3500B Application Application Information
Using the 3500B Training Aid Application The 3500B Training Aid is intended to be used with the Caterpillar Electronic Service Tool for full functionality. Automatic Ether Injection On the 3500B engine, automatic ether injection is controlled by the ECM. The ECM monitors engine coolant temperature and determines when to inject ether. Drivers in the ECM are used to control relays that provide the high currents needed to activate the ether injection solenoid. Injector Electronic Trim 3500B engines are equipped with an injector electronic trim feature. When an injector is installed in the engine, the mechanic can read a four digit trim code on the injector tappet and enter the code into the ECM using an Electronic Service Tool. The ECM can then optimize injection for that particular injector. Programmable Monitoring System Some 3500B engines include a programmable monitoring system feature. The ECM can monitor parameters and provide warnings, engine derates, and engine shutdowns depending on the status of the parameter. An ET service tool can be used to view and change the monitoring system settings. Usually there will be factory security on some monitoring system parameters, but for the purpose of this 3500B Training Aid, the security has been disabled. Crankcase Pressure Monitoring On 3500B engines, the ECM can monitor absolute crankcase pressure. Atmospheric pressure is then subtracted from absolute crankcase pressure to get gauge crankcase pressure. Gauge crankcase pressure is then used to trigger engine warnings, derates and shutdowns. In general, high crankcase pressure could indicate a problem with the engine’s pistons, rings, or liners. Exhaust Temperature Monitoring On 3500B engines, the ECM directly monitors the exhaust to turbo temperatures for each bank of cylinders (left and right). Exhaust temperatures are then used to trigger engine warnings, derates and shutdowns. High exhaust temperatures are usually the result of high altitude running or excessive inlet air restriction.

Using the Sensor Overrides Sensor override slider controls are provided on the 3500B Training Aid Simulator screen. These overrides are used to set sensor values to higher or lower than normal settings. The slider controls can be accessed by pressing the “Manual Sensor Override” button on the Simulator screen. A window will appear that allows you to adjust oil pressure, coolant (Jacket Water) temperature , right and left exhaust temperature and crankcase temperature. The window can be closed and the override will remain active if “Override Values” is enabled. The “Manual Sensor Override” button turns red when any sensor is overridden. Override Sensor Values

The ECM will not inject ether unless the coolant temperature is low. To use the sensor overrides to set the coolant temperature low before starting the engine, follow these steps:
The Caterpillar Engine Simulator 3500B-6
3500B Application Application Information
1.
At the Simulator screen, select ON-SCREEN.
2.
Set the Component ignition keyswitch to ON.
3.
Click once on the MANUAL SENSOR OVERRIDE button. The Override Sensors window will appear.
4.
In the Override Sensors window, set the coolant temperature to the bottom of the slider control (-40°F). Lower temperatures cause the ECM to automatically inject ether longer.
5.
Depress and release the CRANK button on the keyswitch.
6.
Observe the ether relays and solenoid turn red, indicating that they are energized.
7.
Once automatic injection is completed, depress and hold the ETHER MANUAL switch to inject more ether.
Injector Electronic Trim Electronic trim codes can be entered for each cylinder using the ET service tool. The Training Aid must be in the Simulator mode with the keyswitch turned ON so the ECM receives power. The ECM will accept trim codes while the engine is running or stopped. Refer to your ET manuals for more information about operating ET and entering injection trim codes.

Programmable Monitoring System The programmable monitoring system can be viewed and changed during operation of the Training Aid. Depending on the monitoring system settings, the ECM may provide warnings (via ET), derate the engine, or shut the engine down during operation. The current status of all monitoring system warnings, derates and shutdowns appears near the top of the ET screen as a short text message. Status Monitor

Engine 3508B Training Aid Press the Change button to change a parameter state, trip, point, or delay time.
You can also view and change monitoring system setpoints for warnings, derates and shutdowns. In the Monitoring System window, click once on a parameter line to select it and click the CHANGE button. A window appears that allows you to change the state, trip point or delay time of the Monitoring System parameter. Then, by using the sensor overrides or other Simulator controls, you can demonstrate various warnings, derate and shutdown actions on the 3500B Training Aid. Example You can override coolant temperature to 103°C and then observe the warning appear on the ET screen after a one-second delay. You can also lengthen the delay time.
