Honda eco throttle switch
Anyone familiar with how the eco throttle off switch works.
Background, not mine but one I use at events. Runs some timing equipment that includes a laser printer and a couple computers. One of the computers (kiosk) is a regular all in one with no battery like a laptop. So when I print something the laser printer spikes the power demand and before the generator can kick up the kiosk powers down from the power interruption. In the past I would simply turn off the eco throttle before printing, problem solved.
This weekend the switch would not work. It will go to high (non eco) when the invertor commands it but you cannot manually turn it off via the switch. I found a wiring schematic and the switch goes directly to the invertor. So short of a broken wire any ideas to repair?
I might just pick up a cheap UPC backup for the kiosk. Probably cheaper than a trip for maintenance on the generator.
