Air-cooled vs. Liquid-cooled

• Air-Cooled
• Typical home configuration
• Home valued less than 350,000
• Home less than 2,400 sq. ft.
• Typical Application Backup power for selected
  circuits in a home
• Liquid-Cooled
• Typical home configuration
• Home valued over 350,000
• Home greater than 2,400 sq. ft.
• Typical Application Back-up power for whole
  house and light commercial application
• Whisper Test mode - 50 quieter during weekly
  exercise
• Optional aluminum enclosure - improves corrosion
  resistance

How it Works

• The automatic transfer switch monitors
  incoming voltage from the utility line.
• When utility power is interrupted, the
  automatic transfer switch immediately senses the
  problem and signals the generator to start.
• The automatic transfer switch then safely
  closes off the utility line and simultaneously
  opens a new power line from the generator.
• Within seconds your home standby system begins
  supplying electricity to your critical emergency
  circuits. The transfer switch continues to
  monitor the utility line conditions.
• When the automatic transfer switch senses the
  utility voltage has returned at a steady state it
  re-transfers the electrical load back to the
  utility line and resumes monitoring for future
  utility loss. The engine continues to run for a
  cool down period of several minutes while the
  entire system stands ready for the next power
  outage.

Sound Levels
GUARDIAN vs. Competition
Whisper-Test feature - reduces noise by 50
during the generators weekly self-test cycle.
The generator starts up and operates at a reduced
speed, lowering sound output by as much as 12
decibels for units that normally run at higher
speeds under load. This allows for near silent
operation in test mode and satisfies all know
sound ordinances.
60 dB(A)
65 dB(A)
dB(A) Subjective loudness of a sound doubles for
every 10 decibel increase
