Hi adrtab5,

I'm not sure about what GUS/h means. Looks like a sort of "rotation rate" something like rpm but slower.
Anyway you can find information about 500/502 specs on this KB Measuring Frequency With the FP-CTR-500/502
And obviously in the manual FP-CTR-500 and cFP-CTR-500 Operating Instructions.

You should see if the specification of the CTR-500 match your needs, namely the specification of your flowmeter.

Here's an extract.
