<DIV>I know this subject has come up from time to time in small pieces, but
would like a collective set of answers. As you know, some generators are
very easy to remote start from an inverter using only a simple relay and 2-wire
connection. Make the contact and the generator starts and runs, break the
contact and it stops. The Kohler line of generators have this start and
stop control and was easy to connect to the spare relay in the old Trace
SW40 inverter and the newer Outback inverters.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What generators in the 8 to 15 kW range have you found easy to remote
start from an inverter, and which models or brands were a nightmare?
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What other hardware or controls were required to get it to
work? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How many control wires were required out to the generator?</DIV>
