    EG4 6000EX AC Coupling?

    I run a predator 9500 inverter generator to my off grid 6000EX to the AC input. When it is started the built in CT's are used to sync phases. Hence AC coupling. I am on the latest firmware and software. I DO NOT trust these units in parallel. I am in EG4 battery mode but the display shows user.

    EG4 auto start propane generator?

    I tested the dry contact and here are results. 6000EX inverter set parameter 14 to EG4, Put a multimeter in NO contacts on ring mode, Changed parameter 20 to 95% so it would trigger and contact pulled in for 20 secs/off 10 secs/in 20secs/, etc so it toggles. So you will have to use off delay...

    EG4 6000ex random power outage

    My two 6000EX's smoked after latest firmware update. I ran each in single mode fine after updates and then put them in parallel and it all went sideways. My PV breakers were arcing and would not open. (not proper breakers if there are any) I had to cut the 2 PV strings with nippers to avoid...

    EG4 6000ex random power outage

    It also appears bad reviews at Signature Solar go MIA. (Where is mine from months ago?) These flakey ass units are not 5 star, especially in parallel.

    EG4 6000ex random power outage

    I also have 2 EG4 6000Ex off grid. They run fine individually, but in parallel they seem to struggle to stay in sync as in 180 degrees out of phase. It's like they have no timing reference for the frequency. They hum. I have the latest updates. Occasionally they will change to 110v from 120v...
