Siemens Standby


What is a standby power generator?
A fossil fuel powered engine used to create electricity
Runs on natural gas or liquid propane vapor
Permanently attached to the house via a fuel line and conductors, eliminating the need to refuel gas tanks and plug in
Designed to endure the elements, provided with a mounting pad on small units, requires a concrete pad for larger units
Completely automatic - detects power outages, waits 15 seconds, then switches power over to the generator (automatic transfer switch required)
Restores power to pre-selected circuits
Returns power to utility once restored
Self tests weekly
Requires basic maintenance (oil and filters)
