[RE-wrenches] Radian Generator Relay

Tue Sep 14 17:47:42 EDT 2021

Hi Michael
This is where a direct conversation is good I tried to call but could not connect.
I thought you were using the AGS program on the Mate3S.
If you are in the set up in the AGS you can point it at the
Radian relay
Or the
Radian 12 volt aux
   If you want you can also point it to the port containing the FNDC
Of course you will have to wire it to the proper source

When your customer want to start the gen
Press the Gen button on the Mate3S
select ON
The FNDC rely will close and the gen should start
Select Off
The relay will open
Gen should stop
Select Auto
And the preset run conditions in the AGS will be valid.
I hope this helps.
Take Care

I did not check whether or not the 12v relay was functional.
I think I see where you are going. If the 12V relay isn’t working also, then the issue is elsewhere? Is that correct?

I did look into using the FNDC relay, however it appears that it’s control is through the FNDC menu. Things are so simple when all my client has to do to control the generator is push the GEN button and choose a mode. Searching for the FNDC menu adds a layer of complexity.
However,
What I’m seeing is that the board that the relay is on is part of a stack boards that costs 2K. So, it sounds like my options are to check to see if the 12v relay functions and then use that to drive a relay, or use the FNDC relay, or spend 2k for the board stack.

There are two relays on that board, one dry one 12v.

Aux output
And
Aux relay

Do both not work?

Wrenches,

I’ve got a Radian 8048/Mate 3S that no longer is activating the relay responsible for generator starting. I’ve power cycled everything and updated firmware. When I attempt to start the generator via the Mate 3S, the relay does not close.

Any suggestions before I look into replacing the relay/board?

Which board do I order and what is the best source?

Many thanks,
Michael
