    Default Triggering Auto Start Function

    Is there a way to confirm the auto start funtion is operating on my genset. I have occasionally left the coach " inverting" for a couple of days only to get a low house battery light. I took it to Vantare where I was told it was a faulty voltage regulator. Anyway I would like to test it on my own,

    Grant,

    On my Marathon I worked on the Genmate and various start settings. To check the auto-start, I loaded it up with both A/C's running and it only took a couple hours for it to fire up checking my voltage settings.

    I would load it up with AC loads and watch what happens. I don't quite understand how the gen regulator would effect the actual auto-start function.

    I will try that, I am not sure why the regulator would affect it either( this is what I was told by Vantare). Unless it was actually a sensor that triggers the genset.
