Dave,

We use the vented versions of the OutBack (VFX...., because they are 
the best watts/$) which does not use the Aux relay to power the vent 
fan like the turbo version of the FX.  So the Aux relay is free to use 
for two wire generator control.  For three wire generators, we've used 
the Atkinson Electronics Generator Start Control Module (GSCM, 
www.atkinsonelectronics.com/list.asp?lt=gen&mn=1, available from AEE) 
to allow the OutBack to control the generator.  Worked great on a 1960s 
Onan.  :)

I see on Atkinson's web page that they now have a mini version of the 
GCSM that should work great with the OutBack, and be less expensive.

take care,

Randy Brooks
