Looks oddly familiar😁, but are they worth a darn??? later, Matt

Jim and/or GimpyRob, any word on these old load banks? Looking at a pretty clean one. This is the only post citing this particular model. 0-33 KW with variable control seems pretty ideal. Down side is the size and several states away. Thanks, Matt

I spoke too soon. Won a 3 piece ground rod set for $50. Paid, called GP, they gave me the hours and assured me that they were open the following Tuesday (this past Tuesday 12/13/2022) and gave me Marcos the lot attendant's cell number. I called Marcos, confirmed the hours, confirmed that they...

Lucky Dog!!! Were those the 2 out of Kansas last week? I was super busy at work and couldn't keep an eye on the auctions!!! If that's you, congrats! I'd have made you work a lot harder to get those! Adding insult to injury, I'm flying back to Kansas to drive my oldest boy's H3 Alpha back to...

Busy weekend with youngest son's club basketball, so not much to report. I did verify my power supply is not the problem. Disconnected the DC output to the solar controller, presto magico and it's now putting out 16.34V DC. Put 12v to the now disconnected DC feed to the solar controller...

Update: Stopped being lazy, started chasing wires. Different pin out on the AC plug. Based on the AC inputs(L, N, and GND) from the plug to the power supply . Plugged it in got nothing, but then noticed a very slight ticking noise. DC output should be somewhere in the range of 12 - 15 volts...

Does anyone have the proper wiring order for the batteries? I've got 2 yellow and 2 black sleeved wires in the battery tray. No real way to tell what is + or - and which pair goes together. Thanks in advance! Matt

Thanks, I hope jumping in a couple of batteries from work will do the trick. This unit is very different than the previously pictures units, and different from the 2 maintenance manual revisions I've found. Different motherboard (1/3 the length and no battery holder), different power supply...

I'm going to jumper in a coupe of 12v batteries from work just to test the unit. We have lots of old ones sitting around for spares and mockups. Once I prove it works I'll purchase some good ones. I wonder if one could sub in Lithium batteries in place of lead acid. Might get more amp hours...

Went through the TM, I do not have the long motherboard. This is weird. My board in the TM motherboard position is about 1/3 the length of the TM diagram Motherboard. That, and I have a separate independent solar controller down. Below the motherboard location. Do I have an upgraded version...

Okay, I'm thinking I have a modified unit. Top pic is on my unit indicating an upgrade. Middle pic is from page 8 of this thread. Clearly different motherboard area from mine with a different motherboard area and a solar charger at the bottom that is missing in the prior pic. Also, there are...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for the motherboard! I'll try and go through the TM as time permits. Anyone know if it will power up without the 12v batteries? Fuse is good and I have line voltage to what I assume is the power supply. Nothing inside looks disconnected and the...

Good grief! You guys rock! But seriously who sits around on Friday night working on this stuff? Oh, wait, damn, that's me on a Friday night!!! Well, I put 120V to it per the above pinout. Nothing happened, but at least nothing let the smoke out in the process. I'll find the mother board and...

loose 3.6v Li battery found in the bottom of the green case. Where is it from? And this metal panel was laying in the top storage area just loose. No 12v batteries either. Sun saver solar controller is connected but not bolted down, appears undamaged. Getting ready to put 120v AC to it. Any...

Thanks, I can work with that! Hopefully I can track down ana actual set of cords.

So, my brain says to myself, "I always get out bid"... Oops now I own a hemacool. With no power cords! Anyone have a lead on said cords? Did a bit of searching on eBay and Google without success. Otherwise looks to be in good condition. Wife and middle son made the run to Vegas for the...

Middle boy made the run to Red Rocks in the middle of a working day. Lot was open, super easy pickup. Hopefully they've fixed things. Later, Matt

LOL, You answer faster than I reply!!! I'll let you know what I figure out. If I can make it a nice clean install as a temporary solution I'd like to do that. I also plan to get an 802a for night time use. Might come in handy with that as well. That and I'm always looking for a bargain...

98G, thanks for the input. I see from your profile you're a Midwest guy as well. We're KCMO folks, went to Baker U in Baldwin City, KS, AZ for 20 now. 2018-2019 did a year in Leavenworth, don't judge... Work sent me CGSC with the Army, not the fed lockup, or DB you were thinking ofrofl If...

Thanks guys! He's asking $400, from the pics the gen unit and trailer look brand new and it's garage kept. I'll take a look, probably low-ball him if it looks good. I'm guessing it's ideally setup for use as 3-phase. Is it a problem, and, does that output on the 803a put out 240 single...
