STARTER MOTOR
The MC704 panels are offered in two versions. The MC704HP has a built-in tamperproof LED hourmeter
while the reduced cost MC704LCP eliminates the hourmeter. The G4 variant includes up to four 2 inch
gauges. All panel versions can be factory configured with specific preheat & afterglow requirements. 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.
Warning
When replacement parts are required, LOFA Industries recommends using replacement parts
supplied by LOFA or parts with equivalent specifications.
Do not operate or perform any maintenance or repair on this product until all operation,
maintenance and repair information is read and understood.
The information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are based on information
available at the time of publication.
Operation
Turning the control system key to the run position starts a self-test which causes all LEDs to flash three times,
activates the alarm output (if preheat is not used) for one second and enables the fuel run/stop solenoid
output. After self-test, the LEDs indicate the state of the inputs they monitor. The normal indications are
battery charge and oil pressure on most applications. If these LEDs are not illuminated at this time it may
indicate the inputs are not properly connected.
The Preheat/OK LED begins to blink when the key switch is turned to the run position if automatic preheat is
configured (See Preheat Options). Preheat time varies from application to application. After waiting for the
Preheat/OK LED to become solid, the engine is cranked by turning and holding the key switch in the start
position until the engine starts. The key switch is spring loaded to return automatically to the run position
when released.
Note
The key switch is equipped with a mechanical start locking device.
An attempt to re-crank the engine can only be made by turning the key switch
to the off position to reset the start locking mechanism.
If the engine is not started within 30 seconds of turning on the system, the fuel run/stop solenoid output is
turned off to prevent battery discharge when the key switch is left in the run position. The fuel run/stop
solenoid output is turned off after 30 seconds even if preheating. As soon as the key switch is turned to the
start position the solenoid output is enabled. The afterglow cycle begins when the key switch returns to the
run position.
Note
If conditions do not warrant preheat, the engine may be started by turning the key to the start
position without waiting for the preheat time to expire.
Control system instrument power, including the hourmeter and voltmeter, is provided by the fuel run/stop
solenoid output. If the instruments do not power up when the key is turned to the run position, this indicates
a problem with the solenoid circuit (see Troubleshooting).
After the engine starts, the control system electronics ignore all shutdown conditions for the first 10 seconds.
This delay eliminates the requirement to hold a by-pass override button during starting and allows the system
conditions such as oil pressure to normalize. The 10 second timer starts when the key switch returns to the
run position.
Note
Starter input is required for correct system operation. If the starter motor input is not activated
(connected to battery positive) and the engine is started through another means (i.e. air
starter) the engine will shutdown 30 seconds after the key switch is turned to the run position.
To prevent unintentional engine shutdowns caused by intermittent conditions (i.e., pressure spikes, coolant
movement) the control system requires a constant 1/3 second fault input to cause engine shutdown.
Warning
When used in combination with mechanical float type switches
engine vibrations may prevent constant contact closure.

