Figure 5-11. Modified PWRcell ATS Controller
See Figure 5-11. For AC Generator Integration, the
Inverter ATS must be upgraded with a PWRcell ATS
Controller (Part #: A0002532225; pictured left). Purchase
Upgrade Kit (Model G0080060) to utilize this controller.
This controller may be used in all other configurations
that require a PWRcell ATS.
NOTE: Use of an PWRcell ATS Controller version that is
incompatible with the intended application may result in
unexpected and incorrect behavior from your PWRcell
system. Review the following materials closely to ensure
the correct equipment is being used for the chosen
configuration.

Connecting Ethernet

IMPORTANT NOTE: Generac requires all PWRcell
system components to be connected to the Internet
and to maintain such connection throughout the war-
ranty period. Internet connectivity is established via
the PWRcell Inverter. By installing the PWRcell
Inverter and connecting it to the Internet, Customer
agrees that Generac may remotely monitor the use
and condition of the system and update the system's
firmware, as necessary, without further notice. If the
PWRcell system loses Internet connection for an
extended period, Generac may not be able to provide
important remote upgrades. In such cases, Generac
may not be able to honor the full warranty.

NOTE: It is the installer's responsibility to verify the
Internet connection is reliable and secure. Generac
recommends using a hardwired connection to provide
Internet connectivity. Generac does not support using
any wireless or power line carrier network devices. Use
these devices at your own discretion.
NOTE: Ethernet cable run must be dedicated for the
inverter. This cable may not be daisy-chained to another
device, including another PWRcell Inverter.
NOTE: Class 2 low voltage cable shall be installed
independent of other power conductors. See NEC
725.136 for additional information.

Configuring Static IP Settings

NOTE: For networks not configured for DHCP, use the
MAC address to locate the device on the network.
To manually configure settings:
1. From the REbus Beacon device page on the
