General information

Part 1

Section 1.3

Non-Prepackaged Interconnections

Connect a 2008 and later load center switch

to a Pre-2008 air-cooled generator.

Procedure:

1.Follow all instructions located in the Installation Manual that was supplied with the unit regarding mounting of the switch, junction box, and generator.

Note: When installing a standalone pre-2008 gen- erator, the battery charger will be located in the generator utilizing the 12 VDC trickle charger.

2.Inside the Junction box between the generator and the transfer switch there will be 4 wires coming from the generator and 5 wires from the transfer switch.

3.Using the following diagram and UL approved wire nuts connect the following wires together. Wire 0 will not be utilized for this setup.

Note: Remove the battery charger from the trans- fer switch; it will not be utilized in the operation of the generator.
