Generators / Inverters
If powering the system from a generator or inverter, refer to that unit’s operating manual for
recommendations on continuous and peak load ratings. These power sources may apply a reduced
output rating based on electrical load and environmental temperature. Remember to include the power
needs of any other connected devices (external monitors, recording devices, lighting, etc.) when selecting
a generator or inverter.
