OPERATION
PROGRAMMING THE GENERATOR FOR
REMOTE START
NOTICE
The key fob included with the generator should come already paired
with the unit. If it does not you can follow the directions below to
reconnect. If your unit was shipped without a key fob please contact
our customer support team.
Always make sure the area around the generator is
clear of bystanders before using the remote start to
start the generator.
The generator can be started remotely from up to a
maximum of 109 yards (100 M) away using the remote
start key fob with new, fully charged batteries in the
key fob. As the batteries' state of charge in the key fob
reduces, the distance to start the generator will also
reduce.
Before the generator can be started, an initial start-up
procedure must be performed so the generator and the
key fob recognize each other. If the key fob is replaced, you
will need to go through this procedure with the new fob.
1. With the battery connected, turn the engine control
switch to the RUN position. The yellow battery light
will illuminate.

2. Push and hold the red REMOTE PAIRING button
on the side of the control panel until the push button
start (3) on the control panel illuminates red, then let
go (see 20 on page 14 for location of button).
3. Press and hold the STOP (2) button on the remote
start key fob until the red light on the push button
start (3) goes out, then let go.
4. Press and hold the START (1) button on the remote
start key fob until the red light on the push button
start (3) goes out, then let go.
5. Press and hold the REMOTE PAIRING button until
the red light on the push button start (3) goes out.
The generator is now programmed to start remotely.

POWER OUTPUT AND DEMAND

120 and 240 Volt AC devices have two different electric
power demands that must be taken into consideration,
namely the running power and the starting/peak power.
Both are measured in Watts (typically abbreviated as "W").
The steady state continuous load is the running power
demand and this is often marked on the device near its
model number or serial number. Sometimes the device
might only be marked with its voltage (i.e. 120 V) and current
draw (e.g. 6 Amp or 6 A), in which case the running power
demand in Watts can be obtained by multiplying the voltage
times the current, e.g. 120 V × 6 A = 720 W.
Simple resistive 120-Volt AC devices such as incandescent
bulbs, toasters, heaters, etc. have no extra power demand
when starting, and so their starting power demands are the
same as their running power demands.
More complex 120/240-Volt AC devices containing inductive
or capacitive elements such as electric motors have a
momentary extra power demand when starting, which can
be up to seven times the running power demand or more.
Manufacturers of such devices rarely publish this starting
power demand and so it's often necessary to estimate it.
A rule of thumb for devices fitted with an electric motor
is to apply a starting power multiplier of 1.2 for small
hand-held or portable devices and a value of 3.5 for larger
stationary devices. For example, a 900 W angle grinder can
be assumed to have a starting power demand of at least
1.2 × 900 W, which equals 1,080 W. Similarly, a 1,650 W
air compressor can be assumed to have a starting power
demand of at least 3.5 × 1,650 W, which equals 5,775 W.
To prevent overloading of the generator's 120-Volt AC
system:
1. Add up the running power demand of all the 120/240-
Volt AC devices that will be connected to the generator
at one time. This total must not be greater than the
generator's specified running power output.
2. Add up the running power demand again, but for the
largest motor-driven device use the value of its starting
power demand instead of its running power demand.
This total must not be greater than the generator's
specified starting power output.
3. The total running power demand of all the devices that
will be connected to any one of the generator's outlets
must not exceed the generator's specified running
power output.
