Essential Circuits - Rheem GEN12S Manuel De L'utilisation

IMPORTANT: Laws or local codes may regulate the distance
to the fuel supply.
The Home Generator System is shipped already attached to
its mounting pad. Unless mandated by local code, a concrete
slab is not required.
If mandated by local code, construct a concrete slab at least
3 inches thick and 6 inches longer and wider than the unit.
Attach unit to slab with 1/4" diameter (minimum) masonry
anchor bolts long enough to retain the unit.

Essential Circuits

As a Home Generator System owner, it is important that you
clearly identify the circuits in your building that are "essential"
to you.
It is important that your installer understand which circuits
you want to include as "Essential Circuits". Depending on the
power consumed by these circuits, most or all of them can
be switched to the Home Generator System for the duration
of normal power interruption.
The wattage reference guide shown in Figure 2 will assist you
with your decision-making process. It provides the wattage
used by many ordinary household devices. Use it as a guide
when selecting your essential circuits. Review this
information with your installer and ask about any technical
considerations that might affect the cost of your installation.
