Startup (Parallel Operation)
▲ Before using the generator, read and comply with all Safety Alerts and Icons.
◊ Before connecting a parallel kit to your generator, make sure you use the correct parallel kit (PH24). See
Identifying the Correct Parallel Kit.
◊ The generators must be OFF during setup; DO NOT start the generators until the generators are properly
configured.
▲ Using the wrong parallel kit damages the inverter which disables generator operation and voids the
warranty.
▲ DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE PARALLEL KIT CABLES WHEN THE GENERATORS ARE
RUNNING. Improper operation may cause irreparable damage to the generators and/or the parallel kit and
is not covered by warranty.
▲ Use only the parallel power cables provided with the PH-24 parallel kit. DO NOT use other cables or connect
to other brands of generators which will result in damage not covered by warranty.
▲ To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the parallel kit should be grounded. Connect a length of
heavy cable between the parallel ground terminal and an external ground source.
▲ If both generators are grounded, the parallel kit is already grounded by a shared ground wire.
To configure and start your generators for parallel power
operation:
1. With both generators o, connect one of the parallel power cables from
the back of the parallel kit box to the parallel power receptacle on the
control panel of the rst generator.
2. Take the remaining parallel power cable from the back of the parallel kit
box and connect it to the parallel power receptacle on the control panel
of the second generator.
3. Start both generators. Allow the generators to warm up before
connecting any appliances.
You can start the generators in any order and use any
startup method.
The LCD on the parallel kit box illuminates and displays voltage when
it's ready for use.
4. Plug the appliance into the appropriate 120V receptacle on the parallel kit, and then turn on the appliance.
◊ The load requirement of the electrical appliance(s) cannot exceed the combined continual output of the paralleled
generators.
◊ Both 20A and 30A receptacles on the parallel kit can provide power simultaneously as long as the individual rated
circuits are not exceeded. If you exceed the rating of the 20A or 30A circuit, the breakers will trip, requiring a reset
of the corresponding circuit breaker on the parallel kit.
