[RE-wrenches] Controlling a Generator without an inverter

[Drake]

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.
