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”. We will use the refrigerator circuit for this example.
Turn that circuit breaker to the OFF position. Loosen the lug securing the wire
and remove the wire.
WARNING: Transfer switch circuits with 20 amp breakers must be installed to
circuits using 20 amp circuit breakers in your load center. Transfer switch
circuits with 15 amp breakers can be installed on either 15 or 20 amp circuit
breakers in the load center.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY TRANSFER SWITCH CIRCUIT ON BRANCH CIRCUITS
GREATER THAN 20 AMPS.
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 an
approved wire connector
and fasten together. Push
the wires back into the
wiring compartment of the
load center.

Repeat step 2 for each 120 volt circuit. See the
following section for the installation of 240 volt circuits.
