Automatic Generator Starter Unit Design and manufactured in-house by EST, the Automatic Generator Starter Unit (ASU for short) was originally made for Honda EU30is Gensets which required automatic control in combination with the Victron equipment.
The Victron unit can start/stop the Honda GenSet, when the Victron unit needs to charge it's battery bank or more power is required. The automatic control is controlled by the virtual switch inside the Victron unit and together with the programable switching parameters the options are almost unlimited. Any open/close contact can be used, for e.g. Battery Monitors or Battery Alarms.
General The purpose of the ASU is to provide the customer a complete self thinking and fully automatic power management system. The ASU controls the starting and stopping of the genset when a Victron unit, battery monitor or other external contact action requests auxiliary AC power to charge battery banks or power extra heavy load applications.
The ASU family is slowly evolving based on
customer feedback and requests into multiple members for multiple generator brands, each with their own
special qualities and application uses. The whole ASU family are built
to IP55 standards (IP67 and higher on request), making them waterproof
and dustproof for the extreme environments.
