Installation and Operation
Section 3 Installation and Operation
Installation
The Connectivity Server is installed using a conduit
connector (part no. 10000032818). See Figure 3-1.
1. Place the Connectivity Server (A) on top of the
mounting enclosure (B) with LEDs facing the front.
2. Place the conduit connector (C) beneath the
conduit opening and rotate clockwise until it
contacts the end panel.
3. Hand tighten the conduit connector, then tighten to
16 in-lb (1.81 Nm).
NOTE: Do not over tighten conduit connector.
NOTE: Generac does not recommend opening the
enclosure. However, if opened, the enclosure screws
must to be tightened to 6 in-lb (0.68 Nm).
Figure 3-1. Installation
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Connectivity Server
contains an on-board chip antenna for Wi-Fi/
Bluetooth signal. The signal will penetrate through
the plastic enclosure, but any metal surface around
the Connectivity Server will reduce its range. For
maximum signal range, use an extension kit (part no.
A0000310806) and mount the Connectivity Server on
top of the generator enclosure. See Using the
Extension Kit to Mount Outside Generator Enclosure.
Using the Extension Kit to Mount Outside
Generator Enclosure
The Connectivity Server can be mounted on top of the
generator enclosure for extended Wi-Fi range.
1. Remove the conduit connector.
2. Remove the Control Cabinet cable from Power and
RS-485 Connection (see Figure 2-1, item B) of
Connectivity Server.
3. Remove any other cables, including Ethernet
cable, connected to Connectivity Server.
4. Follow instructions as outlined in the drawing
supplied with A0000310806 extension kit to mount
the Connectivity Server on top of generator
enclosure.
5. Connect any other cables, including Ethernet
cable, that were connected to Connectivity Server.
6. Use conduit connector to secure the Connectivity
Server to the generator enclosure.
Cleaning
Do not use any cleaning solution to clean the
Connectivity Server enclosure or cover. Clean with a
damp cloth or sponge. The Connectivity Server contains
electronic circuitry. Use extra caution not to drip water
inside the Connectivity Server. If water or other liquid
enters the Connectivity Server, disconnect power until
completely dry.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
There are two LEDs at the front on the enclosure:
•Red LED: Represents system power.
– If red LED is on, Connectivity Server is powered.
– If red LED is off, Connectivity Server is not pow-
ered.
•Green LED: Represents RS-485 (only) communi-
cation status.
– If green LED is blinking, RS-485 communication
is working properly. The blinking rate will be 0.25
seconds on and 0.25 seconds off (2 Hz).
– If green LED is off, RS-485 communication is not
working properly or RS-485 interface is not con-
nected.
Connecting to the Connectivity
Server
The Connectivity Server can be accessed via Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or Ethernet. ModBus RTU access can be
enabled using a third party ModBus/RS-485 to USB
converter.
NOTE: Do not enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
simultaneously. If Wi-Fi is needed, disable Bluetooth. If
Bluetooth is needed, disable Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi Connection
1. See Figure 3-2. On the Power Zone Pro Main
Controller Built-in Display, select “System
Settings”.
2. Select “Enable” to enable Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. Wi-Fi
and BlueTooth cannot be enabled at the same
time.

Alarms and Warnings
See Figure 3-28. The Alarms and Warnings screen
displays only active and present alarms and warnings.
A warning (A) is considered active when the condition for
the warning is present. A warning is low severity and
does not need to be acknowledged.
An alarm or shutdown alarm (B or C) is considered active
when an alarm condition is or was present, but the alarm
has not yet been acknowledged. An alarm is high
severity and must be acknowledged. A shutdown alarm
is highest severity and must be acknowledged. The
generator will not operate when a shutdown alarm is
present.
Alarms and Warnings are displayed with their respective
icons to the left. The top text displays the date that the
Alarm or Warning occurred. The bottom text displays the
type of message, the associated function code and the
value that caused the alarm to trigger.
NOTE: The displayed value is the value at the time the
fault is triggered, not the setpoint for the condition.

to acknowledge all active alarms. Once pressed, the
icons for all active alarms with present conditions will turn
