Features and Benefits:
Engine
Generac G-Force 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.
“Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
Electronic ignition/spark advance: These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time
Full pressure lubrication system: Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance,
less maintenance, and longer engine life. Now featuring up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
Low oil pressure shutdown system: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
EPA Certified for non-emergency applications: Allows unit to be used for demand response applications.
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 ±1% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
UL 2200 listed: For your safety.
Transfer Switch (if applicable)
Fully automatic: Transfers vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
NEMA 3R: Can be installed inside or outside for maximum flexibility.
Remote mounting: Mounts near existing distribution panel for simple, low cost installation.
Evaluation Controls
AUTO/MANUAL/OFF illuminated buttons: Select the operating mode and provide easy, at-a-glance status indication in any condition.
Two-line multilingual LCD: Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance, and events up to 50 occurrences.
Sealed, raised buttons: Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
Utility voltage sensing: Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
Generator voltage sensing: Constantly monitors generator voltage to verify the cleanest power is delivered to the home.
Utility interrupt delay: Prevents nuisance startups of the engine, adjustable 2–1500 seconds from
the factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
Engine warm-up: Verifies engine is ready to assume the load. Setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
Engine cool-down: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown. Setpoint approximately 1 minute.
Programmable exercise: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages
by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week. Offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation,
providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
Smart battery charger: Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature.
Compatible with lead acid and AGM-style batteries.
Main line circuit breaker: Protects generator from overload.
Electronic governor: Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency
Unit
SAE weather protective enclosure: Sound attenuated enclosures ensure quiet operation and protection against mother nature,
withstanding winds up to 150 mph (241 km/h). Hinged key locking roof panel for security. Lift-out front for easy access
to all routine maintenance items. Electrostatically applied textured epoxy paint for added durability.
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.
Integral sediment trap: Meets IFGC and NFPA 54 installation requirements
Connectivity
Ability to view generator status: Monitor your generator with a smartphone, tablet, or computer at any time via
the Mobile Link application for complete peace of mind.
Ability to view generator Exercise/Run and Total Hours: Review the generator’s complete
protection profile for exercise hours and total hours.
Ability to view generator maintenance information: Provides maintenance information for your
specific model generator when scheduled maintenance is due.
Monthly report with previous month’s activity: Detailed monthly reports provide historical generator information.
Ability to view generator battery information: Built in battery diagnostics displaying current state of the battery.
Weather information: Provides detailed local ambient weather conditions for generator location.
