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 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.
