New guy here! apperantly i started to hijack a thread, but here goes
ive got a gen with the auto start built in , im looking at a low voltage detector and voltage monitor circuit with leds, trying to figure out how too put them together with a relay to trigger the auto start on the gen.
i need the relay to close to get gen to auto start when the battery bank reaches low voltage point of 11.89 VDC stay closed untill battery bank reaches full charge of 13.8 vdc then open relay to shut down gen.
i have two wires coming from the gen by putting them together it starts,runs. and shuts down when you seperate them. the two wires draw 12volts from the generator battery to trigger the auto start feature.
the gen will run 220 v to two xantrex inverters , one on each leg and they will invert and charge the batteries,
ive looked at the mc34161 detector chip for voltage checking and LM3914 for the led display monitor i need a recomandation for a relay to trigger the gen and how i would put them together. Ive got a relay from discounthomeautomatiom.com part#EELK924x i think will work for the gen
just not a good electronics guy need to know if this setup may work..
im thinking of tying the 3 circuits together so the relay will trigger when the low voltage led turns on and shuts off the relay when the high voltage led lights up. i think it should simple enough to start with .
