Smaller Gensets
For the first time at the 2010 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Northern Lights will display the re-designed M773LW3 generator set, along with the new WaveNet digital monitoring system for its industry-leading lineup of marine-diesel generators. The new genset design enables a 28% reduction in overall volume from the previous configuration while maintaining favourable sound attenuation.
The 9kW M773LW3 features Northern Lights’ new base frame and sound enclosure. “The overall size of smaller diesel generators and integration with vessel monitoring systems are two increasingly important issues with builders and boaters today,” says sales and marketing manager, Colin Puckett. “We are looking forward to carrying this design philosophy throughout our power generation lineup.”
The WaveNet monitoring system is a significant step forward for the company’s range of panel offerings. This system gives the user a digital window into the operation and output of the generator, including important parameters such as the generator output current, frequency and voltage that is being used at any given time. It also provides comprehensive data logging of generator-related events. WaveNet is NMEA 2000-certified allowing output to any number of NMEA 2000-compatible displays and can be retrofitted into existing Northern Lights applications.
