MECHMAN Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 K that must be why! Thanks You should youtube the dyno test and post it for us !!! That would be sweet . MLA I didn't have a video camera in the shop, but I did go ahead and snap some pics of the Lab when we were testing some units this afternoon. When we have more time, I'll post up a video of an automated dyno session. The computer interface allows us to run simulations for hours, or even days. We can program any type of varying load/rpm cycles to simulate use on an SPL vehicle, Police car, stock vehicle, etc... We have a thermal hood that can be placed over the unit to simulate a 250 degree underhood environment. The full test creates an output curve by sampling full output from 12 different RPM points. Here is a pic from the 2400 rotor RPM point (idle) showing the output of a little over 150 amps. This is after 5 minutes at full output to achieve a stator temp of 200 degrees. (to test at normal operating temp) Here's a shot of hwy RPM sampling point, cranking out around 250 amps. When the test is finished, it creates a full dyno curve data sheet, which is then sent to the printer and filed under the unit's invoice number. These particular units have been ordered with the integral adjustable voltage option, so we have one aditional step of setting the voltage to the customer's specs. In this case, the customer wanted a hot voltage of 15.2, so we put the unit under a load, and set the regulator. ...and Voila! a MechMan unit is born- and then taken to be foam-packed and shipped. 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnylowkon Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 deffently replace those lead "DEAD" cell batts for some AGM ... i have a street beat 250 amp alt from mech man an i run my a/c headlights and stereo and no diming at all!!! 154 amps at idle ... mechman has one of the best alternators out... it all depends on ur install 250 amp mechman alt Sundown 100.4D Sundown 1500v2 now goin to the cruze Sundown ZV3 12d2 Sundown sa6.5cs X2 Kenwood X597 Trying something new 2011 Chevy Cruze X8 1500v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECHMAN Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Now thats a cool operation!!! Now back to work slacker! I still need a alt for muh benzzzzzzzz j/p on the slacker part If you want to send us your stock alt with some pics of the motor we could build you one, but I doubt you want the down time. 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrairai Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 That's what's up Mechman. I like the way you showed how you test your stuff. You've sold me once again.

missinglink Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 It helps people trust you more when they have visuals. Don't take this wrong in anyway its just a question. The alt in the pics was a cs144 , now I see you have the regulator turned up to 15.2volts. Now this is what our product does for the newer alts with the cars computer issue. So since we (MLA) get stock/HO alts to put out at 15volts. How come we cant work together to help Steve's forum be the best it can be about alt , batt,and charging information. After all if your showing an older style alt before "computer controlled alts" cs144 built for 15v then our module that does the same for the computer controlled cars should be fine as well right!!! Thanks for the pics!!! Chris @ MLA missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps. When it absolutely, positively has to be destroyed overnight - even if "it" belongs to the base commander...

missinglink Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 What alternator is giving you the 15.2 reading? This alt is pluged in. We see the volt meter and the alternator but see no plugs in the alt to run it? Houdini in the hiz-ouse. LOL This alt with the "reading" is not pluged in. Thanks for the pics SMD members appreciate them. missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.
