Wiring the EmerGen Switch to the Load Center
1.
From your plan, locate the circuit breaker that is to be connected to the
EmerGen Switch circuit “A”. Turn that circuit breaker to the OFF position. Loosen
the lug securing the wire and remove the wire.
WARNING: Your generator must be properly grounded and the neutral un-bonded
at the generator. Please refer to the generator manual for grounding instructions.
It is always recommended that users always disconnect the generator plug from
the EmerGen Transfer Switch when not in use.
2.
Find both the red and black EmerGen Switch wires labeled “A”. Using good
workmanship, route both of these wires close to the selected circuit breaker.
a) The red EmerGen Switch “A” wire is
trimmed, stripped and installed into
the circuit breaker, securely
tightening the breaker lug.
b) The black EmerGen Switch “A” wire
and the hot wire from the circuit
breaker (removed in step 1) are
placed up the side of the load
center together.
c) After removing 5/8” of the insulation
from the black EmerGen Switch “A”
wire, insert both wires into a yellow
wire connector. Twist the
connector tightly and push the
wires back into the wiring
compartment of the load center.
3.
Repeat step 2 for each 120
volt circuit. See the following section
for the installation of 240 volt
circuits.
