FEATURES
  ADEM™ A3 control system providing integrated
• - Filtered oil pressure
ignition, speed governing, protection, and controls, - Coolant (water) temperature
including detonation-sensitive variable ignition timing. - Oil temperature
• Integrated air/fuel ratio control (AFRC) is available on - Engine speed
specified models. - Battery voltage
- Service hours
• The standard A3 ignition and control system is certified - Oil filter differential pressure
by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use - Detonation
in Class I, Division 2, Group D hazardous locations. - Manifold inlet air pressure
• The A3 control will accept remote speed input signals - Coolant (JW) outlet pressure
of either 4-20 mA or 0-5 V. - Coolant (JW) inlet pressure
• Compact remote-mounted Advisor instrument panel - Left turbocharger inlet temperature
provides fully electronic display of engine operating - Right turbocharger inlet temperature
parameters and diagnostic/ troubleshooting codes. - Cylinder port temperature
- Cylinder port temperature deviation from average
• Modular wiring design supports a wide range of engine
(high or low)
attachment options with a single harness part number.
- Engine oil to engine coolant differential temperature
• Optional PL1000E communications module provides - Improper gas control valve response
access to engine operating parameters in Modbus - O2 level sensor
protocol, simplifying integration of engine data into
remote master controls. The PL1000E may be mounted Factory-designed systems built at Caterpillar
inside the Advisor panel. ISO 9001:2000 certified facilities.
• Engine operating parameters available on the
A3 system include:
- Unfiltered oil pressure

BENEFITS
  Reliable and Durable Product
• • Serviceable Product
- A3 components have been proven reliable through - A3 system set-up and troubleshooting are performed
years of experience on G3600, G3500B, and diesel using the Electronic Technician (ET) service tool,
engine models. common to a wide range of Caterpillar products.
-A
 3 architecture is robust by design, using solid- - System diagnostic codes linked to published
state modules designed for extreme environments troubleshooting procedures help speed up servicing,
and harnessing with fewer terminal connections to minimizing engine down time.
minimize potential sources of trouble. - Simple system architecture improves access to
engine service points and minimizes parts stocking
requirements.
