9.If paralleling to another unit and the bus was already energized from another unit (BUS HOT light already on), pressing to close GCB button once would initiate a synchronizing mode. The light above the button will begin flashing, bring the generator into phase and automatically close the breaker. Once the breaker closes, the light above the button would then become solid and the generators would now be in parallel. As load is applied, units will share the load proportionally.

CLOSING THE ENCLOSURE DOORs

1.Close the enclosure doors once the generator has started (Figure 29). Top vents stay open for proper ventilation.
