The voltage to pin 7 comes from S1 terminal 3.
Check there.
I'll bet there are things bypassed for that remote plug.
If you have or can get a wiring diagram I would remove al the wires to that remote plug and rewire the set back to original
That's pin 6 and 7 not 16 and 17 on P4 on the fault panel. sorry
Pin 7 is 24 volts and pin 6 in ground.
When you put the start switch in the run position K 12 should be energized. (light on relay lit)
That is the fault relay it should be on because you have a low oil pressure fault because the...
The light on the relay means that it is energized
So that means K15 is working.
Where did you check for voltage on the fault panel?
Pins 16 and 17 on the connector on the fault panel should be 24 volts into the fault panel when the start switch is on and there should be a low oil pressure light...
Make sure the relay all the way to the right K15 is a 120 volt AC relay.
Sometime they install 3 24 volt DC relays and the coil burns up on the K15 relay.
The other 2 are 24 volt DC relays.
The 3 kW 400 Hz units have 3 DC relays.
They look the same.
Some time when they are troubleshooting the...
Yes, cover it up, if at all possible, store it in a shed or garage.
Had the same problem with one of mine that I took out of my garage and left outside covered up. So I don't leave them outside anymore.
The fans don't run because there is no AC out of the inverter because he pulled one of the...
So that would be an overload fault not short circuit.
Still a function of the inverter though.
Start the set and as soon as it comes up to speed and voltage put on the battle short switch, that should bypass all faults except short circuit.
The overload/short circuit light should still come on...
The problem is with the inverter.
The inverter has a short circuit relay inside that is tripping, the overload/short circuit light will come on but it is not an overload fault it is a short circuit fault because the set is shutting down.
On an overload fault the circuit interrupter will just...
Spec on the 802 and 803 is for them to shut down within 30 seconds, if it shuts down in less time don't worry about it.
The difference between no load and full load speed is 1.8 Hz or 3% (3% of 60Hz).
The difference between no load and full load, some times called droop or frequency regulation...
I don't think your shut down issue is related to the governor adjustments.
I think it's all mechanical, If you're shut down and the governor and actuator are not powered how could it be a gain or stability adjustment.
It's either in the actuator magnet or in the engine governor. There is a...
An MEP803 10 kW uses .9447 gallons of diesel fuel an hour at full load, 10 kW, .8 power factor.
An MEP831 3 kW uses .33 gallons of diesel fuel an hour at full load, 3 kW, .8 power factor.
If you have two sets, one has output one doesn't, what I would do is remove the actuator from one with no output and install in the one that is running bad.
See if that helps get at least one up and running good, then mess with the other issues on the other set.
One connector and two bolts and...
It's not how solid it feels when you hit it, does it shut down after you hit it.
Hit it start it up and see if it shuts down.
You may need a magnet adjustment though.
The magnet may be mal adjusted, if the magnet is to strong then it will keep pulling in.
The 5/16 gap setting is for a properly adjusted magnet strength that should be factory set and never adjusted.
I believe the magnet pull off weight should be about 5Lbs.
With the actuator rod out of the...
Voltage out of the PMA is directly proportional to engine speed and the inverter needs a certain amount of PMA voltage to turn on and stay on.
So if your engine is going to slow or slows down to much then the inverter will shut off.
As for a light out on the fault panel, press and hold the fault...
Cord,
Lift up on the actuator arm and push in the pin as if you were going to rope start the set
Now, make a fist and hit the top of the actuator lever (as if you were pounding on a desk)
Pull up slightly on the actuator arm so the pin pops back out, now start your set and see if it shuts...
100 ohms is what you should read right at the terminals on the meter. With wires disconnected
If you're not getting that reading then you probably have a bad meter.
Meter drawing number 98-19746 note 3 says 100 ohms max.
Is your actuator closing when you shut it the set down, then when the...
