How to use Multiplus-II GX relay to start a generator?

Hi,

I have recently install a Multiplus 11 GX 5000 in a off grid scenario. I need to control the genset for a exercise period every 30day for 10 minutes? Also there is no other buttons there is no way to manually start the genset without using a external switch? no internet on site.

Hi @bradscott

The MPII-GX does not have a relay in the GX device, so you cannot use the relay logic.

You can only use the internal Multiplus relay with assistants, and these don't have a timer setting.

Hi

Need to add in the timer setting for the GX units, as i have found this on some installs.

So i wont use these now, only the plain CCGX or raspi control which works.
