<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">I've
installed a GSCM-mini (interfaced with a Honda EM500SX w/manual remote
start box) according to the attached schematic provided by Mr. Kendall of
Atkinson. The unit is not functioning properly. It seems that the GSCM-mini is
not recognizing that the generator is running.<BR><BR>Here are the results of my
troubleshooting:<BR><BR>Start LED (yellow) on GSCM-mini blinks once every 5
seconds to indicate it is ready.<BR><BR>When starting the generator using the
MATE3 from either the manual Generator Status Menu, or using the auto 2
minute Voltage Start - <BR>Generator starts OK, MATE enters RUN mode, no
faults listed on MATE, AC IN shows USE AGS, i.e., everything looks OK. But when
I press the OFF button on the Gen Status screen the STATUS goes to OFF but the
generator will not shut off...until...<BR><BR>At the time of manual start the
GSCM begins going through the cycle of trying to start the genny then goes into
a Lockout Fault Condition:<BR>Start LED goes to solid yellow, K1 light comes on,
generator starts, K1 light goes off for 40 seconds, yellow Start light is solid,
K1 comes back on for 20 seconds, cycle repeats 3 times, K2 light comes on for 5
seconds, Gen Hz LED Fault blinks twice repeatedly, Fault LED (terminal 12) comes
on solid, GSCM enters (Max Crank) Lockout Fault, ...then the generator shuts
off.<BR><BR>Seems the GSCM is not registering a Valid Run Condition. So, either
the schematic for the 4000SX is not applicable for the 5000SX or the red wire I
connected to terminal 8 (as shown in the schematic, needs to actually go to
terminals 9&10, or I need to run a wire from the Pilot LED on the manual
remote start box to terminal 8 on the GSCM...</FONT></FONT></DIV>

class=gmail_quote>A few questions. <BR><BR>I have a customer who really
wants a solar-direct pool pump for his home. Medium size in-ground pool and
I'd like the pump to be strong enough to lift to the solar pool panels (12
ft lift above pool level). I'd like to offer him hardware that is at least
one notch above experimental beta-test. I remember the SunCentric from
several years ago, but not sure how durable that turned out, and I was
having trouble a vendor for it now. Any suggestions for today with some
favorable track record? Or suggestions on what to avoid? <BR><SPAN
