InPower developed the SS-GM-01, a start/stop control module for 2017-2019 General Motors C3500 to C6500 trucks that are manufactured with power take-off (PTO) and remote PTO controls enabled. 

“With proper application of the SS-GM-01 start/stop control module, our customers will be able to implement a fully integrated and reliable system for start/stop control of the chassis engine,” said J. Patrick Sullivan, InPower’s Operations Manager. 

When first powered up, the SS-GM-01 will be in Engine Off Mode. When a momentary ground is applied to Input 1, the start/stop module will activate the remote start sequence. Once the engine is running, if a momentary ground is again applied to Input 1, the start/stop module will activate the remote stop sequence. In addition, the SS-GM-01 may be programmed to provide other functions, such as dual voltage monitoring of chassis and auxiliary batteries, and frequency/time measurement.   

“Along with providing a reliable start/stop interface, our new start/stop module can be readily customized,” said Sullivan. “The additional frequency measuring input pin can monitor a variety of signals, while the extra output can be used to activate PTO Set 2 High Idle Speed. There are also two voltage monitoring pins. Since every application is different, we encourage customers to contact us for assistance in fully defining how the SS-GM-01 can best be utilized for them.”
