3.3.9 Setting Senders For Input Failures.
The “Switch/Sender” screen window gives the user the option to choose how the
GSC300 will recognize a low oil or high temperature failure. Failure values may be set
for both low Oil and High Temperature levels by using the oil or temperature gauges
themselves or choosing the values from a table, right from the “Switch/Sender” main
window. If Fuel is chosen as a sender, there will be no requirement to choose the value
point in the standard GSC300. The fuel as a sender would indicate the current level of
fuel available. See a description of each sender below:
1.
OIL:
The oil Switch or Sender option determines how the GSC300 will recognize
an oil failure condition. In the oil section of the “Switch/Sender” window the
user is faced with both Switch and Sender options. If the user chooses the
switch option, the GSC will use the value setting directly from the gauge
(see gauge manufactures instructions for proper value settings). When the
switch option is selected either NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed)
may be choosing. In an NO condition the switch contacts will be normally
open when the oil pressure is good, and closed when pressure reach
below the choosing set point. In an NC condition the switch contacts will be
normally closed when the oil pressure is good, and opened when pressure
reach below the choosing set point. If the user chooses the sender option,
the GSC will use a value that the user specifies from a setpoint table.
When choosing the Sender option, the user must select the type of gauge
being used from the dropdown list. After the gauge type has been selected
the user may select a failure value by simply clicking the “setpoint” features
button. The “setpoint” button will bring up a table with the values to choose
from. These values will be in PSI. The user is given the option of choosing
between a 0.5 to 6 second time delay for oil pressure shutdown.
After choosing the value that the GSC will recognize as a failure, click OK
from the table window. Be advised that caution must be taken when
choosing a failure value. Choosing a value that is too low would cause the
GSC300 to never fail since the value of the sender would always be above
