Warning
1. The installation of this equipment must be carried out by professionals.
2. When installing and operating the meter, please read the entire instruction manual
first.
3. Any maintenance and commissioning of the equipment must be familiar with all the
equipment.
4. t, safety standards and precautions in advance, otherwise it may cause personal
injury or damage to related equipment.
5. The engine must have an overspeed protection device independent of the meter
system to avoid casualties or other damage caused by engine out of control.
6. After the installation of the meter is completed, please verify that all protection
functions are valid.

Be Care

1. Summary
GM50H MK3 is one light and low price-orientated module used for
demonstrating engine RPM,coolant temperature, oil temperature,oil pressure, battery
voltage and Hours. The users can adjust and set the parameters by the button on the
front face in order to meet the different requests.
Besides, it uses the European-style terminals for connection which is more
convenient for installation and detachment.
2. Main Features
There are two models for GM50H MK3 series Meter:
GM50H MK3: monitor and display RPM, Oil Pressure, coolant temperature, oil
temperature, Battery voltage and Accumulation Time with Alarm function added.
GM50HR MK3: Based on the functions of GM50H MK3, RS485 Port is added to
support MODBUS Protocol.
 32bit high performance single chip microcomputer.
 5 screens high-light digital tube can demonstrate the parameters.
 Various kinds of protections.
 Input frequency is available to check RPM.
 Variety of sensor curves' parameters is set inside.
 Sensor curve can be self-defined by buttons.
 It has three analog input channels of sensors, among which the oil pressure
sensor is compatible with voltage signal input;
 The parameters can be set and adjusted by the button on the front face.
With RS485 port, remote data monitoring can be realized by using Modbus
Protocol (only GM50HR has it);
It has high current alarm relay, one normally open and one normally closed output,
which is convenient for users to use;
 Standard coolant-proof rubber gasket. The coolantproof can reach IP54.
 All the connections are adapted with European connectors so that installation,
connection, repair and replacement can be more easily.

Note: If the meter is installed directly
Opening in thesize
genset shell or other fluctuated
equipment, the rubber pad must be installed
.
Battery Voltage Input
GM50H MK3 is suitable for 8-36V DC battery voltage. Battery negative must be
reliably connected to the enclosure of the engine. The meter power supply B+ and B-
must be connected to battery positive and negative, and the wire size must not be
less than 1.5mm2.

NOTE:
In case of floating charger connect charger output to battery positive and negative
directly, then, connect battery positive and negative poles to meter positive and
negative power supply.

Output and relay expansion

Note: All outputs of the meter are relay contacts. The maximum current
capacity is described in the "Parameters" in this manual. Please use it in the relay
current capacity. If an extended relay is needed, add a continuous current diode
(when the extended relay coil is DC) or a resistance-capacitance loop (when the
extended relay coil is AC) to both ends of the coil to prevent interference with the
meter or other equipment.

Withstanding voltage test

If withstanding voltage test is conducted after the meter has already been
installed onto the control panel, please unplug all meter terminal connections in order
to prevent high voltage from damaging it.

9. Warnings and Shutdown Alarms

 Warnings

Notes: Warning is a non-serious failure state, which will not harm the engine
system for the time being. It only reminds operators to pay attention to the situation
that does not meet the requirements and solve it in time to ensure the continuous
operation of the system. When the warning occurs, the engine does not stop. Once
the fault is removed, the warning is automatically canceled.

Under battery voltage warning

When the meter detects that the battery voltage is lower than the "Under battery
voltage warning", Then start warning delay and the duration (Normal alarm delay)
have not returned to normal, the warning of Under battery voltage warning is reported.

lights will light up, bettery display flashing.

 Shutdown Alarms

Warning: After the Shutdown Alarm occurs, the system will be locked
immediately and the engine will be stopped. Only after troubleshooting, press
key to clear the alarm, can it be re-operated.

Notes：When the shutdown alarm failure occurs, the "ALARM" lights will light
up and the engine automatically stops.
Over speed alarm
When the meter detects that the engine speed is higher than “Over speed alarm”,
Then start alarm delay and the duration (Emergency delay) have not returned to

normal, the alarm of over speed is reported.The alarm light flashes, the
speed display screen locks the alarm speed value, and the alarm relay outputs.

Low oil pressure alarm

When the meter detects that the engine oil pressure is lower than “Low oil pressure
alarm”, Then start alarm delay and the duration (Normal alarm delay) have not

returned to normal, the alarm of low oil pressure is reported.The alarm light
flashes, the oil pressure display screen locks the alarm oil pressure value, and the
alarm relay outputs.

High coolant temperature sensor alarm

When the meter detects that the coolant temperature value is higher than the "High
coolant temperature alarm", Then start alarm delay and the duration (Normal alarm
delay) have not returned to normal, the alarm of High coolant temperature alarm is

reported. The alarm light flashes, the coolant temperature display screen locks
the alarm coolant temperature value, and the alarm relay outputs.

12
 GM50H MK3 ENGINE METER USER MANUAL

Oil pressure sensor disconnected alarm

When the oil pressure sensor is detected to be disconnected,Then start alarm delay
and the duration (Normal alarm delay) have not returned to normal, the alarm of Oil

pressure sensor disconnected alarm is reported. The alarm light flashes,the oil
pressure display shows "---" and flashes.
Coolant temperature sensor disconnected alarm
When the coolant temperature sensor is detected to be disconnected,Then start
alarm delay and the duration (Normal alarm delay) have not returned to normal, the
alarm of coolant temperature sensor disconnected alarm is reported. The alarm light

flashes,the coolant temperature display shows "---" and flashes.

10. Parameters setting

 Enter the edition page
Please set the parameters according to below steps:

1) Press for 4 sec, loose it when “P-00”displayed, which means system

comes into setting page and display the first option.

2) Press or to choose the options and press to set. Press

or again to set the right value. Then press to revert back to last

layer and press again for more than 4 sec to save the value.

3) Press and simultaneously for more than 4sec: when “nu.1” is

displayed, it means system comes into curve setting page. Press or

to choose the curve needed to be modified (1-Oil pressure,2-coolant

temperature,3-oil temperature).Then press to set, choose the value of

resistance(A) and sensor value(d) by pressing or ,press again

to set. Then press to revert back to last layer and press and for
more than 4 sec to save the value.
4) Resistance input data: from min to max.

Note: after the parameter is modified, it will take effect immediately!
