1. Align the two inverters on a firm, flat and level
surface at a minimum 20 inch apart.
2. Both generators to be turned off and all electrical
loads disconnected before paralleling operation.
Parallel Operation (2 x SUA3800i Models)
Set up and Operation
NOTE:
Only connect two identical (same model) generators
together for parallel operation.
3. Make sure the LOW IDLE switch is in the OFF
position on both generators.
4. The parallel operation outlets allow you to connect
two AIPOWER generators to increase the total
available electrical power. The AIPOWER Parallel
Operation Kit can be purchased. Follow the
instructions included with your parallel operation kit
for proper installation and operation.
5. Start one of the generators and wait until the
OUTPUT READY INDICATOR LED illuminates.
6. Start the second generator and wait until the
OUTPUT READY INDICATOR LED illuminates
before connecting a load.
7.Plug in the 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60Hz
electrical loads into parallel kit receptacles and turn
on first load. Allow generator output to stabilize
before plugging in the next load.
Paralleling this generator to a generator that is not
compatible can cause a low voltage output that can
damage tools and appliances powered by the
generator. Do not connect or disconnect parallel
cables while the generator is running to avoid damage.
Parallel operation gives you the ability to link this
generator to a compatible AIPOWER generator for
combined running and starting power output. Use
only the AIPOWER approved cables for parallel
operation. For single generator operation, the parallel
operation cable must be removed.
NOTICE
WARNING
Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or
disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator
is running. Do not parallel more than two generators.
Use only AIPOWER generators for paralleling.
WARNING
If not spaced apart, the exhaust heat
from one generator discolors or melt
the plastic shell on other generator.
