Had a productive day. With some last minute telephone support from Peter at INOVA, I was able to finish install of my INOVA auto start panel. Peter had to assist me with the last connection from K8 with actually completes the power circuit and verify I wired in the relay from my Outback...

Congrats :)

Mine either, had to use forks on my tractor. A trailer would be nice. :)

That's in my civilian 24kw and my 803a

My thoughts on my manual transfer switch: Hmmmm, wonder where all the black background came from obliteration my text.

Thanks again, Coley An ATS is of no value to me, being totally off grid, no grid power to lose or switch. In fact my first generator, I was told was good for two wire auto start, but what I wasn't told was it needed to sense loss of grid power, took me awhile to figure that out and bypass the...

Thanks, sounds like a great setup. I listed my configuration earlier. i will be wiring the 2 wire auto start from my Outback inverter. My goal is to have this as a secondary backup, so my thought was to wire to a manual transfer switch. Hoping I could achieve. 2 functions with that switch. 1...

Fashion an expanded metal guard for my exhaust extension. Nothing fancy, but should be functional.

Oh, I have :) but it didn't change the facts :( oh well, maybe I'll review it again tomorrow, maybe I missed something.

Received my Inova auto start board today. Won't be installing for awhile as I have other priorities. Sorry to say that at this point I'm a bit frustrated, but will take a deep breath before venting.

Pics of S1 and S6 wonder if a shot or two of something like DeOxIt might be beneficial?

Ran the unit with various loads today. Used my wired connection to my Outback system. This provides power to my battery chargers that are part of the inverter and house loads. Started off with with 8kw showing on the Outback Mate as generator input. Kicked on two 240v pool pumps, mate went up to...

Started my exhaust extension. 1 1/4" emt conduit, pipe fitting, emt 90° sweep and connecter. Need to to fashion a bracket or two to attach to the beams for stability. An expanded metal cage up about 4ft to prevent my accidentally grabbing the hot pipe. I removed the flapper so it wouldn't...

Wow, that's really impressive. ill be happy to have 2 wire auto start capability to my Outback system.

Today I unloaded with help of my dear wife and placed unit in its new home. Once in place, I wired in my cable, which right now connects to my system via a 240 dryer/range plug. Gave it a look over, topped off the diesel and fired it up. Batteries already at 100%, only drew 3.5kw according...

Yesterday I picked up the unit about 40 miles from house at a farm business. Owner has a number of 10, 30, and 60kw gensets supporting his farm. Grows great tomatoes commercially. i dealt with his maintenance manager, who also lives off grid and currently using an 803. He previously had an older...

As mentioned in other threads, I'm a very recent owner of a MEP 803A 10kw generator. My purpose for this generator is strictly as a user. Installation might be classified as semi-permanent, everything will eventually be hard wired and I don't anticipate relocating the unit. Some background...

Thanks guy, will do. Already run up twice Sat at initial look and again yesterday before I paid for it, but never hurts to check again.

My immediate concern is to get it placed and wired in temp. My first planned mod is to extend the exhaust, about 9 ft straight up then a 90° to outside. Makes me wish I hadn't let my previous extension go with the old generator I sold a few years ago, but it may have been too short. The aux...

Very informative thread, I learned a lot, THANK YOU ALL i picked up my 803 today and will be wiring it in permanently.A different set up in that I'm off grid totally and this will be a backup for my primary generator and will be tasked to charge my battery bank. House loads would be reduced...
