Generator Mode Detection

This page describes the health-state mapping for EnergyTrak Universal r5 Mode Detection and GMCM-A devices, which use generator mode detection.

Generator Health-State Mapping

The table below details how various states of your generator impact its overall health status. Rows are ordered top-to-bottom in reverse Health Color Priority — least severe first, most severe last.
