Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output
If you can figure out what you wife wants for dinner at least once a week, you can work on an MEP. The DC voltage should be the same across the system, so you have already started to diagnose the issue! Study the wiring diagram (both on the door, and in the TM if need be, as it has info about...- Light in the Dark

Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output
Start with the batteries, if you are only measuring 21V, I am surprised its even starting up. From the -24 22. GENERATOR SET FAILS TO GENERATE POWER. Step 1. Test for defective ac circuit interrupter relay (K1), paragraph 2-61.3. a. If AC circuit interrupter is not defective, do Step 2. b. If...- Light in the Dark

Hurricane Beryl with Mep 802 and Light tower back up.
6% +/- is the regulated range, not the world's tightest spec. Fine for flood lights, not great for sensitive electronics.- Light in the Dark

Hurricane Beryl with Mep 802 and Light tower back up.
I would look the cabinet over to see if there is any visible water retreat line, or rusted fasteners (or anything to indicate it might have been in a flood area). And look over any visible wire contacts for any powder corrosion showing the presence of water. I would only be suspect in the cost...- Light in the Dark

Hurricane Beryl with Mep 802 and Light tower back up.

MEP 802 belly panel
Hardware cloth is just as good to cover that giant hole, thats what I do to every machine. Self tapping sheet metal screws work wonders. Its a main egress point for water (they are designed to be forded on trailers), but also an air entry point for cooling the set. Thats why I would leave it...- Light in the Dark

MEP-803A - New to me, excited to get it going.
You will also want to do the S1 start switch with the same effort. Also there is a little jumper cable between 1 and 7 positions on the start switch. It appears its in place, but its got a directional component soldered into it. Wouldnt hurt to share some photos of what you have, to confirm its...- Light in the Dark

No thats absolutely the start of a nest. You are lucky thats where it ended. Not all machines have the RTV sealant at the top. You will want to properly rodent proof the set once its out of your bed and into its final resting place. Its been covered in the forums, a bit of searching will yield...- Light in the Dark
