When pressed, all 3 LEDs will flash until the generator 
status is received. 

NOTICE

no communication with monitor will occur.
 

•  In order to conserve power and to extend battery life, 

the LED’s are not lit continuously; instead they are 
briefly flashed as indicated below.

run for 20 minutes, but it will not supply power to the home. 
During the exercise cycle, the monitor will continue blinking 
the GENERATOR READY green LED.
 

•  GENERATOR READY - When active, the green LED will 

flash once every 7 seconds. The green LED indicates 
that the generator is in AUTO mode and that it is 
ready to run in the event of a loss of utility power.

•  GENERATOR POWER - When active, the green LED will 

flash every 7 seconds. The green LED indicates that 
the generator is supplying power.

•  SERVICE NEEDED - When active, the red LED will flash 

in a sequence that corresponds to the service code. 
For example, when Low Frequency scrolls across the 
control board, the red LED will flash 5 times with a 3 
second pause between series of blinks until it is reset 
or the condition is corrected. When the red LED is lit, 
contact your nearest authorized service dealer.
