WARNING!
Never connect generators that are different models.
AC Parallel Operation
OPERATION
WARNING!
•
A faulty appliance or power cord can create an electric shock. Do not use electronic devices that have a damaged cord
or plug.
•
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stalls, turn off and disconnect appliance
immediately. The appliance may have a fault or its rated load capacity exceeds the power supply of the generator.
•
To avoid damage to generator or electronic device, do not connect a load to the generator if its electrical rating exceeds
that of the receptacle.
Note:
It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the
overloading the generator.
Only connect electronic devices to the generator that are in good working order and do not
exceed the rated power supply of the parallel generators or the desired receptacle.
Maximum Power in Parallel Operation:
4.0kVA
Rated Power in Parallel Operation:
3.0kVA
Limit operation time to 3 minutes for load requiring maximum
output. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated output.
When engines have stabilized, plug in electronic device to AC receptacle and turn on first load.
“OFF”
cable kit.
•
Make sure the
Economy
switch is in the position on both generators.
•
All electronic devices should be turned “OFF” and disconnected from generators prior to starting generator engines.
•
Start generator engines. Make sure the green output indicator light comes on for each generator.
•
•
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.
Note:
Most electronic devices require power beyond its rated wattage to start. This additional power is referred to as surge
watts and usually lasts between 2-3 seconds. When an electronic device is started, the red overload indicator may come
on. This is normal. If the light stays on disconnect all electronic devices and stop the engine. Refer to “Engine Overload
Indicator Light” on page

.
It is possible to connect two
XP
2000iS or XP2000EH generators to each other, using a parallel cable kit, to increase
available power output.
•
Connect PARALLEL OPERATION CABLES to two
XP2000iS
generators according to the instructions provided with the
•
Only connect this generator to another
XP2000iS
or XP2000EH Generator.
•
Only use a
DuroMax
approved parallel operation cable kit to connect generators.
•
Do not run generators in parallel operation in excess of 30 minutes.
•
The parallel cable must be removed if operating only one generator.
•
Never disconnect or remove the parallel operation cable while generator is still running.
