We developed a Circuit Board to split the MPU Signal with two separate outputs and connect the K15 Terminal B for Crank Disconnect at 900 RPM.
This board will enable you to replace the TCM 100; TCM 101/102; CIM, Mouse, and installed load sharing module, AVR and governor controller.

He could have had a better start if he would have held it longer in pre heat (about 1 minute at 23F) but his 24 V Bosch battery is a bit weak he says.
interestingly, Bosch had to make those batteries after 1990 when the Bundeswehr and NVA where merged in the reunification...
This post is for the interested reader, who would like to know a easier way of troubleshooting electronics in his Generator.
Many many Moons ago, Incandescent Light Bulbs served as visual indicators to verify correct operations of a apparatus, indicate faults and aide in troubleshooting...
I thought we may through this sample wiring diagram as food for thought into the mix.
This AC DC Rectifier Sample Circuit will rectify each of the four individual 3 Phase Winding Sets of the standard 831A Genhead and bus them together on the DC side, then it will go through a 6th Order...
Every now and then, Owners of 004A’s and 005A’s post questions on how to fix their A11’s because they have no more Power / Voltage available at the output terminals
I will brake this information down into multiple posts because of the amount of pictures
First, the internal A11 failures:
1. a...

Please watch this video and let Jay and me know if those GAC Actuators are diesel fuel cooled and lubricated.
The fuel is pushed / sprayed into the actuator from the IP below through the actuator shaft.
I am an electrical guy and always thought fuel and electricity in one enclosure was a No No...
The entire microwave system linking Sanibel Island to Ft. Myers 911 call center and all emergency radio communications stopped working because the Cummins 60KW Genset sucked in glasswool insulation used in attics, which was set free by the winds which destroyed nearby homes.
The glasswool...
As they say, what goes in has to come back out.
I used to live in Cape Coral and the Florida Key’s , mile marker 92 and Key West back in the late 80’s until the early 90’s
I just talked to my Friend and her sister lives in Alva, 20+ miles inland from Ft. Myers where the Caloosahatchee Lock and...
It maybe of interest to some folks to see the differences of the 3 Versions of the CIM for the MEP 805B 806B for reference and identification
Version 1:
Mono Chrome 640 x 480 VGA Display (NOT CRT) with AZONIX 11-500253 Single Board Computer and PSU Version 1
Version 2:
Color LCD 640 x 480...
The current predictions and information we are getting from Pine Island is intense Storm Surge which is approaching already 4 Feet at this point on Land with a rising high tide.
Expected Surge can be up to 10 Feet.
Do not run your Generator if your in this area between Naples and St. Joseph...
Hi folks,
Yesterday we had a good example of a problem on a MEP 1040 where the owner @Mkestamper had gotten an error code 2967 Governor Actuator Fault. Link here to Thread
The TM's ending in -24P contain diagnostics, repair and parts manual in one document and have on average 1300+ pages
For...
Folks,
On our next Endeavour we will have a look at a AVR100 made in 2005
Fault:
Output voltage drops consistently after it has been adjusted to 208VAC after startup
First Step:
Dissolving Silicone based Conformal Coating
What Are DEMIL Codes?
DEMIL codes are assigned to DOD personal property that indicate the required degree of physical destruction, identifies items requiring specialized handling or processing, and identifies items which do not require DEMIL. DEMIL F and other codes can require additional...
A little while ago I was trying to help a forum member to setup a aftermarket AVR for his Genset.
He in turn had gotten the idea from one of the posts of another member.
Everything sounded quite simple, logical and straightforward.
However, the end result was not as expected.
It never crossed...
Hi folks,
I am currently working on / repairing the 5th or 6th Exciter / AVR A11
Since these units are coming of age, a failure of A11 is preprogrammed.
Because of the low resistance of 2 to 4 Ohm of the exciter coil, these AVR’s cannot be easily replaced with low cost AVR’s which cannot be...
Folks,
similar to what we have seen with o hundred and 8 hundred series, 372 AMMPS (1030 to 1070) have been sold through gov auctions since August of last year.
The average price tag was US$ 6,500 with many as high as close to 12K and the lowest non running was at $ 3,750
Amazing what...
