new for 2010

A revolutionary way to complete the standby

generator system, the combination of the Nexus

Smart Switch and the Nexus Controller adds up

to Generac’s Nexus Smart System. The smartest

air-cooled switch/controller system available,

it efficiently manages two large loads without

additional components, a function not possible

with a standard transfer switch. Add optional

DigitalLoadManagement(DLM)modulesfor

intelligent management of up to four more loads. It

also provides the most comprehensive display of

alarms and system stats. From monitoring to load

management, owning a standby generator system

has never been easier.

how it works 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.

Aftera5-minutedelaytoallowforcompressorbleedout, the switch brings the AC units back online one aftertheotherwitha30-seconddelayinbetween.Thisis a standard capability in all Generac Smart Switches and does not require any additional components, unlike competitive transfer switches.

air-cooled The new Nexus controller for air-cooled generators (8-20kW)notonlyincludesupgradedfeaturesavailable in the original controller, but also includes several new features, making it the most comprehensive air-cooled controller available.

new features benefit

ExternalcommonfaultalarmAllows for a connection to drive a common alarm if any shutdown for the generator occurs (i.e., security system, home automation integration)

Wiring errorGives indication if transfer switch is connected incorrectly without allowing board damage

Battery sentinel Monitors the battery to indicate that the battery is going to fail or if it has failed

Generator high voltage shutdown Shuts down generator at preset levels to avoid high voltage damage to appliances

Generator low voltage shutdown Shuts down generator at preset levels when voltage dips too low

Internal fault shutdown Shuts down generator in event of controller failure

Master Nexus Controller includes voltage regulator, battery charger and engine controller

+/- 1% voltage regulation, smart charging battery system where output voltage is dependent upon ambient temperature and only charges the system when needed

LCD/LEDdisplayandkeypadImproved user interface. Provides accurate, real time readings to both owner and service contractor.

RemotemaintenanceLEDHelps to protect equipment with visual reminder of required maintenance. Communicates directly with owner based on usage rather than relying solely on a service contractor and a scheduled maintenance cycle.

Wireless readyProvides expandable interface capabilities consistent with trends in future communication capabilities.

Time & dateAssures speed and accuracy in maintaining key aspects of user interface such as scheduled maintenance and exercise cycles.

Alarm logProvides accurate means of tracking both scheduled and unscheduled run time events that could effect maintenance, service and product life.

RunlogMaintains 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 displaySimple, easy-to-use control set-up provides the owner the option of at will setting/changing exercise rather than total reliance of Service Contractor.

Enginehoursdisplay Provides accurate run times to help assure proper maintenance intervals are maintained.

RPMandfrequencydisplays Hastens service diagnosis and provides immediate operation data at installation.

Hours under loadProvides insight into the consistency/quality of grid power input essential for adjusting maintenance intervals to actual hours rather than a time period.

Lowfuelpressure Helps to assure correct installation of fuel source at start-up

In addition to all the features of the air-cooled controller, new features for the liquid-cooled controller include:
