CO SENSOR INFORMATION

The CO Watchdog carbon monoxide monitoring system 

(Fig. 13 - 1) measures the accumulation of poisonous CO 

gas while the generator is running. If the level of CO gas 

gets too high, the CO Watchdog system will automatically 

shut down the generator. 

This system is not a substitute 

for an indoor CO alarm.

Whenever the CO Watchdog system shuts down the gener-

ator, the LED on the generator control panel (Fig. 13 - 1) will 

blink red

 for at least 5 minutes after the generator is shut 

down. An LED on the sensor module itself will also start 

blinking red. 

If you notice that the LED is blinking red, 

vacate the area immediately.

 Go to an open, outdoor area. 

Ventilate the area around the generator thoroughly before 

returning. Let the generator stay shutdown for a few min-

utes before restarting the engine. This should allow carbon 

1

monoxide to dissipate from the area. If you restart the generator and CO Watchdog detects that CO levels are still 

too high, it will shut down the generator again. If CO levels are low enough, the generator will run normally.
Ensure that the generator is located in an open outdoor area, with the exhaust pointing away from occupied struc-

tures, and pointing away from the prevailing winds, such that those winds do not blow engine exhaust towards the 

sensor module. If anyone experiences dizziness, headaches, nausea, fatigue, or other symptoms of CO poisoning, 

get to fresh air immediately and seek the attention of a qualified medical professional. Follow all other directions in 

this manual regarding the connection and disconnection of electrical devices when starting or shutting down the 

generator.
When starting the generator, the CO Watchdog LED on the panel may flash. This indicates that the system is running 

a self-test procedure, and does not indicate a problem.
If the CO Watchdog LED on the panel is 

yellow

, a system error has occurred, or the CO sensor has reached the end 

of its life. Contact WEN customer service (

1-847-429-9263

, M – F 8 – 5 CST, or

for assistance.

When operating your generator, please note the following:

• The CO Watchdog does not discriminate in its input; any source of carbon monoxide in the area around the genera-

tor could cause it to activate. If the CO Watchdog LED is blinking red, safety measures should be taken immediately.
• Tampering with, disconnecting, or bypassing the CO sensor could cause hazardous conditions, including but not 

necessarily limited to injury or death, and will void your warranty. The generator will not run with the CO sensor 

disconnected or bypassed, or if the CO sensor indicates an error.
• The CO sensor has a lifetime of about 7 years and is capable of monitoring its lifetime. If your generator shows 

an error light several years after purchase, it may be time to replace the CO sensor. Contact WEN customer service 

for assistance.

NOTE:

 if the generator is oriented so that the 

engine exhaust is blown towards the CO sensor, 

the generator may shut down.
