    Looking for interrupt switch

    When you lift the switch UP and hold it up does the green contactor light illuminate? Does it then go out when you release the switch? These switch's seldom go bad so I'd suspect the issue with the contactor not closing is due to something else.

    MEP-803a not making full power/tripping overload

    Usually not a serious issue. Usually due to poor contacts in either S6 and/or S8. Can usually be resolved using some contact cleaner such as Deoxit.

    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    My suspicion is that moisture gets into the unsealed potentiometers on the main control board inside the inverter causing their resistance values to change. The potentiometers are there so that the manufacturer can adjust parameters such as the Short Circuit threshold and a number of other trip...

    MEP-803A Injector Pipe Nut Torque Value Wrong in Manual

    Earlier in the manual in 3-12 it does call out "Tighten injector pipe nut (2) to 21 ft-lbs (28.5 Nm)." It would look like 21 ft-lbs is the correct value.

    MEP-804B

    Need to do one more test in an 804 before calling it good. The %Load measurement was a bit off and want to get that solid before releasing it. Wife had a medical issue recently and that took priority. All better now. Good news is it will support the MEP-804A, MEP-804B, MEP805A & MEP-806A.

    Pulse Tech 24V Solar Chargers, which is the correct one for MEP-803A ?

    I haven't mounted them yet. They are a pair of wall wart Battery Tender chargers I had laying around so they are just plugged into the AC inlet and laying on the floor of the skid.

    Mep-802a - amp meter not working.

    There is no fuse in that circuit. The two small wires on the front screws of MT4 go directly to M4. The wire numbers are 158A & 159A. M4 is a voltmeter that measures the small DC voltage that develops across MT4 while the battery is discharging and charging. After starting the genset the meter...

    Mep-802a - amp meter not working.

    None of the switches have any affect on the battery charge/discharge meter. That meter is connected directly across the MT4 shunt in the right front corner behind the meter panel. MT4 is a shut (very low resistance resistor). The voltage drop across it is measured by the charge/discharge...

    MEP-831a Wont turn off

    The gap should be zero when it's off. IE the target on the arm should be against the magnet when the set is stopped.. When the set is running at no load the gap should be 5/16" There is an adjustment procedure in the -13 TM on how to set the gap at no load. The gap has to be set correctly so...

    MEP-831a Wont turn off

    K15 is the starter cut out relay. It's normal for the LED inside ot to be on once the set has started. I see a few issues in the picture 1) The green spring for the governor is in the wrong hole in the arm. 2) The gap between the magnet and the target is way to wide. It should be 5/16"...

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    The MOV mod is actually something I came up with a few years ago. It purpose is to protect the VR from shorting out. Something the Fuse Mod doesn't do. If the fuse were to pop the MOV should still be good.
