William, I haven't used one in a long time, but I think so. The product advertises "All sequences have adjustable time periods and are field programmable." It protects the generator in many ways. You could give them a call at (800) 261-3602. Drake At 04:57 PM 11/8/2014, you wrote: Drak

I was going to say to check out the Atkinson gen start unit. The Classic and other simple voltage sense auxiliary switches can be used to start generators but there isn't necessarily any feedback to tell if the generator actually started or not. One thing that can be done for feedback is t

William, You might also try Magnum ME-AGS-S, http://magnumenergy.com/auto-generator-start-stand-alone-me-ags-s/ It has a start voltage and a run time. Not sure if it has an Absorb end mode other than the run time. Thank you,

Drake: Will the Atkinson manage the generator such that the gen will run long enough for a bulk and absorption cycle? Are the parameters field settable? William Miller Solar > On Nov 8, 2014, at 8:47 AM, Drake > wrote: > > Hi William, > > If the Classic won't work, the Atkinson Generator

Hi William, If the Classic won't work, the Atkinson Generator Start Control Module should do the job. It is basically like the old Gen Wiz. http://www.atkinsonelectronics.com/manufacturing/products/GSCM.asp Drake At 03:45 PM 11/7/2014, you wrote: Content-Type: multipart/related; bou

[RE-wrenches] Controlling a Generator without an inverter

2014-11-07 Thread William Miller
Friend: I am consulting on an installation without an inverter. We need to start and run a generator to power a Samlex battery charger. We have a Midnite Classic, but in reviewing the manual it is not clear if the unit can be programmed to control a generator sensibly. I have a call into Mid
