Silent Diesel Generators

Since 2005 this is our most popular generator. Introducing the Aurora 6500SDE Silenced Diesel Generator. Homeowners chose this model more then any other portable diesel generator because it has enough power to get them through emergencies. It is used to power a fridges, freezers, well pumps, furnaces, TVs and lights. Because it is quieter then traditional generators and produces virtually no visible smoke it makes it ideal for residential neighborhoods.

Many generator companies would have you believe they sell a quality products. Without some quality assurance company and certification backing them up, the claims are meaningless. Electrical devices must have UL, CSA or ETL laboratory testing for safety and to insure performance requirements are met. Without approvals buyers have no guarantee of quality. Certification is also required by law in most jurisdictions.

Aurora Generators is proud to be the only company selling a generator of this kind that is ETL approved to CSA Standard 22.2 No 100.  We don’t just talk about quality, we have quality assurance companies backing up our claims.

Generator Panel

When starting this generator you have two options. You can use a key switch like you do when starting a car or you can use the included remote control.

For cold weather starting, this generator has a built in pre heater.  This means you can warm it up before starting. Warming the air fuel mixture helps it to vaporize in the combustion chamber and helps eliminate any starting difficulties traditionally found on other generators that don't use one.

A digital multi-meter is used on this silent diesel generator. The meter shows voltage, hour usage and frequency.  This new frequency counter shows operating frequency to 0.1 Hz This is a very useful feature. Many computers and UPS power supplies require exactly 60Hz output and since engine speed is directly proportional to output frequency, you can now make these adjustments and monitor them on this display.

Voltage adjustments are also easy make.  Many other companies install theirs inside the alternator where they often overheat and fail.  Installing it outside of the alternator eliminates complicated dis-assembly and makes making fine voltage regulator adjustments easy.

Aurora generators like this one are approved to CSA Standard 22.2 No 100  This means they are built better and electrically sound.  It is a standard few others can compare too. The CSA Standards are far better then European CE or even UL Standards.   It is also a guarantee that no aluminum wiring is used 

Cold Start Pre-Heater Pre-heater can be turned on to pre-heat air fuel mixture for easier cold starting. Warming the air fuel mixture helps it to vaporize in the combustion chamber and helps eliminate any starting difficulties traditionally found on other generators that don't use one.

Remote Starter

The built-in remote control gives you wireless control over the generator starting function. Two transmitters are included. Many other generators made in China use remote controls on frequencies that here in North America maybe used for other devices resulting in poor performance and interference. The ones used by us not only carry electrical approval, they also have FCC approval unlike other manufactures

 

Noise

These types of generators are often referred to as silent. That is because they are much quieter then their open frame versions or a gas equivalent. Aurora Generators are even quieter in competition for a few reasons. Aurora uses higher quality insulation, heavier enclosures and a better muffler system. Two mufflers and a combination flex pipe / catalytic converter is used here. The exhaust is clear and cool. Emissions are cleaner then from a gasoline generator and are safer for the environment. Stinky black smoke something you should only see on other generators.

 

Spare Filters We include a free set of spare air and oil filters. The oil filter is washable and can be reused a few times. Oil changes are normally done after the first 25 hours then every 100 hours for longer life.
