Receptacles available on Smarter Tools Generator models
The units with 12v connections will have either lug connectors or a 12v outlet (charging cable provided for outlet).
Note:
The DC terminals may be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries only.
NEMA 5-20R
Duplex receptacle is capable of 120 volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz loads requiring up to 20 A or 2400 Watts of
power.
NEMA TT30R
This RV receptacle is capable of 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 30A or 3600 Watts
of power.
NEMA L5-30R
This receptacle is capable of 120 volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz loads requiring up to 30A or 3600 Watts of
power.
NEMA L14-30R
This receptacle is capable of 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 30A or 7200 Watts of
power. If an L14-30P plug is wired for only one 120 Volt leg (3-wire connection) then this receptacle is capable of 120 Volt
AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 30A or 3600 Watts of power.
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up a few minutes after starting.
2. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity is
adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. (see specifications) If powering exceeds the
generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a
separate generator.
3. Once the generator is running, verify correct power output and simply connect the power cords of 110/120 volt AC
powered tools and equipment into the 110/120 volt AC dual outlets and/or the power cord of a 12V DC powered
tool to the DC terminals..
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE TO CONNECT THE POSITIVE (+) LEAD OF THE POWER CORD TO THE POSITIVE (+)
TERMINAL ON THE GENERATOR, AND CONNECT THE NEGATIVE (-) LEAD OF THE POWER CORD TO
THE NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL ON THE GENERATOR.
4. If using only a 12V DC tool or equipment, turn the 110/120V AC circuit breaker to its “OFF” position.
5.
DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
6.
DO NOT connect 50Hz loads to the generator.
7.
DO NOT overload the generator.
