6EKOD 60 Hz / 5EFKOD 50 Hz

Product catalog summary

Engine Features
The generator set is diesel-fueled and certified by the EPA to meet Tier III marine auxiliary standards. It features a three-cylinder, four-cycle engine with a closed cooling system and heat exchanger. Additional features include a lifting eye, low oil pressure shutdown, high engine temperature shutdown, and a programmed glow plug circuit for cold starting.

Generator Features
The generator includes a remote start 12-pin connector, Class H insulation, multivoltage adjustability, and voltage regulation of ±1.0%. It is equipped with radio suppression and static excited, rotating field design for power stability.

Advanced Digital Control Features
The ADC IId control system is designed for sophisticated electronics, featuring a 12 x 2 LCD display, sealed connectors, and selectable CANbus outputs. It allows remote monitoring of fault conditions and includes a pushbutton dial for configuration and adjustment.

Optional Accessories
Available accessories include an aluminum sound shield, remote digital gauge, siphon break, ignition protected starter, and circuit breakers. The sound shield provides effective silencing and easy access for maintenance.

Generator Ratings and Dimensions
The 6EKOD model operates at 60 Hz with a power output of 6 kW, while the 5EFKOD model operates at 50 Hz with a power output of 5 kW. Dimensions and weights vary with and without the sound shield.

Application Data
The engine is a 4-cycle, naturally aspirated type with a displacement of 1.028 L. It features a mechanical governor with frequency regulation and a belt-driven seawater pump. The fuel system includes an electric fuel shutoff solenoid and pump, with a maximum recommended fuel lift of 0.9 m.

Operation Requirements
Air and cooling requirements are specified for both 60 Hz and 50 Hz models, with detailed exhaust flow and temperature data. Fuel consumption varies by load percentage, with specific values provided for both models.

Accessories and Additional Features
The generator includes a sound shield for noise reduction, a siphon break for installations below the waterline, and line circuit breakers for overload protection. Remote digital gauges and connection harnesses are available for enhanced monitoring and control.
