Section 1: Safety

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this home standby generator product accessory.
NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s)). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
this device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and
this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.

Antenna Statement

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
The information in this manual is accurate based on products produced at the time of publication. The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical updates, corrections, and product revisions at any time without notice.

Safety Rules

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The alerts in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit, are not all inclu­sive. If using a procedure, work method, or operating technique that the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, verify that it is safe for others and does not render the equipment unsafe.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit, DANGER, WARN­ING, CAUTION, and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Alert definitions are as follows:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
(000001)
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

General Safety

Consult Manual. Read and understand manual completely before using product. Failure to completely understand manual and product could result in death or serious injury.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The safety messages in this manual and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If using a proce­dure, work method or operating technique the manufacturer does not specifically recom­mend, verify it is safe for personnel. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.

General Information and Setup

Section 2: General Information and Setup

Introduction

This section of the manual describes the fea­tures and controls of the Mobile Link cellular remote monitoring system. Every effort was made to ensure that the information and instructions in this manual were both accurate and current at the time the manual was writ­ten. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter, or otherwise improve this product or manual at any time without prior notice.

Description

The Mobile Link cellular remote monitoring system allows generator status and operating information to be monitored from anywhere the owner has access to a cellular network. Verizon is the cellular network provider. The Mobile Link cellular unit is mounted on the out­side of the generator and communicates with the generator’s controller via a serial port.
After the generator is registered with
www.MobileLinkGen.com, owners can log
onto the website to check on the current sta­tus of the generator at any time. Registering the generator also enables the system to notify the owner of any change in operating status.
The owner will be contacted by e-mail, push notifications, or text messages if alarms or warnings occur. The delivery method and fre­quency of these alerts can be adjusted on the website.
NOTE: E-mail and text notifications can be managed through the website. Push notifica­tions are also available and can be managed through the use of the Mobile Link App. See
Mobile Link Cellular App for downloading
instructions.

Mobile Link Cellular Information Screen

See Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. Logging into the Mobile Link App launches an Information Screen. The Information Screen displays an overview of each generator being monitored by Mobile Link. A picture of the generator appears on screen against a color-coded background. Background color indicates at-a­glance operating status:
Green: Generator is ready to operate.
Blue: Generator is currently operating.
Yellow: Generator requires maintenance,
but is otherwise ready to operate.
Red: Generator has a functional problem
and requires immediate service, or genera­tor is set to OFF.
Gray: Generator not connected to Mobile
Link.
An instrument cluster (A) displays total gener­ator running time, time on backup power, time on exercise, battery voltage, and fuel level (diesel units only).

Website Information Screens

The Mobile Link cellular unit sends messages to alert the owner when scheduled mainte­nance is required on the generator. The gen­erator’s total run hours can be viewed, and a log of completed maintenance can be gener­ated.
Generator exercise time can also be checked and altered, if desired, through visiting
www.MobileLinkGen.com.
