The GM50H MK3 Engine Meter is a light and low-price oriented module designed for monitoring various engine parameters. It comes in two models: GM50H MK3 and GM50HR MK3. The GM50H MK3 monitors and displays engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, oil temperature, battery voltage, and accumulation time, with an added alarm function. The GM50HR MK3 includes all the functions of the GM50H MK3 and adds an RS485 Port to support MODBUS Protocol for remote data monitoring.

- PROG - (Check Software Version): Press together to check the software version.
- + - (LED Test): Press together to test all LED lights (all lighted when pressed, all off when loosened).
- PROG + - (Restore Default): Press together to set all parameters to defaults.
Maintenance Features:
- Installation: Installation must be carried out by professionals. Read the entire instruction manual before installing and operating.
- Power Connection: Maintain a good power supply connection. Do not share battery positive and negative connection lines with a floating charger.
- Battery Disconnection: Do not disconnect the battery during engine operation to prevent damage to the meter.
- Withstanding Voltage Test: If conducted after installation, unplug all meter terminal connections to prevent high voltage damage.
- Relay Expansion: For extended relays, add a continuous current diode (for DC coils) or a resistance-capacitance loop (for AC coils) to prevent interference.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a detailed fault-finding guide for symptoms like "Meter no response with power," "Speed display error," "Oil pressure display error," "Coolant temperature display error," "Engine shutdown," "Low oil pressure alarm," "High coolant temperature alarm," "Shutdown Alarm in running," "The meter does not alarm," and "RS485 cannot communicate normally." Solutions include checking DC voltage, fuses, sensor connections, wiring, ground connections, sensor type parameters, alarm values, and communication settings.
