That’s pretty interesting. I’ve never installed or worked on a generator. Can you see a trend on any of the outputs or anything for that matter. Thanks for sharing your videos.
@@thehvachacker thanks for that I wasn't expecting you to show it so soon haha. Thanks man I really appreciate you doing that. I couldn't even believe you can do that much on those generators.
Have you noticed that the 'generator true power' variable does not give a reading on these smaller units? I can see the variable reported on 30KW and up but don't get reading on the 24KW and smaller? Thanks,
Good afternoon friend. I have a Kohler 6EKOD generator with the unit GM83745 Kit Controller Assy ADCIID GM82832, however it presented a problem and after the repair I need to install the software again. Where can I download Sitetech software?
Hello Sir, Is Kohler SiteTech software available to every generator owner? I downloaded OnCue and USB Utility from Kohler. My generator is 14RESAL with DC2 Controller. Thank you!
I have been through trade school for HVACr and the rest is the school of hard knocks. Plus I get factory trained and certified or these manufacturers won't give you any support or access to software like this.
right on "real skills" come from both school/verbal/visual training and actual field training as well. which denotes what's wrong with all of today's college trained engineering fields, very minimal real world hands on experience (exactly why I coin them collegiate sheeple) the problem is, me saying so and anyone noticing is around 30 years too late.......
Hi I have Kohler 60 REZG model Generator. Install decision maker 3000 we need Kohler sitetech software. Can you please send me feedback for software purchase or installation.
@ Alfonce Jean Natural gas is actually the best way to power a generator when in this type of environment. With the power outages in the northeast every year and your relying on Gas from a service station that depends on GRID power to operate and besides, Gas itself has a very short shelf life....... Hopefully this helps. I know computers can be very cumbersome, but that is the way things are going today. Be Blessed
until the natural gas quits flowing due to stupendous electronic controls without power or backup upstream..... also glad to see others with their heads not up their hind-quarters deeply.
@@throttlebottle5906 or most event capable of destroing power line in a way that makes them impossible to fix in a few hours will also rip through the gaz main
Hi bro how you doing. Well I have a problem connecting USB to oncue software allways say connection loss I put the password my serial. Doing on laptop. Please help
I meat the jump from whatever to that ^^^ GARBAGE....................................................................................................................................
The 174F is where Cooldown Mode gets activated after supplying power, exercise, or just being shut down on the controller and it is junk. I have seen them reading -4555 degrees, if that was true man kind, would be purged from the planet.
This may well be the worst instructional video on the internet. The title Kohler Generator Software to upgrade firmware and test. The first 11 minutes of the video show the parameters of the generator, explained while the generator is blaring and the voice is barely intelligable. The next 4 minutes are about upgrading the firmware. It is never explained how to do this: how you download the files from Kohler, install them on your computer, and then load them into the generator. Instead we see some pictures on a laptop which are too small to read and again a naration mostly over a running generator, nor does the instructer explain how to use the controls to advance the program or for that matter to set it. It is unfortunately a total waste of time unless you want a good laugh.
I don’t film instructional videos often. Usually my videos I’m just sharing service calls I worked on. Many watch my videos seeing how I work on generators or HVAC systems. That software Kohler only distributes to Kohler Dealers. Kohler deletes the old software when issuing an updated version.
@@thehvachacker thank you for sharing this video. Do you use a USB key to get the dealer software to activate as I did not see a internet connection on your laptop.
Hey Peter, no one put a gun to your head and forced you to watch it so no need to be a douche about it. Just move along if you don't have the knowledge to fill in the gaps as these videos are actually very helpful. Dang, people are becoming such whiny victims and are always looking for something to bitch about.
Alfonce Jean why is having back up source of power dumb? You have complete faith in your area electrical grid and power company? I would love to hear your answer
Ironic statement from someone who can't spell dumb and useless. Mine has been handy to have when the power went out for 8 hours when it was -15F. Mine is used 5 times a year on average. Sometimes for less than an hour sometimes for several hours. Just last month my power was out for 3 hours when a transformer failed just as it was getting dark.
@@tiredoldmechanic1791 again Backup is good just not like this. those gen need a fuking computer to diagnotic them! plus I'm still not sure where the gaz is coming from. is it from a tank or a gaz main?

Awesome video thanks for all that details on how that stuff works. Keep up them amazing videos man.
You asked for this on the last video I was using this software.

hi friend, where i can find software ?
Kohler and they make it expire every so often. They have a tighter control over the software
Where did you go to school to learn all of this, or was it on the job training.
I can guarantee it wasn't being a collegiate sheeple :))

Thanks for the tour.
Do you work in electronics? electrical engineer? I find the good questions on here challenge me to research and learn more about what I am working on.
@@thehvachacker No sir, refrigeration mechanic & electrician here.

so you are suppose to trust that your gaz dosent go out during an electic shortage....really?

The alternative of natural gas is not gasoline, but propane.
propane costs far more resources to produce ;)
Anyone have issue upgrading firmware with the Kholer USB Utility, I’m stuck with a blinking Red and Yellow lights on a RDC2 Gen4 controller?
Nice video of firmware update
Hi bro how you doing. Well I have a problem connecting USB to oncue software allways say connection loss I put the password my serial. Doing on laptop. Please help
The oncue software you have to get from Kohler
👍
