The modules monitor the frequency (Hz) of the power being produced by Qenerac's standby generators and If It falls below a certain threshold, the module will automalloally foilowa 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 Sol in a lock out only mode for loads that just simply do not need to run In an oolage, therefol'e reducing the necessary size of the generator for a more cost ellective solution. $�V9N SPECIFICATIO-NS - fowerSuppliy y Source ........................................ ..............................
