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 orgeneratorfuel type. The modules monitor the frequency (Hz) of the power being produced by Genefac'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. an outage. This reduces the minimum sae of the generator for a more cost-effective solution.

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. Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide, if not avoided, will resdit in death or serious injury. (000103) IMPORTANT MOTE: Move to fresh air immediately and seek medical attention if you feel sick, dizzy, or weak while the generator is running or afeer 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 Deter -fors See Figure 3-1. CO detectors. (1) 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 (VOTE: Common smoke alarms do NOT detect GO gas. Do not rely on smoke alarms to protect residents or animals from C.O. The only way to defect CO is to have functioning CO alarms. Site Selection and Preparation Potential CO En" potato 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. protees 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, soffits, pipes, and vents can allow exhaust gas to be drawn info the structure. Some examples of potential entry points are described and included in, but not limited to, the accompanying table. Figure 34. Carbon Monoxide—Pofenfial Entry Points ID Entry Point Description / Comments A Windows and doors I Architectural details which can be (or are) opened to admit fresh air into the structure. B Garage door CO can leak into garage if door is open, or does not seal correctly when closed. C Attic vent Attic vents, ridge vents, crawl space vents, and soffit vents can all admit generator exhaust. D Basement windows Windows or hatches allowing ventilation to or from lower level of a structure. E Furnace intake / Air Intake and exhaust pipes for furnace. exhaust vent F Wa0 cracks Includes (bbt.not limited to) cracks In wall, foundation, mortar, or airgaps around doors, Windows, and pipes, See Protect the Structure.

See Section 401 in the ICC Mechanical Code for any additional requirements. Firs Prevention 1 he generator roust 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 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. • /+ uudr+¢ Figure 3-2.

Site Selection and Preparation Fire Codes, Standards; and Guidelines 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. NFEA 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, Section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors: Engines, and their weatherproof housings if provided, installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 it (1.52 m) from openings in walls and at least 5 ft (1.52 rn) 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- Explanatoryr 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. MOTE: The Southwest Research institute (SwR0 is a nationally recognized third party testing and listing agency SwRi testing approves I in (457 mm) installa- tion minimum from the rear panel of the generator to an adjacent structure for n""re protection. The criteria was to determine the worst case fire scenario within the generator and to determine the ignffability 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. on 414 of WA 37 souftest RoSWA sun Antonio, Teas - Nam 1 130 CHAR P.M.- AJTE 2 130 C14% MA)0- MOTE 3 130 CHAR C'JJr­ R0TE 4 130 CHAR WjQ_ ••.

Sou6frwas`r Research Institute Narfzng hftpY1 2.swd.org1kww2111sip n2d 1 ©ocaincniSefecfion.bsp?ProducftD=97S&/ndasfrylD=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 building 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 it (0.91 m) at the front and ends of the enclosure. This includes frees, 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: Sea- Maintenance section of generator owner's manual to view a table of scheduled maintenance tasks and procedures. Perform all maintenance tasks as directed. Verify Mll-Fi Range See Wi-Fi manual shipped with the unit if planning to use the WI -Ft 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 lowers. Doing so may. bend or damage the sheet metal. Fresh Ar folr 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 distanceto protectthe unit. Water Ingress Avoidance Site Selection and Preparation Suitable Mounting surface See Figure 3-4. Prepare a rectangular area approximately 5 in (127 mm) deep (A) and approximately 3 in (76.2 mm) longer and wider (B) than the generator on all sides. 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. o 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. O o Excess moisture can cause excess corrosion and decrease life expectancy of the unit. Proximity to ultilifles 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- fance 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. Where required to place generator on a roof, platform, deck, or other supporting structure, generator must be placed in accordance with the requirements rn 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. lIli 4>tlni _�I Ii �11�C �\► IIi IIN 141 I!r IIIi 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.
