Begin Gen Quiet and End Gen Quiet The period of time during which the generator is prevented from starting automatically can be defined using the RC7GS. To specify the begin quiet time, scroll to the Begin Gen Quiet: 00:00 by using the UP and DOWN arrow push-buttons. The selected digit for hours or minutes will be underlined and highlighted (refer to the Set Clock section for details on setting the time).

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. 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.
