Interesting. I'll have to try 115200 without handshaking the next time I fiddle with that project.
Which math? Decoding the values coming back from the DCS??
What I found was the handshake to establish communications thru the remote port seems to use/need minimum delays between sending each of the handshake messages to the DCS. The delays are what I measured using a PC with the Remote Monitor software doing the handshaking and an ESP32 sniffing the...
I find the 1030 quieter than my 802A. Not a HUGE difference, but definitely noticeable. The 3rd cylinder in the 1030 makes the engine purr compared to the 2 cyl paint shaker 802A.
A potential replacement candidate for the 8906K4519 S5 Interrupter switch is a Honeywell 2TL1-70. They are about $62 now.
They used to be $35 2 years ago....
The contact operation of the 2TL1-70 is slightly different than the 8906K4519 so some wires would go to different terminals.
I haven't...
Did you perform the Calibration process with the Remote Start speciffically for oil pressure?
What is your normal oil pressure when the set is warmed up?
If the remote start thinks the set has low oil pressure it will cause the genset to shut down.
Is your oil pressure rock steady or is there...
It won't hurt my governor controller to pin the actuator to full throttle.
To release the pin just move the actuator to full throttle. The pin will pop back out. Then slowly let the actuator move back to idle and the governor controller will take over.
If you pull the pin out the engine is...
About 85 gallons. 55 gal drum with treated fuel, three 5 gal jugs, plus what's in the four MEPs fuel tanks.

I got that error while poking at my DCS.
I seem to remember that possibly my RS-232 levels weren't sufficient to drive/power the B&B RS-232 to RS-485 adapter.
The remote port pins are NOT labeled with numbers. They are labeled with the letters A thru N.
It's a RS-485 port.
The cable I'm using. 6150-01-608-2635 PN 04-21227 with the blue RS-485 to RS-232 adapter on it
Wiring diagram for the cable above. For Remote Monitoring the RS-485 is on "P2...
