I finally got around to experimenting with the ATS plug on my DuroMAX XP9000iH units...
The "Power Equipment Forum" posts I previously found here only seem to be partially accurate.
Here's what I've determined for about the plug on my units:
- The plug on my units is in fact a GX20-8 aviation plug which can found bought on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BMYZK9R/
- The pinout diagram is not accurate for my units (see below)
- The starting procedure is different for my units (see below)

If the start switch (The red rocker switch labeled "START UP") is on, then connecting pins 2 and 3 for two seconds will tell the generator to start itself. Once it has started, connecting those two pins again will tell the generator to turn itself off. This is the same as pressing the big round start/stop button by hand.
What are you all using to convert the normal two wire contact from a generator run/stop control to the momentary this needs? I was planning on using an Idec FL1F-H12RCE mini plc but I wasn’t sure if there was a simpler relay/delay timer that could handle it without going that route, I wasn’t able to find one.
