    Mep 803

    For the contactor issue be sure the diode is installed on the correct terminals of terminals of S5 and it's in the correct orientation.

    Generator install & fix up thread

    Did you perform the Calibration process with the Remote Start speciffically for oil pressure? What is your normal oil pressure when the set is warmed up? If the remote start thinks the set has low oil pressure it will cause the genset to shut down. Is your oil pressure rock steady or is there...

    Auto-Throttle on MEP-831a

    It won't hurt my governor controller to pin the actuator to full throttle. To release the pin just move the actuator to full throttle. The pin will pop back out. Then slowly let the actuator move back to idle and the governor controller will take over. If you pull the pin out the engine is...

    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    About 85 gallons. 55 gal drum with treated fuel, three 5 gal jugs, plus what's in the four MEPs fuel tanks. I rotate the 55 out and burn it in my truck.

    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    Lost it here for hours. The 1030 kept the house lit, warm, hot showers, hot coffee and cooked dinner.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I have a 1030 so it doesn't have an ECM. The 1060's and up have an ECM and the DCS talks to them over CAN.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I bought a couple of CAN to TTL adapters for looking at the CAN data. I haven't used them yet though. Have been too busy with other projects.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I got that error while poking at my DCS. I seem to remember that possibly my RS-232 levels weren't sufficient to drive/power the B&B RS-232 to RS-485 adapter.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    You are correct. The current available TM does not have any info on the wiring of the Remote port.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    The remote port pins are NOT labeled with numbers. They are labeled with the letters A thru N. It's a RS-485 port. The cable I'm using. 6150-01-608-2635 PN 04-21227 with the blue RS-485 to RS-232 adapter on it Wiring diagram for the cable above. For Remote Monitoring the RS-485 is on "P2...

    MEP 805A Gen. NO Voltage

    The diode is a 1N5406. It's a common 3 amp diode. $0.41 each Source ---> 1N5406 Diode Are you sure the resistor(s) need replacing?

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I tweeked my RS-232 sniffer code and there are no longer checksum errors. I also now see what appears as the first requests for real data may be additional handshaking since it's way more than 44 requests. More digging...

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    Ah, glad you spotted something odd in the code that may explain what I'm seeing. Easy enough to deal with. Request data, ignore the response and request again to get good data. I can work on a timeline of the back and forth between the PC an DCS for each PC request from initial baud rate...

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I've been looking at the various time delays between data transmissions from the PC. So far I've seen everything from 7ms to 2 seconds or so during the initial handshaking requests and parameter requests. edit: deleted stuff on bad checksums. Updating in upcoming post The journey continues..

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I also want to capture the Remote Monitor "disconnect" communications. Still waiting on delivery of the 2 pins needed to add to my DCS P3 so I can take a look at what's happening on the CAN bus.

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I can. I just want to make double sure all the data is correct. It may be a day or so to do some sanity checking of everything I did and my code.