LOFA MC704 and MC704 G4 Operation and Troubleshooting
Preheat Options
Preheat Output
Preheat is a 3A positve output for control of an external power relay with predetermined preheat and
afterglow times. A relay should be selected with appropriate amperage capacity for the installed cold starting
aid (glowplug, intake air heater, etc.). Applications using multiple cold starting aids may require multiple
relays.
Note
Consult engine documentation when selecting cold starting aid,
power relay and heating specifications.
Indicators
Warning
Low oil pressure is not an indication of low oil level.
Note
Most shutdown switches are grounded through the switch body.
Do not use insulating sealant (i.e. Teflon tape) when installing switches.
sender/switch combinations, swapping the WK or W and G terminal can cause unintended shutdowns. The
system can be configured for temperature failure to indicate only.
Warning
If the temperature switch is not in contact with coolant due to
coolant loss the engine is not protected from overheating.
Note
Most shutdown switches are grounded through the switch body.
Do not use insulating sealant (i.e. Teflon tape) when installing switches.
Some thermostat housings are composites and do not provide ground for the switch.
Harness
Sealed Connectors
The provided sealed weather proof plug includes a grey locking device which must be released to separate
the connectors. Press the tab on the connector housing to release the connectors.
Warning
LOFA does not recommend using dielectric grease or sealant with sealed connectors.
These chemicals may cause seal damage and allow water entry.
Use LOFA provided cavity plugs to seal the connector if wires are removed.
Unsealed Connectors
For unsealed connectors exposed to the elements, LOFA recommends using dielectric grease to protect
contacts.
Warning
LOFA does not recommend using sealant with unsealed connectors.
Sealant traps moisture in the connector and encourages corosion.
Harness Routing
The minimum routing of radius of the wiring harnesses should be at least two times the diameter of the
wiring harness. Bends should be avoided within 1 inch (25 mm) of any connector in order to avoid seal
distortion allowing moisture to enter the connector.
Note
For harness length in excess of 10 ft a relay must be added to the start solenoid circuit.
LOFA offers starter relay kits for mounting near the engine.
Protection for the unswitched battery positive circuit is dependent on specific equipment configuration. The
overload protection should not exceed 125% of the sum of all output currents plus 5 Amps for the control
system. Powering the control system through dedicated circuits with appropriate overload protection reduces
the possibility of system damage.
Circuit breakers are preferred over in-line fuses for circuit protection. Over current protection devices should
ideally be located in a central location. If automatic reset circuit breakers are used, consideration of the
environment of the breaker is critical and may affect the trip point. The trip point of some circuit breakers
can be significantly reduced below the rated trip point if the circuit breaker is exposed to high temperatures.
Warning
Disconnecting the battery while the engine is running
may damage electrical components.
All ground paths must be capable of carrying any likely fault currents.
Do not reverse the battery polarity. Attempting to crank the engine when the polarity of the
battery connections is reversed may damage the control system.
Note
A maximum of three ring terminals should be connected to a ground stud in order to ensure
integrity of the ground connection. The use of more than three terminals can cause the
connection to become loose.
Voltage Drop
If control system voltage drops below 6 volts for more than one tenth of a second, the control system may
reset causing the self test to reactivate and the engine to shutdown after 30 seconds. Resetting the control
system is equivalent to quickly turning the key switch to off and back to run without starting the engine. Since
the control system did not sense a start signal, the fuel run/stop solenoid deactivates after 30 seconds.
Voltage drops can be caused by transients from external equipment, improper wire sizes, faulty wiring or
nearby lightning strikes. In the absence of a LOFA Power Box, relays may be needed for long wire runs.
Inductive devices such as relays, solenoids and motors generate voltage transients and noise in electrical
circuits. Unsuppressed voltage transients can exceed SAE specifications and damage electronic controls.
Relays and solenoids with built-in voltage transient suppression diodes are recommended whenever possible.
Refer to the illustration for proper installation of diodes when built-in voltage transient suppression is not
available.
Locate inductive devices as far as possible from the components of the electronic control system. When
using electric motors it may also be necessary to add isolation relays to eliminate voltage transients, noise
and prevent back feed.
Note
LOFA harness assemblies typically include all required engine control suppression devices.
Added equipment will require additional protection.
The following procedure must be followed if the component must be welded while installed on equipment
with electronic controls. This procedure will minimize the risk of component damage.
Warning
Do not ground the welder to electrical components such as the control ground or sensors.
Improper grounding can cause damage to electrical components
Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the component being welded. Place the clamp
as close as possible to the weld to reduce the possibility of damage.
1. Stop the engine. Turn the key switch to the OFF position.
5. Connect the welding ground cable as close as possible to the area to be welded.

Note
Most shutdown switches are grounded through the switch body.
Do not use insulating sealant (i.e. Teflon tape) when installing switches.
Some thermostat housings are composites and do not provide ground for the switch.
Warning
The Power Box is reverse polarity protected but may be damaged by attempting to start the
engine with battery polarity reversed.
When the fuel solenoid input is enabled, the fuel run/stop solenoid pull coil is enabled for the first second. In
normal operation, all other Power Box outputs are active as long as their corresponding inputs are active.

1- Product description - Lubrication
The gear pump situated at the end of the drive shaft draws oil from the oil reservoir and lubricates the parts
of the compressor.
Oil flow
When the compressors start operating, the gear pump draws oil from the reservoir and pumps it through
an oil passage in the shaft.
The oil then flows through ports in the shaft to lubricate the bearings and the shaft seal.
The area between the swash plate and the shoes is lubricated by the splashing action of the oil flowing
through the thrust bearings.
The compressor remains constantly lubricated thanks to the oil circulating together with the refrigerant.
Valeo compressor innovative internal design ensures that almost no oil remains mixed with the refrigerant
that is flushed into the air conditioning system.
Refrigerant itself plays a lubricant role to prevent the compressor to be damaged in case of oil shortage.

