ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

Once the generator is anchored in its final position, it is ready for electrical connections. The generator is supplied with two terminal blocks for connection of three distinct electrical circuits; main line output power, utility power input and generator start signal. Main line output power is the electrical output of the generator, utility input powers the battery charger and optional block heater devices and the generator start signal is the interface with an Automatic Transfer Switch that allows the generator to operate automatically upon a utility power outage.

DANGER

•Improper installation can damage your electrical system and cause property damage, serious personal injury or death. Installation MUST be performed by a licensed electrician and plumber, or gas technician and installation MUST comply with all applicable building and electrical codes. Some areas may require building permits and/or detailed sight inspections prior to approving the unit for operation.

MAIN LINE OUTPUT POWER

The output circuit of the generator is 4-wire, 240V, rated for the amperage as shown on the generator nameplate. Connection to the transfer switch requires two leads, commonly referred to as "hot" leads (L1 & L2), a neutral (N), and ground lead. Positions of these leads are labeled on the main line output terminal block, also shown in Fig. A. Select proper power output wire sizes according to allowable ampacities given in Table 310-16 of the latest revision of The National Electric Code(NFPA 70). To connect the wires, strip the insulation back approximately ½" from the end of the wire, insert the stripped end into the terminal block, then torque the terminal block screw to 35 in-lbs (4.0 N-m).

WARNING

•In case of accidents caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.
