Extension cord recommendations

A

Use an extension cord of an appropriate wire size for the cord length and system voltage. Use a
cord that meets national and local codes.

Generator recommendations

When using a generator with the Powermax30, it should produce 240 VAC.

Powermax30 systems with serial numbers below 30-003132 may shut down and show an error
condition (all LEDs flash) when used with a generator that has a higher than normal voltage
(greater than 250 VAC). To avoid shutdown, check your generator’s voltage regulator for proper
operation.
