How to identify the error codes for a 165 group 3 controller?

• Both TRANSFER SWITCH position lights are flashing (this indicates an error condition).

• Count the number of times the Automatic Generator Exerciser light flashes (repeats after a pause). This number is the error code.

• Error codes:

2 light flashes - Generator failed to start.  See Problems 3 and 4.
3 light flashes - Generator failed after starting. See generator manual.
4 light flashes- Generator over frequency. See generator manual.
5 light flashes - Transfer Switch did not transfer the load to the generator. (Service required)
6 light flashes - Transfer Switch did not transfer the load to the utility. (Service required)
7 light flashes - Controller error (Service required)

• To clear the error code, press and release the Push to Test button.

NOTE: These lights will flash only when controller power is available from either of the two power sources.
