There may be a respin of the PCB should I find any issues during testing. Hopefully not, but no big deal if I have to. Software tweets are a given :-) Haven't nailed it down yet. Need to determine the average assembly time, testing, and calibration time first. Testing will be more work since...

I may take you up on that kind offer.. Just received the first shipment of PCB's today for the first spin. Assembled first unit today and plan on some testing next week in my 802.

One could change the wiring to bypass both S6 & S8 all together as far as the Load sensing is concerned. This would eliminate overloads caused by poor contacts in S6 & S8. Assume you are running 240 Single Phase it looks like adding 3 jumpers across terminals on S6 would do the trick. Would need...

In addition to what you listed S8 the Voltage/Phase reconnect switch inside the control cube is in the loop too. You'll need to do the same with the S8 switch. Need to pull some of the top cover off to get to the guts of S8 to spray it. When you have the genset running and feeding the...

I did a bit of googling. Found this thread, someone also looking for Hobart 472G brush's. https://weldtalk.hobartwelders.com/forum/equipment-talk/generator-welders/34809-what-model-is-this-old-hobart In the thread it looks like PN WE17EA from http://www.carbonbrush.com/hobartbrush.htm was a...

gt Glad my post got you looking in the right direction and locating the charging issue with your set. Appreciate the plug for my 831A Governor Controllers. :) Creating a replacement for the 831 Battery Charger Voltage Regulators is on my list. Can you tell me more about the "incorporate the...

The voltage across the White input leads to the charger should be 32-50 Volts AC (not DC) when the generator is running. If no AC is seen at the two white leads check the 20A fuse FU1. This is the fuse between the generator head battery charger winding and the battery charger input. Black and...

... and the fuel pump(s)

Yes - The NOCO 7200 will resume charging at it's last charger setting once AC power is restored to it. I just tested it with my 7200 and a 831 AGM battery. Started charging. Dropped AC power to the NOCO. Restored AC power and it automatically resumed charging at the 24V AGM setting. One...

I just checked Iron Planet and they have twelve 831A's listed. All in Georgia.

When the Battery Chargers were manufactured by TRC they used a couple of zip ties to secure the toroid coil to the PCB. Over time due to age and heat the zip ties fracture and allow the toroid to come loose and vibrate about. During use the toroid leads fracture causing the battery charger to...

At this point no additional funding is required to proceed with this. I have all the needed funding, equipment and resources for development, integration and production. Just need to slog thru the tweeking and checkout before turning it into another viable product.

Might be something to consider as the product develops.... if it takes off.

Demoh, Thank you for the insightful input regarding the potential option to provide both options to access the controller via WIFI. Will add it to the list of enhancements to be considered for it. Interconnection to an ATS would be a fairly easy feature to include.

Currently planning on using the genset batteries. Right now the controller draws 20 mA at standby. About as much as a LED so the impact on the genset batteries is very low. Assuming small group 51 batteries in an 802 it would run in standby for about 2 months before the batteries would need...

Actually it will still work. :-) I specifically designed it to work in a power outage situation when ones wireless router has no power and internet are DOWN. It's design to be controlled by any device that has WIFI capability and browser capability. Communication from the WIFI device (such...

Might a WIFI parameter monitoring only capability be more desired? (No remote start/stop)

Not at the moment. I know a couple of others here had been working on a solution for that.

gator, I built the whole thing from the ground up. No off the shelf assemblies, just individual components. It's not pretty since it's a first pass at a prototype to prove out the concept. Hence no pictures of it. Designed the sensors to gather all the parametric data and interfaced them to...

Since my venture into developing the replacement MEP831A Governor Controllers was a success I thought I'd revisit MEP remote start/stop with parameter monitoring. About 2 years ago I developed a similar capability. However the control components were a closed design, didn't use WIFI and was not...
