    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    Interesting. I'll have to try 115200 without handshaking the next time I fiddle with that project. Which math? Decoding the values coming back from the DCS??

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    Interesting. I tried to just send the 44 requests quite a while back and got no responses. What baud rate are you using?

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    What I found was the handshake to establish communications thru the remote port seems to use/need minimum delays between sending each of the handshake messages to the DCS. The delays are what I measured using a PC with the Remote Monitor software doing the handshaking and an ESP32 sniffing the...

    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    I find the 1030 quieter than my 802A. Not a HUGE difference, but definitely noticeable. The 3rd cylinder in the 1030 makes the engine purr compared to the 2 cyl paint shaker 802A.

    Best source for MEP-804A/B parts

    A potential replacement candidate for the 8906K4519 S5 Interrupter switch is a Honeywell 2TL1-70. They are about $62 now. They used to be $35 2 years ago.... The contact operation of the 2TL1-70 is slightly different than the 8906K4519 so some wires would go to different terminals. I haven't...

    For the contactor issue be sure the diode is installed on the correct terminals of terminals of S5 and it's in the correct orientation.

    Generator install & fix up thread

    Did you perform the Calibration process with the Remote Start speciffically for oil pressure? What is your normal oil pressure when the set is warmed up? If the remote start thinks the set has low oil pressure it will cause the genset to shut down. Is your oil pressure rock steady or is there...

    Auto-Throttle on MEP-831a

    It won't hurt my governor controller to pin the actuator to full throttle. To release the pin just move the actuator to full throttle. The pin will pop back out. Then slowly let the actuator move back to idle and the governor controller will take over. If you pull the pin out the engine is...

    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    About 85 gallons. 55 gal drum with treated fuel, three 5 gal jugs, plus what's in the four MEPs fuel tanks. I rotate the 55 out and burn it in my truck.

    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    Lost it here for hours. The 1030 kept the house lit, warm, hot showers, hot coffee and cooked dinner.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I have a 1030 so it doesn't have an ECM. The 1060's and up have an ECM and the DCS talks to them over CAN.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I bought a couple of CAN to TTL adapters for looking at the CAN data. I haven't used them yet though. Have been too busy with other projects.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I got that error while poking at my DCS. I seem to remember that possibly my RS-232 levels weren't sufficient to drive/power the B&B RS-232 to RS-485 adapter.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    You are correct. The current available TM does not have any info on the wiring of the Remote port.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    The remote port pins are NOT labeled with numbers. They are labeled with the letters A thru N. It's a RS-485 port. The cable I'm using. 6150-01-608-2635 PN 04-21227 with the blue RS-485 to RS-232 adapter on it Wiring diagram for the cable above. For Remote Monitoring the RS-485 is on "P2...
