GENERATOR COMPATIBILITY
• This unit can be installed on all 2008 and later air-cooled home standby units with an LCD
display and all 2010 and later liquid-cooled gaseous fuel standby units. The unit can also be
used on 2013 and later Evolution controlled liquid-cooled diesel fuel standby units.
• Certain liquid-cooled units require the use of adapter harness (model 006665-0). These units
are as follows:
- All Protector Series and QT generators that do not have a pre-stamped mounting location.
- Units larger than 60kW.
Note: The adapter harness is recommended, but not required on units 60kW and below.

GENERATORS
The following steps illustrate how to mount the generator side transceiver to an air-cooled generator.
For liquid-cooled generator applications, an adaptor kit is required and comes with additional
instructions.
NOTE:
The generator battery will be disconnected and reconnected during the installation
process which may result in an “Inspect Battery” warning being displayed on the
generator controller. This is normal and is no cause for concern; simply clear the warning
from the generator controller following the operating instructions for the generator
controller. The time and date will also need to be reset once the starting battery is
reconnected.
1. Remove the T1 fuse from the transfer switch.
2. Unlock both locks and open the top lid of the generator.
3. Set the generator to the OFF mode.
4. Remove the 7.5 Amp control panel fuse.
5. Remove the front access panel from the enclosure.
6. Disconnect the negative (-) black battery cable. Then, disconnect the positive red (+) cable.
7. If applicable, turn OFF the main breaker in your home's utility breaker electrical panel. This is
necessary if installation is being performed after the generator has been connected to utility
power.
NOTE:
There are different controller configurations for various model years. Follow the next steps
related to your generator depending on the model year.
