Description.
An effective driver assistance system to prevent
engine damage before it occurs

• Engine block temperature
• Oil pressure
• Coolant level

3
Main features.

• Display panel on dash board.
• Audio and visual warnings.
• Two-stage temperature response.
• Warnings are followed by engine shut down before
  damage occurs.
• Engine shut down events are stored in memory, to
  be recalled afterwards.
• Digital outputs to external devices, such as
  fleet management systems.
• Suitable for high temperature engines.
• Suitable for high operating temperatures.

4
Benefits.

• Engine damaged is effectively prevented.
• Drivers are assisted to take preventative action.
• Large repair costs are prevented.
• Loss of production due to down time is prevented.
• Vehicle productivity and customer service is
  improved.
• Reduced expenses result in increased profit.
• Low cost installation.

5
Operation.

• Temperature
• Engine METAL temperature is monitored,
  independent of the vehicles temperature sensor.
• Two stage response
• Audio and visual warning when engine starts to
  rise above normal.
• Engine is shut down when temperature rises
  further to near dangerous levels.
• Engine temperature has to return to normal before
  the system resets.
• Temperature response levels are according to
  manufacturer specifications.
• Covers all sources of overheating.

6
Operation.(continued)

• Oil pressure
• Oil pressure is monitored from the vehicles oil
  pressure switch.
• After starting the engine a time of 10 seconds is
  allowed for the pressure to stabilise.
• If the oil pressure fails at any time, the engine
  is shut down immediately, before damage can
  occur.
• This display indicates the status and the event
  is stored in memory.
• Water level
• An independent float switch is installed in the
  expansion tank.
• When the coolant drops below the allowed minimum,
  a warning will alert the driver.
• If the warning is ignored, the engine will be
  shut down.

Competitive advantages.

• Engine metal temperature is monitored, as opposed
  to water temperature. This advanced approach
  renders much faster response time, and covers all
  causes of over heating.
• Rising engine temperature is detected long before
  water temperature rises, improving engine
  protection.
• Maximum temperature parameters are programmed
  according to engine specifications of the
  specific vehicle.
• Two temperature parameters are used, the first as
  a warning of rising temperature, and the second
  to shut the engine down when a dangerous level is
  approached.
• Digital outputs can be connected to any fleet
  management system.
• Suitable for all engines, 12 and 24 Volt DC.
• Suitable for plant and machinery.
• The system features an advanced micro processor,
  incorporating the latest technology, rendering
  extreme accuracy and split second response time.
• Audible warnings alert the driver while his
  concentration is on the road.
• Visual display indicates status of engine
  temperature, water level and oil pressure
  continuously.
• Onboard memory gives evidence of the most recent
  occurrences of violations.
• The system is non volatile and stable under all
  operating conditions.

Technical.

• Technologically advanced micro processor.
• Ultra fast response times of less than 1 second
• Memory is fully protected Not affected by power
  failures, etc.
• Built in protection against
• Voltage fluctuations and surges.
• Electromagnetic disturbance.
• Radio and cell phone interference
• Reversed polarity.
• Vibrations.
• High humidity.
• Electrical spikes.
• Suitable for high humidity operating conditions.
• 3 digital outputs for connecting to recording and
  communication equipment
• 1. Engine temperature above normal
  (driver warning)
• 2. Engine temperature dangerous (engine
  shut down)
• 3. Oil pressure failure (engine shut
  down)
• Power consumption With engine running 110 mA
  
  With engine off
  35 mA.
• Power supply 12 or 24 volt DC
• Cut off circuit capacity 30 amp.
