    TopDon Thermal Camera on sale

    its not an xray machine, while it can see through walls to a degree, it will not be able to see far, generally only whats touching it unless the temp difference is extreme, like a wire under load. it will see rafters beams etc, but if the nest is like 3 feet inside from the outside roof, its...

    TopDon Thermal Camera on sale

    These things used to be like 1k 400+. I am not sure how much lower they are going to go. This is a thermal camera, doesn't work like an endoscope, this is for seeing temperature differences. It comes with an extension cable so you can position where you want.

    RPMs for PTO

    I will make an assumption since you only have one selector and it shows both 540/2000 , then the rpm is the same for both options. based on your photo. you need to run at 2500 rpms on the RPM gauge.

    RPMs for PTO

    my max has 2 marks on the rpm gauge. one is 540 and one is for 2000. I would need a picture to confirm, but yes its towards the upper end of rpm gauge. you need to run the rpm at that level, to provide the rated HP for the pto

    Electrical Mystery

    yes its possible to have a surface voltage. where any real load will drop it, but leds use very little. wire a normal incandescent bulb, and see if it works , if it doesn't unscrew the bulb. check voltage. if it shows normal, screw it back in and check voltage. if the voltage disappears, you...

    so i will say it last time, do what you want. what exactly do you think this high frequency pulse consists of? high pitch whine actually indicates crappy inductor coil potting, but I'm done, Noco is the number one selling charger on the market, I never even heard of pulsertech before this. if...

    I am not really testing desulfation, just the voltage range its shooting out, I expect to see almost nothing on my bigger battery had time to think about it. That said I will run the charger in lead acid mode. it won't really change much.
  45. LittleBill21

    Battery Info

    yea a pulse of voltage what do you think the pulse consists of? high frequency and voltage go hand in hand, frequency simply means how many times per second/minute it hits it with higher voltage. you seem to be blaming the noco, sounds more like the noco is finding bad batteries. i have a...

    Battery Info

    read back. the noco genius one is dropping close to 19V in a BAD battery, this i believe is to be expected. HF units do have consistency issues. there voltages range from 12.2 to 14.8 depending on batches. I tweak them with resistors to get 13.2, at 5 bucks it is what it is.

    I have units similar to this on a 1 MILE shot. there is a limit too how much they throttle back (about 50% is max pull back) on shorter runs we actually misalign the antenna's to get the power down more (-50db is about perfect). He's at 100 feet, these are massively overpowered. More is not...
  49. LittleBill21

    thats what 99% of them are. they are nothing more then a ac/dc transformer to a buck converter. these noco's and everything else all they are doing is using a computer to PWM a higher voltage to "hopefully" break up the sulfication on the plates. there is no magic here. you need to actually...

    So I threw this on an oscilloscope, on a battery that is bad. (4.76v) I am seeing a 18.9v pulse exactly 1 second in duration with mv amperage. what this means. The battery is bad. the noco attempts to pulse amperage into it, it doesn't take the amperage because its bad, unless the voltage...

    I don't know what a 1914 is. the 1 amp is called genius 1, instructions are underneath the cables. you definitely have something weird going on. 18+v is wrong. If I get my truck fixed today, I may hook up the genius 1 to an oscilloscope and see the range, it really shouldn't be over 15v.
  54. LittleBill21

    5'x10" Dump Trailer 3.5K Single Axle-12VDC Power Required

    the rv has 2 charging sources. the alternator from the engine with 4 gauge, then at the distribution panel. there is a 120v 4 stage battery charger, that does charge over the dual 8gauge wires. amperage is verified with a shunt at the battery.
