Every V500UC2 meets U.S. EPA and CARB Tier 2 requirements for stationary applications, and it's built to accept 100% rated load in a single step per NFPA110 standards. Backed by ISO9001:2008 certified manufacturing, this generator is ready to perform in mission-critical environments from hospitals to industrial facilities.

Engine and Alternator Performance

At the core of the V500UC2 is the Volvo TAD1641GE, a turbocharged, liquid-cooled, 6 cylinder diesel engine running at 1800 RPM with an electronic isochronous governor holding speed regulation to within plus or minus 0.5%. This precision keeps power delivery stable even as loads shift unexpectedly.

Paired with the engine is the Leroy Somer LSA472M7 alternator, a 12 lead reconnectable, brushless, single bearing unit with IP23 drip-proof protection and Insulation Class H. Included at no additional cost is the AL11 AREP auxiliary excitation upgrade, boosting short circuit reactance capability to 300% for 10 seconds and improving motor starting performance. 

The R450 automatic voltage regulator adds excitation ceiling control, overload protection, and underspeed protection through U/f and LAM functions, maintaining voltage regulation within plus or minus 0.5% across varying conditions.

V500UC2 Control Panel and Monitoring

The V500UC2 comes standard with the SDMO TELYS2 Advanced control panel, a multilingual digital auto-start and stop system with built-in remote monitoring and control capability. 

Operators get full visibility into genset parameters, alarms, and control functions, with RS232 and RS485 connectivity supporting integration into larger monitoring networks. A two-wire dry contact enables convenient remote start functionality, making the V500UC2 well suited for automated backup power systems.

A Schneider 2000 amp adjustable main line circuit breaker, three pole and set mounted, is wired and rated for the generator's maximum output to provide complete electrical protection.

Built for Durability in Any Environment

The IP56 rated enclosure on the V500UC2 is constructed from 12 gauge electro-zinc coated steel, treated through phosphatizing, non-chromic passivation, and polyester resin powder coating for long-term corrosion resistance. Up to 51mm of acoustic insulation combined with a 29dB(A) internally mounted critical silencer keeps operating noise low while a vertical air discharge outlet redirects cooling air upward, away from surrounding areas.

The enclosure's modular design allows complete removal or installation in under 30 minutes, and multi-personnel access doors simplify routine servicing of fuel, oil, and battery components. This unit also includes a signal white custom color upgrade, an automatic battery charger kit, and a complete engine coolant heater kit, all installed at the factory.

Why Choose the V500UC2 for Your Facility

The SDMO V500UC2 pairs a proven Volvo engine and Leroy Somer alternator with a rugged, weatherproof enclosure and advanced digital controls. It ships complete with a charged battery, spin-on air, fuel, and oil filters, a mechanical oil elevation pump, and full documentation including original engine workshop manuals. For operations that demand certified, code-compliant backup power with minimal maintenance hassle, the V500UC2 is ready to deliver from day one.
