1.1 THREE LIGHT REMOTE
ANNUNCIATOR
The Generac Three Light Remote Annunciator
(Figure 1.1) provides a valuable reference when used
with the Generac automatic transfer switch and
standby generator with a C option control panel.
This equipment is designed to be mounted remotely
from the standby generator set. The panel, when
properly interconnected with a Generac standby gen-
erator system and transfer switch, annunciates up to
three (3) standby electric system operating parame-
ters.
• Utility Power Supply: This light comes ON when
customer electric loads are being powered by the
NORMAL (utility) power source.
• Emergency Power Supply: This light comes ON
when customer electric loads are being powered by
the EMERGENCY (standby) power source.
• Generator Fault Light: This light comes ON when
the generator engine has shut down automatically
due to a fault condition (such as low oil pressure,
high coolant temperature, overcrank, overspeed,
or RPM sensor loss). Fault conditions that will
result in an automatic engine shutdown are dis-
cussed in the INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS MANU-
AL for the applicable generator set.

1.1.1 INSTALLATION
Mount the annunciator at any convenient location
near or remote from the standby generator. Mounting
dimensions are shown in Appendix ???. Holes are
provided for fastening the panel to a desk, wall or
other convenient object. Four 7/8” (22mm) holes are
also provided for routing of required wiring into the
panel. Installation must comply with all applicable
codes and regulations.
Required wiring between the Model 8848 annuncia-
tor, the Generac generator meter and control (upper)
panel, and transfer switch auxiliary contacts are
shown in Appendix ???, Interconnection Diagram.
NOTE:
Two different types of auxiliary contacts may be
encountered on Generac transfer switches.
1.2 FIVE LIGHT REMOTE
ANNUNCIATOR
The Model 8617 Remote Annunciator Panel (Figure
1.2), when properly interconnected with a Generac
standby generator equipped with an Option C control
panel, will provide remote annunciation of the same
five engine operating parameters as the generator
panel. The remote panel mounts five advisory lamps.
On occurrence of one or more of the panel monitored
faults, the applicable lamp will illuminate and the
horn will sound. Both the lamp(s) and the Alarm
Horn can be turned OFF by depressing the Reset
switch. All five lamps may be tested by actuating the
Test switch. The following engine fault conditions will
be indicated on the annunciator panel:
• Low Engine Oil Pressure
• High Engine Coolant Temperature/Low Coolant
Level
• Overcrank Condition
• Overspeed Condition
• RPM Sensor Loss Condition
