Section 210.12 requires that AFCI protection be provided on
branch circuits that supply outlets (receptacle, lighting, etc.)
in dwelling bedrooms. The requirement is limited to 15 and 20
ampere, 125 volt circuits. There is no prohibition against providing
AFCI protection on other circuits or in locations other than
bedrooms. Because circuits are often shared between a bedroom
and other areas such as closets and hallways, providing AFCI
protection on the complete circuit would comply with 210.12.
If during the installation of the home standby system the decision
is made to provide back up power to a bedroom branch circuit,
then the circuit breaker in the transfer switch should be replaced
with an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter.
It is most important that breakers only be switched like for like.
For instance, if replacing a 15A breaker, it MUST be replaced with
a 15A AFCI breaker. Likewise, a 20A breaker MUST be replaced
with a 20A AFCI.
These AFCI breakers are available at the nearest hardware store.

SITE PREPARATION AND GENERATOR
PLACEMENT
1. Locate the mounting area as close as possible to the transfer
switch and fuel supply.
Leave adequate room around the area for service access
(check local code), and place high enough to keep rising
water from reaching the generator.
Choose an open space that will provide adequate and
unobstructed airflow (see the “Location” section in the
Owner’s Manual).
