1. By monitoring generator engine performance, the switch is able to identify
when the generator approaches overload. At the appropriate time, the switch
disconnects two air conditioners, typically the highest electrical load in the
house.
2. After a 5-minute delay to allow for compressor bleed out, the switch
brings the AC units back online one after the other with a 30-second delay in
between. This is a standard capability in all Generac Smart Switches and does
not require any additional components, unlike competitive transfer switches.
3. In addition, up to four other large 240V loads can be managed when the
Smart Switch is used in conjunction with individual DLM modules. These modules
are 50 amps each and are housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure, giving the installer the
option to install them either at the electrical panel or anywhere in-line
indoors or outdoors between the electrical panel and the appliance. After the
four loads are shed, they are brought back individually to assure DLM Module
generator capability and eliminate the potential of overload.
