Features

EVOLUTION™ CONTROLLER: The next generation of intuitive controllers featuring a multilingual, two-line LCD text display with color-coded, backlit buttons.
QUIET-TEST™ MODE: All standby generators run a weekly test to ensure the system is running properly. Thanks to Quiet-Test, your Protector Series standby generator runs its self-test at a lower, quieter RPM than standard operation.
MOBILE LINK™ CONNECTIVITY: Mobile Link™ Connectivity allows you to monitor the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet or PC. Easily access information, such as the current operating status and the generator’s maintenance schedule. Connect your account to an authorized service dealer for fast, friendly and convenient assistance. With Mobile Link, your generator is taken care of before the next outage.
