 Section 1 — General Information
“C” Option Control Panel with Sealed Connectors
1.1 OVERVIEW
The “C” option control panel is an analog generator
set control panel designed for Generac’s range of
standby generators. It allows for either manual (elec-
tric) or automatic startup and shutdown.
The panel is housed in a steel sheet metal enclosure
that meets NEMA 1 specifications. The front face of
the panel includes a number of analog meters and
gauges that indicate generator operating conditions,
several indicator lamps for annunciation of engine
fault shutdowns, and various other generator set con-
trols.
1.2 CONTROL PANEL COMPONENTS
The control panel contains one main printed-circuit
board (PCB), the automatic voltage regulator (AVR),
various discrete components, and terminal blocks for
external connections.
To find locations of the circuit board, refer to
Appendix 2 for the control panel exploded view. The
PCB has the following defined functions.
Remove the 15-amp fuse from the front of the
! panel during all engine maintenance to guard
against accidental or remote startup.
1.3 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

tion link, this multi-light remote indicator panel will
display the generator’s status.
◆ 1.3.2 REMOTE RELAY PANEL
This panel is similar to the remote annunciator, but, in
addition to indicator lights, it provides relay contact
closures for status (e.g., alarms).
◆ 1.3.3 ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
The following are some of the more frequently request-
ed optional accessories for the “C” option control panel:
• Emergency stop button
• Oil temperature gauge
• Engine run relay
• 100 dBa alarm horn

