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 made 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.

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, Section 4.1.4, 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 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 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. AnnexA—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 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 (SwRI) is a nationally recognized third party 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. ® SaRI 10.

Southwest Research Institute Marking http://www2.swri. org/www2/listlirod/ DocumentSelection.asp7ProductlD=97361ndustrylD=2 Based on this testing and the requirements of NFPA 37, Sec4.1.4, 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 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 NOTE: See Maintenance section of generator owner's manual to view a table of scheduled maintenance tasks and procedures. Perform all maintenance tasks as directed. 16 Installation Guidelines for 60 HzAir-Cooled Generators Site Selection and Preparation Fresh Air for Ventilation and Oooiing 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. 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. • 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 Wi-Fi Range 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 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. Sultabie 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. Ili ��Il/i O\I H Figure 3-4. Compacted Gravel or Concrete 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 on Roofs, Platforms,. and Other Supporting 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. Guidelines for 60 Hz Air -Cooled. Generators 17
