Boost Your Generator’s Efficiency with Smart Management Modules

As power outages become more frequent due to severe weather conditions and increasing demands on the grid, many homeowners are turning to home standby generators for reliable backup power. However, ensuring your generator operates efficiently and powers your most essential appliances is critical. That’s where Smart Management Modules (SMMs) come into play. These devices help your generator manage power more intelligently, providing enhanced energy efficiency and peace of mind during an outage.

What Are Smart Management Modules?

Smart Management Modules (SMMs) work alongside your generator to ensure optimal power management during an outage. When the electricity demand exceeds what your generator can provide, these modules automatically “shed” or reduce non-essential loads, allowing the generator to focus on critical systems. By controlling up to 8 different loads, SMMs ensure your generator runs more efficiently and doesn’t get overloaded.

Benefits of Installing Smart Management Modules

Automatic Power Management

SMMs seamlessly integrate with your home standby generator to prioritize power distribution during an outage. These modules detect when your generator is nearing capacity and shed non-essential loads, ensuring that critical systems like HVAC, refrigerators, and medical devices remain powered.

Customizable Load Prioritization

With Smart Management Modules, you can assign priority levels to each load in your home. For example, you may prioritize keeping your heating system and lights running while shedding power from less critical systems like water heaters or garage outlets. You can assign up to 8 different priority levels based on your household’s needs.

Increased Generator Efficiency

By preventing your generator from being overloaded, SMMs help maximize energy efficiency. They reduce the risk of your generator shutting down due to overuse, ensuring that your home remains powered throughout the entire outage, even when energy demands fluctuate.

Outdoor and Indoor Installation

Designed with versatility in mind, Smart Management Modules are housed in a Type 3R enclosure, allowing them to be installed either indoors or outdoors. This makes them suitable for different property layouts and ensures that they can operate efficiently in various environmental conditions.

How to Get Started with Smart Management Modules

1. Consult with a Licensed Electrician
   Installing Smart Management Modules is a simple process when handled by a professional. Consult with a licensed electrician who can help you determine the best setup for your home and ensure everything is properly connected to your generator.
2. Prioritize Your Loads
   Work with your electrician to assign priority levels to different loads in your home. This ensures that essential systems stay powered while less critical systems are shed during an outage.
3. Regular Maintenance
   Just like your generator, Smart Management Modules should be regularly checked to ensure they are functioning properly. Schedule maintenance inspections along with your generator’s routine service to ensure optimal performance.
