OK..quick bit of history on these systems..
Back in the day...PowerSystems INtl used to make the trailer for DHS (DRASH tents). They parted ways, DRASH made their own trailer and PowerSystems Intl joined up with another tent company (Base-X). It continued that way, DRASH made their own tent and...
If it is the unit Stonepicker1 showed then they are up for auction and one of the power panels showed this:
http://www.govliquidation.com/shared/auction/images/photos/62195/62194981.jpg
That appears to show a DC meter that tops out at 16VDC..based on that I would say a 12V system. Odd, it most...
That NSN appears to point to a DRASH cage code, if you look on their site it takes you to the ECU page and is listed there:
http://www.drash.com/products/trailers/SkidMountedECU.aspx
They list it as a green 5-ton ECU..
You sure that is the NSN on your unit?

I am trying to make a trailer to run behind a DAC 665 T in Romania. Have asked my Romanian contact for a close up of the tow pintle and trailer lights connector but nothing yet.
Anyone familiar with this truck? Do you know what kind of lights connector the Romanian military use? Pintle height...
Have an update. Looked at the Merc 1017 and the Uni Mog today...both of them use B and J as turn signals and only pin N for brakes.
I checked pin M but nothing....
I am building and Xclusive-OR gate network with relays and diodes to combine the turn signals and brakes from the Merc for use with...
I am helping out some friends with the Chilean military and they have up-armoured HMMWVs and Mercedes 1017 vehicles. My trailers have the standard NATO 12 pin connector on and run fine on the HMMWVs...When I put them on the Mercedes the running lights work, the turn signals work but no brake...
I would reiterate that the high zig-zag is single phase.
FYI, the square root of three (or approx 1.73) is a handy number to remember when talking about this king of stuff. If you know the three phase voltage of a system, divide by 1.73 to get the single phase. If you know the single phase...
In a high zig-zag single phase you get 240 and 480 ...do you have access to the head of the generator? What make/model is the generator portion of the 60kW ? Marathon?
Picked up a military 20kW Fischer Panda from an auction a few weeks back. It is missing linkage from the actuator to the throttle arm. Power went off Fri night, got up early, found it was still off. Set the speed with a piece of string and tensioned it with a bolt to lock it. Hooked the fuel...
They are pretty easy
Stretch the tent out flat, bounce it as you do, pull the legs all the way out
Lock the outer hubs
Lift one side by lifting in the door ways, lift till legs 'click' and lock (check under velcro tabs to be sure they are locked)
Lock all the other hubs underneath
Hang the...
Base-X is sound advice...can pick them up on Ebay (!!!!) and DRMO...
They have aluminum frames, it is Drash that has fibreglass (they call it Titanitie). Aluminum struts can be fixed and if you pop one the tent still functions.
Look at 303 model, I move and put one of those up on my own, it is...
As has been said previously, you can wire 2 x 12v in series, to give you a
0v-12, 12v-24v
hookup. You can use the 0v as the ground and take 12v from the point where the first battery pos meets the second battery neg. Just running lights etc...no worries.
If you are not sure, fuses are your...
I guess you have found this already right?

The connectors look like this right?
