Which is why our smurf blue Commodore generators are built to specification not to price, high quality equipment works out substantially cheaper in the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll of the Smurf blue diesel models are standard with an advanced Deep Sea controller pre configured for 2 wire auto start, making them perfect for off grid backup and emergency power. Featuring electric start with a heavy duty starter motor, reliable 1500 RPM 3 cylinder engine, and large output terminals for hard-wiring to your switchboard. Ours employ a warm up and cool down cycle managed by the deep sea controller to further look after the engine. Also supplied with a 10W solar panel trickle charger to keep your generator battery topped up \u0026amp; ready to rock n roll whenever you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis unit will deliver a maximum AC output of 13.2kVA\/13.2kW (@ PF1) or 12kVa\/12kW continuously. A water cooled engine means that it can run for extended periods of time whereas air cooled generators can be run for approximately 4 hours at one time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is available which allows this generator to be used for automatic mains power failure protection. If the mains power fails, the ATS will disconnect from the mains then start the generator to safely switch over \u0026amp; supply power to your property. Once the mains power is restored, the ATS will shut down the generator and re-connect your property to the mains power grid. Please contact us for more information. ATS is available for grid switch over.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWHAT YOU MUST KNOW WHEN BUYING A DIESEL GENERATOR\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– A lot of other generators on the market are running a smaller engine, for example a 10kVa 2 cylinder revving to 3000rpm vs our 9kVa 3 cylinder revving to 1500rpm. Running with less cylinders and at a higher RPM means they are working much harder, and likely to have a shorter life span. It’s a bit like having a Hyundai Getz and a Landcruiser both towing a 1.5 tonne trailer, they’ll both physically be able to tow the trailer however one will be able to tow that trailer for a hell of a lot longer than the other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– Another feature of the lower 1500rpm is that there is less noise, less vibration, less wear and tear, meaning more reliably and a steadier output power. Ours also have a foam padded sound proofing inside the enclosure which keeps them quieter again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– A large majority of generators are not set up for off grid as they don’t have two wire auto start, which means the generator will not kick in automatically to charge your batteries and\/or provide direct back up to your house. With some generators it is impossible to add a two wire start onto it afterwards as the controller isn’t designed to do so, other generators you can add a two wire auto start later but it’s difficult and expensive to do.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWill Work With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBackup for mains failure (requires a transfer switch for automatic transfer)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePermanent supply of power\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVictron inverters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSelectronics inverters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSMA inverters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePackage Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCommodore 13.2kVA Diesel Generator Single Phase, pre configured for 2 wire auto start\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10W Solar panel with 4 metres of cable and alligator clips (for keeping battery charged when not in use)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenerator specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRated continuous output – 12kVa\/12kW\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaximum output – 13.2KVA \/13.2kW\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEngine type – Four-cylinder, vertical inline, 4-stroke water cooled diesel engine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEngine RPM: 1500 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePower factor: 1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecibel dB(a) @ 7m = 69\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlternator type: Brushless, self excited\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFuel capacity – 55L\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFuel consumption – 4.98L\/H\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOil volume – 7.8L\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eService \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOil type when ambient temperature greater than 5 degrees (most common) = 15w-40\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOil type when ambient temperature is less than 5 degrees (cold conditions where the temperature never exceeds 35 degrees) = 10w-30\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCoolant type: include diesel specific 40-60% anti freeze,  Ethylene Glycol\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlways use the same oil \u0026amp; coolant types for best results\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst service @ 150 hours\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eServices @ 500 hours there after\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'Smurf Blue' diesel generators come with a 2 year (1000 hour) warranty, if your item is to be found defective within the warranty period we will replace that part free of charge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you are unable to fit the part you are welcome to send it back and our factory trained staff will replace the part for you free of charge within the warranty period.
