Default Function test

Thank you so much Wayne . That’s an excellent App . Here we have the truck with both Chorhorses running and charging up the batteries . Next i will report on the noise both inside and outside .

Default 100 feet from the box

Here is the reading at 100´ feet from the box at 66 Db . I had 73 Db standing 10 ‘ feet from the box immediately in front of the Briggs & Stratton muffler that’s just over the rear right tire . Tomorrow i will try with only one generator running .

Default noise tests day 2

Noise tests day 2 : With truck running and No 1 ( upper ) Chorehorse running . Operator ´s seat inside the box : 73 db . Outside 10 feet from truck : 79 db . 50 feet from truck : 69 db . 100 feet from truck : 61 db . I don’t see why the 2 generators would have to run at the same time anyway . The results are very similar with the truck engine not running by about 1 db .

Here is the reading with the truck engine and the No 1 ( upper ) Chorehorse running . Much more comfortable for the operators than with both generators running . The next test will consist of listening to radio transmissions while the No 1 or No 2 generator is running . I will need to put up a quick aerial on top , connect the No 19 set to the battery bank not being charged and listen to see what the legibility is.

Default Grant battery rack

Started building a rack for the so called Grant battery today . It’s the battery used to start the Onan generator . I used the original 4 holes in the floor of the box . Just overhead is the outlet conduit box for the pos & neg cables connected to the DC side of the generator . To the right , the dedicated tool & spares box for the 19 HP unit .
