Reports
Generac Link Manager provides integrated report support for generators and connected ATSs. Operational at a number of industrial sites to facilitate regulatory compliance, these reports provide both field technicians and other users an important view into equipment as well as aggregated, site-level data. Reports are available and downloadable from the Reports tab.
This topic includes information on:
Equipment Run Reports: With each engine run, an event is created to produce a report with event information and performance data. The reports can be found in the Report History and are a standard offering.
NFPA Reports: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides requirements for backup power so that when an outage occurs, vital services that impact health and safety are not disrupted. Emergency power infrastructure includes devices that switch from the electrical grid to a local source. The generator must fire up within ten seconds and it must be demonstrated monthly that the backup power equipment is in this readiness state and that ATSs (automatic transfer switches) perform as expected. These reports can be generated automatically.
Generator Run Reports: The Generator Run Report provides total run-time hours by run type and offers field technicians and other users an important view into asset and aggregated, site-level data. The report is also leveraged to facilitate compliance to state-level regulations, where applicable.
Downloadable to a .CSV file, the report tracks asset run hours across three key categories: test (maintenance), outages, and for asset run or activation hours, the latter used in grid services applications. The report can be used at client installations where Air Quality Indices (AQIs) may limit test-maintenance Run Types. Fuel levels are also indicated.
