EL240™ Panel Operation

and Troubleshooting

Introduction
This document provides general information on LOFA™ EL240 panel operation and troubleshooting.
EL240 control panels are a flexible platform for diesel engine control, monitoring, and protection,
featuring LOFA’s powerful First Fault Diagnostics (FFD). After pinpointing the initial failure, FFD stores
it in memory and alerts the end user via a single bright LED. FFD monitors battery charge, low oil
pressure, high temperature and up to two additional contact closure inputs. The microprocessor-based
solid-state design uses high-power semiconductors instead of outdated electromechanical relays to
ensure reliable high-current switching.

The EL240 can be factory configured with specific preheat and afterglow requirements. Alternately
preheat can be factory configured for indication from external preheat control. If preheat is not
required, this output can function as an alarm.

All standard panels include feature a 12 inch wiring harness terminating into a sealed weather
proof plug. This robust universal wiring connection performs well in harsh environments and allows
interchanging a number of different panels and harnesses. This design allows for simplified installation
as well as a flexible means to incorporate custom plug-and-play engine wiring harnesses and standard
harness extension

Note
The engine harness is not included with the panel.

A number of standard engine harnesses are available or

LOFA can develop a custom harness for your exact needs.

Generic harnesses in various lengths are available for field customization.

Warning!
When replacement parts are required, LOFA Industries recommends using replacement parts
supplied by LOFA or parts with equivalent specifications.

Failure to heed this warning can lead to premature failure,

product damage, personal injury or death.
