ADDING A SECOND DISPLAY UNIT TO 

THE SYSTEM

A second display unit can be added to an existing system as fol-

lows:
1.  Install two non-rechargeable AAA 1.5V batteries into the 

second display unit. Observe correct battery polarity which is 

indicated within the battery compartment.

2.  Follow steps 21A through 24 in the “Installation” section.

NOTE:

Adding a second display unit to an existing system will not 

affect the pairing information in the original display unit. The 

original display unit will continue to function normally.

APPENDIX

RETROFITTING THE NEXUS REMOTE MONITOR INTO A 

PRE-2010 MODEL GENERATOR

The Nexus Remote Monitor was developed for the 2010 Home 

Standby product line but is also compatible with several of the 

2008 and 2009 Home Standby models.
•  It is fully compatible with 2008/09 17 and 20kW models with 3 

status LED’s on the side panel.

• It is compatible with 2008/09 10 and 14kW models with 2 

status LED’s on the side panel, except the yellow Maintenance 

LED on the Nexus Remote Monitor will not function.

•  It is not compatible with 2008/09 8kW models.
The 4-wire LED wire harness in pre-2010 models needs to be 

separated from the main wire harness to provide enough length to 

reach the generator transceiver.
The following instructions replace Step 11 in the general installa-

tion instructions.
1.  Remove the four screws holding the control panel in place.
2.  Lift the control panel up and move it out of the way (Figure 

1).

Figure 1 — Remove the Control Panel

3.  Cut the tie wrap holding the 4-wire LED wire harness to the 

enclosure (Figure 2, "A").

4.  Carefully cut and remove the tape from the main wire harness. 

(Figure 2, "B").

5.  Temporarily pull the 4-wire LED wire harness up through the 

hole in the control panel (Figure 2, "C").

Figure 2 — 4-wire LED Wire Harness Position

6.  Separate the 4-wire LED wire harness from the rest of the 

wire harness, cutting and removing all but the last tie wrap 

(Figure3, "D") holding the 4-wire LED harness (Figure 3, "E") 

to the main harness.

Figure 3 — Separate the 4-wire LED Wire 

Harness from Main Harness

7.  Route the 4-wire LED wire harness back down through the 

hole in the control panel (refer back to Figure 2, "C"). 

8.  Route the 4-wire LED wire harness back to the generator 

transceiver, making sure there is enough wire length to plug 

into the Generator Transceiver.

9.  Replace the control panel and secure with the four mounting 

screws.

10.  Return to step 12 in the general installation instructions.
