Part No. 10000000194-F 5/3/17 Smart Management Modules (SMM) GENERAC° GENERAP ACCESSORIES Model (3006873.0 �--c@us LISTED ®Eotgrall Nu 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 sell - 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 and It it falls below a certain threshold, the module will automatically follow a power management algorithm to ensure that the generator is not overloaded. The modules can be set to a load priority between 1-8 or be set in a lock out only mode for loads that just Simply do not need to run in an outage, therefore reducing the necessary size of the generator for a more cost effective solution.

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 3-1 and the installation drawing within the owner's manual for details. it + Automatic start-up. Disconnect utility power and render unit inoperable before working on unit. Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury. (000191) Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide, if not avoided, will result in death or serious Injury. (000103) NOTE: if the generator is not set to OFF, it can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected. If the Utility power supply is not turned off, sparking can occur at the battery posts and cause an explosion. Site Preparation • Locate the mounting area as close as possible to the transfer switch and fuel supply. • Leave adequate room around the area for service access (check local code), and place high enough to keep rising water from reaching the generator. Choose an open space that will provide adequate and unobstructed airflow. Place the unit so air vents won't become clogged with leaves, grass, snow, or debris. Verify that exhaust fumes will not enter any building through eaves, windows, ventilation fans, or other air intakes (see Site Seiecfjorr). Select the type of base, such as —but not limited to —compacted soil, gravel, or concrete, as desired or as required by local laws or codes. Verify your local requirements before selecting. Material Sufficient for Level Installation Prepare a rectangular area approximately 5 in (127 mm) deep (A) and approximately 6 in (152 mm) longer and wider (B) than the footprint of the generator. Verify that the surface where the generator will be mounted is compacted, leveled, and will not erode over time. A concrete pad can be poured if desired or required. 0 n Figure 3-3.
