<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes, fixed with a simple relay tagged to a new zone
on the panel. The issue was to detect the momentary loss of AC to the
panel until the generator kicks in. I used to use the loss of AC to the
panel in the OmniPro (which was instaneous), then after about 4 seconds or so,
the detection of AC to the panel from the generator (with a line in the
programming detecting loss of AC elsewhere in the house not tagged to the
generator) as an output and zone to alarm notification that the generator was
on. Anyways, as you say, simple fix with a relay.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Another issue: The stand-by generator causes
fluttering of lights controlled by HAI dimmers on UPB. Other lights don't
flicker. I think the issue is the generator has some variability in the
60Hz range...so when I measure it, it can range from 60.5 to 59.6Hz while the
power from the street is 60Hz right on the mark. Guess I could fix with a
whole house UPS that has tight Hz control.........Anyone else know of any easy
fixes?</FONT></DIV>

need a solenoid. How about a cheap wall wart power supply.
Put the output onto one of the inputs. Sorry, I don’t remember the
voltages required/allowed but they should be in the specs. A small DC
power supply should work fine I think. If not, then a cheap relay
attached to one would do it.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
