Diesel Small Engine


This unit is designed to be connected to small engines fueled by diesel.
These engines typically power a generator, pump or similar device.
Besides managing the engine for shutdowns in the event of an engine
problem it will include Start and Stop features from the five buttons on the
display front.

This engine monitor is designed for 10-32 VDC systems. It will allow for
energizing relays to control shut off fuel valve, glow plug, and starter motor.

The unit allows tachometer signal for the following sources:


• Magnetic pick-up (30-180 teeth flywheel).
• Diesel alternator (8-20 magnetic poles).

The unit allows the following temperature, pressure, and fuel senders to be
used:
• Temperature
 100-240 F, Steward Warner style
 100-280 F, Steward Warner style
 100-250 F, VDO style
 70-260 F, Deutz style
• Pressure
 0-80 PSI, Steward Warner style
 0-100 PSI, Steward Warner style
 0-80 PSI, VDO style
 0-100 PSI, VDO style
• Fuel
 240-33 ohms, Steward Warner style
 10-180 ohms, VDO style
 0-90 ohms, AC Delco style

Automatic engine shut down based upon temperature, pressure, and


engine overspeed is adjustable.

glow plug relay to heat the fuel; the heat time can be adjusted in the
Menu. After the heat is over it will attempt to crank the engine; crank
time can also be adjusted in the Menu. If the engine does not reach
800 RPM or higher, the AUTO sequence will attempt another start for
a total of 3 attempts.
• Button 2 – Pressing button 2 will activate the glow plug relay
manually.
• Button 3 – Pressing button 3 will energize the starter relay manually.
• Button 4 – Pressing button 4 will shut down the engine by actuating
the relay and closing the fuel valve.
• Button 5 – Pressing button 5 will allow the adjustment of the screen

• Input Settings
o This is where the temperature, oil pressure, and tachometer
settings are configured. (Next Page)
o Maximum RPM; this can be configured from 2500 to 5000 RPM in
500 RPM increments.
o Engine Control Settings
 Heat Time (s) – can adjust heat time from 0 to 20 seconds.
 Crank Time (s) – can be adjust crank time from 0 to 20
seconds.
 Engine Shutoff – can adjust pressure at which the engine will
shutdown automatically when oil pressure is lost, 15 to 35
PSI.
 Engine Shutoff – can adjust temperature at which the engine
will shutdown automatically when engine temperature is too
high, 32 to 527 deg F.
 Overspeed Shutoff – can adjust RPM at which the engine will
shutoff. OFF, 2000 to 5000 RPM in 100 RPM increments.
o Settings Menu
 Language can be changed here.
 The sound that is emitted buttons are pressed can be turned
OFF or ON here.

 70-260 F, Deutz style – TF_70_260_DEUTZ_28_1140

Analog PIN 2 – Used for Oil Pressure.


 0-80 PSI, Stewart Warner style – P_PSI_0_80_SW_33_240
 0-100 PSI, Stewart Warner style – 33-240 Ohm 100-0PSI
 0-80 PSI, VDO style – P_PSI_0_80_VDO_10_192
 0-100 PSI, VDO style – P_PSI_0_100_VDO_10_180

Analog PIN 5 – Used for Fuel Level


 Signal Type – Select “Resistive Table”
 Parameter – Select “Fuel Level”
 Table – See below
• Fuel (SW) 240-33
• Fuel (VDO) 10-180
