LISTED
Generac's Smart Power Management System is designed to optimize the performance of a standby generator. The system can consist of up to 8 individual
Smart Management Modules (SMM). Unlike other load management systems that depend on another control device, the SMM modules are actually self -aware
and operate autonomously.
Frequency is the true measure of generator engine performance and does not need to factor in increased ambient temperatures, elevation changes or generator fuel
type. The modules monitor the frequency(Hz) of the power being produced by Generac's standby generators. If frequency falls below a certain threshold, the
module will automatically follow a power management algorithm to reduce the chance of a generator overload condition.
The modules can be set to a load priority between 1-8, or be set in a lock -out only mode for loads that lust simply do not need to run in an outage. This reduces
the minimum size of the generator for a more cost-effective solution.

'Y Installation Guidelines for 60 HzAir-Cooled Generators
Site Selection and Preparation
Fire Prevention
The generator must be installed at a safe distance away
from combustible matertais. Engine, alternator, and
exhaust system components become very hot during
operation. Fire risk increases if unit is not correctly
ventilated, is not correctly maintained, operates too close
to combustible materiais, or if fuel leaks exist. Also,
accumulations of flammable debris within or outside the
generator enclosure may ignite.
Distance Requirements
See Figure 3-2. Minimum clearances must be
maintained around the generator enclosure. These
clearances are primarily for fire prevention, but also to
ensure sufficient room for removing front and end panels
for maintenance purposes.

Installation Guidelines for 60 HzAir-Cooled Generators 15
Site Selection and Preparation
Fire Codes, Standards, and Guidelines
Generator installation must comply strictly with ICC
IFGC, NFPA 37, NFPA 54, NFPA 58, and NFPA 70
standards. These standards prescribe the minimum safe
clearances around and above the generator enclosure.
NFPA 37
NFPA 37 is the The National Fire Protection
Association's standard for the installation and use of
stationary combustion engines. Its requirements limit the
spacing of an enclosed generator set from a structure or
wall, and require generator to be located where it is
readily accessible for maintenance, repair, and first
responders.
NFPA 37, Section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors:
Engines, and their weatherproof housings if provided,
installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 It (1.52 m)
from openings in walls and at least 5 It (1.52 m) from
structures having combustible walls. A minimum
separation shall not be required where the following
conditions exist:
1. The adjacent wall of the structure has.a fire resis-
tance rating of at least one hour.
2. The weatherproof enclosure is constructed of non-
combustible materials and it has been demon-
strated that a fire within the enclosure will not ignite
combustible materials outside the enclosure.
Annex A —Explanatory Material
A4.1.4 (2) Means of demonstrating compliance are by
means of full scale fire test or by calculation procedures.
Because of the limited spaces frequently available for
installation, it has become apparent that exception (2)
would be beneficial for many residential and commercial
installations. The manufacturer contracted with an
independent testing laboratory to run full scale fire tests.
NOTE: The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is a
nationally recognized third party testing and listing
agency. SwRI testing approves 18 In (457 mm) installa-
tion minimum from the rear panel of the generator to an
adjacent structure for fire protection.
The criteria was to determine the worst case fire scenario
within the generator and to determine the ignitability of
items outside the engine enclosure at various distances.
The enclosure is constructed of non-combustible
materials, and the results and conclusions from the
independent testing lab indicated that any fire within the
generator enclosure would not pose any ignition risk to
nearby combustibles or structures, with or without fire
service personnel response.

Based on this testing and the requirements of NFPA 37,
Sec 4.1.4, the guidelines for installation of the generators
listed above are changed to 18 in (457 mm) from the
back side of the generator to a stationary wall or building
For adequate maintenance and airflow clearance, the
area above the generator should be at least 5 ft (1.52 m)
with a minimum of•3 ft (0.91 m) at the front and ends of
the enclosure. This includes trees, shrubs, and bushes.
Vegetation not in compliance with these clearance
parameters could obstruct air flow. In addition, exhaust
fumes from the generator could inhibit:plant growth. See
Figure 3-2 and the accompanying descriptions.
Generator Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for minimizing exhaust
Omissions and reducing the risk of fire or equipment
failure. For example:
C A dirty air filter or low engine oil level may cause
engine to overheat.
• Incorrect spark plug gaps may cause engine back-
firing and -incomplete combustion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: See Maintenance section of
generator owner's manual to view a table of
scheduled maintenance tasks and procedures.
Perform all maintenance tasks as directed.

Installation Guidelines for 60 Hz Air-Cnnwi Aonre+ r.
Fresh Air for Ventilation and Cooling
Install unit where air inlet and outlet openings will not
become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If
prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider
using'a windbreak at a safe distance to protect the unit.
Water Ingress Avoidance
G Select a location on high ground where water lev-
els will not rise and flood the generator. This unit
should not operate in, or be subjected to, standing
water.
Install', unit where rain gutter downspouts, roof run-
off, landscape irrigation, water sprinklers, or sump
pump discharge does not flood unit or spray enclo-
