OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The operator is responsible for proper and safe use 
of the equipment. The manufacturer strongly recom-
mends that the operator read this Owner's Manual 
and thoroughly understand all instructions before 
using this equipment. The manufacturer also strong-
ly recommends instructing other users to properly 
start and operate the unit. This prepares them if they 
need to operate the equipment in an emergency.
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety 
checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe 
operation is performed promptly, and to have the 
equipment checked periodically by an Authorized 
Service Dealer. Normal maintenance service and 
replacement of parts are the responsibility of the 
owner/operator and, as such, are not considered 
defects in materials or workmanship within the 
terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits 
and usage contribute to the need for maintenance 
service.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensures 
a minimum number of problems and keeps operating 
expenses at a minimum. See an Authorized Service 
Dealer for service aids and accessories.
Operating instructions presented in this manual 
assume that the standby electric system has been 
installed by an Authorized Service Dealer or other 
competent, qualified contractor. Installation of this 
equipment is not a “do-it-yourself” project.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE
When the generator requires servicing or repairs, 
contact an Authorized Service Dealer for assistance. 
Service technicians are factory-trained and are capa-
ble of handling all service needs.
When contacting an Authorized Service Dealer about 
parts and service, always supply the complete model 
number of the unit as given on the front cover of this 
manual or on the DATA LABEL affixed to the unit.
INTRODUCTION
The wireless display system consists of two identical 
radio transceivers, one mounted near the generator 
and the other (the one with the display), should be 
in a convenient viewing location. The system has a 
“line of sight” range of about 300 feet but this will be 
reduced if the signal has to go through walls, etc.. The 
display is intended to show the status of the genera-
tor and warn you if the system is in an alarm state. It 
also provides the following additional functions:
Permanent time/date stamped history of generator 
events such as starting and stopping
Allowing remote starting and stopping of the gen-
erator
‹
‹
Facility to set an exercise time & day from the dis-
play
Facility to adjust the “bad” utility voltage thresh-
old
Facility to set up a service schedule
Ability to add extra displays
Graphing capability
The unit can be either battery powered or fed from a 
separate plug in wall transformer. The History is kept 
in permanent memory that is not lost even when all 
power is lost. The clock function is kept alive by a 
separate, replaceable 10 year life battery.
BATTERY OPERATION
The wireless display can be operated either from a 
plug in wall transformer or from three AAA alkaline 
batteries. The batteries can be rechargeable but are 
NOT recharged from the wall transformer and should 
be separately charged. In the case of battery opera-
tion, the unit will go to sleep for 60 seconds then 
exchange data for up to two (2) seconds to conserve 
battery life. The display screen will turn off in the 
sleep mode unless there is an alarm to be displayed. 
It can be awoken by pressing the ENTER key after 
which it will remain awake for one (1) minute if no 
further keys are pressed. If the display is operated 
continuously on batteries, the expected battery life is 
three (3) months when using standard alkaline 1.2Ah 
batteries. The batteries are NOT used to retain data 
such as the history log or the radio settings, they will 
not be lost in the event of a dead battery.
NOTE 1:
In battery sleep mode it will take up to two (2) 
minutes to detect if the radio link is lost. This long 
delay is to allow for the unit’s sleep time.
NOTE 2:
In battery sleep mode, if the wall transformer is 
plugged into the unit, it will take up to one minute 
to recognize this fact.
 There is a separate battery for the time and date 
function. This has an expected life of ten years 
after which it can be replaced. To replace the bat-
tery, remove the four screws holding on the back 
of the case and carefully fold out the circuit board 
without disconnecting the display. Remove the large 
yellow battery module from the centre of the board 
by pulling on the corners. Replace the battery THE 
CORRECT WAY ROUND with the spot in the corner 
of the battery facing the on/off switch. Replace the cir-
cuit board and the back of the case. You will need to 
reset the time and date. The GENERAC part number 
for the battery is 0A7287G.