2 Generac® Power Systems, Inc.
1.4 PANEL FACE COMPONENTS
(FIGURE 1.1, PAGE 3)
‹ 1.4.1 AC VOLTMETER
This meter indicates the generator AC output voltage.
(Also see “Line-phase Selector Switch” and “Voltage
Adjust Potentiometer” in this section.) To determine
the nominal rated AC voltage of your unit, refer to
your unit’s data plate.
NOTE:
Some generators are reconnectable to a variety of
voltages. Some units may be equipped with a
rotary “Voltage Selector Switch.” Be sure to read
the “Generator AC Lead Connections” section in
your Owner’s Manual.
‹ 1.4.2 AC AMMETER
This meter indicates the current draw of connected
electrical loads, in amps. Also, see “Line-phase
Selector Switch.” For continuous operation, never
exceed the rated maximum continuous current
capacity of your generator.
‹ 1.4.3 FREQUENCY METER
This meter indicates the generator’s AC output fre-
quency in “Hertz” (cycles per second).
‹ 1.4.4 LINE-PHASE SELECTOR SWITCH
This four-position switch permits you to select either
line-to-line or line-to-neutral readings on the panel volt-
meter and ammeter. Switch positions are as follows:
Switch Single-phase Units Three-phase units
1 Line E1 to Neutral Line E1 to E2
2 Line E3 to Neutral Line E2 to E3
3 Line E1 to E3 Line E3 to E1
O No Reading No Reading
‹ 1.4.5 VOLTAGE ADJUST POTENTIOMETER
This potentiometer permits the operator to “fine-
adjust” the generator’s AC output voltage. Adjustment
range is plus or minus 5 percent from the midpoint.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase voltage, counter-
clockwise to decrease voltage.
‹ 1.4.6 COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
Normal operating temperature should read between
185° to 215°F (85° to 102°C). If coolant temperature
exceeds a safe level, the engine shuts down automat-
ically.
NOTE:
Actual coolant temperature reading may vary due
to variables, such as, ambient temperature,
applied load, or cooling system condition.
 Section 1 — General Information
“C” Option Control Panel with Sealed Connectors
Figure 1.1 – “C” Option Panel Components
◆ 1.4.7 OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
This gauge indicates oil pressure during operation.
After warm-up, oil pressure should be about 25-90
psi. Generac recommends that the operator record
the normal oil pressure during initial startup.
Sudden changes in oil pressure after first starting
indicate a possible engine problem.
NOTE:
Engine oil pressure may vary, depending on oil
viscosity, oil temperature, engine speed, ambient
temperature, etc. The engine automatically shuts
down if oil pressure drops below a safe level.
(10 psi.)
◆ 1.4.8 DC AMMETER
The engine is equipped with a belt-driven DC alter-
nator, which charges the battery while the unit is run-
ning. This ammeter indicates the rate of charge to the
battery during operation. If the needle drops to the
left of zero, battery is discharging. Investigate and
correct this problem immediately. Erratic movement
of the needle should also be corrected immediately.
◆ 1.4.9 HOURMETER
The hourmeter provides a continuous indication of
engine/generator operating time, in hours and tenths
of hours. Use the hourmeter with the periodic main-
tenance schedule (See “Maintenance” section).
◆ 1.4.10 START/STOP SWITCH
Use this switch to crank and start the engine manu-
ally, or to shut down an operating engine.
• To crank and start engine, first set the
Auto/Off/Manual switch to its “Manual” position.
• Hold the Start/Stop switch at “Start.” When the
engine starts, release the switch to its center (run)
position.
• To shut engine down, set the switch to its “Stop”
position.
◆ 1.4.11 AUTO/OFF/MANUAL SWITCH
This safety switch should be used to prevent auto-
matic startup of the engine when working on the
engine/generator. Use the switch as follows:
Auto Position
▼
Always set switch to AUTO for automatic system
operation. This means that, when this generator is
installed with a GTS-type automatic transfer switch,
the generator automatically cranks and starts when
the utility source voltage drops below a preset level,
or the unit exercises if programmed to do so.
Off Position
▼
The engine cannot be started either automatically or
manually. Always set switch to OFF before working
on, or around, the engine-generator.
Generac® Power Systems, Inc. 3
 Section 1 — General Information
“C” Option Control Panel with Sealed Connectors
Manual Position
▼
The engine can be cranked and started manually
using the panel Start/Stop switch. The engine will not
start automatically.
NOTE:
Also see “Engine Monitor Panel.” With switch set
to either OFF or MANUAL, a “Not in Automatic
Start Mode” lamp lights up on the panel.
◆ 1.4.12 PREHEAT SWITCH
This switch is installed on diesel units only. When
performing a manual start, this switch may be
pressed for up to 30 seconds (before and during
cranking) to preheat intake air for smoother, cleaner
start-ups. This is important when the engine is cold.
◆ 1.4.13 PANEL FUSE
This fuse protects the control console’s DC circuits
against overload. If the fuse element melts open due
to an overload, engine cranking and startup will not
be possible. Should fuse replacement become neces-
sary, use only an identical 15 amp fuse.
1.5 ENGINE MONITOR PANEL
This panel has five advisory shutdown lamps for sep-
arate engine fault conditions, plus a “Not in
Automatic Start Mode” lamp. Cranking and starting
will not be possible while any one, or more, of engine
fault conditions lamps is lit, with the exception of
“Not in Auto” illuminated in the manual mode. The
following apply:
• A “lamp ON” condition indicates that fault condi-
tion has been “latched” by DC control/latch-crank
circuit board.
• If any one of the lamps is ON (fault condition
latched), the engine cannot be cranked either man-
ually or automatically.
• To unlatch a fault (that is, to turn a lamp OFF) and
permit cranking, push the Test/Reset switch in.
Lamp goes OFF, allowing for additional cranking.
◆ 1.5.1 NOT IN AUTOMATIC START MODE LAMP
This lamp comes ON to indicate that automatic start-
up of the engine is not possible. The lamp lights up
whenever the Auto/Off/Manual switch is set to OFF or
MANUAL.
◆ 1.5.2 OVERCRANK LAMP
The control console houses a DC control/latch-crank
circuit board that controls engine startup and shut-
down. During automatic startup, the engine cranks
for about five seconds, rests for about five seconds,
and so on, until eight of the crank-rest cycles have
occurred. At the end of eight attempts, cranking
stops, and the overcrank lamp goes ON.
4 Generac® Power Systems, Inc.
◆ 1.5.3 HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE LAMP
This lamp comes ON if coolant temperature is too
high or coolant level is too low. The engine shuts
down automatically when such unsafe conditions
occur. The following apply:
• If the engine is started with an existing high coolant
temperature or low coolant level condition, the
engine shuts down, and lamp comes ON when
engine speed reaches about 1000 rpm.
• If the engine starts normally but high tempera-
ture/low coolant level develops later, the engine
shuts down, and light comes ON immediately.
◆ 1.5.4 OVERSPEED LAMP
An engine overspeed above a safe limit causes the
engine to automatically shut down, which turns ON
the indicator lamp. The overspeed lamp comes on
when the unit is run at a 15% faster rpm than rated.
◆ 1.5.5 LOW OIL PRESSURE LAMP
This lamp lights up (latches) to indicate low oil pres-
sure in the engine as follows:
• During cranking, after engine has reached 800 to
1000 rpm, the circuit allows four seconds for oil
pressure to build.
• In auto mode, if the unit runs above 800-1000 rpm
for more than four seconds, and oil pressure is
below a safe level, the engine shuts down, but the
lamp does NOT go ON. The system then actuates
eight restart attempts; the engine shuts down, and
the lamp goes ON.
• If the engine starts normally with good oil pres-
sure, but oil pressure drops later, the system waits
five seconds for oil pressure to be restored. If pres-
sure is still low after a five-second delay, the engine
shuts down, and the lamp goes ON immediately.
◆ 1.5.6 RPM SENSOR LOSS LAMP
Units with the “C” Option console are equipped with
an rpm sensor, which is mounted directly over the
engine flywheel gear teeth. This sensor is a magnetic
pickup that emits an electrical pulse at the passage of
each flywheel gear tooth. Sensor electrical signals are
used by the DC control/latch-crank circuit board as
engine speed (rpm) signals. The circuit board uses
these rpm signals (a) to establish a starter lockout
speed, and (b) to shut down the engine if the engine
runs too fast (overspeed). If the rpm signals to the
circuit board are lost, engine shutdown occurs, but
the lamp will not light, (i.e., the condition will not
latch), then, depending on whether the sensor signal
loss occurred during a manual or an automatic start
attempt, the following events occur:
 Section 1 — General Information
“C” Option Control Panel with Sealed Connectors

