POWER & RUN TIME
The Predator 5000
With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Predator 5000 provides an output of 120V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 3,900W along with a peak wattage of 5,000W. While propane-powered, it provides 3,600 rated watts and 5,000 starting watts. Moreover, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) enables power output to increase when paired with another similar or compatible unit, providing increased energy capacity and versatility for a wide range of needs.
The inverter generator is rated for a noise of 60.5 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music). Its starting mechanisms include a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism and a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included). In addition, the 5000 also supports remote starting, enhancing user convenience (key fob included).
As for its running time, the 5000, along with its 3.7 gallons fuel capacity, can run for up to 18.2 hours with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.2 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for up to 14.6 hours (on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 0.32 GPH).
The 5000 generates a clean sine wave with <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), ensuring minimal electrical noise and fluctuations. This feature makes it ideal for powering sensitive electronics, providing stable and reliable AC power through the outlets.
OUTLETS
The control panel features 3 AC outlets as follows:
Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)
120V 30A (TT-30R) receptacle
Moreover, it presents 3 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) ensuring convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets, for connectivity on the go and a 12V 8A receptacle making battery charging a breeze.
With its TT-30R receptacle (TT standing for 'Travel Trailer'), this Predator generator is RV Ready, perfectly suited for powering recreational vehicles.
PORTABILITY
With an inverter generator design, the Predator 5000 features a closed construction (L25 x W18 x H20.8 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. This modern design aims to provide an ideal power solution to recreational users.
Since the generator weighs 110 lbs, it will be incredibly difficult to manually lift it and transport it, even though it is technically considered to 'be portable' (in the sense that it is movable). However, its challenging mobility is solved by its set of 4 wheels (⌀5.5") and its telecospic handle, which will ease its displacement, once it is on the floor.
FEATURES
The 5000's control panel
A digital data center, one of the features of the 5000's control panel, gives you information on the lifetime run hours, power output and voltage, and thus, is helpful for the monitoring of its activity and status.
In addition to this info, the generator's light indicators provide visual feedback when the generator is on overload, the generator is ready and its oil levels are insufficient.
With its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator provides quick and convenient gas level checks.
In terms of security, the generator features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its use.
The unit also benefits from the Predator's CO SECURE™ carbon monoxide detection. This system monitors the accumulation of CO gas while the generator is running and will shut off the engine if the levels become dangerously high.
Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual(opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Predator 5000 features extra accessories: battery charging cables, funnel, propane hose, 3 altitude kits, tool kit and key fob.
