How to troubleshoot no lights or LEDs lit on Generac Power Systems 21-light?
If no lights or LEDs are lit on your Generac Power Systems Security System, check for the correct battery supply at terminal block J10 pins 1 and 2. J10 pin 1 should be + Battery (12 or 24 volts), and J10 pin 2 should be – Battery. Refer to the “power supply requirements” section at the beginning of the manual for cable specifications.
What to do if the Communication OK LED is flashing at one second ON/one second OFF on my Generac Power Systems 21-light?
If the “Communication OK” LED is flashing at the rate of one second ON/one second OFF on your Generac Power Systems Security System, verify that the RS485 communications cable meets specifications. Ensure the RS485 connections are properly connected (RS485+ to J10 pin 5, RS485– to J10 pin 6), and the shield/screen is connected correctly at the Generator end only. Also, check the RS485 cable installation between the Annunciator and the generator’s control panel, ensuring it is not sharing a conduit or running next to high voltage/current electrical lines. Finally, use the Generator Controller GenLink communication diagnostics to check data transmission/reception via the Tx and Rx check boxes in the “Com Ports” diagnostics menu. If no data is being transmitted/received, check the cabling. If...
What to do if the Communication OK LED is flashing at 0.5 seconds ON/two seconds OFF on my Generac Power Systems 21-light Security System?
If the “Communication OK” LED on your Generac Power Systems Security System is flashing at a rate of 0.5 seconds ON/two seconds OFF, you should first check if the RS485 communications cable meets the required specifications. Then verify that the cable shield is correctly connected, ensuring it's connected at the Generator end only. Ensure proper installation of the RS485 cable between the Annunciator and the generator’s control panel, making sure it is not sharing a conduit or running near high voltage or high current electrical lines. Finally, use the Generator Controller GenLink communication diagnostics to see if data is being sent or received via the Tx and Rx check boxes. This can be found in the pull-down menu for diagnostics under “Com Ports”. If the check boxes do not change state,...
