Our daughter has the AFCI's in her breaker panel. They suck. Constantly tripping when they shouldn't. Plugging a simple fan in causes them to trip.

Jumpering terminals 5 & 6 on S5 will cause the contactor to stay closed. *** Caution *** Doing so bypasses the Overload and Short Circuit protections *** Caution ***

Wire 135A20 is the +24 volt input to the circuit breaker.

A real possibility.

With the set stopped unplug P6 from under the control cube and then plug it back it. To unplug P6 you'll need to turn its locking collar to unlock it from J6 and help back it out of J6. Reverse for plugging back it. Be sure locking collar is all the way locked when done. The signals to/from the...

OK, getting power to lugs indicates the contactor is not stuck and is closing. The switch usually don't go bad. Likely something else. Was this generator previously working OK and providing power to the lugs for you? Does S5 have the Diode installed on it like this in this orientation?

The DCS in the MEP-10xx reads the DC voltage from the sensor and then displays the fuel level on it's LCD display panel. Here is a 1030 Fuel Level Sensor. No floats, just a tube.

The 10xx use a high tech ultrasonic level measuring technique to determine the fuel level with no moving parts. It outputs a DC voltage proportional to the fuel level.

I've been thinking about this one. It strange they used three different fuel level measuring systems, one for the gauge, a second for Aux Fuel and a third for Low Fuel. A single level sensor with a tiny bit of smarts could accomplish all three functions. The MEP-10xx sets use a single...

Do you have power at the lugs if you hold the switch UP? Do you have any fault lights illuminated?

I can see it now... after she puts the backhoe away..

RIP ⚰ :LOL:

What a difference a mile makes :LOL:

That terminal is one of the relay coil wires. If bad connection the relay won't close causing the problem you had Good job and thx for the update!

Spotted this in a listing for a 1943 M5 Generator on CL. :eek:

Looks like a MEP-501A.

I see manuals on Powertechs website for other PTS models but not the 7.5 Maybe contact them and see if they have manual(s) available for that unit? Powertech

You have the correct schematic. The diode CR3 is not on S5. It's mounted on the component panel in the far back left. Guy had 802/803 on the brain when he posted his S5 wiring pic. Component panel...

Yes, that tool does both pins. Insert it in the face of the connector. The tool is essentially a very thin walled tube. The tube depresses the locking fingers on the contacts to unlock them to allow the contact to then be extracted out of the back of the connector.
