  • Page 4 Unlike typical portable generator sets which run at a constant engine speed (usually 3,600 RPM), the AuraGen systems produces clean, pure sine wave, 60 or 50 Hz electrical power at any en- gine RPM. The output voltage and frequency will not fluctuate due to momentary or sustained changes in engine speed.

    All-AC: Provides 120 VAC power to GFI outlets and/or 240 volt outlets. An optional remote power strip with 120 VAC and/or 120/240 VAC service is also offered. AC/DC: Provides 120 VAC power to GFI outlets and 14 or 28 VDC connected to the vehicle batteries.
  • Page 11 All-DC: Provides 14 or 28 VDC to auxiliary batteries. No AC service is available. Inverter Charger System (ICS): Provides 120 or 240 VAC and 14 or 28 VDC power with or without engine running. An optional remote power strip with 120 or 240 VAC service is also offered.

  • Page 12: Safety Precautions

    • DO NOT change pulley types or sizes as the Induction Power Source could exceed its 12,000 RPM limit resulting in possible component and/or system failure. • DO NOT open or dismantle the AuraGen Induction Power Source, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), or any other components of the AuraGen system.

  • Page 13: Exhaust Gases

    • Use extreme caution when working with live electrical components. High voltage can cause injury or death. • DO NOT connect the AuraGen Electronic Control Unit (ECU) directly to any building electrical system. Differing voltages between the AuraGen and the utility line create a potential for elec- trocution or property damage.

  • Page 14: General Operating Instructions

    1. The AuraGen Control Panel is typically located under the dashboard. 2. When the engine is started the AuraGen system will automatically start. 3. Verify that the green POWER LED illuminates. The POWER LED will flash at first as the system engages, then remain on continuously indicating proper operation.

    AC power ON and OFF. It has four LED lights labeled BAT for auxiliary battery(s), GEN for AuraGen, CHG for battery charger, and AC for AC out- put. All LEDs are system-active dependent and combine to indicate ICS and component operational status.

    Park mode. Depending upon the vehicle and engine type, the engine RPM will increase to a constant level similar to engagement of an air conditioning compressor . If the AuraGen is operated at very high power levels for extended periods of time, the engine RPM will in- crease by up to 200 RPM to compensate for the increase in system temperature.

    PUTTING YOUR AURAGEN SYSTEM TO USE Your AuraGen System is a useful mobile source of 120/240 volt AC and 14/28 volt DC power, as specified from your AuraGen model. This means, within the limitations of its generating capacity, you can use it to power most electrical appliances, machines, or equipment.

  • Page 18: Typical Auragen Applications

    Laser Measuring Equipment POWER CAPACITY While your AuraGen system can serve as a reliable substitute for commercial power, it can only do so within the limitations of its maximum output capacity. For example, the G5000 system provides standby power of up to 6,000 watts with surge capacity of 7,200 watts for 2 seconds.

  • Page 19: Wattage Requirements For Typical Appliances And Tools

    G5000 which is 6,000 watts for up to 20 minutes (standby). If your AuraGen model is a G8500, you can produce up to 8,000 watts of AC power continuous or 8,500 watts for up to 20 minutes (standby). When using the AuraGen system, be careful not to overload any of the output circuits individually, or the system as a whole.

  • Page 20: General Inspection

    GENERAL INSPECTION Periodically check the AuraGen serpentine belt for signs of wear, fraying, and proper tension. Contact your authorized distributor/dealer if belt shows signs of wear. Also, visually inspect the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to ensure there is nothing obstructing the airflow around the unit.
