GUARDIAN’s 10 kW is the most affordable automatic
standby generator on the market that can start a
3-ton air conditioner with power to spare. For under $2,600 you can start
and run your A/C, furnace and well pump plus maintain normal operation of lights,
electronics and appliances in your living room, family room, kitchen, bathroom
and bedroom.
As with all GUARDIAN generators, the 10 kW provides more
power at a lower price than any generator in its class, and because it comes pre-packaged
and pre-wired, it’s fast and easy to install, making the 10 kW model an even better
value.

Installation
Video
GUARDIAN® air-cooled generators are pre-wired
and pre-packaged, making installation easy for you, your electrical contractor
or one of our authorized dealers. To view our installation video (242 MB), please
click on the image to the right. A DVD of this installation video
along with an Installation
Guidelines booklet will be packaged with every generator purchased.
Note: Neither the installation video
nor the Installation Guidelines booklet replace or supersede any information contained
the Owner’s Manual, Installation Guide, technical manuals or any other documents
packaged with your equipment.
Breakthrough Design, Advanced Technology GUARDIAN® and GUARDIAN QuietSource™ air-cooled generators offer the most
wattage and greatest starting power in their class. The GUARDIAN QuietSource™
16 kW can start a 5-ton and 3-ton A/C unit or two 4-ton units. The 13 kW can start
a 4-ton and the 10 kW can start a 3-ton.
Whisper-Test™
(GUARDIAN QuietSource™ models only) Reduces noise to a whisper by lowering
engine speed during the generator’s weekly self-test. The Whisper-Test sound level
is comparable to a car at idle and is 50% quieter (59 dBA) than the competition.
Pre-wired and Pre-packaged GUARDIAN’s
pre-packaged, pre-wired air-cooled systems make installation easy and, therefore,
incredibly affordable for the do-it-yourselfer! Air-cooled models come with a
pre-wired automatic transfer switch, outdoor connection box and composite mounting
pad.
OHVI® Industrial Engine Generac’s
OHVI® (Overhead Valve Industrial) engines have been specifically designed for
generator demands. These engines offer the finest lubrication technology available
providing instantaneous disbursement of lubricant to all engine parts. They also
feature an automotive spin-on oil filter for simplified routine maintenance.
Superior Electrical Protection The air-cooled
10, 13 and 16 kW models feature an electronic governor, which maintains steady
speed and eliminates voltage drop when loads are applied. This, as well as the
automatic voltage regulator, provides a smooth rate of electricity, which is especially
important for sensitive electronic devices such as computers.
Superior
Paint New textured, powder coat paint process provides consistent coverage
and better bonding to seams and exposed edges providing durability and a long-lasting,
tough finish.
Aluminum Enclosure (optional
on GUARDIAN QuietSource™ models) GUARDIAN QuietSource™ generators are available
in a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure to better withstand the elements.
This option is especially important for homes in southern and coastal communities.
Automatic Exerciser An automatic seven
(7) day test of your system allows you to verify that your generator is in peak
operating condition at all times.
Automatic
Transfer Switch The automatic transfer switch automatically switches
the source of power from the utility to the generator within seconds of a power
outage. Because it’s automatic, you never have to flip a switch.
Convenient
Fuel Supply GUARDIAN and GUARDIAN QuietSource™ generators operate on
natural gas or LP gas service. This provides you with unlimited run time during
extended utility power failures.
Maintenance
Friendly Air-cooled models feature a hinged top and removable front
panel. Liquid-cooled models feature large, removable doors. This provides easy
and quick access for maintenance and servicing.
Automatic
Safety Shutdowns Automatic safety shutdowns protect the engine and
generator in the event of low oil pressure, high temperature, overspeed and/or
overcrank.
Protective Enclosure The
enclosure protects your generator from harmful weather and includes key locks
for security. Sound-absorbing panels also reduce exterior noise levels.
Battery Charger A built-in battery charger
ensures that the battery remains at an optimum performance level.
Easy
Installation GUARDIAN’s air-cooled pre-packaged, pre-wired systems
make installation the most affordable and easiest installation possible.
UL-Listed For your safety, GUARDIAN standby
generators are UL 2200 listed and all transfer switches are UL 1008 listed. This
validates safety and kilowatt ratings.
EPA and
CARB Emission Requirements Generators up to 25kW must comply with EPA
and CARB emissions requirements. All GUARDIAN generators up to 25 kW meet these
requirements.
Made in USA Manufactured by Generac Power Systems, we design and build our complete
product from the controls to the enclosures, to our air-cooled engines specifically
designed for generators. This ensures that all GUARDIAN and GUARDIAN QuietSource™
products are built to our highest standards.
