ANNUNCIATOR PANEL MOUNTING
NOTE:
For ALL models installation must always comply
with applicable codes, standards, laws and regula-
tions. Adhere strictly to local, state and national
electrical and building codes. Comply with regula-
tions the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, the
generator and related components must be installed
completely in conformance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and recommendations. Following proper
installation, do nothing that might alter a safe instal-
lation and render the unit in non-compliance with
such codes, standards, laws and regulations.
The Remote Annunciator panels (Models 004997-0 and
004999-0) are intended for flush mounting. Panel
mounting dimensions are shown in the illustration
below. The panel can be installed behind a cutout in an
existing sheet metal panel by using the four mounting
holes in its front panel. For wall mounting, use a square
outlet box behind the annunciator panel.
Flush Mounting Dimensions
The Remote Annunciator panels (Models 004996-0, and
004998-0) are mounted using any combination of the
mounting holes in the back panel of the box itself.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
The 20-light remote annunciator panel (RAP) directly
interacts with Generac’s control systems, and provides
remote monitoring and annunciation of 17 generator
parameters, two system-level warnings - System Ready
and Communications OK, and one spare channel.
Power to the RAP is supplied from the generator battery
(+12VDC to +24VDC) via a 2-wire link.
ACTIVE/PASSIVE MODE
The 20-light remote annunciator can be set to operate in
either ACTIVE or PASSIVE mode. In ACTIVE mode, it is
a modbus master and will request data from the DCP.
The DCP must be set as a slave port. In PASSIVE mode,
it is a modbus slave and must be connected to a master
port on the DCP; or, it can be hooked onto a master-
slave link as a pure listening device. This method allows
for the connection of more than one annunciator.
An annunciator connected to an engine controller would
be a master.
