      Does BarnTalk monitor a backup generator?

      1. The BarnTalk Gateway can monitor a backup generator by connecting an error wire (or NC/NO) and a common wire to the gateway itself (left grommet). 

      2. Also, BarnTalk can monitor a backup generator by connecting one of the wireless dry contact sensors with the same wires to allow a trigger of when it kicks on or off.

      3. Review this article for how to wire your generator or other equipment to a Dry Contact or Wireless Dry Contact. 

      4. Here is a video on how to set the thresholds in our BarnTalk Mobile App:
