- | There are many ways to automatically start and stop a genset using Victron equipment: | + | ==== 1. Which relay and control to use? ==== |
- | - potential free relay in a BMV-700. Start the generator on low battery voltage and/or low battery state of charge | + | |
- | - potential free relay in our Inverters, Multis | + | |
- | - potential free relay(s) in our Inverters, Multis and Quattros, using the Generator start/stop Assistant. [[assistants: | + | |
- | - (Expected in October 2015) [[ccgx: | + | Various Victron products have functions to automatically signal when to start and stop a generator. Here is advice on when to use which product and method. |
- | It is also possible to combine those methods, by wiring the open contacts in parallel to each other. | ||
- | ===== Starting | + | === Option 1: GX device like CCGX or Venus GX === |

+ | === Option 2: BMV Battery Monitor === | ||
+ | The next most used option is a BMV-700 Battery Monitor or similar model. It can start the generator on low battery voltage and/or low battery state of charge. See the [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Option 3: Using the relay in the Multis or Quattros === | ||
+ | The Multis, MultiPlus-IIs, | ||
+ | |||
+ | - [[ve.bus: | ||
+ | - [[assistants: | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Combining the options === | ||
+ | Lastly, its of course also possible to combine above mentioned methods, by wiring the open contacts in parallel to each other, or in series, to the Generator. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 2. How to wire generators with a three-wire interface ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | All above Victron products and devices have a single relay; which will close when the generator needs to starts; and then expect the generator to then keep running until the relay is opened again. Or the other way around. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When having a generator that requires a start pulse and a stop pulse, such as for example Cummins/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | To start such a genset, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that this solution should only be used on gensets that have their OWN control panel monitoring and automatically stopping on loss of oil pressure and other sensors. In other words: do not wire this directly to the starter motor and fuel solenoid. | ||

+ | === Alternative using Assistants === | ||

+ | (provided by Thierry Cortasa) | ||
+ | |||
+ | hi | ||
+ | |||
+ | just for information, | ||
+ | i use k1 and k2 relais and relai programmable assistant | ||
+ | |||
+ | first to close k1 if voltage under 24v (for exemple) | ||
+ | segond to open k1 if ac1 avalable | ||
+ | third to close k2 if voltage uper 27v (for exemple) | ||
+ | last to open k2 if ac1 not avalable | ||
+ | |||
+ | in this case you have a three-wire system with out any think more needed ! | ||
+ | |||
+ | i have some systeme using this solution and all looks ok | ||
