Market Marine
Application Marine Propulsion
Description Marine Power Display is a monitoring system for
electronically controlled Caterpillar marine engines. It
provides instantaneous engine and transmission
information. The Marine Power Display unit measures
147.93 mm (5.82 in.) high x 228.68 mm (9 in.) wide x
47.65 mm (1.88 in.) deep. The high resolution screen (320
by 240 pixels) is a fully graphic, transflective, positive
image LCD with adjustable illumination levels. Red LED
edge lighting for gauges and function buttons provides low
light level visibility. The alarm and internal components
are sealed to 34.48 kPa (5 psi) and will operate in a
temperature range of -20° to 70° C (-4° to 158° F). An
SAE J1939 data link provides information from the engine
ECM to the display module.
Features/Benefits Marine Power Display is easy to use and offers many of
the same features and capabilities as Engine Vision in a
lower cost package. The unit is compact, durable, and
protected against adverse temperatures and weather
conditions. The display screen provides excellent visibility
in all lighting conditions. With the screen builder software,
customized screens can be designed by three different
users to display different engine parameters on different
sizes and types of gauges. The custom screen files can be
flashed to the Marine Power Display using the Caterpillar
Electronic Service Tool (ET). An audible alarm alerts the
engine operator of any active diagnostics.
