Generac’s GP Series generators provide a THD rating over 5%, as they do not feature Generac’s True Power™ Technology, which helps to ensure that specified units are able to operate any sensitive electronics, tools, and appliances cleanly and smoothly with a total harmonic distortion rating below 5%. If you are interested in a portable generator that features True Power Technology, we would recommend considering our XP Series generators.

The 49ST denotes that the product does not meet California requirements. 50ST means it is available for sale in California. The CO-SENSE module monitors for the accumulation of poisonous CO gas found in engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO-SENSE detects increasing levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO-SENSE only monitors when the engine is running. Generators are intended to be used out-doors, far from occupied buildings and the exhaust pointed away from personnel and buildings. However, if misused and operated in a location that results in the accumulation of CO, like a house or even a garage with partially opened door, CO-SENSE shuts off the engine, notifies the user of what has happened and directs the user to read the instruction action label for steps to take.

Because there is no industry standard way to measure sound output on portable products it makes it very hard to compare brand to brand. Generac does not list the specific decibel level for our portable products for this reason. This is an open engine similar to a lawn mower so it does not run as quiet as our automatic home standby generators, is comparable if not quieter than most other brands.

No, Generac model #7690 does not have the Cosense. Updating or modifying the unit could compromise the warranty on the unit. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team at 888-GENERAC (436-3722).
