    831a with no power to the lugs.

    OK, problem is that K12's LED is ON meaning the set has detected a Fault. When there is a Fault the set will not allow the contactor to be closed under normal conditions. Are any of the Fault Monitor lamps illuminated? Are you pull starting the set or using the starter?

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Thx for the video and measuring the voltages at the D-E terminals. After studying the video the surge you are experiencing could be triggered by the set failing to throttle down to a no load speed of ~3,050 RPM. You may want to see if there is anything that may be restricting the mechanical...

    831a with no power to the lugs.

    With the set running the LED inside K15 should be illuminated. The LED's in K12 and K14 should NOT be illuminated. Here are a sequence of test steps to narrow down where the problem is. 1) Battle Short OFF 2) Connect your DC voltmeters negative lead to chassis ground. 3) Set you meter so it...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Can you post a video of the actuator when it's surging? Also if you have a meter measure the DC voltage across terminals D & E on the controller when it's surging. At no load the voltage should be almost 0.0 VDC. Does the DC voltage remain virtually 0.0 or is it bliping up?

    MEP 095a general operation

    1800 RPM for 60 Hz You ought to download the TM's for that set and get familiar with them. They contain info such as what the RPM should be. Frequency meter may not be reading correctly. I'd suggest checking the frequency with something like a Kill-a-Watt meter or other external method.

    Effect of no FU1 fuse?

    Correct. FU1 is on the output of the alternator. Without it the generator should work just fine except charge the batteries. Are you sure the panel lights have good bulbs in them? How you downloaded the TM's for your 802?

    I don't have any accessories so it won't be an issue. The NOCO rep clearly explained the same info too when they called today.

    Saving deeply discharged Optima 51R's

    Update... Props to NOCO and their warranty! I returned my dead G7200 a couple of weeks ago to NOCO under warranty after having it almost 2.5 years. Just heard back from them and they are shipping me the G15000 for no charge!

    Saving deeply discharged Optima 51R's

    I had the same experience at Batteries plus. Looked around the store, found the battery I wanted, went to their website on my phone and ordered the battery. Seconds later the store had the order. Checked out a minute later. No core charge :)
