INSTALLATION

Generator AC Connection System

A single-phase, three-wire AC connection system is used in the Home Generator System. The stator assembly consists of a pair of stationary windings with two leads brought out of each winding. The junction of leads 22 and 33 forms the neutral lead, as shown schematically and as wiring diagram in Figure 10. A complete schematic and wiring diagram can be found in the illustrated parts list manual.

NOTE: Neutral is not bonded to ground at generator.

Grounding the Generator

Ground the Home Generator System per applicable codes, standards, and regulations. The generator GND lug is located inside the control panel door under the circuit breaker cover.

Utility Circuit Connection

"240V Utility" leads must be routed in conduit. Functions are briefly described as follows:

"240V Utility" delivers power to the generator’s circuit board, optional battery and oil warmer, charge the battery and when utility is lost the generator will start.

Using provided 2 pole connector and installer-supplied minimum 300V, 14 AWG copper wire, connect each control circuit terminal in the generator to the Automatic Transfer Switch.

Fault Detection System

The generator's control panel has a digital display to show fault codes. It will display a fault code if certain faults are detected in the HGS. An extra LED and mounting plate is supplied so that it can be installed at a convenient indoor location. It will turn on and off in a series of blinks if certain faults are detected in the HGS. The owner will use it to observe the status of the HGS. Consult with the owner for a convenient location.

To install the remote LED panel:

Push the LED through the mounting plate from the front until it snaps in place.

Using provided 10 pole connector and installer-supplied minimum 18 AWG wire, connect the remote LED to the generator control board. Use wire nuts to attach wire to LED leads.

IMPORTANT: The LED is polarity sensitive.

• Attach mounting plate to installer-supplied electrical box.

Refer to the section “Fault Detection System” in the Operator’s Manual for operation.
