warm weather when preheating is not
required.
The GPM92 requires an external relay to
handle the high current to the glow plugs.
The start signal is connected to the GPM92
allowing the glow plugs to be preheated
before the starter is engaged.
The GPM92 is designed to operate from
either a maintained close to run, open to stop
signal or a momentary close to run, momen-
tary close to stop type circuit. The auto start
controller must be configured to operate
from a maintained close to run signal.
The module includes two adjustable time
delays, one for glow plug preheating time and
the other to allow the auto start module to
crank the engine and start it.
If the engine fails to start before the recycle
time delay expires, the GPM92 recycles for the
full time set on the glow plug delay timer. It
then signals the auto start controller to initiate a
new cranking cycle until the engine starts.
One bypass circuit overrides glow plug preheat
time with a glow plug ready signal and con-
trols the length of the glow plug heating cycle.
A second bypass circuit is provided to turn
off the glow plugs when the engine starts.
The preheat is locked out, and the start signal
is locked into the auto start controller until a
stop signal is received. This circuit can also

maintained, close to negative to run, open
to stop or 2 SPST momentary, close to neg-

Glow Plug Time Delay Bypass: SPST
maintained, close to positive to bypass.
Application
The GPM92 is intended for use on all diesel
engines that require glow plug or flame type
preheat and are equipped with automatic
start-stop controls. The GPM92 is ideal for
Murphy Automatic Start Controllers which do
not include glow plug control provisions or
other cold weather starting aids.
Recycle Time Delay Bypass: SPST main-
tained, close to negative to bypass or SPST
maintained, close to positive to bypass.
Output:

Start: Dry relay contact, 2 A @ 30 VDC.
