    Mep-803a no crank

    The C57400 (AKA version 2, blue square body plastic) switch only needs 1 jumper. It's black plastic covered and normally between terminals 4 & 8. It's part of the C57400 configuration. Internally the switch terminals 2 & 6 are connected to either 4 or 8 so with the one jumper terminals 2,4,6,8...

    Mep-803a new to me

    Also verify it has the Quad Mod installed. Look for a fuse & fuse holder immediately to the left of the A1 Voltage Regulator inside the control cube.

    MEP-831a Troubleshooting

    I assume when you measured ~202 Hz was the engine RPM much lower? When it stops responding to STOP is the engine RPM kinda low or still at a high RPM? Are there any Fault lights on when it stops responding to STOP? The Low Fuel fault is normally due to the fuel tank being virtually empty (or...

    MEP-831a Troubleshooting

    I'd suggest disconnecting terminals F & G from the Governor Controllers. This removes power from the governor controller. Be sure they do not touch each other or anything else. Lift the actuator arm off the magnet. Start the generator and see what Hz/RPM reading you get. If you have a high RPM...

    831a Starter Issues

    If K2 is "clunking then the TVS diode is not an issue. Should be fine to jump +24 volts to K2A2.

    Known Running MEP-803A stops making power randomly - S5 or K1?

    S5 operates as follows... In the center position pin 2 is connected to pin 3. This is what holds the contactor closed once it has been closed. In the CLOSE position pin 2 is connected to pin 3 & pin 5 is connected to pin 6. Contact closure between pin 5 & pin 6 is what causes the contactor to...

    Why is my MEP 803a not putting out voltage?????/????

    When using S5 you should only need to push it up for a moment and then release it. It's return to the center position. The green light above it should come on indicating the contactor has closed and power should be present at the lugs. If the green light does not come on it generally...

    My MEP-803a experience

    Dropout voltage for a HH52P series relay is 10% of rated DC coil voltage which is 2.4 V. Ought to be good. Might want to secure the relay to the socket so it doesn't vibrate out. I don't see a locking bale on it.

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    The "schematic" in the TM does not depict how connections between various points are made, just that they are electrically connected. The details on exactly how the connections are made are contained in the 5 pages after the schematic. Takes a bit to draw up exactly how connections are made for...

    MEP-802A has power at the convenient outlets but no power at the terminals.

    You need to get your hands on TM 9-6115-641-24 for maintenance and repair. Also TM 9-6115-641-10 for basic setup and operation of the 802A. Link below to the manuals courtesy of our awesome Guyfang...
