an area where shade is available. Relocating the customer supplied enclosure away from external heat sources may also reduce the operating temperature of the SCM. Contact the manufacturer of the enclosure for recommendations for reducing heat.

Note: Damage to the SCM that is caused by overheating is not covered by the warranty.
