    MEP-805A 24 volt problem

    Does the set Dead Crank reliably? The -24 TM has the schematics for troubleshooting. It also has a section for no crank troubleshooting. Watch the DC voltage at both ends of CR1 to see it both stay around 24 volts when attempting to start. They should. Check the DC voltage on any terminal...

    MEP-804B Questions

    The AM-VM switch just connects the voltmeter and load meter to the various points. It does not have anything to do with switching power to the lugs. There isn't any "circuit breaker" for the output at the lugs. The generator has current sensors for each of the output legs. If the sensors...

    MEP803a Battery Charging Issue

    Per the -10 TM... "Two batteries are required, one on each side of the generator set. The batteries are electrolyte serviceable, lead acid, 12 volt type, connected in series. After starting, the generator set is capable of operating with batteries removed. A diode and a fuse, located behind the...

    MEP-831a Inverter Overhaul

    Check the tops of the 12 large black electrolytic caps to see if any of them split their tops open. They have stamped lines on the tops that create a burst point in the case.

    Lightning Auto-start?

    I suspect the 2 wires for the 2-wire Remote Start board picked up some electricity from the strike causing the Remote Start to initiate a start. After the start electricity disapated the Remote Start saw the lack of stray voltage and then did a generador stop

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    I've run across several of them that had either RTV or Dielectric grease on every electrical connection.

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    For those interested here is the procedure to get the board out of the inverter. Remove all the perimeter screws from the top panel and remove the panel. Top panel removed. Remove all the perimeter screws from the side panel and remove. There is some sticky foam tape by the connector...

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    Ray, The OL/SC moisture problem has to do with the main control board in the 831A's inverter. The main board is covered with potentiometers that are adjusted when the inverter is tuned at the factory. TRC decided to NOT seal the potentiometers after the inverter was finished. The problem...

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    Ray, The inverters in the 831's are fussy about high humidity and will throw OL/SC faults due to it. Will do a lengthy write up tomorrow on info I have about it and what looks like a promising solution. Kurt

    MEP-1030 Mouse Proofing & MEP-10XX WiFi Remote Start

    Took the opportunity this week to mouse proof my new to me MEP-1030. Here are some pictures of how I went about it using 1/4 galvanized rat wire, zip ties and a bit of RTV. Popped the top off by removing all the perimeter bolts and the ones in the top of it. 10 mm wrench. All have captive...

    803A Short Circuit intermittent

    DON'T DISASSEMBLE THEM. Zillions of tiny pieces... Here is an example of just one of the many openings in the Phase/Voltage switch to spray DEOXIT into. The switch is made up of many layers so you'll need to spray it into a lot of openings.

    803A Short Circuit intermittent

    No problem about gathering info. It's how we all learn about these machines :) The panels breaker works on a thermal magnetic principal. It will tolerate a moderate overload for a while before it trips. It has to be a very large overload to get the breaker to trip quickly. The 803's Short...

    803A Short Circuit intermittent

    The burden resistors run at well below their rated power so I wouldn't expect them to burn out. You might want to check the wires where they are soldered to each of them to check for broken strands of wire from vibration. Your 8K unit may run it OK assuming it doesn't have a Short Circuit...
