Wireless Monitor
The generator is supplied with a battery-powered, wireless monitor.
The monitor communicates wirelessly with the generator control panel. The monitor may be placed in a suitable location in the home. The system has a line-of-sight range of about 200 feet, but this distance will decrease if the signal has to pass through walls or other objects.
The wireless monitor communicates with the generator, every 10 minutes and will display the status via a green or red LED light on the front of the monitor.
Compare the illustration below with your monitor to familiarize yourself with these important components.
