I know this is a dumb question, but if the PI EMS is hardwired, how do you connect the 50amp connector to the Honda and short gnd to white? You will need an adapter for 50->30->20 so you can plug into the Honda 2000UI, but how do you get the gnd to white shorted? It's not obvious to me. But my BSEE from 1973 has probably expired by now. :-)
Get one of these at Lowes or Home Depot>>>

...and screw a jumper wire from the ground terminal to the neutral terminal inside it. When using the generator with an EMS that requires a bonded ground to function correctly, you plug your modified adapter into one of the 110v receptacles on the generator, and voila, it allows the EMS to provide power from the generator to the rig.

If you are using two generators paralleled together for more amps, you must only use one modified plug end in one generator. Do not use another modified plug end in the other generator.


P.s.
Oh yeah, this most likely does not meet code.
