Generac Power Systems 5418 manual Unit

			HOME STANDBY SPECIFICATIONS		Home Standby – 18kW
		•	Generac (OHVI) Design	Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased	fuel efficiency. Cylinder walls run cooler, reducing
				oil consumption. Because heat is the primary cause of engine wear, the OHVI has a significantly
				longer life than competitive engines.
ENGINE		• ”Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls		Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
		• Electronic ignition, spark advance		These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.
			and compression release
		• Full pressure lubrication system		Superior lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance and significantly
				longer engine life.
		• Low oil pressure shutdown system		Superior shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
		•	High temperature shutdown	Prevents damage due to overheating.
GENERATOR		•	Revolving field	Allows for smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
		•	Displaced phase excitation	Maximizes motor starting capability. Provides more surge capability than brushless generator designs.
		•	Automatic voltage regulation	Regulates the output voltage to ±2% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
		•	UL 2200 Listed	For your safety.
TRANSFER	(OPT)SWITCH	•	Fully Automatic	Transfers your vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
		• 100, 200 or 400 Amp (options)		Required (order separately).
		•	Remote Mounting	Mounts near your existing distribution panel for simple, low cost installation.
		•	UL Listed	For your safety.
CONTROL		•	Manual/Auto/Off switch	Selects the operating mode.
		•	Utility voltage sensing	Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 75% pick-up, of standard voltage.
MICROPROCESSOR		•	Utility interrupt delay	Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, set point approximately 10 seconds.
		•	Engine warm-up	Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 10 seconds.
		•	Engine cool-down	Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
		•	Seven day exerciser	Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages.
		•	Timed Trickle Battery charger	Maintains battery voltage to insure starting.
		• Main Line Circuit Breaker		Protects generator from overload.
		•	Weather protective enclosure	Ensures protection against mother nature. Hinged key locking roof panel for security.
				Lift-out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. Electrostatically applied
UNIT				textured epoxy paint for added durability. Corrosion resistant aluminum is standard.
		• 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.
INSTALLATION	KIT	•	1/2” Dia. Flexible Fuel Line Pigtail	Easy Installation.
		• Composite Mounting Pad (Std)
