Features:

• Innovative Engine Design & Rigorous Testing are at the heart of Generac's success in providing the most reliable generators possible. Generac's GForce engine lineup offers added peace of mind and reliability for when it's needed the most. The G-Force series engines are purpose built and designed to handle the rigors of extended run times in high temperatures and extreme operating conditions.
• Solid-state, Frequency Compensated Voltage Regulation: This state-of-the-art power maximizing regulation system is standard on all Generac models. It provides optimized Fast Response to changing load conditions and Maximum Motor Starting Capability by electronically torque-matching the surge loads to the engine. Digital voltage regulation at ±1%.
• True Power™ Electrical Technology: Superior harmonics and sine wave form produce less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion for utility quality power. This allows confident operation of sensitive electronic equipment and micro-chip based appliances, such as variable speed HVAC systems.
• Single Source Service Response from Generac's extensive dealer network provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine to the smallest electronic component.
• Test Criteria: Prototype Tested, Nema MG1-22 Evaluation, System Torsional Tested, Motor Starting Ability
• Mobile Link® Connectivity: Free with select Guardian Series Home standby generators, Mobile Link Wi-Fi allows users to monitor generator status from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information such as the current operating status and maintenance alerts. Users can connect an account to an authorized service dealer for fast, friendly, and proactive service. With Mobile Link, users are taken care of before the next power outage.
• Generac G-Force 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.

• Low oil pressure shutdown system - Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
• High temperature shutdown - Prevents damage due to overheating.
• Revolving field - Allows for a smaller, lightweight unit operating 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
• Skewed stator - Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment.
• Displaced phase excitation - Maximizes motor starting capability.
• Automatic voltage regulation - Regulating output voltage to ±1% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
• EPA Certified for non-emergency applications - Allows unit to be used for demand response applications (excluding 20 kW units)
• UL 2200 listed - For your safety.
• Fully automatic - Transfers vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
• NEMA 3R - Can be installed inside or outside for maximum flexibility.
• Remote mounting - Mounts near an existing distribution panel for simple, low-cost installation.
• AUTO/MANUAL/OFF illuminated buttons - Selects the operating mode and provides easy, at-a-glance status indication in any condition.
• Two-line multilingual LCD - Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance, and events up to 50 occurrences.
• Sealed, raised buttons - Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
• Utility voltage sensing Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
• Generator voltage sensing - Constantly monitors generator voltage to verify the cleanest power is delivered to the home.
• Utility interrupt delay - Prevents nuisance startups of the engine, adjustable 2-1500 seconds from the factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
• Engine warm-up - Verifies engine is ready to assume the load. Setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
• Engine cool-down - Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown. Setpoint approximately 1 minute.
• Programmable exercise - Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week. Offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation, providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
• Smart battery charger - Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature. Compatible with lead acid and AGM-style batteries.
• Main line circuit breaker - Protects generator from overload.
• Electronic governor - Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency.
• SAE weather protective enclosure - Sound attenuated enclosures ensure quiet operation and protection against mother nature, withstanding winds up to 150 mph (241 km/h). Hinged key locking roof panel for security. Lift-out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. Electrostatically applied textured epoxy paint for added durability.
• Enclosed critical grade muffler - Quiet, critical grade muffler is mounted inside the unit to prevent injuries.
• Small, compact, attractive - Makes for an easy, eye appealing installation, as close as 18 in (457 mm) away from a structure.
• 14 in (35.6 cm) flexible fuel line connector - Listed ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27 outdoor appliance connector for the required connection to the gas supply piping.
• Integral sediment trap - Meets IFGC and NFPA 54 installation requirements.
• Ability to view generator status - Monitor your generator with a smartphone, tablet, or computer at any time via the Mobile Link application for complete peace of mind.
• Ability to view generator Exercise/Run and Total Hours Review the generator's complete protection profile for exercise hours and total hours.
• Ability to view generator maintenance information - Provides maintenance information for your specific model generator when scheduled maintenance is due.
• Monthly report with previous month's activity - Detailed monthly reports provide historical generator information.
• Ability to view generator battery information - Built in battery diagnostics displaying current state of the battery.
• Weather information - Provides detailed local ambient weather conditions for generator location.
