<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=906362218-31102008>We
have a new 3.4kW PV off grid installation that includes a Magnum ME-AGS Auto Gen
Start module, Magnum ME-RC50 Remote Control, MS4448AE inverter and a Kohler 8.5
RES lp gas generator for automatic backup battery charging (16
L-16G's).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=906362218-31102008>We
have successfully used a Magnum AGS control Magnum with an older 3 wire start
Onan although it took some time in finding 12 volts that is only on when the gen
is running (typically the hour meter power).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=906362218-31102008>With
the Kohler 8.5 RES there is no hour meter or other obvious location in the
generator for 12v power that is only on when the gen is running. We called
Magnum from the site only to be told that all of the information we needed
was on line. The man was still un-helpful when we told him that we were on a
remote installation with no internet access. Now I'm back at the shop and
on the web. On the Magnum web site I see a hook-up diagram for their AGS with a
Kohler RMY series generator. Nothing for a RES series.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
