Eco-Star model ECO501-CW (Work Truck Applications) 2009-2019 Ford E-Series

The Eco-Star ECO501-CW is an automatic engine stop/start system that provides enhanced fuel economy, lower vehicle emissions, and allows an operator to remotely control engine stop/start. Vehicle fuel economy is improved by automatically shutting off the vehicle’s engine to prevent unnecessary idling. Restarts can be automatically triggered by low battery voltage, applying the Service Brake or user restart requests. With the battery charge protect feature, auto restarts can prevent a dead battery situation. Two separate battery system inputs allow auto restarts from either battery source. Additionally, a user has the ability to request the ignition to remain off after a shutdown, thus minimizing the draw on the battery and further reducing engine idle time. A hood switch interlock input disables the system when the hood is open. Auto restarts are preceded by a warning beeper sound.

If a temperature activated auto-restart is desired, an optional thermistor may be attached to the Engine On
input. Instructions for this option can be found in the Eco-Star App Notes found at www.Intermotive.net.

The following are the default vehicle safety and conditions for Auto Stop and Auto Restart. These and other parameters may be altered to suit specific needs, using a laptop and InterMotive communication cable.
