Suggestion.. Disconnect the white connector in the two wires going to the actuator on the engine. Lift the actuator off the magnet. Pull start the engine using the compression relief. The engine should run at a relatively low RPM. If it's running at a high RPM then there is an issue with the...

Same here. Just received two form there a couple of days ago.

Shoot a PM to dav5. He lives in Canada and has MEP generators.

One of the two wires is tied to +24 volts thru a 3.3K 1/2W resistor. So yes, one could monitor the sets battery voltage by measuring the voltage on that wire to determine the sets battery voltage to trigger a restart if the sets batteries voltage gets low. The second wire is connected to a 430...

The spec in the -24 TM is 228-252 VAC when running 120/240 single phase

Could be due to poor contacts in the S6 or S8 switch's. Poor contact in either of those can cause the Overload sensor to think there is an overload and cause an overload and the contactor to open. With the set OFF I'd suggest exercising both switch's by moving them thru all their positions...

Announcement.... I now offer a Remote Start Kit for the MEP-831A It incorporates the Governor Controller function and the WiFi Remote Start and Parameter monitoring all in one! They are available in the Classifieds at...

...and now they are gone again. Zero in available.

+24 volts takes a long path thru multiple wires to get to S1-5. You ought to trace the power path from the battery's positive terminal thru all the points along it's path to S1-5. Here are the step by step points that it get there from the battery's positive terminal Battery + goes to Starter...

Very soon! I have a prototype ready for testing in an 804A. I'll be in touch with you to set up a visit. :grin:

Thank you! It certainly was a lot of work both hardware wise and the firmware development of the 4,800 lines of code that run it. The Beta testers from S.S. who's feedback and feature suggestions help shape the final product. Unfortunately there were at least 3 variants of the S1 switch...

It doesn't appear to be the case based on what wire connections I could spot in the pic. I'm hoping the OP does the tests I suggested so we can get to the bottom of the LEDs not lighting when the button is pushed.

You're most right Guy! Close up pictures of each switch and gauge that the wires go to would be great. A closeup up of part number on the strange connector. Also a close up picture of the pin side of the connector like in your original post but much closer. Hopefully the pin location markings...

Guy, I think the problem is either no power to the monitor or it's shot. The OP indicated the Fault Reset button won't illuminate any of the LED's. Looking at my schematic of the Fault Monitor if the Reset button won't illuminate all the LED's then there is a basic problem. synelecpb Two...

If the Concord is stuck at 2.5 v it's very likely it's badly sulphated and beyond hope. A pair of 12v motorcycle batteries work well. I have them in both of my 831's. I'll spend some time tomorrow and try and give you a couple of things to measure to troubleshoot the fault monitor.

:lol: Because of 69birdman's zinger ;-) I took a close look at the picture to see where the wires got to from the mystery plug. Yes - it's a Remote Start cable. It allow the generator to be Pre-Heated, Remote Started, the contactor to be closed and I *think* remotely see the AC voltage. From...

Very odd. I suspect it's a remote start connector judging by the way it's routed to the switch's on the control panel and the round hole on the left cabinet wall.

The firmware, as designed, does not automatically start the generator for the purpose of charging he generators batteries when they eventually start to drop in voltage. The battery voltage can be monitored via WiFi when the generator is off to determine when the batteries might need topping...

Guy, Maybe you're thinking of this thread about using the SX460. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?177057-Alternative-AVR-for-MEP-803a&highlight=SX460
