Using the Auto/Off/Manual Interface
NOTE:
Transfer to generator power will cause either the AUTO (green), MANUAL (blue), or OFF (red) button to flash
depending on which mode the generator is in at the time of utility loss.
Using the LED Interface
The user interface includes seven (7) LEDs to indicate
generator alarms, warnings, and maintenance actions
due. See
and the following table for details on
each indication.
The user interface also includes 3-mode LEDs to indicate
the current generator mode setting (AUTO, MANUAL, or
OFF). The active LED is also used to indicate whether
the utility voltage is present. The active LED will be solid
when utility is available. It will flash to indicate the loss of
utility power. For example; when the generator is in
AUTO and Utility is present, the green AUTO LED will be
solid ON. When the generator is in AUTO and utility is
lost, the AUTO LED will flash.
