AC Parallel Operation
It is possible to connect two FG2500iS generators to each other, using a parallel cable kit, to increase available power output.
•
Connect PARALLEL OPERATION CABLES to two FG2500iS generators according to the instructions provided with the
cable kit.
•
Make sure the Economy 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 each generator.
•
When engines have stabilized, plug in electronic device to AC receptacle and turn on first load.
•
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.
Maximum Power in Parallel Operation:
Rated Power in Parallel Operation:
Limit operation time to 3 seconds for load requiring maximum
output. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated output.
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.
Only connect electronic devices to the generator that are in good working order and do not
WARNING!
exceed the rated power supply of the parallel generators or the desired receptacle.
• 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.
WARNING!
Never connect generators that are different models.
•
Only connect this generator to another FG2500iS Generator.
•
Only use a FORD approved parallel operation cable kit to connect generators.
•
Do not run generators in parallel operation in excess of 30 minutes.
•
The parallel cable must be removed if operating only one generator.
•
Never disconnect or remove the parallel operation cable while generator is still running.
