I figured before anyone asks, the two positions of Voltage Selection Board for Output Voltage is in:

TM ( Technical Manual ) is TM 9-6115-751-10
Date: 1 February 2011

The Voltage connection board is on PDF Page 67; Document Page 0004-9

@peapvp - Thank you, you were right. It was my app that was not displaying it. I wonder why this app - "Preview" on MacOS displays most of the figure images in the PDF but not some? When I opened the PDF in Firefox it displayed the image. Also think you for posting the missing image here for confirmation.

Regarding the voltage selection fault code 3665, I am still unclear how I set that in the Figure 7 image. Am I missing something else that describes how it is set and what to change?

The 80 Amp circuit breaker arrived yesterday and I have installed it. It mounts with 3 hex head screws, but there are nuts behind the wall that it mounts to and after removing the screws I could hear the nuts fall to the bottom of the chassis which required removing about 30 10 mm bolts from the front housing to access that side of the unit. So far it seems that most if not all of the bolts on this unit are stainless steel. I guess that makes sense.

Being able to switch the circuit breaker to the On position did not make any difference to any error codes, not that I was expecting it would but I know I needed to replace this circuit breaker anyway.

BTW, I also have a fault code 3664. This one is not displayed at the top of the main screen but is shown down in one of the sub menus. I guess I will chase the 3665 fault first and see what's next.

This is completely new to me and I am taking this step by step. I appreciate the helpful folks on here and hope the support can continue to help me learn something new. Am I weird if I say I am enjoying this?

@Tinstar - Thank you and I may pursue this route in the end. I did receive a phone call yesterday from one of the companies that I contacted to get estimates for the repair. They want to email it to me so maybe I will know what that cost is for the shipper's insurance in a day or two.

I have no idea how many guys in here have these generators, but it is pretty cool. Maybe I am weird for having that opinion also. I sure hope I can get this machine running.

It would be helpful if you could remove the clear cover off the connection board and post a clear picture of the board.
Btw. are you sure you got a 1050 and not 1051 (400 Hz) Genset? Just double checking.
Thanks

Here is a photo of the clear cover removed:

Here is a photo of the DIP switch:

Here is a photo of the plate with the model number. It seems to indicate a 1050:

I am not 100% sure, but there is something rotten in Denmark.

The Board is currently in the 120/208V Position in your Genset
This Connection Board does not match the Manual -10 (maybe from a different AMMPS Genset)
And. if I see this correctly then there is a frayed wire!

So, you got some problems there.
Study both manuals as outlined above

@peapvp - I knew from the start this wasn't going to just work, so I am ready to put in the time and if reasonable money. I am learning something new along the way and so far I am not discouraged. I do not yet understand these manuals structure/methodology so that is another thing I am learning.

I thought I would have to remove this voltage selection board to see what is behind it to tell the configuration, but you were able to see it from the front.
