Installing 240 Volt (2 pole) Circuits
EmerGen Switch products provide circuits for the connection of 240 volt appliances that are connected to 2 pole branch circuit breakers in your load center. These EmerGen Switch circuits for 240 volt operation have a handle tie included with the switch that ties two circuit selector switches C & D together.
If you do not wish to use the designated circuits as 2 pole circuits, simply remove the handle tie by removing the two screws.
a)The red EmerGen Switch “C” wire is trimmed, stripped and securely installed into one side of the 2 pole circuit breaker.
b)The black EmerGen Switch “C” wire and one of the hot wires from the circuit breaker are placed up the side of the load center. Insert both wires into a yellow wire connector and twist tightly. Push the wires back into the wiring compartment of the load center.
c)The red EmerGen Switch “D” wire is trimmed, stripped and securely installed into the remaining side of the 2 pole circuit breaker.
d)The black EmerGen Switch “D” wire and the remaining hot wire from the circuit breaker are placed up the side of the load center. Insert both wires into a yellow wire connector and twist tightly. Push the wires back into the wiring compartment of the load center.
