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. |
