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 generaforfuel type. The modules monitor the frequency (Hz) of the power being produced by Generac'sstandby generators. It 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.ao outage. This reduces the minimum size of the generator for a more cost-effective solution.

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 o Suitable mounting surface I he 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 Monoxide REMOO Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. (000iO3) WPORTAMT NOTE_ Move to Fresh air immediately and seek medical attention if you Feel sick, di-cy, or creak while the generator is running or after it stops. 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. Carbon Monoxide Detectors See Figure 3-1. CO detectors- (1Q 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 manufacturers instructions and warnings. Contact local building inspection department for any applicable requirements concerning CO detectors. IMPORTANT NOTE: Common smoke alarms do NOT detect GO gas. ®o not rely on smoke alarms to protect residents or animals from CO. The omy 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. ProtteU the Structure Verify structure itself is correctly caulked and sealed to prevent air from leaking in or out. Voids, cracks, or openings around windows, doors, sotiits, pipes, and vents can allow exhaust gas to be drawn into the structure. Some examples of potential entry points are described and included in', but not limited to, the accompanying table. Figure 3-1.

See Section 4011 n the ICC Mechanical Code for any additional requirements. Me pPevendan The generator must be installed at a safe distance away from combustible materials. 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. Site Selection and Preparation Distance Requiremonts 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. voninz Figure 3-2. Genera€orDis€ance Requirements Site Selection and Preparation Fire Codas, Standards; and Guidellnei 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. NFPA 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 responders. NFPA 37, SecBon a,1.4, Engines Located Outdoors: Engines, and their weatherproof housings if provided, installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 ft (1.52 m) from openings in walls and at least 5 fi (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 resis- tance rating of at least one hour. 2. 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. . Annex A.—Ezplanatorny 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 frequently available for installation, it has become apparent that exception (2) would be beneficial for many residential and commercial installations. The manufacturer contracted with an independent testing laboratory to run full scale fire tests. NOTE: The Southwest Research institute (SwRl) is a nationally recognized third parry testing and listing agency SwRI testing approves 18 in (457 mm) installa- tion minimum from the rear panel of the generator to an adjacent structure for fire protection. 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 generator enclosure would not pose any ignition risk to nearby combustibles or structures, with or without fire service personnel response. 37 t]Vyy — T BY. s tfi of 1Ru A n5iID BY.

Southwast research Insat¢te ManUng hfpYlWww2.swri.or,glw w2liistpro& OocurnenfSelecfion.asp?ProducLtD=973clndusfrylD=2 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 buildifig 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 (a.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 NOTE: See Maintenance section of generator owner's manual to view a table of scheduled maintenance masks and procedures. Perform all maintenance (asks as directed. I Fresh Quin four Ventilation and Cooling 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 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 - oil, 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 asclose 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 WI-Fi Range See Wr-Fi manual shipped with the unit Ifplanning 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 damage or scratches to generator. Do not lift, carry, or move generator by.grasping the louvers. Doing so may, bend or damage the sheet metal. Site Selection and Preparation Suitable invnounting Surface See .Figure 34. Prepare a rectangular area approximately 5 in (127 mm) deep (A) and approximately 3 in (76.2 mm) longer and wider (6) than the generator on all sides. u Figure 3-4. Compacted Gravel or Concrete Fad 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 On Roofs, Platforms, and Other suppoeing 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 IS in (457 mm) from structures having combustible walls and 5 it (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.
