USING THIS MANUAL TO FIND INFORMATION FOR
YOUR GENERATOR
The Apex generator can be ordered with many configurable options such as different
output levels, input and output connectors, and so on. This manual covers many of
these options, some of which will apply to your generator and some of which will not.
This section of the manual is designed to help you quickly find the information that
applies to your unit.
Note: This manual does not cover all the Apex generators; some units are covered in
other manuals. To make sure that you will be able to find the correct
information, use the manual that came with that specific unit.
Understanding PIN Numbers and Apex Configuration
The options installed on any Apex generator (that is, the configuration of the
generator) are defined by an PIN number that is located on the serial number tag of the
generator. Figure 1-1 is an example of a serial number tag.
