AC Parallel Operation
The D2000iS generator has two models that are compatible with each other (Standard and Companion). It is possible to
connect two D2000iS generators to each other, using a parallel cable kit.
• Connect PARALLEL OPERATION CABLES to two D2000iS generators according to the instructions provided with the
cable kit.
• Make sure the ECO switch is in the same 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 eachgenerator.
•
• Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.
Maximum Power in Parallel Operation:
4.0kVA
Rated Power in Parallel Operation:
3.0kVA
Note:
It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the
overloading the generator.
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 8.
OPERATION
• 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.
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.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Never connect generators that are different models.
• Only connect this generator to another D2000iS Generator or D2000iS Companion Generator
• Only use brands approved parallel operation cable kit to connect generators.
• The parallel cable must be removed if operating only one generator.
• Never disconnect or remove the parallel operation cable while generator is still running.
