JAD T-Can Engine Protection System
Scania engine protection

The T-Can Engine Protection System functions as a reliable and cost-effective engine protection system. JAD Systems' T-Can units are assembled and tested in-house, using a simulation and configuration platform developed specifically for the T-Can unit.

Features & overview

A Dash mount controller module
  • Based on an arm cortex micro controller;
  • Certified to comply with the vehicle directive standard;
  • Dual mode of communication available but set to operate as a pure listener device while installed, having no effect on the truck CAN communications network;
  • Configurable for various features, but as to Scania requirements currently protects the truck against coolant loss, overheating, oil pressure loss and idle abuse. 
  • Reports and records internal system failure or CAN sensor network failure;
  • Fail over to a non-intrusive default where truck is not disabled.

Kill Mode
  • On detection of critical conditions through the CAN network, the T-Can unit will display a warning signal, (an LED light) and then shut down the truck's engine within seconds;
  • The T-Can unit will not allow engine restart for ten minutes, thus allowing the engine to cool down. After ten minutes the unit allows restart of engine for 90 seconds in a limping mode to allow the truck driver to move the vehicle to a safe area;
  • When the problem that caused the failure has been repaired, the unit will no longer detect a critical condition and allow the truck to continue on its way, until another failure is detected;
  • Note that the LED warning signals will stay active for ten minutes after a failure has been detected, however if the fault is repaired within that time the kill mode will deactivate as soon as it detects no failure/critical condition.

Wiring harness
  • Installation without disturbance or splicing /weakening of the truck wiring.
