Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and I have found everyone extremely helpful. I've got a predicament. I'm an electrical contractor in South Carolina and a small Fire Department purchased an MEP 806B 3 phase Diesel Generator. We connected it to a manual transfer switch so it could serve as an emergency back up generator. When we first installed the generator the CIM was very DIM and was most likely sun faded. The customer took it upon themselves to replace the screen with a compatible LCD screen from eBay. Well, then the problem became that nothing was legible on the screen. Thankfully 155mm helped me out and lent his Dimming adjustment tool to me and I have since corrected this. Now that I can read the screen we have another issue. The CIM keeps performing it's initial boot on loop. I have a communication failure light on as well. I opened up the CIM (using ESD controls) and found what appeared to be salt water deposit inside the CIM. I carefully brushed the deposits off with no change in CIM performance. I've attached a picture of the screen it keeps looping too. Any and all help would be much appreciated! Thank you
