Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and features of the Westerbeke D-NETTM electronic diesel generators, specifically the 5.5 EDC and 5.0 EDC models. These generators are designed for marine use and are notable for their electronic governing, digital display, and compliance with NMEA 2000® standards.

Key Features
  • Digital display and diagnostics panel for operational status and system diagnostics.
  • Electronic governing to eliminate droop when load is applied.
  • Safety shut-downs for overspeed, underspeed, low oil pressure, high exhaust, and high coolant temperature.
  • AC circuit breaker and 50 amp battery charging alternator.
  • Self-bleeding fuel system and fresh water cooling with a coolant recovery tank.
  • Anti-vibration mounts and a tuned air intake silencer for quiet operation.
  • Complies with U.S. EPA regulations and offers a 5-year limited warranty.

Design and Construction
  • Brushless, four-pole, revolving design with power take-off.
  • Class “H” insulation and electromagnetic interference levels suitable for marine radio-telephones and standard TVs.
  • Engine components include a cast iron cylinder head and block, forged crankshaft, and overhead valves.

Electrical Characteristics
  • 5.5 EDC-614: 120 volts, 45.8 amps, 60 Hz, 1 phase, 5.5 kW at 1800 RPM.
  • 5.0 EDC-514: 230 volts, 21.7 amps, 50 Hz, 1 phase, 5.0 kW at 1500 RPM.
  • Voltage regulation of +/- 5% and frequency regulation of 0.5 Hz.

Optional Equipment
  • Sound Guard SST for noise reduction.
  • Hydro-hush muffler and fittings, fuel water separator, and anti-siphon valve.
  • Ship-to-shore switch and power take-off adapter.

Dimensions and Weight
  • 5.5 EDC60Hz: Length 33.3", Width 21.1", Height 22.3", Weight 373 lbs.
  • Optional Sound Guard SST: Length 33.3", Width 21.1", Height 22.3", Weight 78 lbs.

Conclusion

5.0 EDC D-NET - 50 Hz-1

D-NET DIESEL GENERATOR TM Available fully networked to NMEA 2000® 5.5 /5.0 EDC Marine Diesel Generator The First Electronic Diesel Generators Available NMEA 2000® Certified 5.5 /5.0 EDC Marine Diesel Generator Westerbeke, the first company to bring constant speed EFI low-CO generators to the marine market, introduces another first. The wave of the future, Westerbeke D-NETTM electronic generators are offered with standard WesterlinkTM or optional NMEA 2000® compliant databus communication. NMEA 2000® is a network for shipboard communications developed under National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) standards. NMEA 2000® generators, combined with other certified components, allow boat builders and their customers to significantly reduce the cost, weight and space normally required to run cables throughout the vessel. All certified components freely communicate and are linked to just one NMEA 2000® cable using “T” connections that simplify networking. Information At Your Fingertips All Westerbeke D-NET TM generators have available digital controls offering simplified and easy to understand information on operational status and, if necessary, system diagnostics. Westerbeke also features “at a glance” illuminated lights indicating proper operation. They monitor battery voltage, generator voltage, generator frequency, oil pressure, coolant and exhaust temperature. All this information may be viewed from a distance — all green lights indicate referenced systems are functioning properly. Further details are available on the screen display. The user may conveniently scroll for operational or diagnostic information without encountering “codes”. Westerbeke uses text so the user does not have to refer to a manual to decipher numeric information. Digital display and diagnostics panel Electronic governing Safety shut-downs: overspeed, underspeed, low oil pressure, high exhaust and high coolant temperature AC circuit breaker 50 amp battery charging alternator Power take-off interface Self-bleeding fuel system Fresh water cooling and coolant recovery tank 45 degree water injected exhaust elbow Gear driven raw water pump Tuned air intake silencer Anti-vibration mounts – fail safe rubber type Lube oil drain hose and drip tray Oil fill – top and side Belt guard Operators’ Manual and parts list 5-year limited warranty Complies with U.S. EPA regulations Digital Display Quiet, Slow-Speed Digital Operation D-NET TM DIESEL GENERATOR Operating at 1800-rpm with a newly designed, tuned air intake silencer and 3-cylinder engine, the 5.5 EDC generator runs smooth and quiet. Augmenting this desired effect is the electronic governing that virtually eliminates “droop” when load is applied. Include the optional Sound Guard SST with high quality stainless steel base and frame with stylish powder coated aluminu
