Equipment Description

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

This equipment is a revolving field, alternating current Stationary Emergency Generator. It is powered by a gaseous fueled engine operating at 1800 rpm for 4-pole direct drive units, 3600 rpm for 2-pole direct drive units and 2300 - 3000 rpm for quiet drive gear units. See the Specifications section for exact numbers. The unit comes complete with a sound attenuated enclosure, internally mounted muffler, control console, mainline circuit breaker, bat- tery charger, and protective alarms as explained in the following paragraph.

All AC connections, including the power leads from the alterna- tor, 120 volt battery charger input and control connections to the transfer switch are available in the main connection box.

The Stationary Emergency Generator incorporates the following alternator features:

Rotor and Stator insulation class is rated as defined by NEMA MG1-32.6, NEMA MG1-1.66. The generator is self ventilated and drip-proof constructed. Refer to the Specifications section or the data label for the class ratings.

The voltage waveform deviation, total harmonic content of the AC waveform and telephone influence factor have been evalu- ated and are acceptable according to NEMA MG1-32.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

The unit has been filled with 5W-20 engine oil at the factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For Service SJ or SH.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. When changing the engine oil, be sure to use 5W-30 engine oil.

nAny attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recom- mended oil may result in an engine failure.

NOTE:

If not already equipped, it is strongly recommended to use the optional Cold Weather Start Kit for temperatures below 32° F. The part number for the Cold Weather Start Kit can be found in the Specifications section or by contacting an authorized dealer. The oil grade for temperatures below 32° F is 5W-30 synthetic oil.

COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Use a mixture of half low silicate ethylene glycol base anti-freeze and deionized water. Cooling system capacity is listed in the specifications. Use only deionized water and only low silicate anti-freeze. If desired, add a high quality rust inhibitor to the rec- ommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant, always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.

nDo not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with ethylene glycol base anti-freeze or chro- mium hydroxide (“green slime”) forms and will cause overheating. Engines that have been operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor must be chemically cleaned before adding eth- ylene glycol base anti-freeze. Using any high silicate anti-freeze boosters or additives will also cause overheating. The manufacturer also recommends that any soluble oil inhibitor is NOT used for this equipment.

nDo not remove the radiator pressure cap while the engine is hot or serious burns from boiling liquid or steam could result.

nEthylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous.

Do not use mouth to siphon coolant from the radiator, recovery bottle or any container. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Never store used antifreeze in an open container because animals are attracted to the smell and taste of antifreeze even though it is poisonous to them.

QT06024ANAX, QT06024AVSX, QT06024ANSX, QT06024AVAX specifications

The Generac QT06024AVAX, QT06024ANSX, QT06024AVSX, and QT06024ANAX are powerful and versatile residential generators designed for those who want the peace of mind provided by reliable backup power. These models from Generac's Guardian Series are engineered for performance, efficiency, and ease of use, making them ideal solutions for homeowners looking to ensure uninterrupted power during outages.

One of the standout features of these generators is their robust 60 kW capacity, which allows them to power essential home appliances, HVAC systems, and even larger electricity-demanding devices without a hitch. This capacity makes them suitable for medium to large homes, providing enough energy to keep daily operations running smoothly even during extended outages.

The QT series incorporates Generac's advanced Quiet-Test technology, which reduces noise levels during self-testing. This feature enables the generator to perform regular self-diagnostic tests at a much quieter decibel level, ensuring it does not disrupt the household during these checks. Additionally, the generators are designed with a weather-resistant enclosure, providing durability and protection against various environmental conditions.

The models are equipped with an intuitive control panel featuring a user-friendly digital display that allows for easy monitoring of power usage and system status. They also feature an automatic transfer switch that seamlessly switches from grid power to generator power in case of an outage, ensuring that the transition is almost instantaneous and worry-free for homeowners.

Moreover, the QT series generators utilize a liquid-cooled engine, which provides greater efficiency and performance compared to air-cooled alternatives. This technology not only ensures longer run times but also contributes to a longer lifespan for the generator. The low-oil pressure shutdown feature is another critical safety aspect, protecting the engine from damage by automatically shutting it down when oil levels are too low.

Finally, these models are designed with flexibility in mind. They can be customized with various accessories and options to meet specific homeowner needs. Whether for full home backup or partial power, the Generac QT06024AVAX, QT06024ANSX, QT06024AVSX, and QT06024ANAX are reliable solutions that give homeowners the confidence to weather any storm without losing power. With their combination of advanced technology, powerful performance, and user-friendly features, Generac continues to set the standard in home standby power solutions.
