    SYSTEM       ENGINE
Power   2.5 kW at 2,600 rpm   Lifetime   40,000-hour minimum/continuous operation
Voltages   110 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz; 48 VDC   Design   Four-stroke, naturally-aspirated, spark-ignited, cast-iron, large sump and oversized bearings
Fuel   Natural gas, 800 to 1,200 Btu/scf range (ratings at 1030) 44 standard ft3/hr at full load, 2,600 rpm at standard operating conditions. LPG, 1/2 gallon per hour at full load.   Safety   Automatic shutdown for low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, overspeed; de-energizing ignition shuts down fuel valve
Interfaces   Fuel ¾-in. female npt; power 7/16-in. – 24 x 1 in. long binding posts; serial communications port   Ignition   Solid-state, computer-controlled
Enclosure   Rugged 3/16-in. aluminum structural members with 1/8-in. aluminum skin   Starting   12 VDC powered by automotive gel-cell battery
Finish   Fully coated inside and out; top coat of polyurethane enamel   Speed   1,200 to 3,000 rpm with no load, 1,800 to 3,000 rpm under full load, software selectable
Openings   Louvers and screens on inlet and outlet for weather, insect, and vandal protection; filter on air inlet   Cooling   Liquid cooled
Weight   Operational, approximately 525 lb. (238 kg) with battery and carrying handles   Oil   Special long life, low deposit formation oil in 11.4-litre sump for 4,000+ hour change interval; full-pressure system.
Size   Approximately 41 in. (104 cm) L x 41 in. (104 cm) W x 36 in. (91 cm) H        
Noise Level   Maximum 65 dB at 23 ft. (7 m)       ALTERNATOR
Environment   20°F to 110°F - 10,000 ft. (3,050 m) 100% relative humidity   Design   Bearingless, brushless, direct-drive, aluminum stator housing
        Regulation   AC units +/-3% on voltage, 0.1% on frequency; DC units +/-2% on voltage over full rpm range
    OPTIONS   Safety    
Control   Cell phone or satellite communications for remote command/control, system monitoring, and data acquisition   Output   2.5 kW (delivered to load) for 110 VAC, 48 VDC with constant ac 50- or 60- Hz frequency, DC voltage over 1,800 to 3,000 rpm, lightning surge suppression
Environmental   Cold weather package Low-noise package for sound-sensitive sites   Ripple   At full load, 48 VDC units – 1.8 V peak to peak
        Distortion   AC unit total harmonic distortion is less than 5%
        Noise/EMI   Metal isolation compartment eliminates radiation – no problem with on-board cellular phone system