Manual Startup Figure 1.2 — Optional Annunciator Panel

▼

If the engine starts within two seconds after cranking

begins, shutdown occurs as soon as the Start/Stop
switch is released, but without a lamp ON condition LOW
FUEL

(latching does not occur). If engine does not start RUPTURE

BASIN

within two seconds after cranking begins, which dis- FILLING

ables starting, the rpm sensor loss light goes ON.

Automatic Startup
▼

The engine recranks within about one second after it

has stopped. If sensor loss persists, engine shuts
down, and lamp lights about two seconds after
cranking has restarted.
If engine starts within two seconds after recrank has
begun, the starter remains engaged until the two-sec-
ond delay is over.

◆ 1.5.7 TEST/RESET SWITCH

To test all lamps, push this switch in. Following any
fault shutdown with any monitor panel lamp illu-
mintaed, engine cranking is inhibited. To reset the
system (unlatch a fault) and crank the engine again,
push the switch in (lamp must go out). If the switch
is actuated with the engine running, only the lamps
will be tested. The engine will not shut down.
NOTE:
1.7 OPTIONAL REMOTE ANNUNCIATOR
An optional 18-light REMOTE annunciator panel you
can mount on a wall (Figure 1.3) is also available. For
information on the remote annunciator panels, ask
your dealer/distributor or consult the factory. Ask for
information on the Models 9555 and 9556 remote
annunciator panels. The following apply to the
remote annunciator panels:

If engine shuts down due to some unmonitored
problem (such as, out of fuel or failed ignition sys-
tem), none of the lamps will come ON. If such an
unmonitored shutdown occurs with the
Auto/Off/Manual switch set to AUTO, engine
recranks and attempts to start for any of the cycles
remaining in the eight-crank limit. After all eight
crank cycles have been used, the engine shuts
down, and the OVERCRANK lamp goes ON.
1.6 OPTIONAL ANNUNCIATOR PANEL
Some units may come equipped with a factory-
installed annunciator panel having one or two annun-
ciated fault conditions displayed. This panel, used on
diesel units equipped with a base tank, will indicate
a low fuel condition and, if so equipped, a ruptured
basin condition on a double-walled tank.
• It is designed for use with installation having a
Generac Power Systems GTS-type transfer switch
and a “C” Option control panel.
• The panel is available in both flush-mounted
(Model 9556) and surface-mounted (Model 9555)
configurations.
• The panel has a built-in audible alarm horn, with a
reset switch to turn off the horn without disturbing
the lighted indication.
• Remote monitoring of the standby generator set
provides enough information to avoid unnecessary
maintenance trips to the generator site.

“C” Option Control Panel with Sealed Connectors
1.8 STANDARD ALARM RELAY
The generator’s DC control/latch-crank circuit board
is equipped with an alarm relay “driver”. All units
with “C” Option control panels are equipped with an
alarm relay that is connected to the circuit board
driver (Figure 1.4). If any one or more of the five
annunciated shutdown faults occur, the circuit board
driver energizes the optional alarm relay.
A remote-mounted alarm or annunciator device may
be connected across the relay contacts so that a fail-
ure will turn on the remote alarm or device. The con-
nected alarm device may range from an alarm horn
to a warning light to a telephone dialer with a pre-
recorded message. The alarm relay normally-open,
normally-closed, and common contacts are shown in
Figure 1.4.

installer must complete the following:
• Properly locate and properly mount the generator,
transfer switch, and other standby system compo-
nents, in strict compliance with applicable codes,
standards, and regulations.
• Make sure the fuel supply system to the generator
(a) delivers the correct fuel at the correct pressure,
and (b) is properly purged and leak-tested accord-
ing to code. No fuel leakage is permitted.
6 Generac® Power Systems, Inc.
• Have the engine crankcase properly filled to the
correct level with the recommended oil.
• Have engine cooling system properly filled with rec-
ommended coolant mixture. Check the system for
leaks and other problems.

