Digital Controls

MULTIPLE LED ANNUNCIATION: Provides specific system information without having to open the generator enclosure.
AUTO / OFF / MANUAL BUTTONS: Select the operating mode.
UTILITY VOLTAGE SENSING: Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
UTILITY INTERRUPT DELAY: Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
ENGINE WARM-UP: Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 6 seconds.
ENGINE COOL-DOWN: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
COLD SMART START: If the ambient temperature is cold, allows the engine to warm up before load is applied.
SEVEN DAY EXERCISER: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages.
SMART BATTERY CHARGER: Maintains battery charge level to ensure starting.
MAIN LINE CIRCUIT BREAKER: Protects generator from overload.
MULTIPLE PROTECTION FEATURES: Prevents additional damage from occurring within the generator if a fault condition arises.

Engine

GENERAC (OHV) DESIGN: Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings help the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption and resulting in longer engine life.
CAST IRON CYLINDER WALLS: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN: Prevents damage due to overheating.

Features

Powers 8 circuits of your home with the 50-amp, NEMA 1 (indoor rated only) lightweight transfer switch.
3 Year Limited Warranty for automatic standby generators.
True Power™ Technology delivers best-in-class power quality with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion for clean, smooth operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.
Generac generators and engines are engineered and built in the USA*. (*Assembled in the USA using domestic and foreign parts.)
Generac OHV engine is designed for reliability and long-life operation.
24/7/365 Customer Support Team standing by all day, every day from our headquarters in Wisconsin to answer any questions you might have.
Durable powder-coat finish helps make the sturdy, galvanneal steel enclosure perfect for all weather conditions.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN & PROTOTYPE TESTING: are key components of GENERAC’S success in “IMPROVING POWER BY DESIGN.” But it doesn’t stop there. Total commitment to component testing, reliability testing, environmental testing, destruction and life testing, plus testing to applicable CSA, NEMA, EGSA, and other standards, allows you to choose GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS with the confidence that these systems will provide superior performance.
