Dual Load Monitor
The dual load monitor measures the wattage output of the
Extend-a-panel™ 120V, 20A receptacles and will display
"PANEL" along with bars and percentage of load. Each
duplex receptacle will operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at
20 Amps of current for a total of 4,800 watts (4.8 kW).
The "TOTAL" displays the wattage output of all receptacles
on the main panel and Extend-a-panel™. The LCD will display
"TOTAL" along with bars and percentage of load. If only the
120/240V, 30A receptacle is used, the LCD on the Extend-a-
panel™ will display "TOTAL" only.
If the wattage output of either the "PANEL" or "TOTAL" is
between 90% and 100%, the text will flash. If either reaches
101%, the LCD display will change to "OVERLOAD REMOVE
LOAD". An audible beep will sound until enough load is
removed and the wattage output is below 101%.
Maintenance Reminder
The Extend-a-panel™ also has a built in maintenance
reminder to alert you to check oil, change air filter, change
oil, and change spark plug. The LED will display the
following screens for the different maintenance intervals:
• "CHECK OIL 8HRS HOLD TO RESET" after every
8 hours of operation.
• "AIR FILTER 25HRS HOLD TO RESET" after every
25 hours of operation.
• "CHANGE OIL 50HRS HOLD TO RESET" after every
50 hours of operation.
• "SPARK PLG 100HRS HOLD TO RESET" after every
100 hours of operation.
You must push and hold the display button on the Extend-a-
panel™ for a minimum of 3 seconds to reset the timer after
each maintenance interval.
Security Warning
The Extend-a-panel™ has a built in security warning that
sounds an audible beep when the generator shuts down or if
the Extend-a-panel™ is disconnected from the generator. The
LCD will display "GENERATOR SHUTDOWN" and sound an
audible beep for 5 seconds. The LCD backlight will turn off
when the audible beep stops.
The security warning can be turned off if desired. To turn the
audible beep from the security warning off, push the display
button to scroll through the maintenance screens until the
LCD displays "SECURITY WRNG ON HOLD TO SET". Push
and hold the display button until the LCD displays
"SECURITY WRNG OFF HOLD TO SET".
NOTICE By turning the security warning off, the audible
beep will also be turned off if the panel or generator is
overloaded.
Generator Shutdown
In order for the generator shutdown feature to work as
described in Security Warning, you must install 4 AAA
batteries (not supplied) into the back of the Extend-a-panel™.
