DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

1. For ambient and altitude capabilities consult your Cat dealer. Air flow restriction (system) is added to existing
restriction from factory.

2. UL 2200 Listed packages may have oversized generators with a different temperature rise and motor starting
characteristics. Generator temperature rise is based on a 40° C ambient per NEMA MG1-32.

3. Emissions data measurement procedures are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89, Subpart D & E
and ISO8178-1 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx. Data shown is based on steady state operating conditions of 77° F,
28.42 in HG and number 2 diesel fuel with 35° API and LHV of 18,390 btu/lb. The nominal emissions data shown is
subject to instrumentation, measurement, facility and engine to engine variations. Emissions data is based on 100%
load and thus cannot be used to compare to EPA regulations which use values based on a weighted cycle.

Applicable Codes and Standards:

AS1359, CSA C22.2 No100-04, UL142,UL489, UL869, UL2200,
NFPA37, NFPA70, NFPA99, NFPA110, IBC, IEC60034-1, ISO3046, ISO8528,
NEMA MG1-22,NEMA MG1-33, 2006/95/EC, 2006/42/EC, 2004/108/EC.

Note: Codes may not be available in all model configurations. Please consult your local Cat Dealer representative for
availability.

Rating Type: STANDBY Fuel Strategy: LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION

STANDBY:Output available with varying load for the duration of the interruption of the normal source power. Average
power output is 70% of the standby power rating. Typical operation is 200 hours per year, with maximum expected usage
of 500 hours per year.

Ratings are based on SAE J1349 standard conditions. These ratings also apply at ISO3046 standard conditions

Fuel Rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16° C (60° F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb) when
used at 15° C (59° F) and weighing 850 g/liter (7.094 lbs/U.S. gal.). Additional ratings may be available for specific
customer requirements, contact your Cat representative for details. For information regarding Low Sulfur fuel and
Biodiesel capability, please consult your Cat dealer.
