The Generac 50A Smart Management Module (SMM) is a device designed to prevent home standby generators from being overloaded by large appliance loads. It operates without control wires, offering a cost-effective and quick installation solution. Up to eight SMMs can be used in an installation to protect various home appliances.
The SMM manages electrical loads by shedding them when the generator's frequency drops below a preset value for a predetermined time, indicating an overload condition. This ensures the generator operates within its capacity, preventing damage and maintaining power to essential circuits. The SMM can be used individually or in conjunction with a Smart A/C Module (SACM) to manage a combined total of eight loads. SMMs operate independently when used with a SACM.
When setting up multiple modules, it is recommended to use Priorities A/C 1–4 on the SACM as the top priorities, followed by up to four SMMs as Priorities 5-8. Alternatively, specific A/C priorities on the SACM can be used as top priorities, with additional SMMs filling the remaining priority slots. To prevent all loads from returning to the generator simultaneously after a shed event, SMM priorities should be set to follow after the last HVAC load has returned. This gradual reintroduction of loads helps reduce the potential for subsequent overload events.
The SMM includes a lockout provision, allowing non-essential loads to be disabled during generator overload if they are not needed on backup power. This lockout mode is determined by generator frequency; if the generator has sufficient capacity, the load will be allowed to turn on even if the control is set to lockout mode. For digital thermostats where a 24 VAC thermostat wire is unavailable, an SMM can be used to interrupt power directly at the HVAC load.
The SMM is designed for ease of installation and reliable operation, ensuring efficient load management for home standby generator systems. Users are advised to read the manual thoroughly, consult an Independent Authorized Service Dealer (IASD) or Generac Customer Service for assistance, and save the manual for future reference.
