My 7500 Onan starts fine but will not transfer power from the gen.I have the Smart Energy Management System 900. None of the lights on the display comes on although they do come on when hooked to shore power.. Any ideas on where to check first?? Thanks

Turn off and back on the two breakers on the generator itself.

Next place would be the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch).

Brett is right
sounds like NO output from the generator start the breakers then check the ATS (automatic transfer switch)


Options, always have options, and the journey goes much smoother

Just had the same problem, ended up replacing the ATS at the local Cummins Dealer $500.00 plus time. No charge for determining the problem by dealer.

On my EMS there is a button on the bottom of the panel that you press to manually select where power comes from (30 amp, genset and a third from what I recall). I thought there was a problem with the transfer switch but manually selected genset and all went well after that.

Yes mine has the button for selecting , but the whole panel is dark only when using the generator..
