    Need help wiring a generator exercise timer with an LV6548

    As I understand it, the way the process works is when the Dry-Contact closes (completes the circuit), you have a 12 volt signal being sent to the Generator controller (via the 2-wires, I have a Dynagen gsc300 controller) which triggers the auto-start. When the Dry-Contact opens (breaks the...

    Need help wiring a generator exercise timer with an LV6548

    I am in the process of designing a system around the all-in-one LV6548 inverter. This inverter has an ability to start my generator through a 2-wire dry-contact when voltage reaches certain threshold. But in addition to that, I also need a way to run my generator on an exercise schedule...

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    During my last maintenance of generator, I had the gas line replaced with durable rubber hose so I am assuming that is not related.

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    Hey Samsonite801, with your simple idea above about using timer to open/close circuit, would this require a relay as well? I am a bit lost on what type of voltage/amps does it take to send the signal to the generator controller to kickoff the start/stop sequence.

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    Yep, just one generator. I will check out the Sunny Island Inverter. I currently am running an Outback FM60 MPPT controller, so I could likely just keep using that if the price is right on the Sunny Island.

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    "does it simply start when you close the 2 wires (short them), and stays running, then when you open the 2 wires, it shuts off? If so, this makes it easier, you just need one relay, that can close and open, no other fancy stuff." Yes, that is exactly how it works. When you say "just...

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    My generator is a 10KW Kubota diesel generator with about 5K hours, has had recent service, and runs great. However, I have noticed when I do not run it for several months, it does not startup on first run. I have to manually start it, than it typically runs fine.

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    Not sure I follow, what exactly would this be used for?

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    Quick question Samsonite801 on your idea here. My existing Generator controller (Dynagen GCS300) has a 2-wire run connected to my inverter for generator auto-start based off of voltage. How do I splice/wire-in the second Raspberry Pi device? Essentially either of the devices should be able to...

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    I am 100% off grid, so the AC Input would be from generator. The Raspberry Pi concept might be a bit much (super interesting however), yeah looking more for a turn-key all-in-one unit.

    Looking for an all-in-one Inverter With Two Programable Auto-Start Gen Relays

    I am looking to upgrade my existing Outback inverters and charge controllers to a single all-in-one system. I have taken a close look at both Growatt and the LV6548, both very capable with similar features. My issue is I need two programmable trigger relays to auto-start my generator and from...
