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 just simply do not need to run in an outage. This reduces the minimum size of the generator for a more cost-effective solution. SMM SPEGIFICATIONS -�_"� Power Supply Source ........................................

It is important to discuss these factors with the installer when selecting a site for generator installation. - Carbon monoxide Fire prevention Fresh air for ventilation and cooling • Water ingress prevention • Proximity to utilities Q Suitable mounting surface The following pages describe each of these factors in detail. NOTE: The term "structure" is used throughout this sec- tion to describe the home or building where generator is being installed. illustrations depict a typical residential home. However, instructions and recommendations pre- sented In this section apply to all structures regardless of type. CarbOn M®n®}dde t z Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas'. Carbon monoxide, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. (000103) IMPORTANT 00TE: Move to fresh air immediately and seek medical attention if yoga feel sick, dizzy, or wear while ith6 generator is running or after it stoles. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO) —a poisonous, potentially lethal gas. that cannot be seen or smelled. The generator must be installed in a well ventilated area away from windows, doors, and openings. The selected location should not allow exhaust gases to be drawn into structures where people or animals may be present. Carlton Monoxide Detectors See Figure 3-1: CO detectors- (K) must be used to monitor for CO and to warn individuals about the presence of CO. CO detectors should be installed and tested in accordance with the CO detector manufacturer's instructions and warnings. Contact local building inspection department for any applicable requirements concerning CO detectors. IMPORTANT NOTE: Common smoke alarms do NOT detect CO gas. Do not rely on smoke alarms to Protect residents: or animals from CO. The only way to detect CO is to -have functioning CO alarms. Site Selection and Preparation Potential CO Entry Points See Figure 3-1. Generator exhaust can enter a structure through large openings, such as windows and doors. However, exhaust and CO can also seep into the structure through smaller, less obvious openings. ne Entry Point Windows and doors B Garage door C Attic vent D • Basement windows E Furnace intake / exhaust vent F Wall cracks G : I I Dryer vent H I I Airflow restrictions Protect the Structure Verify structure itself is correctly caulked and sealed to prevent air from leaking in or out.

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 materials, or if fuel leaks exist. Also, accumulations of flammable debris within or outside the generator enclosure may ignite. Description A IFront and end clearance Site Selection and Preparation 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. Figure 3-2. Generator Distance Requirements 008782 Definition Minimum clearance from the front and ends of generator must be 3 ft (0.91 m). This includes shrubs, bushes, and trees. B Rear clearance Fuel and electrical connections are made here. 18 in (457 mm) minimum clearance per NFPA, testing, labeling, and listing, unless state or local codes dictate otherwise. Windows, vents, No operable windows, doors, vents, window wells, or openings In the wall are permitted near any and openings point of the generator. See Potentlal CO Entrypoints for more information. D Existing wall The generator should not be placed closer than 18 in (457 mm) from existing walls. E Removable fence A removable barrier (non -permanent; without footings). installed as a visual surround. Removable fence panels for servicing cannot be placed less than 3 ft (0.91 m) in front of the generator. Overhead clearance 5 ft (1.52 m) minimum distance from any structure, overhang, or projections from wall. DO NOT install under wooden decks or structures.

Do not attempt to conceal generator with shrubs, bushes, or plants. Site Selection and Preparation tion The c; within' items' The nearby - service `ire Codes, Standards; and Guideiinei 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. lRrPA 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 vFPA 37, Section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors: ngines, and their weatherproof housings if provided, istailed outdoors shall be located at least 5 ft (1.52 m) om openings in walls and at least 5 ft (1.52 m) from `ructures having combustible walls. A minimum :paration shall not be required where the following rnditions exist: 1. The adjacent wall of the structure has a fire resis- tance rating of at least one hour. �. 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. .

Southwest Research Institute iWar!-sing h*.,Ilwww2.smt gr,alw nnw2liisfprodI DocumentSeiecti0n.asp?ProductiD=973&indust, ylD=2 Based on this testing and the requirements of NFPA 37, Sec 4.1.44, 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 buildilig 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 emissions and reducing the risk of fire or equipment failure. For. example: 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 MOTE: OL- maintenance section of generator owner's manual to view a table of scheduled maintenance tasks and procedures. Perform all maintenaned tasks as directed. Site Selection and Preparation Fresh Qirr fir Ventilation and C oofl g 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 o 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- sure, including any air inlet or outlet openings. Excess moisture can cause excess corrosion and decrease life expectancy of the unit. Proximity to utilities Contact local utility providers and verify proposed site selection meets all required utility placement requirements before installation. This could affect warranty coverage. Remember, laws and or codes may regulate dis- tance and location of unit to specific utilities. It is recommended to pick a location where the generator is as close as possible to the transfer switch and the fuel supply, while verifying the site location conforms to the rest of the Site Selection section. Verify Wj-Fi mange See Wi-Fi manual shipped with the unit if planning to use the WI-Fi feature. Transportation Recommendations Use a suitable cart or equipment to carry generator, including wooden pallet, to installation site. Place cardboard between cart and generator to prevent any iamage or scratches to generator. 30 not lift, carry, or move generator by grasping the Duvers. Doing so may. bend or damage the sheet -- 9 Suitable Mounting Surface See Figar a 3-4. Prepare a rectangular area approximately 5 in (127 min) deep (A) and approximately 3 in (76.2 min) longer and wider (B) than the generator on all sides. �l It If­ 1 Figure 34i C®rrtpacted Gravel or Coracrefe Pad Select base type as desired or as required by local laws or codes. The generator is typically placed on pea gravel, crushed stone, or a concrete pad. Follow all applicable codes if a concrete pad is required. Verify surface where generator will be mounted is compacted, leveled, and will not erode over time. Generator must be level within 0.5 in (13 mm) all around. Placement an Rooft, Platforms and Other SupOo rting Structures Where required to place generator on a roof, platform, deck, or other supporting structure, generator must be placed in accordance with the requirements in -NFPA 37, Section 4.1.3. Generator can be located 18 in (457 mm) from structures having combustible walls and 5 ft (1.52 m) from any operable opening in the structure. Surface beneath the generator and beyond must be noncombustible to; a minimum distance of 12 in (30.5 cm). Contact local Building Inspection Department or fire department to determine which noncombustible materials are approved for installation.
