 (Clear space clearance requirement -- including pulley, terminals, and mounting lugs)
Minimum Shaft Speed for Maximum Output Power Approximately 6,500 RPM (higher shaft speeds – up to approximately 16,000 rpm - have no detrimental effect on performance)
Minimum Shaft Speed for Minimum Output Power Approximately 1,500 RPM  
Direction of Rotation Series 150 -- Clockwise Rotation

Series 150B -- Bidirectional Rotation
(Clockwise Typical -- Hi-Efficiency Clockwise Option Available)

Series 200 -- Bidirectional Rotation
(Clockwise Typical)

Series 250 -- Bidirectional Rotation
(Clockwise Typical)

Series 150B, 200 & 250 NOTE:
When operating a 150B, 200 or 250 series Generator in CCW rotation mode, a thread-locking chemical adhesive should be used to insure Power Generator Drive Shaft Nut to Drive Shaft fastener connection integrity.
Optionally, for high vibration applications, an anaerobic stud/bearing fixing adhesive can also be used to insure secure and continuous, Drive Pulley to Cooling Fan and Drive Pulley to Power Generator Drive Shaft Nut contact.
Generator Cooling High Efficiency Forced Air, External Fan (rear to front air flow)

NOTE:
An auxiliary electric forced air cooling system is available that will allow ducting of cool air from outside a hot engine compensating to the rear of the generating unit. Highly recommended for applications where overheating is a potential problem
Expected Minimum Time Before Moving Component Failure 40,000 hours
Periodic Maintenance Requirement None -- other than cleaning, as necessary to remove oils, chemicals, and/or corrosive materials in cases where maintaining a clean operating environment is not possible. NOTE:
Cleaning (mild dish washing soap with fresh water and/or compressed air) may be required if operating in very dirty conditions, or if chemical contamination occurs.
Rotor Current Required
(for Full Power Charging)		 12 volts -- 7 amps. maximum
24 volts -- 4 amps. maximum
Voltage Regulator Type Required

ANY A Circuit, or B Circuit (or type N, or type P) high current solid state external voltage regulator

OR

a ZENA model WC.VR Universal Voltage/Current Regulator used in combination with one, or more, ZENA WC.12 Power Control Modules

OR

a ZENA model WC.VR2 Universal Voltage/Current Regulator (w/ Over Temperature Sensing) used in combination with one, or more, ZENA WC.12 Power Control Modules

OR

a custom designed OEM control system conforming to guidelines provided by ZENA, Inc.

NOTE:
In applications where long term high current demands exist, and/or where very large battery banks are in place, and/or where batteries with very low battery impedance loads are employed, active protection methods should be employed. Such devices include regulators which limit maximum charging current and/or sophisticated voltage regulators which monitor and regulate alternator temperature (such as our ZENA model WC.VR2), output/charging lead temperature, and battery temperature should be employed.
Tachometer Signal Output

(Available as an Extra Cost Factory Option)		 150 Series --> Available (+US$50)

200 Series --> Available (+US$60)

250 Series --> Available (+US$65)

 NOTE:
Tachometer Output can be in the form of EITHER an AC Stator Tap, a rectified + Stator Tap, or a rectified - Stator Tap.
Signal output is an insulated #10 terminal post installed on the rear of the generator case (un-fused).
Check with your tachometer manufacturer to determine the sort of signal expected for proper operation.
Suggested Retail Prices

(Shipping cost NOT included)		 SR150.12 --> US$350

SR150.24 --> US$400

SR150B.12 --> US$450

SR150B.24 --> US$505

SR200.12 --> US$675

SR200.24 --> US$740

SR250.12 & ER350 --> US$1,105
