5.1. Connecting the Parallel Kit

1. Prepare Generators: Ensure both inverter generators are turned off and cooled down. Place them on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area.
2. Identify Parallel Ports: Locate the parallel connection ports on both generators. These ports are typically color-coded (red and black) and designed for quick connection.
3. Connect Cables: Connect the integrated cables from the AIVOLT parallel kit to the corresponding parallel ports on each generator. Ensure the connections are firm and secure.



4. Verify Port Size: The APV24080 kit supports 240V voltage and has a port size of 10.2mm / 0.4016 inches. Confirm your generator's ports match this specification.

6. Operating Instructions

1. Start Generators: Once the parallel kit is securely connected to both generators, start both generators according to their individual operating instructions.
2. Engage Parallel Mode: If your generators have a parallel mode switch, ensure it is engaged.
3. Connect Appliances: Plug your 240V appliances into the 14-50R or L6-30R outlets on the parallel kit.
4. Power On Appliances: For optimal performance and to prevent overload, it is recommended to start devices with higher power requirements first, and then connect other devices once the initial device is running stably.
5. Monitor Load: Pay attention to the load indicators on your generators to avoid overloading the system. The parallel kit includes 30-amp and 50-amp circuit breakers for protection.
6. Shut Down: To turn off the system, first disconnect all appliances, then turn off the generators according to their instructions, and finally disconnect the parallel kit.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your parallel kit:

• Cleaning: Keep the parallel kit clean and free of dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Outlet Covers: Ensure the outlet covers are properly closed when not in use to protect against dust and moisture.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the connection cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Storage: Store the parallel kit in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AIVOLT 240V 50-Amp Parallel Kit, consider the following:

• No Power Output:
  • Ensure both generators are running correctly and producing power.
  • Check all cable connections between the parallel kit and generators for tightness.
  • Verify that the circuit breakers on the parallel kit are not tripped. Reset if necessary.
  • Confirm that the generators are in parallel mode, if applicable.
• Overload Tripping:
  • Reduce the total load connected to the parallel kit. The combined wattage of your generators may be exceeded.
  • Ensure high-starting-wattage appliances are started one at a time.
• Loose Connections: If power is intermittent, check all connections for looseness.

If problems persist after following these steps, please contact AIVOLT customer support.
