Features and Benefits:

• Engine
  • Generac (OHV) design: Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings help the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption and resulting in longer engine life.
  • Cast iron cylinder walls: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
  • Low oil pressure shutdown system: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
  • High temperature shutdown: Prevents damage due to overheating.
• Generator
  • Revolving field: Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
  • Skewed stator: Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment.
  • Displaced phase excitation: Maximizes motor starting capability.
  • Automatic voltage regulation: Regulating output voltage to ±5% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
  • UL 2200 listed: For your safety.
• Transfer Switch

• Digital Controls
  • Multiple LED annunciation: Provides specific system information without having to open the generator enclosure.
  • AUTO/OFF/MANUAL buttons: Select the operating mode.
  • Utility voltage sensing: Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
  • Utility interrupt delay: Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
  • Engine warm-up: Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 6 seconds.
  • Engine cool-down: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
  • Cold Smart Start: If the ambient temperature is cold, allows the engine to warm up before load is applied.
  • Seven day exerciser: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages.
  • Smart battery charger: Maintains battery charge level to ensure starting.
  • Main line circuit breaker: Protects generator from overload.
  • Multiple protection features: Prevents additional damage from occurring within the generator if a fault condition arises.
• Unit
  • UL weather protective enclosure: Sound attenuated enclosure ensures quiet operation and protection against mother nature. Three panels are removable for easy service and maintenance access.
  • Enclosed critical grade muffler: Quiet, critical grade muffler is mounted inside the unit to prevent injuries.
  • Small, compact, attractive: Makes for an easy, eye appealing installation, as close as 18 in (457 mm) away from a structure.
• Installation System
  • 14 in (35.6 cm) flexible fuel line connector: Listed ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27 outdoor appliance connector for the required connection to the gas supply piping.
