<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for your reply. For some reason the
schematic I received from the tech at Atkinson did not show any wires being
connected to pins 9 & 10 and as I'm a literalist I did not make those
connections. After I received your (and other) feedback I connected gen power to
those pins and the AGS seemed to function fine. Within 2 days the customer
called me back saying his genny was shutting off after 20 mins of runtime. I
told him to disconnect or reprogram one system component at a time to find the
fault source. Before a fault source was determined, he observed that two
batteries in his bank were experiencing the "battery terminals melting into the
battery casing" (as was texted to me by the customer). I have no idea how a GSCM
interface would cause or allow an overcurrent fault at the batteries but the
timing of the installation seems to indicate that the AGS is at fault. Ever
heard of this before?</FONT></DIV>

installed a GSCM-mini (interfaced with a Honda EM500SX w/manual remote

Atkinson. The unit is not functioning properly. It seems that the GSCM-mini is

my troubleshooting:<BR><BR>Start LED (yellow) on GSCM-mini blinks once every 5

looks OK. But when I press the OFF button on the Gen Status screen the STATUS

of manual start the GSCM begins going through the cycle of trying to start the

yellow Start light is solid, K1 comes back on for 20 seconds, cycle repeats 3

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

to run a wire from the Pilot LED on the manual remote start box to terminal 8

really wants a solar-direct pool pump for his home. Medium size in-ground

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
