• Generac Activation Code

Your automatic standby generator requires activation in order to operate automatically. In order to receive the full range of benefits of being a Generac owner.

I've spent 2 days with the Generac Activation team on this issue. Just installed a 20KW factory refurb. (Honeywell branded) 20KW unit. Model 7063R1 It came fully factory crated, with all of the factory warning stickers, manuals, and the big yellow label over the controller explaining the activation routine. Upon commissioning, the controller never went to the Activation routine, just the normal start-up wizard. Generator runs fine, works in Auto mode, and has no particular issues. It's obvious the factory never wiped the controller, which I actually appreciated as it told me the previous running time, etc.

So, I now want to get the unit registered for the limited warranty. As the controller never performed the activation routine, I called the activation phone number and explained the situation.

They did a search of the S/N and said it's still registered to the previous owner. The Generac rep gave me their email address and told me to send the Model, S/N, Location, and Owner information, and said I would receive my activation code as well as a Hard Reset procedure which would make the controller prompt for activation.

The procedure was to turn the generator breaker to OFF, disconnect the 12v battery, pull the 7.5A fuse, pull the T1 fuse in the T.S. Well, this procedure only resets some things, and forces the install wizard, but NOT the activation routine. The install manual actually states that the controller will never again ask for activation once it had been done, even if removing all power from the unit. I report all of this back to the Generac rep, who then says this is all they can do for me, I must now call in a Generac Dealer. I'd be interested in comments on this.

Generac’s Nexus™ Controller is the most comprehensive available. The dual line, tri-lingual LCD display allows for easy monitoring and management of generator functions. The Manual/Auto/Off switch is a three position rocker switch that determines how the generator starts and stops. The left “AUTO” position allows the Nexus Controller to automatically start and stop the generator if the utility voltage is disconnected or to exercise the generator weekly.

It is important to note that in this position, the generator may start at any time. Always set the switch to the center “OFF” position before working on the generator.

Selecting the center “OFF” position stops the generator if it is running after a one minute cool-down period. In this position, the generator will not start, even if the utility voltage is interrupted. Moving the switch to the right “MANUAL” position instructs the generator to start. Voltage and Power Sensing Utility voltage levels are continuously monitored by the controller. If the voltage level on the electric utility’s power lines drops by sixty percent or more, the controller identifies the condition as a power outage and initiates the generator start sequence, which begins with a nuisance delay―a period lasting ten to thirty seconds during which the generator does not start in case the power outage was only momentary. During generator operation, the controller continuously monitors and adjusts the output voltage to keep it within one percent of the operating level, even if power usage spikes for a brief moment such as when a heavy-duty motor starts. The Nexus Controller also monitors and regulates the frequency of the alternating current, in addition to the voltage level.

In North America, the standard alternating current is 60 cycles per second. The controller adjusts the generator engine speed to maintain a constant output of 60 hertz. Automatic Running When the generator starts, it takes a few seconds for engine speed to stabilize and for the generator to begin producing clean power that won’t damage electronic equipment or appliances. Once the generator starts, the controller waits for the engine to warm up and also stabilizes engine speed so the output is at 60 cycles per second before the generator begins supplying power. Once utility power is restored, the home is switched back to the utility supply which removes the load from from the generator. The controller keeps the engine running without a load for about one minute which allows the generator to cool down before it is shut off.

No engine should sit unused for long periods of time. Once per week, the controller starts the engine and runs it long enough to circulate oil and prevent damage to engine seals.

The exercise program runs once per week for twelve minutes. Other Nexus Controller Features The generator’s main circuit breaker is part of the Nexus Controller.

The breaker size is dependent on the output capability―a 17kW generator has a 65 amp breaker, for example. Incorporated within the controller is the smart battery charger, which monitors the battery used to start the generator. The smart charger prevents over charging and regulates the amount of current supplied to the battery. It also monitors the battery condition and can alert the homeowner in if the battery has failed or is about to failed.

Another Nexus function is automatic shutdown in the event high or low voltage levels, insufficient oil pressure, high engine speed or temperature, incorrect wiring or internal faults, certain external faults, low AC frequency and over cranking. The Nexus Controller also maintains a log of up to fifty events to allow the homeowner to monitor the generator status and state of readiness.
