C280-12 Tier 4

Long-lasting and reliable, like all the engines in the C280 line. The C280 engine also meets EPA Tier II standards and takes advantage of the latest EUI fuel system capabilities and the innovative ADEM™ A3 electronic control unit (ECU). As with most Caterpillar engines, the C280-12 delivers great power combined with extraordinary fuel efficiency. It comes with extended maintenance intervals and a worldwide Caterpillar service and parts network.

ECU A3

 

• CAN J1939 data link • Waterproof connectors • Maintenance free • Backup ECU for redundant regulation

 

Advantages Electronic System

 

• Load Feedback • Programmable Droop • Adjustable Gain • Adjustable Air/Fuel Ratio Control • Engine Operation Histograms • Cat Messenger Display with Engine Diagnostic Parameters

 

Benefits of Data Via JI939 Link

 

• Engine speed • Boost pressure • Throttle position • Fuel consumption rate • Intake manifold temperature • Diagnostic codes and events • Configuration • Desired engine speed • Battery voltage • Engine load • Running totals – engine hours, fuel burned, fuel idle, idle hours • Trip totals – average fuel flow, idle fuel, idle hours, engine hours, fuel burned, trip reset

 

User Interface Panel

 

• Interfaces with Cat® Marine monitoring system (PLC in price list) • Provides visual indication of ECU functionality • Accepts 4 – 20 mA or PWM remote throttle speed input • Marine alarm and protection

 

Electronic Unit Injectors

 

• “Drop-in” installation • No threaded fuel connections • High pressure only inside the injector • No double-walled fuel line or leak catcher required • No injector synchronization required
