I was very worried about purchasing a product from Greece, but Nick Alexander & his crew were outstanding & the device works perfectly! I know nothing about electricity & could not find an electrician willing to help me in this area. Nick walked me through wiring not one generator, but TWO, since the first one blew a gasket shortly after we had wired it to the V6. His knowledge of generators mixed with his knowledge of his own device is astounding! His patience is also immeasurably valuable to someone like me. (Currently working on a wiring for idiots document to hopefully save him time with someone like me in the future.) :)
I purchased the V6 AutoGen to start my generator which sits on a dock on Lake Travis in Texas almost a 1000 feet from my home with no line of sight at most times (not a constant level lake, so the dock goes out as the water goes down). The timer is not being used in this video, but will be once the heat returns to the area & watering regularly is again necessary. The timer starts the V6, which starts the generator, in this instance, I also have a RainBird controller on my house wired to the dock via a relay switch which starts the pump a few minutes after the generator starts. There is NO power on my dock except for the generator and inverter. Yes, I have an electrical box, but this is ONLY run via the generator or the solar inverter for light switches. An electrician hooked up the box years ago. Solar is stupid expensive & they scammed me for a ton of money before I realized I needed to go back to the generator! Running electricity to a constantly moving target is also stupid expensive, as well as dangerous! The V6 AutoGen SAVED THE DAY, MY WALLET, MY SANITY!
As you will see in the video, the V6 Autogen also attempts numerous times to start the generator even when it is cold. Once started, you can see it in the app and you get an email indicating the generator is running! My situation is obvious, but if your situation does not produce an obvious result, i.e. watering the lawn, then the emails and/or the app (if you have line of site) are most helpful.
The video is rather long, so if you just want to see the V6 in action, stop once I get on the four wheeler. The sprinkler does start in like the last 2 seconds of the video, it just takes a while for the water to go further uphill. My pump is also amazing, she's a beast! I started with the lever to move the choke open and closed and then had to switch to a Cummins with an auto choke and it worked too! #V6 #V6AutoGen #AutoGen #DCAutoGen
