The system can consist of up to 8 Individual Management Modules (SMM). Unlike other load management systems that depend on another control device, the SMM modules are actually self - and operate autonomously. Y Is the true measure of generator engine performance and does not need to factor In Increased ambient temperatures, elevation changes or fuel type. The modules monitor the frequency (Hz) of the power being produced by Qenerac's standby generators and It It falls below a certain the module will automatically folloW a polder management algorithm to ensure that the generator is not overloaded. The �odules 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 reduping the necessary size of the generator for a more cost eflective solution. 89 IM SPECIFICATIONS — PowsSupply Saome... ...».»............................................ ......... .......... ».....................................................

Consider these factors: The installation of the generator must comply strictly with 1CC 1FGC, NFPA 37, NFPA 54, NFPA 58, and NFPA 70 standards. install the 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 to protect the unit. Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not rise and endanger it. This unit should not operate In or be subjected to standing water. Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for maintenance and servicing. This unit must be Installed In accordance with any local, state, or national codes for minimum distances from other structures. Clearance from the ends and front of the generator must be 3 ft (0.91 m). This includes shrubs, bushes, and trees, Clearance from the back of the generator must be at minimum of 18 In (457 mm). Clearance at the top should be a minimum of 5 ft (1.52 m) from any structure, overhang, or protections from the wall. DO NOT Install under wooden decks or structures unless there Is at least 5 ft (1.62 m) of clearance above the generator, Install the unit where rain gutter down spouts, roof run-off, landscape Irrigation, water sprinklers, or SUMP pump discharge does not flood the unit or spray the enclosure, Including any air inlet or outlet ° install the unit where services will. not be affected for obstructed, including concealed, underground, or covered services such as electrical, fuel, phone, air conditioning, or irrigation. This could affect inlarranty coverage, ere strong prevailing winds blow from one fiction, face the generator air inlet openings to Prevailing winds. all the generator as close as possible to the fuel oly to reduce the length of piping. REMEMBER ►T LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE rANCE AND LOCATION. In the absence of i codes regarding placement or clearance, we mmend following these guidelines: install the generator as close as possible to the transfer switch. REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE DISTANCE AND LOCATION. — The generator must be installed on a level sur- face. The generator must be level within a 0.5 In (13 mm) all around. — The generator is typically placed on pea gravel, compacted soil, crushed stone, or a concrete Pad. Check local codes to see what type is required. if a concrete pad is required, all appli- cable codes should be followed. Installation Guidelines for Stationary Air -Cooled Generators NFPA 37 is the The National Fire Protection Assoclatlon'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 NFPA 37, Section 4.1.4, Engines LoGatsd OUtd00rS: Engines, and their Weatherproof housings if provided, that are Installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 ft 0.52 m) from openings In walls and at least 5 ft (1.52 m) from structures having combustible wails. A minimum separation shall not be required where the following conditions exist. 1. The adjacent wail of the structure has afire resistance rating of at least one hour. 2. The weatherproof enclosure is constructed of noncombustible materials and It has been demonstrated that a fire within the enclosure will not Ignite combustible materials outside the enclosure. Annex A -- Explanatory Material A4.1 A (2) Means of demonstrating compliance are by means of full scale fire test or by calculation procedures. Because of the limited spaces that are frequently available for Installation, it has become apparent that exception (2) would be beneficial for many residential and commercial Installations. With that in mind, the manufacturer contracted with an independent testing laboratory to run full scale fire tests to assure that the enclosure will not ignite combustible materials outside the enclosure. NOTE: Southwest Research Institute testing approves 18 in (457 mm) Installation minimum from structure (•'=5=F1-o�:', C). Southwest Research institute is a nationally recognized third party testing and listing agency. The Qrlterla was to determine the worst Case fire scenario within the generator and to determine the Ign)tability, 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 12 I Installation Guidelines For 60 HzAlr-Cooled Generators 1 r Site Selection and Preparation generator enclosure would not pose any Ignition risk to nearby combustibles or structures, with or without fire service personnel response.

Southwest Research Institute Marlsirrg 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 (C). For adequate maintenance and eir`Iow 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 now. in addition, exhaust fumes from the generator could inhibit plant growth. See jT.- :"s �'4 and the installation drawing within the owner's manual for details. Automatic start-up. Disconnect utility power and render unit Inoperable before working on unit. Failure to do so will result In death or serious lnjury. (000191) Site Preparation ° Locate the mounting area as close as possible to the transfer switch and fuel supply. o Leave adequate room arourid 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 ° 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. gay ^-w1,y-at,un, mountng engines produce Figure 3►3 Compacted Sol1 or travel pad carbon monoxide, a c000rless, odorless, avoided, Will result in deatohnor serrious to u NOTE: If a concrete pad Is required, follow ail applicable (000103) federal, state, or local codes. OTL: If the generator is not set to OFF, It can crank and ;art as soon as the battery cables are connected. If the !Pity power supply Is not turned off, sparking can occur the battery posts and cause an explosion. .+rn�1G111 i= rut ov nz mr-umiea (jenerators- 93
