RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

(1) Standby Maximum output available for the duration of an emergency power outage
(typically less than 500 hours/year).
Ratings are based on low energy gas having a Low Heat Value (LHV) of 35.64 MJ/Nm3
(905 Btu/ft3).For values in excess of altitude. ambient temperature, inlet/exhaust restriction, or
different from the conditions listed, contact your Cat Dealer.

(2) Ratings and fuel consumption are based on ISO 3046/1 standard reference
conditions of 25 C (77 F) of ambient temperature and 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg) of
total barometric pressure, 30% relative humidity with 0, +5% fuel tolerance.

(3) Altitude capability is based on 2.5 kPa air filter and 5.0 kPa exhaust stack restrictions.

(4) Heat rejection Values based on nominal data with fuel tolerance of +/-2.5% and
2.5 kPa inlet and 5.0 kPa exhaust restrictions.

(5) Assume synchronous driver.

(6) Emissions data measurements 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 engine operating conditions of 25C (77F), 96.28 kPa (28.43 Hg)
and fuel having a LHV of 35.6 MJ/Nm3 (905 Btu/cu ft) and 80 Cat Methane Number at
101.60 kPa (30.00 in Hg) absolute and 0 C (32 F). Emission data shown is subject to
instrumentation, facility and engine fuel system adjustment.
