3.3.1— Using the Auto/Off/Manual Buttons
NOTE: Damage caused by mis-wiring of the interconnect wires is not warrantable.
NOTE: Loss of utility power will cause either the AUTO or OFF or MANUAL button to flash. Whichever mode the generator is in at the
time of utility loss.
3.3.2— Using the LED Interface
The user interface includes seven (7) LEDs, to indicate the generator’s alarms, warnings, and maintenance actions due. See Figure 3-2 and the
following table for details on each indication.
The user interface also includes 3-mode LEDs to indicate the current generator mode setting (AUTO, MANUAL, or OFF). The active LED is also
used to indicate whether the utility voltage is present. The active LED will be solid when utility is available. It will flash to indicate the loss of utility
power. For example; when the generator is in AUTO and Utility is present, the green AUTO LED will be solid ON. When the generator is in AUTO
and utility is lost, the AUTO LED will flash.
3.4 — Alarm Response Procedures
The generator is protected by a series of sensors that will detect an Alarm/Warning condition and alert the owner/operator of the condition via the
Control Panel display. When certain alarm conditions are detected, the generator will shut down.
NOTE: Unless properly trained to clear and correct Warning and Alarm conditions, contact the nearest Authorized dealer or Trained
Technician.
