Generator control board, LXi

[g_man1146]

Hi David,

The autostart generator in my LXi works on either "Low AC / Low
Battery" or on "No AC". I was under the impression that the outlet
served as a AC voltage sense point too. Therefore, if it was on the
inverter, it would not sense that the shore power was out. I'll
have to get into the circuit to actually see whats up. It is one of
those things that has always worked and I've never had to check.
Yours, being newer, may be different but if mine starts on "no AC",
it will run until AC is restored. If starting because of low
batteries, it will run 2 hours and check again. 2 more will be added
if batteries are still low. I've never had a situation where it
started because of "Low AC Voltage" and only believe it does because
of conversations with the factory. One other note; the Radio Shack
power supply on mine is an adjustable output voltage model. Was
yours? Did it somehow get set to the wrong voltage for the board?
