Q: Can I wire a 2000i and the 2000i companion, using the 30 Amp companion outlet, to a 30 Amp 120/240V 8 circuit transfer switch wired into a home breaker box. by John from Wisconsin on January 17, 2013
A: It is not recommended to connect a 120V only generator system to a 120/240V transfer switch because you will be feeding 120V to only one side of the switch hence not providing power to 1/2 of the switch.
There are 120V only type transfer switches that will work with the packaged EU2000i and EU2000i companion that we offer.
Q: Jim When you have the EU 2000I and the companion .... Do you connect the Parallel cables up first ... Then Start both units... Then connect the 30 amp... RV 120 cable.... Sounds right to you?.. Any other way in my opinion is dangerous and not right... What do you say?? by Frank from New Mexico on May 16, 2012
A: 1. Connect the parallel operation cable between the EU2000i Companion to either an EU2000i or another EU2000i Companion generator following the instructions supplied with the cable kit.
2. Start the engines and make sure the output indicator (green) on each generator comes on.
3. Plug an appliance into the 30A twist lock receptacle.
4. Turn on the appliance.
**If the generators are overloaded, or if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance, the overload indicator (red) will go ON. The overload indicator (red) will stay ON, and after about four seconds, current to the connected appliance(s) will shut off, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF. Stop both engines and investigate the problem.
Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance or an overload. Correct the problem and restart the generator.
Follow the instructions included with the parallel operation cable kit. Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord can create a potential for electrical shock.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance or the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Make sure that the combined electrical rating of the tools or appliances do not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
Never connect different generator models.
For parallel operation, use only a Honda approved parallel operation cable kit (optional equipment) when connecting one EU2000i Companion to either an EU2000i or another EU2000i Companion generator.
Never connect different generator models.
For parallel operation, use only a Honda approved parallel operation cable kit (optional equipment, see page ) when connecting one EU2000i Companion to either an EU2000i or another EU2000i Companion generator.
Never connect or remove the parallel operation cable when the generator is running.
For single generator operation, the parallel operation cable must be removed.
***Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator (red) may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the overload indicator (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.

Works Good But Needs Better Markings On Wiring Or Generators
This is a required item to have to use two generators to run parallel and it works just fine. The length of wiring is good and it appears to be well made. My only con on this item is that the red and black wires are not marked other than a small black R for right and L for left on the end of the cable that you have to struggle to see to know where to properly plug in to each generator.
It says they must be plugged in correctly, but not sure that is really required but with the R and L marked on the end of each cable that is a black rubber where it plugs in and the R and L are also Black which makes the lettering black on black which is hard to view. I just have to remember that the Red wire goes on the right of each generator or Red / Right with the R for red to go on the right side and black wire goes to the left side.
If it would have been better marked, I would have given it a 5 star if the wiring locations are critical which instructions say is important. If really important, they should make it more fool proof by better marking or different plug in for each one to keep from making a mistake. Otherwise, this is highly recommended and actually it is critical to have these if running parallel. I will be marking mine myself.

"Wow! This is wonderful. Great interface kit. Now we quickly and easily connect our little Honda EU 2000 and EU 2000 Companion generators. At last we can run our air conditioner on our travel trailer."
I have just used the EU2000i and not the Companion yet and was very pleased with simple it is to use, very quiet and a great accessory in an area without conventional electric service. Very Satisfied.

Works Well
I read and followed the instructions when I got my new Honda 2000 Companion and RV adapter kit. I paired my 12 year old Honda 2000 with the new Companion and it worked as I expected. I ran the A/C unit on my fifth wheel along with fridge, TV ceiling fan and exhaust fan. I let it run for 30 minutes for a break-in and everything worked well.
I may never use it for camping but in case of emergency I feel confident that it will keep me going.
I use Amsoil in both units just as I do in all of my vehicles and small engines for added protection.

"I researched several sites and this one sounded the best. I am quite critical and cynical (according to my wife and friends) but I was completely happy and satisfied with this company. I knew what I wanted. I got what I ordered in the time they stated and at a great price."
The generator adapter kit comes with easy to read directions and has a nice long cord so you can separate the generators a bit, and with a well made woven cover on the cord so it will last as long as the generators do.
It would be a good idea to have a screw with a wing on it so you don't have to keep a screwdriver handy when you want to put them away. I had to play leapfrog when moving them as I didn't want to go find a screwdriver to unscrew the fastening bolt, but had to when I wanted to put them away.

Expensive For What You Get
The cables and adaptor are of high quality but seem pricey. The main problem with the cables is that they are not color to allow a visual verification that the connection between generators correct. This is something that is easy enough to do yourself but would have added significantly to the overall appeal of the product.
