GENERATOR READY KIT

USING THE GENERATOR READY KIT WITH ULTRA SOURCE PORTABLE GENERATOR

The GUARDIAN® Generator Ready Kit gives you the ability to hook up a GUARDIAN® ULTRA SOURCE portable generator to provide power safely and conveniently to vital items in your home including hard wired items. Included in the kit is a 5 foot electrical power cord and a 5 foot DC signal harness. The power cord contains 4 wires (black & red), neutral (white) and ground (green) wires. At one end are the terminal connectors. At the other end is the male connector (NEMA 14-50) which plugs into the GUARDIAN® ULTRA SOURCE portable generator’s control panel. To install this option, insert the terminal wire end of the power cord into the bottom of the external connection box through the conduit clamp (not included) from the outside. Allow

about an inch of the power cord insulation to enter beyond the clamp to the inside of the box. TIghten clamp securely. Attach ground wire (green) to the bottom of the box using the supplied ground screw and pre-drilled hole. Connect red, black and white wires each to separate lug Make sure hold down nuts are tightened securely. The 5 foot DC signal harness allows semi- automatic transfer switch operation. You simply attach the four-pin plug to its mating plug within the external connection box. At the other end is a V-type connector that plugs into the 12-volt DC receptacle on the portable generator control panel. Instructions for these items are detailed on the following page (Page 25).

CAUTION: If you are connecting the 5 foot power cord after the 30 foot conduit has been connected inside of the external connection box you must match the black, red and white wires to the lugs of the wires previously placed. (For example: black to black; red to red, etc.) Failure to match wires may result in damage to generator and house wiring.
