The generator can be stopped at any time by accessing the
user menu until the “Gen Start/Stop: Press (On/Off)” menu is
displayed. Press and hold the On/Off button until you hear a
beep from the RC/GS. Release the button after the beep
sounds.

Thermostat Start Enable and Disable (RC/GS Only)

The RC/GS can be configured to enable the RV Series
Inverter/Charger to start and stop the generator in response to
a signal from a thermostat. The RV Series Inverter/Charger
must have its Automatic Generator Start connections wired to
a thermostat. For more information, see the Installation
chapter in the RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual.

Enabling this setting allows the generator to automatically
power an air conditioner or heater after receiving a signal
from a thermostat. Each generator start and stop has a time
delay of 30 seconds after the RV Series Inverter/Charger
receives the thermostat signal.

Note:

Manually stopping the generator will set the Generator

Start selection to Manual (Push On), disabling any automatic start
settings. The generator will no longer automatically start after it is
manually stopped with the RC/GS.
