 Total System Integration.
Everything Works Together.

Reliability of power systems is critical. Your business depends on it. At Kohler, we build industrial
power systems that are proven to work because total system integration is engineered in from the
start.

For more than 90 years, Kohler has earned a global reputation as a pure power expert — in large part
to our strict quality standards. Our power systems are equipped with Kohler innovation, including
generators, transfer switches, switchgear and controllers. Enduring the industry’s toughest testing
process, including transient power testing, cooling sound and more, every part is built to work with
the entire system and perform in the most demanding environments before they are shipped out.

Our power systems are built for nearly every application, powering everything from gas stations to
hotels and hospitals, as well as military operations and airports. So you can be rest assured that our
products will work when you need them most.

Dependable Power and Performance

Tried, Tested and Proven to Work.
The new KX-series generators offer total, reliable and continuous power with a higher load factor^ as
well as competitive fuel consumption rates. Incorporating Kohler’s innovative technology, the KX range
enables a seamless integration that allows versatile system configurations for optimal performance.

Today, Kohler provides integrated solutions to streamline the specifying process. Our industrial
generators are diesel-fueled models — ranging from 5.5 kVA to 3,300 kVA @ 50 Hz (11 kW to 3200
kW @ 60 Hz) complete with electronic controls and automatic transfer switches. To help cater to
unique installation environments, we also offer a range of accessories, including controls, silencers,
enclosures, fuel tanks and block heaters.

Generator Set Controls 50-60 Hz

Three control units are available in our 715 to 3300 kVA range: the M80, the KOHLER® DEC4000 control unit and the
KERYS. Your control unit can be chosen according to your equipment type and perfectly adapted to suit your needs using
the available options. This modularity is made even easier by the fact that each optional peripheral device (air cooler, daily
service tank, oil top-up, etc.) has its own protection.

For power plants, separate control boxes may be used in place of the control units: Please contact us for more
information.

M80
The M80 control unit has a dual functionality. It can be used as a basic terminal block for connecting a control
box and as an instrument panel with a direct read facility that provides a global view of your generator set's basic
parameters.
