I've gotten a little more information on the "new" CPE 46538 model electric start/remote controlled genny being introduced through Costco On-Line late spring or early summer.
It will have the Over Voltage Protection circuit (engine shuts down if voltage exceeds 135 VAC -- prevents connected equipment damage should the AVR fail).
A new feature is a time delay on start-up for the load as well as a release of load as the engine shuts down. This will help solve some of the issues related to AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) failure and even connected equipment.
The Intelligauge is standard. It gives AC volts, frequency and hours in digital format.
The bad news is it will most likely be July rather than June before it is available.
I have also been told the Champion model C46540 has crossed the half-million mark in ownership. Not too shabby for a little yellow synchronous generator.
I am really not that excited by the introduction of the 2,000 watt digital, but the 46538 unit is of tremendous interest to me with the remote start and shut down feature. I understand that while the remote is rated for 300 feet, the range is more like 300 yards. It is coded so owners will not be starting all similar gennys in a camping area at the same time. :)
I need one of these like a second hole-in-the-head, but I anticipate purchasing one when they are released -- I really like the concept.
No info on pricing for this model yet. I am still working on getting the $$$ figure.
