Monitoring System
SMCS - 7490

Functional Test
Check the operation of the monitoring system. Observe the self-adjusting and the testing procedure
when you start the engine.

If the action alarm does not sound during this test or machine
monitoring displays are not functioning, do not operate the machine
until the cause has been corrected. Machine operation with faulty action
alarms or displays could result in injury or death as any Warning
Category 3 notifications will not be relayed to the operator.

The self testing feature verifies that the modules of the monitoring system are properly operating.
The self testing feature verifies that the display module is properly operating.

The internal circuits are automatically checked. The outputs (display, action light, and the action
alarm) are automatically checked.

The operator must observe the outputs in order to determine if the modules are operating properly.
This self testing feature is three seconds long.

During the self test, all alert indicators (3) flash.

The digital display windows (6) and (7) show the following readouts:

l All indicators of units (Deg C, kPa, rpm, and liters)

l "X100"

l Symbol for the hour meter

l "8.8.8.X8.8" readout

The pointers in the quad gauge (4) point upward. Then, the pointers point to the left. Then, the
pointers point to the right. Then, the pointers point to the final position.

l The readout of the gear shows "**".

l The speed readout shows "188", "MPH", and "km/h".

system will display the modes.

Alert Indicators

View Image

Illustration 1 g01108870

Action Lamp (1) - There are two

action lamps. One action lamp is on the
Gauge cluster. The other action lamp is
located on the right console. If the
operator is facing rearward, this will
alert the operator.

Electrical System (2) - This panel

indicates a malfunction in the electrical
system. If this alert indicator flashes,
the system voltage is too high or too
low for machine operation.

Increase the engine speed to high idle, if the electrical loads are high. The electric loads consist of the
air conditioning and/or the lighting. An alternator will generate more output when the engine is at
high idle. If the alert indicator for the electrical system stops within one minute, the electrical system
is operating normally. During the periods of low engine speeds, the alternator is overloaded.

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/content.jsp?calledpage=/sisweb/sisweb/medias... 2/3/2006
Service Information System Page 3 of 29

Modify the operating cycle. This will prevent the electrical system from overloading. This will also
prevent the electrical system from discharging the batteries. You can also reduce the loads on the
electrical system. Use the medium fan speed in the cab instead of the high fan speed.

Run the engine speed at normal rpm. Run the electrical system at a light load. If the light remains on,
drive the machine to a convenient stop. Investigate the cause of the problem. The cause may be a
loose alternator belt, a broken alternator belt, a faulty battery, a faulty alternator, etc.
