Auto start generator ?

bshpilot,

Thanks-- and a very good answer so that a short-term drop in voltage will not trigger a generator start before it is really needed.

read my previous post - as i made some changes/edits after it was just posted.

YES a short-term drop could trigger the gen to start.

I think the EC-30W default voltage drop (valley) is pre programmed for 30 or 60 seconds.

I have mine set for 60 seconds (if voltage hits 12.0 vdc for 60 seconds, or longer) then generator starts (and runs for 45 minutes after battery voltage reaches "full").
