The four LEDs reflect the same information as the single tricolored LED on the inverter/charger. There are four types of system messages: · AC source messages · Inverter messages · Charger messages · Error messages AC Source Messages AC source messages appear when alternating current (shorepower) is present. In addition, the RC7GS AC source messages describe the current activity, if any, of the generator. Waiting for AC Anytime the inverter is OFF and AC is not present, the LCD screen displays "Waiting for AC. " 1. System Status: Waiting for AC Figure 33 Waiting for AC 2. Genset Status: Pending, Cranking and Genstart When the RC7GS is setup to start the generator for a specified condition (SOC or battery voltage) and that condition has been met, the LCD displays "Pending Genstart. " Genset Status: Pending Genstart Figure 34 Pending Genstart Messages When the initiating condition (SOC or battery voltage) has occurred, the Pending Genstart message is displayed for approximately two minutes awaiting a change in the condition or a manual override. If neither condition occurs, the RC7GS attempts to start the generator and displays "Cranking Genset. " Genset Status: Cranking Genset Figure 35 Cranking Genset Messages 19 RC7 & RC7GS Remote Controls 3. 0 OPERATION Once the generator starts, there is a brief delay to allow the genset to reach operating speed and for the inverter/charger to synchronize to the generator, at which point the LCD display shows that AC is again available. Genset Status: AC Available Figure 35 Cranking Genset Messages Starter Cooldown and Gen Start In the event the genset does not start within 30 seconds, a two-minute starter cooldown message is displayed after which another attempt to start the generator occurs. This cycle repeats itself three more times over a 12-minute period. Genset Status: Starter Cooldown 3. Figure 36 Starter Cooldown Messages Gen Set Error Messages Gen Won't Start If the genset does not start after the four attempts, the RC7GS displays the message "Gen Won't Start" and the red Error LED on the front panel lights. No further attempts to start the genset will occur. Correct the starting problem and manually start the genset by setting the RC7GS to "Manual (Push On)" from the setup menu and then set it back to the previous auto-start menu, which resets the RC7GS.

Genset Status: Gen wont Start Buzzer Sounds Red Error LED lights and error message appears in the LCD display Figure 37 Gen Won't Start Error Message NOTE: Press any arrow push-button to cancel the buzzer. Gen Quiet Fault Whenever the RC7GS is configured to Auto Start the generator under a specified condition and the condition occurs during the gen quiet period, the LCD will display the Gen Quiet Fault message and the red Error LED will light. The remote control also emits a series of beeping sounds for up to five minutes or until the error condition is corrected. The gen quiet period can be overridden by resetting the Gen Quiet Begin and End time to 00:00. 20 RC7 & RC7GS Remote Controls 3. 0 OPERATION Inverter Charge Batt. Full Error 822-4A-001 Genset Status: Gen Quiet Fault Buzzer Sounds Red Error LED Lights and Error Message Appears in the LCD Display and buzzer sounds. Figure 38 Gen Quiet Fault Error Message NOTE: Press any arrow push-button to cancel the buzzer. NOTE: If the genset is manually started from the RC7GS remote, a manual override is initiated and it will not shut down automatically. "Man Stop Only!!" (Figure 39) will be displayed in the LCD. Shut down the genset manually as previously described. NOTE: The Gen Quiet Fault error is not actually a system error or fault but rather an alert that the system has reached the selected auto-start parameter during the quiet time selected. Genset Status: Man Stop Only!! Figure 39 Genset Manual Stop Only Display The Gen Quiet Fault error is automatically reset at the end of the quiet time period if no other action is taken. Low AC Input V The Low AC Input V Fault error indicates the input AC voltage is below 45 V AC (B+ is present­Power Tech generators only). The red error LED is ON and the buzzer sounds. When the AC voltage is above 45 V AC, this error message will disappear. Inverter Charge Batt. Full Error 822-4A-001 3.
