As I’ve been researching this, the Atkinson GSCM can do this when coupled to an external relay. If I understand correctly. Jay The warm up ( on delay ) is 0- 60 seconds, the cool down ( off delay) is 0-120 seconds https://thesolarstore.com/manuals/GSCM.pdf > On Sep 16, 2023, at 9:20 AM, Chri

Michael, Sol Ark does not have an explicit or adjustable cool down setting, but it has fixed the problem of dropping the AGS signal under full load. dus...@sol-ark.com can you confirm this? On Fri, Sep 15, 2023 at 5:41 PM Michael Morningstar via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> w

Chris, Just so that I understand correctly, are you saying that new firmware allows for generator cool down? On Fri, Sep 15, 2023 at 2:33 PM Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > I saw that setting. I didn't have a chance to look it up today, but I'm > go

I saw that setting. I didn't have a chance to look it up today, but I'm going back to the site tomorrow. I'm going to play with that and try to get rid of the ancillary equipment that is no longer necessary. Thanks for the tip. On Fri, Sep 15, 2023, 5:26 PM Chris Sparadeo wrote: > In an off-grid

In an off-grid scenario I would suggest utilizing the grid connect timer as a Gen warm up. I typically set this qualification time to 30 or 60 seconds. Sol Ark fixed the problem with dropping the 2 wire start under full load, so if this is an issue for you, I would update the firmware. On Fri, Sep

I just replaced two Sunny Islands and one Sunny Boy that I did not install with a single Sol-Ark 15k today. The generator installer (not me) had already installed a custom but simple time delay relay. I didn't get into the logic of it, but from what I understand the generator already had a cool-dow

We learned of this major deficiency after an eight unit install. No cool down is disastrous to modern diesels. Our work around was installing a 400amp contactor and macromatic programmable relay. On Thu, Sep 14, 2023 at 10:05 PM Jerry Shafer via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wro

Jay, wrenches ASCO makes multiple ATS controls that can manage delays latching up and for cool down. Most of the gensets have are programmed cool down after relay opens so its not an issue. Generally on start up the genny connects as soon as it's voltage and freq are within range. fun times On

Hi All, I have a client with a sol ark and it doesn’t have warm up or cool down, kind of amazing companies are going backwards in their tech. Has anyone come up with external fix for this? I am guessing the internal relay on the sol ark switches closed when it sees the correct volts/hz and o
