AC parallel operation
Before connection an appliance to either generator, make sure that it is in
good working order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the
receptacle.
Most motorized appliances require more than their electrical rating for
startup. When an electrical motor is started, the overload indicator (red) may
come on. This is normal if the overload indicator (red) goes off within 4
seconds. If the overload indicator (red) stays on, consult your generator dealer.
During parallel operation, the ESC switch should be in the same position
on both generator.
1. Connect the parallel operation cable between the LC2000i to either an
LC2000i or another LC2000i Companion generator following the
instructions supplied with the cable kit.
2. Start the engines and make sure the output indicator (green) on each
generator comes on .
3. Plug an appliance into the AC receptacle.
4. Turn on the appliance.
If the generator are overload, or if there is a short circuit in a connected
appliance, the overload indicator (red) will go ON. The overload indicator (red)
will stay ON, and after about 4 seconds, current to the connected appliance(s)
will shut off, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF. Stop both engines
and investigate the problem. Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a
connected appliance or an overload, Correct the problem and restart the
generator.
