Title: Toyotomi Laser 731/732 users.. Post by: wb1ead on April 04, 2024, 08:08:47 PM Hi All..just a suggestion if your Toyo heater displays E-0..it might be a case of non-grounded generator..for a couple decades I have been using a Monitor 2100 with my generator..no problem..never grounded it since the manual never said it was a must..well our brandy new Toyotomi Laser 731 would not function without seeing a ground..we use HD ext cords..best solution for me was a 4' chunk of copper rod driven in right next to the generator and attached (our generator is outside 8' from the house)
Call me a dum dum for never grounding that but in case someone else has this heater..ground your generator !! I'm saying this because we just went thru a whopper of a Nor'Easter..and it can get mighty chilly in the shack.. Take care ya all stay warm 73 de DAVE WB1EAD Title: Re: Toyotomi Laser 731/732 users..

I solved the chilly shack problem. I moved to Arizona for the winter.....Steve

That sounds like a generator issue. Code E0 is unstable power (frequency). Sounds like your generator needed ground to be able to sync frequency reliably. And no matter what, ground your generator. That's safety 101 and NEC! --Shane WP2ASS / ex KD6VXI |
