5500i Generator Control Panel
The control panel for the 5500i model (Fig. 2B) is located behind the maintenance access cover and has the
same features and functionality as outlined above for the 4000i, with the following notable
exceptions:
1. Status indicator lights.
A. Low oil LED – This light indicates low oil level and will not allow the engine to start or run.
B. Overload / Output ready LED – The 5500i model uses a single LED for these two functions.
When this light is green, this indicates that the generator is ready to use. When this light
is red, this indicates a general system electrical overload.
2. ON/OFF 15 Amp AC Output Circuit Breaker – The 5500i model uses two separate circuits as the
AC output, a 15 Amp circuit and a separate 30 Amp circuit. The 15 Amp circuit breaker
automatically disconnects when the 15 Amp circuit is overloaded to protect the generator and
the appliance(s).
3.
ON/OFF 30 Amp AC Output Circuit Breaker – The 30 Amp circuit breaker automatically
disconnects when the 30 Amp circuit is overloaded to protect the generator and the
appliance(s).
