Residential Generators Presentation 2016 Ver 3.0
What is Standby Power?
• Automatic power system permanently installed
outdoors
• Power system includes generator set,
automatic transfer switch, battery charger
and distribution panel
• Automatically monitors utility power for
interruption
• Electrical load runs off generator set until utility
power is restored
• Transfer switch returns electrical load to utility
power automatically once it’s restored
• Systems may be sized to provide power for the
entire house or just selected key appliances
What Is Standby Power?
• An unopened refrigerator can only keep food safe for about 4 hours
• A failed sump pump can lead to complete loss of investments in finished basements
• Power outage can quickly lead to mold growth or frozen pipes
• Wine collections can be damaged if proper temperatures are not maintained
• Homes with well pumps have no water during an outage
• Security systems, phone systems, and computers all require power to operate
Costs Of Power Failure
Why Natural / LP Gas?• Environmental friendly
o Less Ozone forming emissions
o Zero evaporative emissions
o Zero spillage
o No conditioning / Longer shelf life
• Cheaper generator set
o Cost for generator set is lower as
compare to similar performance diesel
generator set
• Cheaper, less expensive fuel
• Less engine maintenance
• More dependable supply
Standby:
• Automatic start-up during power outages
• Wired into your home’s electrical panel- no extension cords run from generator to appliances
• No need for refueling- runs on your home’s existing fuel source: either natural or LP gas
• Automatically transfers power to the generator set when utility power goes out—whether you are home or not.
• When utility power resumes, the generator shuts down and resumes monitoring – always standing guard over your home
Portable Generators:
• Require manual start-up
• Require extension cords which must be rated for the proper load and distance from the power source
• Must run extension cords from each appliance through an open window to the generator
• Need to be continually filled with gasoline. Requires gasoline storage or reliance on gas station supply
• Homeowner must be present to start the generator set when the power goes out and refuel throughout the day and night.

OnCue
What is OnCue?
• Allows homeowners and service providers to observe and manage
generator performance from any remote location
• Software program that can be installed on any PC with Microsoft®
Windows Vista® or Windows XP®.
• Comes with a network bridge which is installed onto the Kohler
generator to allow you to monitor your Kohler generator at home from
any PC located anywhere in the world
• Once installed by a KOHLER power professional, the OnCue software
connects a computer to the home generator, displaying relevant status
information from the generator to assure normal operation.
What is OnCue?

OnCue for the ability to:
• View real-time status of generator operation
• Observe and/or clear any diagnostic fault codes (ADC 2100 only)
• Review a time-stamped history of faults and clearing of faults
• Start and stop the residential generator
• OnCue requires a personal computer (PC) with Microsoft® Windows
Vista® or Windows XP® and is compatible with the following residential
generators
• 8.5/12/17/18RES with ADC-RES control
• 15/30RES & 15/30RYG with ADC 2100 control

matter where they are.
• Excellent tool to boost maintenance contract revenues and elevate
customer satisfaction and peace of mind.
• Presents a great opportunity to Kohler distributors / dealers to obtain
add-on sales and service contracts from previous customers who
already have the the generator models listed above

Decision To Consider• Whole-house vs. essential loads
• Whole House configuration:
• Back up every electrical system and
convenience in your home.
• Essential loads configuration:
• Back up only the selected appliances
and components you determine
necessary (i.e., freezer, sump pump,
computer, refrigerator, microwave, TV)
• Fuel Source
• Connect to your natural gas fuel source
• If no natural gas, install a liquid propane
(LP) tank outside the home
KOHLER®’s online sizing tools allows you or your contractor to easily choose the right generator for your needs
