    MEP 1040 won’t start

    Normally with the breaker OFF you'd see 24 volts across its two terminals and 0 volts with the breaker ON. There is also a small circuit breaker in the Relay/Breaker box for the head unit power.

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    Look to the right in the hole. When the set is stopped you should see the end of the fuel rack. Now, while watching it use you right hand to retract the fuel solenoid to the run position. As you do the end of the fuel rack should move to the right out kind of out of sight which would be...

    Can I run 12 volt LED's from a single battery on my MEP802?

    You'll want to switch the power to the buck converter to turn the LEDs on and off. That way the idle current drain of the buck converter won't draw down your batteries when the LEDs are off.

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    Possibly the fuel rack is stuck in the Stop position. Have had that issue a few times with my 802. Seemed to be due to one of the IP pins jumping out of the rack causing it to not move or a gummed up IP. You'd need to remove the hex plug in the governor body to see it the rack moves to the...

    Can I run 12 volt LED's from a single battery on my MEP802?

    Selecting a current limiting resistors resistance and wattage is dependent upon: - DC voltage source - Forward Voltage drop of the LED - LED current specification Some LED assemblies have a current limiting resistor built in, other do not.

    MEP1040 and Remote start questions

    As far as I can tell that 7 pin CAN connector is not present on the standard AAMPS sets. The "Remote" connector on the DCS is a 14 pin connector and uses RS-485 for communication. I poked around and from what I could gather only 1060's and 1070's that were specially modified for use in a...

    MEP-804B Governor control issue

    I see the output voltage on the meter jittering and all over the place at times when the voltage and frequency goes whacky. There may be a AC Voltage Regulator issue.