• Check engine v-belt tension and belt condition.
• Make sure the generator is properly connected to
an approved earth ground.
• The generator battery must be fully charged, prop-
erly installed and interconnected, and ready for
use.
◆ 1.9.2 STARTUP INSPECTION
A standard, three-part form entitled “Startup
Inspection for Standby Power Systems” (Part No.
67377) should be completed by the installation tech-
nician or engineer. As stated on the form, inspections
are to be performed only by factory-trained person-
nel. The installer should complete the form and dis-
tribute copies as follows:
• White copy: Mail to Generac Service Department,
P.O. Box 310, Eagle, WI 53119.
• Pink copy: For service file of installing dealer.
• Yellow copy: For the customer’s records.
OPERATING UNIT WITH MANUALLY
OPERATED TRANSFER SWITCH
If your generator was installed with a transfer switch
capable of manual operation only, the following
applies. A manually-operated transfer switch is one
that will not provide automatic startup and does not
include the intelligence circuit.
2.2 OPERATING UNIT WITH
AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
If your generator has been installed with a Generac
“GTS”-type automatic transfer switch, the engine may
be started and stopped either automatically or man-
ually.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE TO READ THE APPLICA-
BLE AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH MANUAL
CAREFULLY. DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN
TRANSFER SWITCHES.
◆ 2.2.1 MANUAL STARTUP AND TRANSFER
To crank and start the engine and to transfer electri-
cal loads to the STANDBY power source, proceed as
follows:
• See applicable transfer switch instructions. If so
equipped, set the Safety Disconnect Switch to
MANUAL.

“C” Option Control Panel with Sealed Connectors
• On the generator’s Meter and Control Panel, set the
Auto/Off/Manual switch to MANUAL.
DANGER
The safety disconnect switch and the
! Auto/Off/Manual switches must be set as
instructed above, or the generator will crank
and start as soon as the utility power to the
transfer switch is turned OFF.
• Turn OFF both the NORMAL (utility) and EMER-
GENCY (standby) power supplies to the transfer
switch, using whatever means is provided (such
as, the main-line circuit breakers).
DANGER
DO NOT attempt manual operation until all
power voltage supplies to the transfer switch
have been positively turned OFF; otherwise,
extremely dangerous---possibly lethal--- elec-
trical shock will result.
• Refer to the instructions that correspond to the
installed transfer switch. Manually actuate the
switch main contacts to their STANDBY (emer-
gency) position, as outlined in the corresponding
manual. LOAD circuit must be connected to the
STANDBY power supply before proceeding.
• On the generator console, hold the Start/Stop
switch START to crank the engine. Hold it until it
begins running, then release the switch to its cen-
tered (RUN) position.
• Let the engine warm up and stabilize at no-load.
• Turn ON the STANDBY power supply to the trans-
fer switch, using whatever means provided (such
as, STANDBY source main-line circuit breaker).
• The generator now powers the load circuits.
◆ 2.2.2 MANUAL RETRANSFER AND ENGINE
SHUTDOWN
To retransfer LOAD circuits back to the NORMAL
(utility) power source and to stop the engine, proceed
as follows:
• Turn OFF both the UTILITY and STANDBY power
supplies to the transfer switch, using whatever
means provided, i.e., the power source main-line
circuit breakers.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt manual operation until all
power voltage supplies to the transfer switch
have been positively turned OFF; otherwise,
extremely dangerous---possibly lethal---elec-
trical shock will result.
Section 2 — Operation
• Refer to the applicable transfer switch instruc-
tions. Manually actuate the transfer switch main
contacts to their utility position (LOAD connected
to UTILITY power supply).
• Turn ON the UTILITY power supply to the transfer
switch, using whatever means are provided (such
as, the UTILITY main-line circuit breakers).
• Check that the UTILITY voltage is available to the
transfer switch (see appropriate transfer switch
instructions).
• Let the generator engine run at no-load for a few
minutes. Then, set the generator Start/Stop switch
to STOP. Wait for the engine to come to a complete
stop.
• Reset the system for fully automatic operation.
◆ 2.2.3 PREVENTING AUTOMATIC STARTUP
DANGER
When installed with an automatic transfer
! switch, Generac standby generators can crank
and start suddenly, without warning, when
UTILITY source voltage drops below a preset
value. To prevent possible injuries caused by
such sudden starts, disable the automatic
transfer switch before working on, or around,
the generator. Use any one, or more, of the fol-
lowing methods to disable the automatic start
function:
• Set the generator’s Auto/Off/Manual switch to OFF.
Neither a manual nor an automatic start can be
accomplished with this switch set to OFF.
• Remove the fuse from the generator control panel.
To remove the fuse, push fuse holder cap in and
turn cap counterclockwise. Remove cap and fuse
element.
• Refer to the automatic transfer switch instructions.
If the transfer switch is so equipped, set its Safety
Disconnect switch to MANUAL position to prevent
automatic startup and transfer.
• Disconnect battery cable from generator battery
post, indicated by a negative, NEG, or (-).
