The system can consist of up to 8 individual Smart Management Modules (SMM). unlike other lead 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, generator fuel type. The modules monitor the frequency (Hz) of the power being produced by Generac's standby generators and If it falls below a Certain threshold, the module will automatically folloW a polder management algorithm to ensure that the generator Is not overloaded.

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 MfnimuM diftess 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 a minimum of 1S in (467 mm). Clearance at the top should be a minimum of 5 ft (1.52 m) from any structure, overhang, or projections from the wall. DO NOT install under wooden decks or structures unless there Is at least 5 ft (1.52 rn) of clearance above the generator. ° lnstatl the unit where rain gutter down spouts, roof n-ofF, landscape irrigation, water sprinklers, or sump pump discharge does not flood the unit or ray the enclosure, including any air inlet or outlet nl laninne ° 1 n stall the unit where services will not be affected 0 obstructed, including concealed, underground, o.' covered services such as electrical, fuel, phone, a{r conditioning, or irrigation.

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 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 (FJ1 yyr �'St- !), NFPA 37, Section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors: Engines, and their ftath8rproof housings if provided, that are installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 ft (1.52 m) from openings in walls and at least:5 ft (1.52 m) from structures having combustible walls. A minimum separation shall not be required where the following conditions exist: " The adjacent wall of the structure has a fire resistance rating of at least one hour. 2, The The 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 A4.1.4 (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. MOTE: Southwest Research Institute testing approves 18 In (457 mm) installation minimum from structure (Fkali'e 34, C). Southwest Research Institute Is a nationally recognized third party testing and listing agency. 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 €iepe111tisnt testing lab indicated that any fire within the 12 Installation Guidelines For 60 HzAir•Cooled dsnerators generator enclosure would not pose any ignition risk to nearby combustibles or structures, with or without fire service personnel response. $A a fda 2,W4*- M,`'t4`� LtStH� 8Y- Sattlmeat Rom, inetr"tute San Amp, Te�,9 WDM 1 lac CHAR , ' fiat$ 2 0 CHAR uR= WE 3 0 Oft W M 4 0 CHAR NME a 00 R o WM a = CHAR u4 — Waif 7 tau CHAR �d„ ^�� mmo F01YER sYsi m nX Figure 3-2 Southwest Research Institute iWariung ^•~� � : ✓.

Site Selection and Preparation Sits PrLmparaffon ° Locate the mounting area as close es 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 S'f.a ,.0. -=). ° 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 B In (152 mm) longer and wider A 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. Figure 3-3.
