Engine Protection Device
Requirements for
G-Drive Engines
This AEB has been compiled to clarify Cummins requirements regarding engine protection (safety) devices for the
current G-Drive product range and to introduce the new mandatory requirement for coolant level/pressure device for
KV engines.
1. Active Coolant Pressurization will be introduced on “KV” G-Drive engines during 1995. A separate bulletin will
be issued to cover this subject and its directives on associated safety devices.
2. The recommended minimum engine block coolant temperature for sustained operation is 160 ×F (71×C).
Engines operated for prolonged periods (over 0.5 hours) with engine block coolant temperatures below the
recommended value may suffer reduced durability to water pumps and cylinder liners.
3. Low Coolant Pressure is considered to be either an optional shutdown device which can be used in conjunction
with a Low Coolant Level alarm or suitable as an alternative shutdown device to a Low Coolant Level shutdown
device.
Tables 1a & 1b on Page 2, detail the recommended settings of the engine protection devices and optional
device settings where appropriate.
“Activates” & “Deactivates” relate to the action of the engine protection device not the reaction which the device
triggers.
For example;
The Low Oil Pressure switch “activates” upon reaching 35PSI (+/-2PSI) and positions the contacts of the
switch so that an engine shutdown is not applied. As oil pressure falls to 25PSI (+/-2PSI) the switch
“deactivates” and positions the contacts of the switch so that an engine shutdown is applied.
Table 2a on Page 3, details the mandatory requirements of engine protection for all G-Drive applications.
Table 2b on Page 3, details the preferred and optional requirements for all G-Drive applications.
Notes:-·
• The tolerance on the above devices is +/- 14 kPa (+/- 2 PSI) and +/- 2×C (+/- 3×F)·
• Standby & Prime / Continuous operation HCT switches are based on a 220×F (104×C) maximum design
Top Tank Temperature.·
• ***The “L” engine family utilize the “Optional” 12PSI Low Oil Pressure switch setting rather than the 25PSI
setting which is used by all other engine families at this time. ·
• Engines cannot be operated at “Idle” when using the 25PSI switch.·
• ** It should be noted that the Low Coolant Temperature switch parameters are designed for indicating to the
user that the engine coolant heater system is not performing and the non-started engine is not being
warmed for Standby application. It is not designed to indicate that the coolant temperature of a running
engine is low.·
• The Low Coolant Temperature switch parameters given in the Optional column would indicate that the
coolant temperature of a running engine is low, i.e.; below 160×F (71×C). Refer to Note#2, Page 1.·—
• — In general, steady state coolant pressure should not fall below 25PSI. However, variation in water pump
design, cooling system design and variations in engine performance during transient load application may
require the use of an “Activation” setting different to that which is shown.

Mandatory , Preferred & Optional Requirements
PREFERRED OPTIONAL
• Part.No.’s and Option No.’s are given for reference. There is no requirement that these devices should
be purchased from Cummins.
• TBA denotes that preferred Part.No.’s can be provided upon request, by the local Application Engineering
representative.
• * This PLOP switch is used when a 12PSI LOP switch is used. No PLOP switch is currently released for
use with 25PSI LOP switch.
• All part numbers shown, except the LCL sensor, are 3 pin, molded “metri-pak” connector type, voltage
rated between 12 to 32 Volt and single element. The LCL is a 4 blade terminal sensor, 12 to 32 volt rated.
• For devices rated above 32Volt and adapter harnesses for “metri-pak” connectors, consult your G-Drive
Sales Handbook or local Application Engineering representative.
