Figure 1-1. Serial number identification tag
The PIN is a 17-position alpha-numeric that represents the configuration of your
generator and identifies the options installed on it.
The “A” that precedes the PIN defines the product as an Apex generator, and it is not
counted as one of the PIN positions. The 17 PIN positions that follow the “A” are used
to identify the options installed on the generator.
Using the PIN to Locate Information in the Manual
This manual uses the PIN to help you identify the manual sections that apply to your
unit. To begin using the manual, you will need to first find and record the PIN on your
unit as you may want to refer to it frequently as you work with the manual.
Once you have located the PIN, you are ready to begin using the manual.
The manual provides two basic tools to help you use the PIN in locating correct
information for your unit.
• The next section, “Using the PIN to Identify Apex Options”, provides a complete
list of Apex features and their associated options, which are identified by each
position in the PIN number. When appropriate, it also provides cross-references
to the manual sections containing information for particular options. This table is
the easiest place to find the appropriate section of the manual when you have a
question about your unit.
• Throughout the manual, you will also see Configuration Notes similar to the
following example. These configuration notes are placed at the beginning of many
manual sections that provide option-specific information, and they provide
information about the PIN position and option described in that section. These
