The devil is in the details . Here is the weird gizmo now installed . We also see a transplanted latch or bracket under the panel handle . I took it off my other box . It obviously there to lock the handle with a paddle lock because there is a hole in it .

Default Warning

I sealed the charging compartment door ( fridge door ) and adjusted the hinges and handle to make a good seal . I also sealed the holes were the armoured cables come in with mastic ( glazing compound ) , what we used to seal glass panes in window frames . Posted the warning sign so now we are ready for another function test with both generators running . Too bad i don’t have a Decibel meter . ...

Hi Robert: if you have a smart phone you can download decibel meters for free. I have one called Decibel X. I’m sure it is not 100% accurate, but the readings seem consistent and in the right range with what would be expected. I think it’s quite close.

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 .
