I really dont know what your question means or is , but if its can you set it up to start the gen then yes.
there is a gen autostart option in the GX unit. go to settings then relay, change the relay mode to gen autostart. ten all the options will appear in autostart.
the GX devices relay is a N/Open relay so you have to setup some timers to hold the start button basically on for a set number of sec. etc etc
or if its how to connect it, then just connect it to the AC IN 1 of the multiplus
Thanks for your response, we have a generator that doesn't have Auto Start, it's connected to the correct AC IN 1, but the Multiplus rejects the generator after approx. 1 minute. I have changed the settings in the Control GX 3 app, but uncertain on how to transfer those altered settings to the Multiplus ll, I've spent a good few hours researching, but unable to come up with the correct settings that should be set on the Multiplus ll
Overload L1: Warning, is what came up
Hi @Bluspark
By default the Multi should just accept the generator when you start it. If it doesn't accept it, have a read through here: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/multiplus_faq
