• Smart remote monitoring with app connect
  Built-in compatibility with Kohler’s energy management app lets you receive real-time alerts and monitor status remotely, adding convenience and visibility.
• Premium power quality & protection
  Brushless alternator and advanced voltage/Hz regulation produce clean, stable power with ultra-low distortion, safeguarding sensitive electronics and control systems.
• Industrial-grade control & diagnostics
  The RDC2 digital controller provides advanced system monitoring, diagnostics, and local data access via a backlit LCD display—helpful for facility managers and service techs.
• Quiet, durable enclosure
  Sound-attenuating aluminum housing with acoustic insulation keeps noise under ~61 dB at 23 ft, while corrosion-resistant finishes ensure long-term durability in harsh conditions.
• Flexible fuel & installation
  Runs on natural gas or propane, with simple field conversion and NFPA-compliant reduced setback requirements, making siting easier in tight spaces.

Maintenance Tips

• Run Weekly Exercise Cycle
  Ensure automatic self-test runs (≈20–30 minutes) to keep engine lubrication and system readiness optimal.
• Change Oil & Filters Regularly
  Follow scheduled oil, oil filter, and air filter changes to protect the industrial-grade KOHLER engine and extend service life.
• Inspect Battery & Charging System Monthly
  Check voltage, terminals, and corrosion to guarantee fast automatic startup during outages.
• Monitor Fuel System (Natural Gas / Propane)
  Verify fuel pressure, regulators, and line integrity for stable 3-phase load performance.
• Clean Air Intake & Enclosure
  Keep vents and enclosure free from dust and debris to maintain cooling efficiency and prevent overheating.
• Test Under Load Periodically
  Simulate real-world demand to confirm stable 3-phase voltage output and motor-starting capability.
• Use App Connect Monitoring
  Track alerts, runtime data, and system status remotely for proactive maintenance and faster troubleshooting.
• Inspect Electrical Connections
  Tighten and verify terminals, breakers, and transfer switch connections to ensure safe high-capacity operation.
• Check Spark Plugs & Filters
  Replace worn components to maintain fuel efficiency and clean combustion performance.
