How it Works
GUARDIAN® Standby Generators are
completely automatic, helping to ensure that you remain safe from the negative and potentially harmful effects of power loss.
1. The GUARDIAN system automatically and continuously monitors incoming power from
the utility line.
2. When utility power is interrupted, the control
system in the generator automatically senses the loss of power and signals the generator to start.
3. The automatic transfer switch safely closes off the utility line and simultaneously opens a new power line from the generator.
4. Your GUARDIAN generator supplies
electricity to the critical circuits you previously chose to back up.
5. When utility line voltage returns, the system transfers the electrical load back to the utility line. The generator continues to run for
an engine cool-down period of several minutes and the entire system stands ready for the next power outage.
To ensure the system is always ready when you need it, your generator will run a 10-12 minute self-test
cycle every week. |
