Wire nut the black wire to the matching
circuit lead wire from the emergency
circuit breaker from load center in the
transfer switch. (All circuit wires are color
coded and labeled for easy
identification).
UL approved wire
locknuts are included in installation kit.
Trace the black (hot) wire you have just
connected back to the same Romex cable (circuit) to find its mating
white (neutral) wire. Wire nut this wire to the matching circuit number
on the white (neutral) wire coming from the emergency load center.
Repeat this process with remaining circuits to be powered by the
generator.
NOTE: Both grounded and ungrounded conductors for each circuit
must be reconnected to the emergency load center wiring using
the supplied wire locknuts.
The chart below shows the circuits provided in the load center.
NOTE: Circuits to be moved must be protected by same size
breaker. For example, a 15 Amp circuit in main panel must be a 15
Amp circuit in transfer switch.
13b. Install the 40 Amp or 70 Amp double pole
circuit breaker that you have purchased
(See detail on page 6) into main electrical
distribution panel. This circuit breaker
must be compatible with your main
electrical distribution panel.
It may be
necessary to reposition remaining circuit
breakers or remove circuit breakers that
have been disconnected to accommodate the insertion of the 40 Amp
or 70 Amp double pole circuit breaker. Connect white wire to the main
distribution panel neutral bar. Connect green wire to main electrical
panel ground bar. Connect the black and red wires to the 40 Amp or
70 Amp double pole circuit breaker.
14. Recommended battery is automotive type
Group 26 12V negative ground with
minimum 350 CCA at 0° F (7 kW) or a
minimum 525 CCA at 0° F (10 kW, 13 kW
and 16 kW). The hold down clamp is
included. Connect positive
(+) (red)
cable to positive (+) battery post.
Connect negative (–) (black) ground
cable to negative (–) battery post.
WARNING Set the generator’s AUTO / OFF / MANUAL switch to “OFF.”
Turn off utility power supply to the transfer switch. If the AUTO /
OFF / MANUAL switch is not set to its “OFF” position, the generator
can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected.
WARNING If the utility power supply is not turned off, sparking can
occur at the battery posts and cause an explosion.
NOTE: Dielectric grease should be used on battery posts to aid in
the prevention of corrosion.
NOTE: In areas where temperatures regularly fall below 10° F
(-12° C) it is recommended that a pad type battery heater be
installed to aid in cold climate starting.
15. Switch service main circuit breaker to “on” or closed position. Switch
the circuit breakers in the emergency distribution panel to the “on” or
closed position. Switch the generator main line circuit breaker to the
“on” or closed position. Verify that the 40 Amp or 70 Amp double pole
circuit breaker that was inserted in the main electrical distribution
panel is switched to the ”on” or closed position. Place generator mode
switch in the “AUTO” position. Verify that fuel valve on rigid gas
piping is open.
Perform steps in Sections 2.1 through 2.5 of the
Installation & Owner’s Manual prior to testing the system.
16. Switch service main circuit breaker to “off” or open position. This
simulates the loss of utility power. The generator should crank and
start within 20 seconds. Load transfer should occur within 10
seconds of generator start. To return system to automatic mode,
switch service main breaker to “on” or closed position. This simulates
the return of power from the utility. The generator will run for a short
cool down period of several minutes while the entire system stands
ready for the next power outage.
NOTE: When utility voltage source is lost by the generator, the
system set light will flash rapidly.
17. A switch on the control
panel allows you to select
the day and time for the
system to exercise. To select
a time and day of the week
you must perform the
following sequence at that time. Verify that the Auto/Off/Manual
switch is set to “AUTO”.
Hold down the “Set Exercise Time” switch until the generator starts
(approximately 10 seconds) and release. The generator will start and
run for approximately twelve minutes and then shut down on its own.
The generator is now set to exercise on that day and at that time every
week. If the battery is disconnected for any reason the exercise time
must be reset.
NOTE: Until the exerciser is set, all the red LED's will
flash in the Auto or Manual mode.
Your CARRIER Home Standby
generator is now ready!
