From what I could see that control box was designed to upgrade a 804B to be part of a "Micro Grid".
Basically a bunch of generators that can load share and are automatically started and stopped based on load demand on the Micro Grid.
Here is an example using AAMPS gensets
The MEP-803A can be set to output one of three different Phase/Voltage settings.
1) 120 volt
2) 120/240 volt Single Phase
3) 120/208 3 Phase
The output specs for the MEP-803A.
The first voltage is the phase to neutral voltage. The second voltage, if listed, is the phase to phase voltage(s)...
It could be one of the resistors has failed open. I'd suggest disconnecting the two wires to CT3 and then measure the resistance between the two removed wires. It ought to be 3.75 ohms. The resistance of R12 & R13 7.5ohm resistors in parallel. If you get about 7.5 ohms then I'd suspect one...
You indicated you had 9.5 v across R12. What's the voltage across R13?
When set to 120/240 the switch connects R12 and R13 in parallel. My hunch is they are not getting connected in parallel resulting in about 2x the voltage.
The only relay in the row that has anything to dowith the contactor operation is K20 the rightmost one. It provides 24 volts for the contactor control circuit.
Both S6 and S8 are involved with the Overload detection circuit.
Here is a simplified circuit diagram when running 120/240 and the AM/VM in the 3 o'clock position.
The CT's output a current proportional to the load on each leg ranging from 0 at no load to 1 amp AC at 133% load. That current is...
It could also be a problem with the A9 Float Switch module or even the Fault Monitor itself. The no fuel fault comes in on pin 2 into the Fault Monitor. If you have the fault displayed check pin 2 of the Fault Monitor connector for 24 volts DC. If 24 volts is there then its a float switch or...
It's possible. S14 is used for disabling the starter and flashing of the gen head.
Best to refer to the -24 TM and use the troubleshooting steps for engine not cranking. Could be a few culprits in the circuit causing a no crank situation.
