Installation Guidelines For 60 Hz Air -Cooled Generators 11 Smart Management Modules (SMM) Model G007000-0 UPC 696471070002 C @ us LISTED FEATURES Generac's-SmartPowerManagement 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 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.

Part No. 10000029407 rev B (11114118) 'Site Selection and Preparation Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure, outdoors where adequate cooling and ventilating air is always available (Figure 3-1). Consider these factors: • The installation of the generator must comply strictly with ICC IFGC, NFPA 37, NFPA 54, NFPA 68, 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 It (0.91 m). This includes shrubs, bushes, and trees. Clearance from the back of the generator must be a 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 projections from the wall. • DO NOT install under wooden decks or structures unless there is at least 5 ft (1.52 m) of clearance above the generator. — 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 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 (Figure 3-1). NFPA 37, Section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors: Engines, and their weatherproof 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 It (1.52 m) from structures having combustible walls. A minimum separation shall not be required where the following conditions exist: 1. The adjacent wall of the structure has a fire 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. __ _ __ • Install the -unit where_rain_gufter_down_spouts, roof run-off, landscape irrigation, water sprinklers, or Annex A— Explanatory Material SUMP pump discharge does not flood the unit or spray the enclosure, including any air inlet or outlet openings. • Install the unit where services will not be affected or obstructed, including concealed, underground, or covered services such as electrical, fuel, phone, air conditioning, or irrigation. This could affect warranty coverage. • Where strong prevailing winds blow from one direction, face the generator air inlet openings to the prevailing winds. • Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel supply to reduce the length of piping. REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE DISTANCE AND LOCATION. In the absence of local codes regarding placement or clearance, we recommend 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. 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. NOTE: Southwest Research Institute testing approves 18 in (457 mm) installation minimum from structure (Figure 3-1, 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 independent testing lab indicated that any fire within the 12 Installation Guidelines For 60 HZAlr-Cooled Generators Site Selection and Preparation generator enclosure would not pose any ignition risk to nearby combustibles or structures, with or without fire service personnel response. ® SUR o NA. 13m-mo GJ of SuYhn 0.f 1f-oIF'P' 37 USTO BY. smlftr It Hraud, 6atiMe Bm kt & Tama NOM 1 130 awe Nam rOTE 2100 OMB.

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 3-9 and the installation drawing _ within the_owner_'s_manual_for_details. -- Site Preparation a Locate the mounting area as close as possible to the transfer switch and fuel supply. a Leave adequate room around the area for service access (check local code), and place high enough to keep rising water from reaching the generator. a Choose an open space that will provide adequate and unobstructed airflow. a 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 Selection). a 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 F!l m. 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) 0 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. 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. 000856 Figure 3-3. Compacted Soil or Gravel Pad NOTE: If a concrete pad is required, follow all applicable federal, state, or local codes. Installation Guidelines For60 HzAir-Cooled Generators 13 Site Selection and Preparation Transportation Recommendations Use a suitable cart or equipment to carry the generator, including the wooden pallet, to the installation site. Place cardboard between the hand cart and the generator to prevent any damage or scratches to the generator. IMPORTANT _NOTE: Do not lift, carry, or move the generator by grasping the louvers. Doing so may bend or damage the sheet metal. Placement on Roofs, Platforms, and Other Supporting Structures Where required to place the generator on a roof, platform, or other supporting structure, like a deck, the generator shall be placed in accordance with the requirements in NFPA 37, Section 4.1.3. The generator can be located 18 in (45.7 cm) from structures having combustible walls and 5 ft (1.52 m) from any operable opening in the structure. The surface beneath the generator and beyond shall be noncombustible to a minimum distance of 12 in (30.5 cm). Consult with the local Building Inspection Department or Fire Department to determine which noncombustible materials are approved for installation. 14 Installation Guidelines For 60 Hz Air -Cooled Generators
