DURABILITY
Constructed
for rugged conditions and developed to stringent military
requirements for the Australian Army, the APD4500 has
undergone comprehensive testing and survived extremes
in temperature, high, humidity, salt laden atmospheres,
vibration, and drop tests.
POWER
OUTPUT
The
APD 4500 is a portable field deployable diesel generator
capable of delivering 4.5 kVA for any application in the
harshest of environmental conditions. There are three
easily accessible 15 A single-phase outlets.The APD 4500
has exceptional motor-starting capability, being able
to start motors of rated horsepower per generator kilowatt.
POWER
QUALITY
It
provides exceptional power quality which exceeds the military
requirements of QSTAG299 under all load conditions. Low
harmonics make it ideal to supply power to sensitive electronic
equipment such as radios and computers. Precise voltage
regulation is achieved using digital technology and real
RMS sensing to maintain the output voltage to within 1.0%
of its preset value.
PORTABILITY
Compact
design with convenient lifing eye and tube construction
provides easy handling.
RELIABILITY
The
microprocessor based control system has proven to be a most
reliable method of regulating the output voltage, displaying
power values and monitoring all areas of the generator.
If a fault occurs the equipment is shut down before any
damage is caused. A diagnostic message appears on the control
panel indicating what fault caused the shutdown. A dependable
diesel engine provides the highest efficiency and effortless
starting.
EASY
TO USE
The
APD 4500 has electric and manual recoil start. The digital
instrument panel displays voltage, frequency and load. Designed
so that non technical operators can perform all minor preventitive
and scheduled maintenance using only the tools supplied
in the accessory box which also contains spare fuel and
air filters, oil strainer, and the user manual.
MAINTENANCE
Modular
design allows for rapid fault diagnosis and repair in the
field by module replacement. Minimal servicing is required
with scheduled maintenance only once every 100 hours. A
complete workshop manual and spare parts book written to
comply with DEF(AUST) 5629A is also available.
