If our standard products are not what you need contact our 'Specials Department', we may be able to reconfigure a standard unit to meet your system needs. The specials can be; a modified alternator to provide dual output voltages, a capability of switching off the output drive to momentarily reduce the engine loading, a special version of the X-ALT with different output charging voltages such as our 48 volt version for use on 48 volt alternators where the original regulator has failed or a special version of the X-SPLIT with two independent charging inputs and one power output.
As more and more of our equipment is becoming software based we are able to manipulate the way the units function and as a result most of the X-CISE battery charge protection units sold have been modified for explicit systems. As a consequence we have been able to produce units with more than one alarm level some with delays some with instantaneous switching. Click on this link X-CISE for further information on some of the specials which have been manufactured.

We have in our range of alternators the following; ALT2 14v @ 90A for Nanni and Volvo engines, ALT14 14v @ 110A for Yanmar & Vetus M4 engines, ALT17 14v @ 110A for Volvo & Nanni engines and Alt16 (multifit) 14v @ 70A an ideal alternator to replace standard A127 55A alternators with a higher output and at the same time retaining the same connections.
