Engine Watchdog TM6 - Low Oil Pressure & High Temperature Shutdown System

Suitable for all Petrol or Diesel Stationary Engines.

The TM6 is an advanced electronic control system that will shut down unattended engines if the temperature of the engine exceeds a set level that you the operator input into the Engine Watchdog TM6. The digital technology also monitors for low oil pressure, and will shut down a stationary engine if there is a problem with the oil pressure. The Engine Watchdog TM6 has a third input port, that allows you to wire the unit to shut down the engine if a fault condition is detected on this input, this allows you to add a third layer of protection for your unattended engine that can be personalised to suit your specific requirements. The third input must switch to ground (such as used on a Murphy Gauge pressure switch).

With three layers of protection you can confidently run your stationary engine unattended, knowing that in the event of a problem the Engine Watchdog TM6 will immediately shutdown the engine preventing costly repair bills. The unit is perfect in situations where your engine is being used by untrained operators, being hired to the general public or the stationary engine is left on a site where it will not be monitored. The Engine Watchdog TM6 protects your valuable investment and prevents expensive engine rebuilds.

FEATURES

ENGINE TEMPERATURE MONITOR

The TM6 monitors and displays the engine temperature by using the 'Easy Fit' heat sensor. The sensor simply attaches like a washer under any suitable bolt on the engine block, here it detects all possible causes of engine overheating. (Unit comes standard with an 'EASY FIT' heat sensor).

TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN

If the engine temperature goes higher than the temperature set into the TM6's permanent alarm memory by the operator, the engine will stop. By using the front switch, the alarm can be set anywhere from 1 to 127 degrees Celsius.


LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN INPUT

The TM6 has a stopping input that requires a signal to ground on low oil pressure to operate. If the engine already has a oil light, the input wire is simply tagged onto the existing oil light sender. Or else an inexpensive car type oil light sender is fitted to the engine (not suited to oil gauges sensors).

SPARE STOPPING INPUT

The TM6 has a spare stopping input used for any purpose that switches to ground on a fault, such as a fan belt switch on an air cooled engine or a Murphy Gauge high low pressure switch on a water pump (see pricing for a pressure switch gauge).

SHUTDOWN MESSAGES

The TM6 displays messages to indicate which emergency situation stopped engine. This message remains on until the operator returns to the engine and turns the unit off.


START BYPASS

When starting the engine, the TM6 has up to four minutes of bypass time to allow the engine and pump pressures to stabilize. The bypass time can be set by the operator in 10 second increments from 1 - 240 seconds (factory set at 10 seconds).

MANUAL OVERRIDE

The start bypass time can be manually over ridden to either cancel or extend the bypass time.

FLEXIBLE STOPPING OUTPUTS

The TM6 is flexible enough to stop most engines. It has two selectable stopping output modes.

Stopping option A. The output power is normally ON while the engine runs and then OFF in an emergency (ideal for controlling fuel solenoids).

Stopping option B. The power is normally OFF while the engine runs, then ON for 15 seconds in an emergency. When used in association with an inexpensive slave relay, output B is ideal for controlling heavy decompression solenoids or electric stopping circuits.


usage

The Engine Watchdog TM6 is suitable for all unattended petrol and diesel engines and now that it comes with the 'Easy Fit' heat sensor the TM6 engine temperature monitor is extremely versatile for a wide range of situations including:

  • Compressor Engines
  • Electricity Generators
  • Lighting Towers
  • Water Pump Engines

The TM6 Engine Temperature Monitor is water resistant making it suitable for use on engines located outdoors or indoors.
