Q: Why cant the Generac Nexus Advanced Wireless Remote In-Home Monitor be used to start and stop the generator remotely? It says in the manual it has this feature. Is this not true?

I have a 25kW Generac and maybe once a month I wanted to start the gen from my home, if I cant use this what can I use? My home is about 100 ft away.

by Joe Reynolds from Arizona on May 09, 2012

A: This unit only provided the capability to start and stop the unit to run the maintenance cycle.

These generators are automatic only and not designed for manual use which is why this cannot just start and stop the generator.

These generators have their own automatic weekly maintenance test.

There are no options for manual start and stop.

by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Could this be used as a remote on/off switch for the 5882 model in an off the grid situation. Any idea on battery life when the genrator would only be on 2-3 hours per day?
by Steve Maina from Wisconsin on June 16, 2011

A: No, the Generac Nexus Advanced Wireless Monitor (Model 5951) is strictly a monitor only and cannot be used to remote start a generator. Plus the Generac home standby generators are not designed for off grid applications.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: If I install two 20 KW units in adjoining properties, can I install two wireless monitors and have them not mix signals?
by David Albright from Ohio on May 06, 2011

A: These units have channels that can be changed. They normally change automatically if interference occurs but can be done manually. Information is listed on page 10 in the owners manual.

by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Does the Generac Nexus™ Advanced Wireless Monitor require installation. Can it be installed by a home owner? I have 20kw unit.
by Chuck Hogan from Pennsylvania on April 17, 2011

A: There is an installation process to install one of the Advanced Wireless Monitors. Generac and Electric Generators Direct recommend having a certified Generac dealer install the unit for you.

by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Is this wireless monitor compatible with the Generac CorePower series ?
by Tim from New York on March 01, 2011

A: The Generac Nexus™ Advanced Wireless Monitor is only compatible with the Guardian and EcoGen Series models with the internal Nexus™ Controller and cannot be connected to the CorePower model.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Will this unit work with the 25kW liquid cooled generator?
by Jon from Texas on February 08, 2011

A: The Advanced Wireless Monitor will work with Generac Air Cooled and Liquid Cooled standby models that have the Nexus controller.

There is a Harness Adapter required for 22 - 60kW Liquid Cooled models.

Q: Do you know what the range of the Generac 5951 wireless monitor is?
by Erik Rasmussen from Washington on January 26, 2011

A: Per Generac the wireless range on this monitor is 500 Feet.

Wireless Monitor Is Awesome

This accessory is well worth purchasing. This enables you to monitor and control all functions of your generator from the comfort of your home. It's the first thing I look at when I walk to the kitchen and pour my morning cup of Joe. Easy to install. Exceeded my expectations and well worth the investment.

Nexus Wireless Monitor

Ordered the Nexus wireless monitor from Electric Generators Direct,very pleased with the product and the service. This pretty little box really does ever thing that we hoped for, will start the generator (removes street power thru the transfer switch) or run at normal speed without affecting street power also can shut down the generator . Will check battery voltage, rpm's,log run time, plus a lot more . This is all done by wireless control from inside the house. Thank you again for offering this at a discounted price.

Advanced Wireless Monitor

Works very good, completely satified with this product. I am now able to control my generator from within my home, excellent product. As a future enhancement it would be nice to get a new version that can be accessed via the internet within my home or on a iphone

Generac 17KW

I got my unit installed about a week ago and was extremely satisfied with Electricgeneratorsdirect.com The pricing was cheaper than HomeDepot and I got my unit delivered in a matter of days. The trucking company was excellent and I have had nothing but excellent review on everything.

If I ever need to buy another generator again without any hesitation I will buy from electricgeneratorsdirect.com The service is great, I had a couple questions and I immediate answers got all my questions answers. The website also has lots of excellent advise and recommendation tips. I give you A++

My Generator Install

Ordered generator in July, took about 2 weeks to arrive do to payment with check saved the cost of the battery by paying with a check. I poured a concrete pad for the generator and installed the remote wireless controller.

The electrician could not start the install for 2 weeks due to completing a job and vacation. Transfer switch and wiring are completed,battery installed called for start up code all went well. Generator was checked out for proper operation,load shed worked properly electrical inspector came as we were finishing the operational check out.

Review of Generator

I ordered the QT02724ANAX 27 KW Generator from Generator Direct. I found the ordering process to be excellent, with as much expert advice as I could expect. The delivery time was more than reasonable, and their the truck was fitted with a power lift to make it easier to remove the 1000 lb crate.

However, the generator arrived without some important parts that should have been included, and should have been observed with any reasonable quality control system. First, it did not have a cover for the coolant overflow tank. I can't imagine any factory missing this!
