Well yesterday afternoon I started checking things out.
Started with checking the genset wiring at the junction box that is mounted on the firewall behind the "hood" on the front of the coach.
To my surprise the genset was putting out 122 volts on both legs, well within range.
So I went to the transfer switch that is located under the cedar chest at the foot of the bed. I had 122 volts coming into the switch at the generator teminals, but nothing to the output side of the transfer switch.
The switch is a Iota Engineering Co. model ITS-50R Automatic Transfer Switch. Checked their website and downloaded the wiring and manual for this switch.
Read the information they had listed for the Time Delay Module that is built into the unit and how to flip the switch to test if this part is bad since the LED on the module was not lighting up as it should be. I flipped the switch and started the genset hoping that the Transfer switch would operate as was indicated in the instructions if the module was bad.
Nothing, zero, So the switch must have more serious problems.
I found a website for Solar Sellers and they sell the Iota ITS-50R Auto Transfer Switch for $115.00 plus shipping of $16.00.
So I will call them this morning to see if they have it in stock and can ship it right away.
Maybe I can have it by this weekend and get it installed. We are going to leave on the 21st for a week long Gulf Streamers Back Home Rally and we will need the roof airs while traveling, especially if the temperatures get up to 90 like it has been last weekend.
If after I receive the new one and if I am able to repair the old one, then I will keep it for a spare just in case it is needed.
Thanks to everyone for their guidance and input to my problem, it was much appreciated.
Ron
