CO Detection and Shutdown
The WGen12000c generator is intended for outdoor use only, positioned away from homes and other buildings, with the exhaust pointed away from any persons or buildings.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, invisible gas produced by internal combustion engines and any device that burns a fuel to produce heat or energy. This generator is equipped with a carbon monoxide sensor that shuts the generator down when it detects rising CO levels above a preset threshold. The CO Sensor and Shutdown feature adds an additional measure of safety to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning caused by misuse.
