Mike,
I have seen an error message on our Aladdin display a couple of times, ‘Open Neutral’ and ‘Input Low Freq’. The messages were in red and as I recall, only displayed during the delay phase.
If the ATS doesn’t see AC power, the display should read ‘NO AC POWER PRESENT’, if the ATS has disconnected because it thinks that there is an error condition, I believe the display will read ‘NO AC POWER SELECTED’.
I realize that the shore and generator contactors are separate, but will the ATS connect on generator power? I think that both power sources share some of the surge protection circuitry.