3- Handling instructions
Maintenance precautions
Work area
Because the components of air conditioners are
especially sensitive to moisture, dirt and rust,
always observe the following:
• Work indoors whenever possible
• Select a flat ground work area
• Keep the work area clean
• Select a work area with adequate ventilation.
CAUTION!
Refrigerant itself is not harmful, but
excessive accumulation in a closed area can
cause oxygen deficiency.
WARNING!
Contact with flame and high temperatures
Safety glasses can generate toxic gases.
Gloves
Refrigerant handling
WARNING!
Direct contact with refrigerant can cause
frostbite or blindness.
Always wear safety glasses and protective
gloves.
Do not work with refrigerant close to your
face.

3- Handling instructions
Do not release refrigerant into 2. Do not release refrigerant into the air
the air Although HFC-134a is not subject to CFC regulations,
it can have effect on global warming and so should
FILL
AUTO
not be released into the air. When removing
refrigerant from the air conditioner system, always
use a refrigerant recovery unit made especially for
HFC-134a.
Compressor handling
Recovery unit Do not strike or unnecessarily turn the compressor
upside down. If the compressor is knocked over or
turned upside down during handling or installation,
rotate the armature plate 5 or 6 times by hand to
circulate the oil.
Otherwise, oil in the cylinder during compressor
start-up will cause valve damage and reduce
durability.
Compressor removal
When the compressor is operational
1. Perform the oil return operation (see p.18).
2. Recover the refrigerant from the system using
a refrigerant recovery unit.
3. Remove the compressor.
4. Drain the oil from the compressor and close all
open connections immediately.
5. Check the oil quantity and the degree of
contamination (see p.19).
- 17 -
3- Handling instructions
Oil return operation
Compressor oil mixed with refrigerant is circulating
in the air conditioning system.
Perform the oil return operation to return this oil to
the compressor before removing components from
the system.
1. Open the doors and windows and operate the
blower motor at maximum speed.
2. Operate the vehicle engine at idling during at
least 20 minutes.
Note: The maximum amount of oil cannot be
recovered at higher speeds. This operation also
requires a warm ambient temperature.
Oil handling
Oil specification
Use only ZXL 100PG (DH-PS) or POE oil.
Handling precautions
1. The oil must be free from dust, metal filings,
etc.
2. Do not mix oils.
3. The moisture content must not exceed 1,000
ppm. (PAG oil only)
4. The oil easily absorbs moisture when the
container is open. Therefore always seal the
container immediately after use.

Oil level at inclination
conditions
Compressor lateral inclination and front lifting at
the same time are allowed so consider this factor
during sight glass inspection (distorted indication).
5˚
Oil level inspection should be conducted at low
compressor speed or compressor stopped. Sight
glass cannot be used at high compressor speed
because oil surface is not visible and a mixture of
refrigerant and oil is formed.
CAUTION!
Be careful on rotating parts and high
temperature parts.
5˚
Front Lifting
In most of bus rear application, the front end of
the compressor is lifted to fit the inclination of the
engine.
1. Oil level at sight glass: oil level is distorted.
2. Oil amount: quantity appears lower than
recommended but the level is actually correct,
you do not need to add more oil.
Lateral Inclination
15˚ 1. Oil level at sight glass: one sight glass will look
completely covered with oil while the other
will look inferior to recommendation or even
empty.
2. Oil amount: in this case, some of the oil is
below oil passage level, therefore you should
consider adding some oil to fill in the dead
volume that appears in the illustration on the
left.

3- Handling instructions
Oil contamination
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the
compressor oil. Even if the compressor is run for a
long time, the oil never becomes turbid as long as
there is nothing wrong with the compressor or its
method of use. Inspect the extracted oil for any of
the following.
• Increased opacity of the oil.

4- Troubleshooting
Compressor troubleshooting
When a trouble occurs during the compressor operation, it is often difficult to pinpoint exactly the
cause of the malfunction.
As long as the compressor maintenance is done correctly, there should not be any problem throughout
the whole vehicle life, but in case it ever happens, we hope this troubleshooting can help you solve
the issue efficiently.
Below are listed most of the troubles you may encounter while the A/C is ON.
Please refer to the compressor troubleshooting tree to localize the malfunction symptom, then look at
the table (p.24 - 25) for the appropriate measure.
In case of insufficient cooling capacity, we recommand that you prepare a gauge manifold to measure
the pressure of both discharge and suction sides (for a detailed diagnosis by gauge pressure, see p.26
- 27).
