MEP831A Auto-Remote Starter Kit

NOTE: These units are custom-made, based on the model generator you have. A lead-time of 14-21 days is required from the time you place your order. Please state which model generator you have in the comments section during your checkout as there are small customizations that must be made for final manufacture. The MEP831A Autostarter Kit is a great add on for your MEP Generator Set. It will allow remote start with the flip off a switch or can be connected to an Automatic Transfer Switch.

The MEP 831x  Autostarter has the following features which can be set with the DIP Switch on the Board:

DIP Switch 1:   Regular Fuel / Aux Fuel
DIP Switch 2:   Warm Up Time 1 min or 5 min (This is the time delay before the Relay “Power On” is activated. This Relay switches the Control Voltage to the Sinle Phase Contactor K1 “On” and connect the LOAD to the Generator)
DIP Switch 3:   Cool Down 2 min, 6 min or 10 min (This is the time delay after the Relay “Power On” is disengaged, shutting off the Control Voltage to the Single Phase Contactor K1 removing the LOAD from the Generator and therefor allowing the unit to cool down)
DIP Switch 4:   Pre Heat Time determined by ambient air temperature or fixed time (See table below)
DIP Switch 5:   Pre Heat Time 15 sec or 45 sec [if DIP Switch 4 is set to fixed time] ( This setting is for the case that the Generator is operated in a controlled environment i.e. Building, Garage etc)

The Autostarter will automatically shut down and display a light indicator in the event of a Oil Pressure or Overheat situation, preventing the Generator Set from automatically restarting. The Autostarter can easily be reset, once the issues of leading to Low Oil Pressure  or Overheat situation have been fixed.

Note:
The installation is not very difficult for the do it your self-er.
