MEP-805B Software crashed

[SteveTheGreen]

When I start the generator (normal procedure), it fires up and the screen immediately goes blank and dies. Seems like this has happened before. Holding the start knob in the start position does no good. It ends up grinding the starter.

Howdy. Check your batteries first. Anything less than 24v will cause issues with the cim.

yep, what he said

 

[Guyfang]

Is this set new to you?
Have you seen it run for extended time correctly?
Have you downloaded TM's

 

[SteveTheGreen]

Its been running fine. I'll swap batteries and try again.

if you have another green vehicle to slave to would be another work around

 

[SteveTheGreen]

Slave? The parallel cable seemed to be part of the problem. I replaced the voltage regulator. Then got a voltage detection error. I unhooked the parallel cable and it has been running for days.

What do you call a parallel cable? For me, its a cable that runs from one gen set to another, so the two sets can be paralleled.

 

[SteveTheGreen]

There's a plug marked parallel. To connect multiple generators. Allows us to swap generators without power outage.
What are calling a slave?

military version of jumper cables

 

[SteveTheGreen]

Its a 24v system. So just jump the batteries to the generator next to it? Might have to try this. We just run 1 at a time.
Anyway, swapping out the voltage regulator fixed the problem.

If you have the parallel cable hooked up between two or more sets, the problem can come from one of the sets not having the same phasing, as the other.

 

[SteveTheGreen]

How do you fix out of phase?

[Guyfang]

Please define "out of phase"

 

[Guyfang]

Thats it. Good luck fixing this gen set.

 

[SteveTheGreen]

I think this issue was 24v. Had some battery issues.
