I have the Benchmark remote start 11,500w generator and need to connect the auto start/stop to the Cerbo GX. I have never connected a generator to an inverter or Cerbo. I have the wiring schematic so I need to know which wires to connect to which area on the Cerbo GX to get this to work.
Do I need to purchase a relay to wire it to, like in the attached graphic, or can I do it just with the wires from my generator?
Please can anyone advise?
There is NO cut and dried answer here. the cerbo relay has a NO Com NC relay1 output for the gen autostart, the cerbo eighter closes or open a contact, (MAX 1 amp) on command from the cerbo auto start system
its upto you to work out the connections or ask the generator supplier.
all I could suggest is to work out how the remotes on off start buttons work and activate them using a relay
Thanks Paul for your contribution.
This guy did it on youtube running two relays. I've ordered them and will be giving it a try. What are your thoughts on this approach? Yes, I've enquired of the generator supplier but I haven't heard back yet which wires are which! Sure would make it easier!
Thanks again!
