Guardian 18KW Generator Features And Benefits





Provides essential circuit power protection for your home, ensuring the necessities remain powered during an outage or up to whole house coverage when paired with one of Generac’s load- shedding switches. Capable of backing up a five ton air conditioner.

Key Features
  • 5 Year Limited Warranty for automatic standby generators.
  • True Power™ Technology delivers best-in-class power quality with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion for clean, smooth operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.
  • Generac generators and engines are engineered and assembled in the USA.
  • Generac's G-Force Engine is a purpose-built, pressure-lubricated engine capable of handling the rigors of generator use, resulting in power that’s more reliable and requires less routine maintenance than any competitive engine.
  • 24/7/365 Customer Support Team standing by all day, every day from our headquarters in Wisconsin to answer any questions you might have.
  • Quiet-Test™ Self-Test Mode runs at a lower RPM for a five or twelve minute test, making generators significantly quieter than other brands while consuming less fuel.
  • Tough, Durable All-Aluminum Enclosures: Our RhinoCoat™ powder-coated finish helps make corrosion-resistant aluminum perfect for all weather conditions.
  • Smart, User-Friendly Controls. Generac’s Evolution™ Controller features a multilingual LCD display that allows users to monitor battery status and track maintenance intervals to ensure your generator is always in top operating condition.
  • Mobile Link™ Remote Monitoring FREE with every Guardian Series Home standby generator allows you to monitor the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information, such as the current operating status and maintenance alerts.
Engine
  • Generac G-Force design: Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings help the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption and resulting in longer engine life.
  • "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.
  • Full pressure lubrication system: Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance, and longer engine life. Now featuring up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
  • Low oil pressure shutdown system: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
  • High temperature shutdown: Prevents damage due to overheating.
Generator
  • Revolving field: Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
  • Skewed stator: Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment.
  • Displaced phase excitation: Maximizes motor starting capability.
  • Automatic voltage regulation: Regulating output voltage to ±1% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
  • UL 2200 listed: For your safety.
Transfer Switch (if applicable)
  • Fully automatic: Transfers vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
  • NEMA 3R: Can be installed inside or outside for maximum flexibility.
  • Remote mounting: Mounts near an existing distribution panel for simple, low-cost installation.
Evolution™ Controls
  • AUTO/MANUAL/OFF illuminated buttons: Select the operating mode and provide easy, at-a-glance status indication in any condition.
  • Two-line multilingual LCD: Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance, and events up to 50 occurrences.
  • Sealed, raised buttons: Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
  • Utility voltage sensing: Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
  • Generator voltage sensing: Constantly monitors generator voltage to verify the cleanest power is delivered to the home.
  • Utility interrupt delay: Prevents nuisance startups of the engine, adjustable 2–1500 seconds from the factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
  • Engine warm-up: Verifies engine is ready to assume the load. Setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
  • Engine cool-down: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown. Setpoint approximately 1 minute.
  • Programmable exercise: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week. Offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation, providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
  • Smart battery charger: Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature. Compatible with lead acid and AGM-style batteries.
  • Main line circuit breaker: Protects generator from overload.
  • Electronic governor: Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency.
Unit
  • SAE weather protective enclosure: Sound attenuated enclosures ensure quiet operation and protection against mother nature, withstanding winds up to 150 mph (241 km/h). Hinged key locking roof panel for security. Lift-out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. Electrostatically applied textured epoxy paint for added durability.
  • 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, as close as 18 in (457 mm) away from a structure.
Installation System
  • 14 in (35.6 cm) flexible fuel line connector: Listed ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27 outdoor appliance connector for the required connection to the gas supply piping.
  • Integral sediment trap: Meets IFGC and NFPA 54 installation requirements.
Connectivity
  • Ability to view generator status: Monitor your generator with a smartphone, tablet, or computer at any time via the Mobile Link application for complete peace of mind.
  • Ability to view generator Exercise/Run and Total Hours: Review the generator's complete protection profile for exercise hours and total hours.
  • Ability to view generator maintenance information: Provides maintenance information for your specific model generator when scheduled maintenance is due.
  • Monthly report with previous month’s activity: Detailed monthly reports provide historical generator information.
  • Ability to view generator battery information: Built in battery diagnostics displaying current state of the battery.
  • Weather information: Provides detailed local ambient weather conditions for generator location.
