OPERATION

This kit is intended for the use with Champion Power Equipment inverters with a least one inverter being 2800W or larger (2800+), and with the ability to parallel. Please refer to your inverter Owner’s Manual for safety rules, start up, and shut down procedures, specifications, and troubleshooting. The total output of this kit will depend on the size of the inverters connected to it. The maximum output of the parallel kit is the total amperage of the circuit breakers.

WARNING
If not spaced apart, the exhaust heat from one unit may discolor or melt the plastic on the other unit.

Paralleling Two 2800W+ Inverters

1. Inverters to be turned off and all electrical loads disconnected before installing parallel kit.
2. Align the inverters in the same direction in a “V” configuration at a minimum of 18 in. [45 cm] apart.
3. Clamp the parallel kit to the left handle of the inverter on the left of the “V”.
4. On each inverter, remove the connector end cap and insert the RED power lead into the RED receptacle and the BLACK power lead into the BLACK receptacle.
5. On each inverter, connect the grounding wire to the grounding terminal on the inverter.
6. Start engine of both inverters according to inverter Owner’s Manual. Observe the green output indicator light on both inverter panels. The light will blink during start up and will be solid when loads may be connected.
7. Connect devices to parallel or inverter panels up to the receptacles rated amperage. Never exceed the specified capacity of the receptacle.
8. Follow the instructions in the inverter Owner’s Manual for turning off the inverter.

Paralleling One 2800W+ Inverter and One 2000W Inverter

1. Inverters to be turned off and all electrical loads disconnected before installing parallel kit.
2. Align the inverters in the same direction in a “V” configuration at a minimum of 18 in. [45 cm] apart.
3. Clamp the parallel kit to the left handle of the inverter on the left of the “V”.
4. Connect the 2800W+ inverter.
5. Connect the 2000W inverter by removing the connector end cap and insert the RED power lead into the RED receptacle and the BLACK power lead into the BLACK receptacle.
6. Start engine of both inverters according to inverter Owner’s Manual. Observe the green output indicator light on both inverter panels. The light will blink during start up and will be solid when loads may be connected.
7. Connect electrical loads to parallel or inverter panels up to the receptacles rated amperage. Never exceed the specified capacity of the receptacle.
8. Follow the instructions in the inverter Owner’s Manual for turning off the inverter.

NOTICE
This parallel kit is meant to parallel two ParaLINK compatible inverters together. Both inverters must have ParaLINK parallel receptacles:

NOTICE
This unit should NOT be used to connect inverters without ParaLINK receptacles:
