Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] AC Panel Green Light

Good afternoon Ben,

Thanks for the reply, I definitely would not adjust with the genset on. I just had to put a new Control Board so I know the price… is there any way you could take a picture of that screw? Or give me direction on the pictures below? Is the screw on the control board? If so, here is a pictures of mine: http://nikimat.com/onan_board.jpg If not, here is a pictures of my Control Box: http://nikimat.com/onan_control.jpg Also, I have the MDKAL not sure it makes a difference. http://nikimat.com/onan_mdkal_b_specs_12_volt_kubota_d1105.html Thanks in advance!

It's easy to adjust voltage on Onan. On bottom of control box - on board facing up - is a very small screw covered with a rubberized barrier ( you need to peel a small amount off to turn screw). With a very very small screw driver turn screw clockwise to increase voltage and counter clockwise to reduce voltage. After turning screw about 1/2 turn I ran gen-set to check volts. You likely will need do this several times. I did read you could make adjustment with generator running but thought this not a good idea for me. If you drop screwdriver in energized box you could be buying new control board. No joy!

I thought in 50 hertz it was 1500 rpm and 1800 rpm for the 60 hz, but could be wrong. Ben, how were you able to adjust the voltage from the control box? I installed the Blue Sea AC Multimeter, here is the illustration if interested (should be similar for any multimeters) http://nikimat.com/blue_sea_ac_multimeter_8247.html Sincerely, Alexandre -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 9/25/16, Ben Driver joedoakes66@...

I will check out light source as well as meter. I have been thinking a Cruz Pro or maybe Blue Sea would be invaluable. Especially in older marinas where you could experience low or high voltage and be unawares. I did put a multi meter on my generator and found it was putting out only 200 vac. I was able to go into control box and adjust upward to 220 vac. A permanently installed meter would have informed me much sooner.

This, or something similar would likely work: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Indicator-Pilot-Single-Light/dp/B00DUW2NSC You may want to consider installing something more than a bulb, which really tells you nothing. I installed a CruzPro VAF110. It is a TriData meter that tells me Volts, Amps being consumed, and Frequency (50 or 60htz). http://www.cruzpro.com/vaf110.html You can see where I installed it here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/1112519422/lightbox/935875563?orderBy=ordinal&sortOrder=asc&photoFilter=ALL#zax/935875563 This gives me data on shore power and on generator power, which ever source is delivering power to the main AC breaker box. I am sure that there are other meters/gauges that do the same thing. Best, Bill BeBe 387 On Sun, Sep 25, 2016 at 8:52 AM, Ben Driver/YAHOO joedoakes66@...
