Engine Protective Devices

The Stationary Emergency Generator may be required to operate for long periods of time without an operator on hand to monitor such engine conditions as coolant temperature, oil pressure or rpm. For that reason, the engine has several devices designed to protect it against potentially damaging conditions by automatically shutting down the unit when the oil pressure is too low, the coolant temperature is too high, the coolant level is too low, or the engine is running too fast.

NOTE:

Engine protective switches and sensors are mentioned here for the reader’s convenience. Also refer to the applicable control panel manual for additional automatic engine shutdown infor- mation.

HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENDER

An analog coolant temperture sender, located in the engine's cooling system will cause an engine shutdown if the temperature should exceed approximately 125° C (257° F). The generator will automatically restart once the temperature has returned to a safe operating level.

LOW COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR

To prevent overheating, the engine has a low coolant level sensor. If the level of engine coolant drops below the level of the low cool- ant level sensor, the engine automatically shuts down.

LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

This switch has normally closed contacts that are held open by engine oil pressure during cranking and operating. Should oil pres- sure drop below the 8 psi range, switch contacts close, and the engine shuts down. The unit should not be restarted until oil is added, and the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch must be turned to OFF and then back to AUTO.

OVERCRANK SHUTDOWN

After a prespecified duration of cranking, this function ends the cranking if the engine has failed to start. The overcrank message will turn ON. Turn OFF the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch, then turn switch back to AUTO to reset the generator control board.

NOTE:

If the fault is not corrected, the overcrank feature will continue to activate.

Approximate Crank Cycle Times

•15 seconds ON

•7 seconds OFF

•7 seconds ON

•7 seconds OFF

•Repeat for 45 seconds

•Approximately 90 seconds total.

OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN

A speed circuit controls engine cranking, start-up, operation and shutdown. Engine speed signals are delivered to the circuit board whenever the unit is running. Should the engine overspeed above a safe, preset value, the circuit board initiates an automatic engine shutdown. Contact the nearest Authorized Dealer if this failure occurs.

RPM SENSOR LOSS SHUTDOWN

If the speed signal to the control panel is lost, engine shutdown will occur.

DC FUSES

A fuse (7.5 amp) is located on the control panel. It protects the panel components from damaging overload. Always remove this fuse before commencing work on the generator. The unit will not start or crank if the fuse is blown.

A fuse (25 amp) is located in the engine wire harness adjacent to the DC alternator. It is used to prevent circuit failure due to DC alternator falure. It will also protect the system in the event of a wiring short-dircuit. If this fuse is blown, the generator will not operate. Replace these fuses with the same size, type, and rating.

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.
