The connection between the supply battery and the REDI-
LINE Generator is one of the most critical installation steps.
Choose the correct supply cable size from the following
table. Using the wrong supply cable size will damage the
generator.
Do not ground the negative (-) REDI-LINE supply terminal
to the vehicle chassis. The negative REDI-LINE terminal
must be connected directly to the supply battery using the
proper size supply cable.
Recommended Supply Cable Size
Between Battery and REDI-LINE Generator
Less than 10 ft. #0 AWG Cable. More than 10 ft. #00 AWG Cable.
*Recommended minimum wire gauge for DA12L-1600A & DA3252
with one battery.
NOTE: Damage caused by incorrectly installing your
REDI-LINE generator is not covered by warranty.
Carefully plan the power supply cable route. Do not allow
the cables to rub against sharp surfaces which could cut the
cable insulation and cause a short against the vehicle frame.
NOTE: When attaching the power cables to the generator, a
spark at the connection may occur. This is normal and does
not mean the generator is defective.
The REDI-LINE generator will not run until the demand
start circuit senses a load. To turn on the generator plug a
load into the generator receptacle and turn on the device
switch. The generator should start. After the AC load is
removed the generator will stop in 2 to 10 seconds.
If the generator does not start, or cycles on and off, the
AC load may be too small or the AC device may not be
turned on. Verify the device is turned on or try adding more
load to the generator.
