ASSEMbLY AND OPERATiON
This parallel kit is intended for use with Champion Power
Equipment inverters rated between 2000 and 3000 starting
watts. Please refer to your inverter Operator’s Manuals for safety
rules, start up and shut down procedures, specifications, and
troubleshooting.
The total output of this kit will depend on the rated wattage of the
inverters connected to it. The maximum output of the parallel kit is
the amperage rating of the circuit breakers.
Paralleling Two inverters
WARNiNG
If not spaced apart, the exhaust heat from one unit may
discolor or melt the plastic on the other unit. Always read your
inverter Operator’s Manuals before operating the inverters and
parallel kit.
1. Ensure both inverters are turned off and all electrical loads
are disconnected before installing parallel kit.
2. Align the inverters in a “V” configuration so the exhausts of
each inverter are pointed well away from each other and the
inverters are a minimum of 18 in. (46 cm) apart.
18 in. (46 cm)
3. Mount the parallel kit to the inverter on the right of the “V” so
that it rests on the side without the fuel cap.
4. Place the bracket around the handle and tighten the fastening
dial by turning clockwise until snug. Do not over tighten. You
may need to loosen the fastening dial to get it around the
handle before tightening.
5. On each inverter, lift the parallel port covers, if applicable,
and insert the RED power lead into the RED receptacle and
the BLACK power lead into the BLACK receptacle.
6. On each inverter, connect the grounding wire to the grounding
terminal on the inverter and secure the grounding lugs.
7. Start engine of both inverters according to inverter Operator’s
Manuals. Observe the green output indicator light on both
inverter panels. The light may blink during start up and will
turn solid green when loads may be connected.
8. Connect devices to the parallel kit and/or inverters up to the
receptacles rated amperage. It is best to connect devices
with the largest load first. Allow the engine to stabilize
before plugging in more devices. Never exceed the specified
capacity of the receptacle.
9. Follow the instructions in the inverter Operator’s Manuals
when turning off the inverters.
NOTiCE
If the parallel kit has been overloaded and the circuit breaker
has been tripped, reduce the load and press the parallel kit
reset button to restore power.
NOTiCE
This parallel kit is meant to parallel two ParaLINK compatible
inverters together. Both inverters must have ParaLINK parallel
receptacles as shown below:
