    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    Not yet. I'd need to add the needed pins and some wires to the P3 connector on the AAMPS wire harness. According to the TM there are no wire connected to the K & L locations in the P3 connector in a 1030 or 1040. I did buy some CAN adapter boards to connect up to it when I get to that point...

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    The InPower program goes thru a rather unique long handshake routine to link up to the AMMPS before it starts requesting and receiving data. I was able to see on a scope the PC initially send some data at 4,800 baud(?), then another transmission at a higher baud rate, then more at an even...

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    The back and forth data that the Remote Monitoring port are a series of bytes. Once a second the Remote Monitor software sends over a series of 44 data requests and the AMMPS responds to each of the 44 requests as each request comes in with the requested data. For instance the request for Fuel...

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    If your set included the "LOCAL CABLE" part number 30554-04-21227 you can use it to do the Remote Monitoring. The RS-232 to RS-485 adapter gets connected to the connector labeled "P2-MAIN". It looks like this with the RS232 to RS485 adapter on it. If you're missing the cable it's wired like...

    MEP-831A magnet on governor arm not releasing (video)

    If starting with the electric starter and you are jumping with a heavy slave to slave cable and the arm does not lift off the magnet when you move S1 to START then it's likely someone messed with the magnet strength on the actuator assembly and increased the magnet strength. Yes, the magnet...

    Thanks Kurt!

    The AGMs in my 831. Two wired in series to get 24 volts. They've worked flawlessly. I use this set a LOT to test the Governor Controller and Remote Start assemblies. Lugs for + and - cables are from Lowes electrical department. Each batteries dimensions...

    Thanks Kurt!

    I believe the J shaped latch plates can be adjusted. I seem to recall the mounting holes are slotted. I use pairs of AGM 12 volt motorcycle batteries in my sets. When strapped together they are the same size and the original 24 volt AGM battry. I'll try and remember to look at the battery...

    MEP1040 and Remote start questions

    A while back I did some monitoring of the data flow between my Win7 PC running the Remote Monitoring and my 1030. What I found was that once the PC and 1030 did their link up handshaking the data flow was fairly simple. It's all done with Ascii characters over the PC's RS-232 serial port. Once a...

    MEP1040 and Remote start questions

    The CD I received was intact. The only note on the CD was that it was to "Remain with the generator set". No notes on the CD holder. Here is a screenshot of the PC Remote screen with a loads on L1 & L2 (120/240 mode)

    MEP-831A

    Top one is a factory linkage rod assembly. Bottom is the DIY version with McMaster Carr parts listed above. The smooth "tail" on the DIY is a bit longer that factory but isn't an issue. :)

    Parts on their way. Due to arrive tomorrow. I'll post a picture of it assembled tomorrow.

    MEP-831A

    I did some poking around on McMaster Carr and it looks like one could be built using several parts from them. I'm going to order the parts and build one or two for the heck of it. :) Assembly order top to bottom is... Item 2, 10-32 nut (not listed), item 5, item 4, item 1, item 3 These..

    MEP-831A

    Those are tough to find. Fabricating something functionally similar wouldn't be too difficult. You might try the manufacturer Governors America Corp for an original one. Link --> RD150 Rod Also Aerobase Group. Link --> RD150 Rod

    MEP-831A

    You'd want it set to 3,450 RPM so the inverter can properly handle 0-100% load if you do.

    MEP-831A

    I assume you are referring to some or most of these. When you say "manually move the lever" are your talking about about item 14 below? Which parts below are you missing?

    MEP-016B/MEP-701A ExciteMent!

    They run at 3,600 RPM, not 1,800 like the bigger sets.

    MEP-1040 runs but no output

    Does your set display 120 volts on the DCS display as circled below? The example below is for 3 phase.
