Guardian Series Upgrades
A suite of new enhanced features ensures air-cooled Guardian Series generators remain #1 in home standby power. Configurable in either natural gas or LP fuel supply, these units are available in sizes from 8 - 20 kW.
A revolutionary way to complete the standby

features • Standard load management of two air conditioners with no additional hardware • Cover more circuits with a smaller generator • 100, 200, or 400 Amp, 1ø • Service rated and non-service rated • Add additional individual DLM modules and manage up to four more large loads • NEMA 3R aluminum enclosure standard
DLM Module
Engineered with Generac’s Digital Load Management (DLM) technology, the Nexus Smart Switch is the smartest transfer switch on the market. It has the ability to cycle on and off two air conditioners without additional components, allowing for a smaller generator to cover more circuits than when paired with a standard transfer switch.
how it works
1 2
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.
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.

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 generator capability and eliminate the potential of overload.

Time & date
Assures speed and accuracy in maintaining key aspects of user interface such as scheduled maintenance and exercise cycles.
Alarm log
Provides accurate means of tracking both scheduled and unscheduled run time events that could effect maintenance, service and product life.
Run log
Maintains readings of run time in exercise cycles and use related to outages for improved accuracy in scheduling maintenance and determining product life.
Set exercise via display
Simple, easy-to-use control set-up provides the owner the option of at will setting/ changing exercise rather than total reliance of Service Contractor.
Engine hours display
Provides accurate run times to help assure proper maintenance intervals are maintained.
RPM and frequency displays
Hastens service diagnosis and provides immediate operation data at installation.
Hours under load
Provides insight into the consistency/quality of grid power input essential for adjusting maintenance intervals to actual hours rather than a time period.
Low fuel pressure
Helps to assure correct installation of fuel source at start-up
