4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Press the
MODE
button (Figure 25) on the Digital
Controller Display and select manual mode (MAN)
with the arrow keys. Press
