Certain models of home standby generators feature a set of lights behind a single, translucent lens. These lights indicate the operating status of the generator. When LEDs are illuminated, the control panel will display more information about the LED status.
Green(A): The "Ready" status,illuminates when the utility is present and the unit is in auto. This light also flashes when there is an outage and the unit is running.
Red (B): The "Alarm" status, illuminates when the generator is OFF or a shutdown alarm is detected. Most alarm codes require an authorized service dealer to address. See the How Can I Find a Generac Service Dealer in My Area? article.
Yellow (C): The "Non-critical Alert" status,illuminates when maintenance is due or when a warning is present.
Status LED combinations
Multiple LEDs can be illuminated at the same time.
A red light can occur in combination with either a green or yellow light.
A yellow maintenance light can occur in combination with either a red or green light.
Certain combinations can often be confused with an orangestatus.
Troubleshooting
What does the control panel say? The LED lights work in tandem with the control panel to let the homeowner and technicians know what needs to be addressed on the generator.
If a generator requires maintenance, the owner can contact an independent authorized service dealer, or perform their maintenance if they feel comfortable doing so.
