Control panel swap

Changing the control panel does disable or enable a generator's ability to use a Mobile Link device. It is not possible to swap a control panel for a different controller version that was not originally compatible with a generator model. For example, a homeowner could not upgrade a generator with an Evolution 1.0 controller to an Evolution 2.0 controller. These controllers have different pinouts. 
 

Note: Generac support does not recommend swapping the control panel with a control panel from another generator, this will create a mismatch of information in Generac's registration system. This may lead to further complications with successful generator registration. If you are a Generac Certified Servicing Dealer, contact Generac support to follow proper warranty and repair procedures for control panel replacement.
