Data Mode

NOTE: Activation of service program "Data Mode" does not affect any machine controls and
operations except for the following:

The LED indicators for power mode switch, travel speed control switch, light switch, and wiper switch
come ON only in flashing mode during activation of service program "Data Mode".

The Data Mode contains the following function modes which provide eight categories of information.

1. Power shift pressure.

2. Engine speed.

3. Engine coolant temperature.

4. Hydraulic oil temperature.

5. A/D (Analog/Digital) conversion.

6. Real time error.

7. Digital input.

8. Output control display.

(4) Character display. (17) Power mode selector switch. (18) Power mode III indicator. (36) Alarm
cancel switch. (38) Alarm cancel indicator.

NOTE: To access and view the eight available functions in the "Data Mode", the engine can either be
running or shut down. If the engine is running the eight Data Mode functions can be viewed as operating
values. If the engine is not running the starter switch must be in the "ON" position.

1. Depress and hold alarm cancel switch (36) until alarm cancel indicator (38) starts flashing.

2. While alarm cancel switch (36) is depressed, push power mode selector switch (17) until power mode
III indicator (18) begins to flash. Release alarm cancel switch (36) and power mode selector switch (17).

3. The service program "Data Mode" is now activated and character display (4) will display the first
function mode (power shift pressure) value.

NOTE:

If switch (17) is held too long, the character display will sequence through the eight available function
modes in the "Data Mode" program.

1. Repeatedly push first alarm cancel switch (36) and then power mode switch (17) until the desired
function mode is displayed on character display (4).

2. Each time both switches are pushed, the function mode changes in an increasing number sequence of
the eight function modes in a repetitious manner.

3. At the same time that the function mode character is displayed the corresponding switch indicator
comes on. To determine the function mode selected, look for the switch indicator which is flashing.

NOTE: If alarm cancel switch (36) is depressed for more than 2 seconds the Data Mode stops and
character display (4) displays the engine speed dial position.

NOTE: Accessing the "Data Mode Functions" must be performed in the sequence shown in the
following chart.

Each of the eight Data Mode functions has a designated indicator light. The following chart shows the
eight Data Mode functions and their designated indicator lights:

NOTE: Ports "0" and "1" give no indication of "[ O n] or [ o F] on the character display.

Typical Examples:

[0 9] : Indicates the machine model of "320" or "320 L" excavator with 3066 engine. If a different code
appears in the second and third positions, check the circuit for good grounding.

[010] : Indicates the machine model of "320", "320 L", "320 N", or "320 S" excavator with 3116 engine.
If a different code appears in the second and third positions, check the circuit for good grounding.

[1 1] : Engine speed dial is in position "1".

[110] : Engine speed dial is in position "10".

[1Er] : There is a problem in engine speed dial or circuit between speed dial and controller. (Er:error)

[2On] : Travel pressure switch is ON.

[2oF] : Travel pressure switch is OFF.

NOTE: To check the travel pressure switch, activate the travel control with the pressure switch in ON
position. If the character display does not read [2On], it is an indication of a possible problem in the
travel pressure switch and/or its circuit.
