Thanks for the input folks. I was about to install one on my 5 to unit, to run off of a 13k generator during outages.
I received my replacement Easystart Flex from MicroAir due to a small amount of moisture building up on the top clear case , and was installed by my HVAC company an hour ago and I'm back up and running. MicroAir support has been great and they stand behind their product. But the tech pulled out 2 older models of the MicroAir easy start which has failed from their customers because of water intrusion so I had them install behind the panel where the capacitor goes. The HVAC techs believe the high humidity here in my area is building up where the tail whip enters the case.
My failed 7 hours after installation
Sorry to hear that! Would you share your serial number? What did the failure look like?
I haven't installed my flex unit yet. Waiting for the install kit. Flex unit # 398011290 There is a questionable area on the cover left side looking straight on. Now I'm worried.
This is the replacement unit I've received. It doesn't appear to me that the gasket is properly seated on this one either: czcams.com/users/postUgkxUtZzojeoNNiHvI0Jb6sBVoijhWiFFuMX
Any way you can see if the capacitors are the same from the failed one vs new?
@@pullmarkbird9112 Capacitors are black in the new units vs brown in the failed one. Same ratings though (200uF 400V IIRC)
It's not the gasket seal. Micro Air had a bad batch of capacitors on 4% of their Flex soft start units with serial number 398006209 or less. What is your serial number? According to MicroAir, they have resolved the problem on units greater than s/n 6209.
Oh wow, thanks for the information - how did you come by it? I have received a replacement unit and it appears that the gasket/cover are not seated properly. I know for a fact that the old unit leaks electrolyte from the inside, i.e. it's not properly sealed. On the new unit the gasket does not appear to be flat against the plexiglass casing anywhere except in one corner (it's shiny and twice as wide as elsewhere on the unit). I'll check and post s/n tomorrow. Thanks again!
Both of my units start with 3980 and the failed one is 398000665, while the replacement is >6209. I'm discussing the gasket seating with MicroAir currently as well (I wish I could post a pic in comments!) as there is no way the unit is properly sealed.
Just installed replacement unit today s/n 398006717. Fingers crossed
Good to know, thank You!!!
Might be the bowing is from the capacitor gases inside. Now I'm skittish after watching yours tank in such a short time. Mine was installed not long ago by my HVAC Co. Keep us informed how the company handled your situation.
I've received a replacement unit and looks like bowing might be a separate issue, see: czcams.com/users/postUgkxUtZzojeoNNiHvI0Jb6sBVoijhWiFFuMX
@@ArcadiyIvanov I can't tell you how much I appreciate the update. This morning I noticed a small area of my Flex unit that was cloudy. I did send a email out to to tech support with pics. Mine still working with no faults but have noticed my start up amps have increase. Thanks again.
My Flex failed after 1 week of operation. Trying to get a replacement.
Thanks for your report!
My flex failed 2 weeks after install.
Thanks for your report!
My Easy Start Flex just failed the same way within 24 hours of installation on my 4ton AC by an HVAC licensed and experienced technician. I have already submitted an RMA request. Hopefully it will go smooth.
Sorry to hear about that. They are not supposed to fail before the compressor does. I've submitted one as well and they are sending a new one. Do you know how yours has failed?
I am guessing the soft start was hooked up to the capacitor run wire instead of the compressor run wire. It clearly states to not do this on the installation instructions. It even mentions that what you experienced will be the result if hooked up that way.
I just heard back from MicroAir. It was a very quick and professional response. I received no run around and should have a replacement pretty quick.
My experience with Micro Air is theyll do the right thing.
@@03harleydeuce It's been running normally for >1500 starts for several weeks and was hooked up to the compressor run wire. I had to reverse the installation as well after the failure so there is no doubt and have before and after installation pictures and videos.
Very neat. Does the Onlien one last the entire discharge durration at a high wattage?
I am yet to conduct the full discharge and generator tests, but Opti-UPS has a powerful internal and temperature sensor, and at 0.5kW the temperature didn't even budge.
New version of the system is out with Opti-UPS DS1000E PF1. CyberPower should not be used as it overheats and starts smelling even after 300W prolonged (1hr+) load. czcams.com/video/kqziTlYkbGw/video.html
How long will this run at capacity? I have an old one that needs updating now that my "space station" computer needs have expanded but I want it to have enough juice to last a while if I am not around to turn it all off quickly.
This system should not be run at capacity or even close to it. This UPS almost melted after running for close to an hour running at less than 300W. Internal components overheat at prolonged inversion. I've upgraded to Opti-UPS DS1000E and new video is out.
@@ArcadiyIvanov Thanks for the responce. Trying to find a good solution because out power is horrible and does not maintain proper voltages here.
@@DillysADV Check out czcams.com/video/kqziTlYkbGw/video.html
Did you follow a guide for this? Seems hard to find info online about doing this with that model and I would really like to
Nope, just looked at the UPS, found it's 24V battery pack of 12V x 2 serialized, found the UPS is using AWG 10 wire. Ran the calculation for maximum current (900W / 24V = 37.5A). Got appropriate connectors for 10 AWG wire and 37.5A current, got batteries, got caddies, got voltmeters, connectors crimpers and just assembled everything together.

but that's like in double speed or something, right?

Good job Nice tree. Do you know what rootstock it is on
Unfortunately no. It didn't survive the winter, probably due to insufficient draining or root rot.
Mainly roost stock they using lemons
How old is your kumquat tree? Thanks.
Fantastic! Any follow up videos?
Nice! The pineapple seems to be doing well also!
