General Information POWER ZONE™ CONTROLLER The Power Zone™ controller is an auto start controller that monitors the unit and indicates operational status and fault conditions. The controller can be programmed to automatically start or stop based on time schedule, fault condition, or load demand.
General Information Auto/Manual Mode The Auto/Manual Mode ( ) button is used to change the startup and shutdown modes of the unit. When pressed once, the unit enters Manual mode and when pressed and held for five seconds, the unit enters Auto mode. If in Auto mode, pressing once will return the unit to Manual mode.
General Information unit management software is loaded. It displays a live readout of the kW meter, percent of load used (gauge), selected phase, volts and amps being produced by the generator, and the fuel level with time until empty. The controller will automatically return to this screen from any other screen after a period of inactivity.
General Information • Battery: Displays the engine battery voltage. Current battery voltage is displayed directly below the gauge at all times. The gauge displays battery voltage between 0-50V. A normal reading is 12-14V on 12 volt systems and 24-26V on 24 volt systems (with the engine running). Generator Screen The Generator screen displays the average voltage frequency, volts and amps from the generator, as well as line- to-line voltage, and individual line-to-neutral voltage, amperage and power (kW).

Operation AUTO (REMOTE) STARTING OF THE UNIT Auto mode is used when the unit is started from a location other than the control panel by using a transfer switch. Auto (remote start) is the normal setting when the unit is being used as a standby power supply. Before putting the unit in the Auto mode, review the Prestart Checklist Manually Starting the...
Operation WARNING Before any connections are made to the generator, make sure that the main circuit breaker and the Control Power switch are OFF (O). Potentially lethal voltages may be present at the generator connection lugs. DANGER IMPROPER OR INCORRECT CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES TO BACKFEED INTO UTILITY LINES.

Operation DANGER IMPROPER OR INCORRECT CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGE TO BACKFEED INTO UTILITY LINES. THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR ELECTROCUTION TO UTILITY WORKERS NEARBY. MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR IS SUPPLYING POWER TO AN ISOLATED OBJECT OR BUILDING THAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY UTILITY LINES.
Operation FINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT Adjustment of the output voltage from the generator is necessary to provide the correct voltage to the end of the power line. Voltage adjustment can be carried out at any time on the Voltage Adjust screen. Manual Mode Voltage Adjust - Press...
Operation VOLTAGE REGULATOR The electronic voltage regulator controls the output of the generator by regulating the current into the exciter field. The regulator has four screwdriver adjustable potentiometers that may be adjusted for U/F dip, under frequency protection (U/F), stability, and voltage. The voltage regulator on the unit is adjusted before shipment from the factory. Contact Generac Mobile Products LLC for additional information before attempting to adjust the voltage regulator.
Operation MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER The main circuit breaker is located on the main control panel. When the breaker is OFF (O), power is interrupted between the connection lugs, the optional cam lock On/I On/I receptacles, and the generator. Once the connections have been made to the connection lugs or the optional cam lock receptacles, and the unit has been started and allowed to reach normal operating temperature, the breaker may be switched ON (I).
Page 38
Operation When the generator is used as a standby power supply, it must be equipped with a transfer switch which isolates it from the utility’s distribution system. A transfer switch is designed to transfer electrical loads from the normal power source (utility) to the emergency power source (generator) when normal voltage falls below a prescribed level.
Operation AUTO EXERCISE TIMER The Power Zone™ controller is capable of starting and stopping the unit automatically, based on a programmable schedule. Units installed in a standby application should be exercised regularly to maintain operating condition and to ensure responsiveness in an emergency situation. Use the following procedures to operate the unit in Auto mode: Accessing the Configuration Menu 1.
Operation Item Values Schedule Entry 1-16 Start Time 00:00-23:59 Duration 00:00-99:59 Monday-Sunday Week (of month) First, Second, Third, Fourth Note: The controller must be in Auto mode to run at the programmed time. Use a trickle or solar battery charger to prevent the controller from draining the battery while in Auto mode.
Operation Use the emergency stop switch only when the unit must be shut down immediately. For any other shut down, see Shutting Down the Unit. TOWING THE UNIT 1. Use the jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling and attach the safety chains or cables to the vehicle.

Section 5 - Troubleshooting GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING Some of the more common problems are listed in the table below. This information is intended to be a check or verification that simple causes can be located and fixed. It does not cover all types of problems. Refer to the OEM engine operator’s manual for additional troubleshooting information.
Page 50
Troubleshooting Table 1 - General Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Cause Solution Check fuel level in tank. Check fuel pump operation. Overcrank Shutdown Fuel level low Check air filter for blockage. See the OEM engine operator’s manual for additional infor- mation. Disconnect all loads and restart unit.
Section 7 - Options & Accessories GENERATOR CAM LOCK CONNECTIONS OPTION The unit may be equipped with cam lock connections, located below the receptacles. These receptacles provide connection points for the attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the inside of the connection lug door details the proper connections for selected voltages.
Options & Accessories VISCOUS FAN CLUTCH OPTION The viscous fan clutch option allows the engine cooling fan to engage at lower speeds and disengage at higher speeds, increasing cooling system efficiency. The cooling fan will engage at full speed when the coolant temperature rises.
