Ralph, I think the best way to describe the operation of the Gencon
is to say that it simply sits in a polling loop and watches the
three main inputs ie. House battery, Cranking battery and shore
power.

There are subtle differences in the various firmware versions but
typically the Gencon will start your genset if it sees a brown-out
condition for at least ten seconds. Or if either battery drops below
their respective thresholds.

If you have any questions about specific firmware releases, please
feel free to ask.

As for schematics etc. You may post anything you find on the
Westhaver Associates website here for the benefit of the Bluebird
forum members. If there is some aspect of the Gencon that you would
like to have explained/documented and it isn't already addressed on
our website we'll do our best to address it and post the new
information.

Thank your for your support,
Wes Westhaver
