4-5.1.7 System Status Displays
The RC7GS remote control displays the operating mode and system status by lighting one or more
LEDs located on the front panel and/or by displaying a message on the LCD display. The four LEDs
reflect the same information as the single tricolor LED on the inverter/charger.
There are four types of system messages:
•
AC source messages
•
Inverter messages
•
Charger messages
•
Error messages
AC Source Messages – AC source messages appear when alternating current (shore power) is
present. In addition, the RC7GS ac source messages describe the current activity, if any, of the
generator.
1. Waiting for AC
Anytime the inverter is OFF and ac is not present, the LCD screen displays
“Waiting for AC.”
2. Genset Status: Pending, Cranking and Genstart
When the RC7GS is setup to start the generator for a specified condition
(SOC (state-of-charge), or battery voltage) and that condition has been met, the
LCD displays “Pending Genstart”.
When the initiating conditon (SOC (state-of-charge), or battery voltage) has
occurred, the Pending Genstart message is displayed for approximately two
minutes awaiting a change in the condition or a manual override. If neither
condition occurs, the RC7GS attempts to start the generator and displays
“Cranking Genset.”
Once the generator starts, there is a brief delay to allow the genset to reach operating speed
and for the inverter/charger to synchronize to the generator, at which point the LCD display shows
that AC is again available.
3. Starter Cooldown and Gen Start
In the event the genset does not start within 30 seconds, a two-minute
starter cooldown message is displayed after which another attempt to start the
generator occurs. This cycle repeats itself three more times over a 12 mintue
period.
Gen Set Error Messages
1. Gen Won’t Start
It he genset does not start after the four attempts, the RC7GS displays the message “Gen
Won’t Start” and the red Error LED on the front panel lights. No further attempts to start the genset
will occur. Correct the starting problem and manually start the genset by setting the RC7GS to
“Manual (Push On)” from the setup menu and then set it back to the previous auto-start menu, which
resets the RC7GS.
