Ecogen 15KW Generator Features And Benefits
Whether the off-grid lifestyle is a choice or a necessity, you are responsible for producing the energy you consume – even when there’s no sun or wind. Ensure you never have dead batteries with the Generac EcoGen–the only automatic standby generator designed and warrantied specifically for off-grid use with an alternative energy system.
Key Features
- Innovative Extended Run Capability: oil circulation system extends the maintenance intervals by an unprecedented 5 times the industry standard by offering 500 hour maintenance intervals.
- Generac generators and engines: are engineered and built 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.
- 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
- 3 Year / 2,000 Hour: Limited Warranty for automatic standby generators.
- 24/7/365 Customer Support: Team standing by all day, every day from our headquarters in Wisconsin to answer any questions you might have.
- Our RhinoCoat™: powder-coated finish helps make corrosion-resistant aluminum perfect for all weather conditions.
- 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.
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.
- Oil circulatory system: Extends maintenance intervals to 500 hours and virtually eliminates oil degradation.
- Full pressure lubrication system: Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance, and longer engine life.
- 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, lightweight unit operating 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.
Evolution™ Controls
- AUTO/MANUAL/OFF illuminated buttons: Selects the operating mode and provides 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.
- 2-Wire start interconnection: Allows the generator to be started by a two wire signal.
- 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 the generator via a smartphone, tablet, or computer at any time via the Mobile Link application for complete peace of mind.
- Ability to view generator Run and Total Hours: Review the generator's complete protection profile for total run hours.
- Ability to view generator maintenance information: Provides maintenance information for the 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.
