[RE-wrenches] wrenches] AC Backfeed from Radian.

[john]

Jason,
   Thanks for the quick response.  I didn't actually connect the autostart wires myself so I will double check tomorrow to make sure we attached to the Aux relay and not the Aux 12v terminals on the Radian. 
The system has been running for almost a year and at times was working flawlessly which kind of indicates we wired everything correctly.  I have found that the newer Kohler RES series seem 
to have a lot more problems than the old 8.5.RMY   We just retired an 8.5 on a mountaintop transmitter site.  It still runs fine after over 4000 hours but just stops putting out AC after about 20 minutes.
We replaced it with a Generac EcoGen last April so we will see how that holds up to the abuse.  We have over 1200 hours on it already with no problems. 

I will get the serial number tomorrow.

John

If you can get the serial number off the generator for me I can access kohler 
and get some info as a kohler dealer. The new ones are having controller issues 
and there is an updated controller.  When meeting with the generator tech ask 
them if they transferred the setting from the previous controller with site 
tech.
One last silly question, your not feeding 12vdc to wires 3&4 for the start 
signal,

Jason
