6.If unit is to be used in parallel with another unit, interconnect the units. Interconnect the output buses with suitable power cables to carry full load capacity. Special male-to-male Camlok cables will be needed. For 480 V mode, it is recommended that one 4/0 cable per phase, neutral and ground be used. For 208V mode, use two 4/0 cables per phase and neutral and one 4/0 cable for ground. Also connect the parallel communication cables.

7.Connect the load to the receptacles on the Camlok/ Voltage Output Panel. When the camloks are inserted into the outlet connector, rotate clockwise until they are locked in place. Make sure the camloks are connected securely.

8.Press the MODE button (Figure 25) on the Digital Controller Display and select manual mode (MAN) with the arrow keys. Press Enter key when MAN is highlighted on the screen.

2.The engine will go to idle mode.

3.Listen for any abnormal noises. If any abnormalities exist, shut down the engine and correct the problem.

4.To bypass idle mode, press the START button again. The generator should go to full speed.

NOTICE

If START button is not pressed again, the engine will remain in idle mode for about an hour then will go to full speed.

5.Verify that the no-load frequency reading on the control panel frequency display is approximately 60 Hz (1800 rpm).

6.Verify that the voltage reading on the control panel AC voltmeter display matches the voltage selector switch position that was selected prior to startup.

7.Press the GCB control button on the controller (Figure 27) to close circuit breaker.
