Electronic wattmeter (suffix -AE and -CE models). Two sets of LED readouts (a long
and a short) appear on the face of the meter. The left set applies to the circuits shown in
the left box above, with the longer scale indicating the total wattage supplied from the
generator to those circuits, and the shorter scale indicating the relative generator output
voltage on those circuits. In a similar manner, the right set applies to those circuits shown
in the right box above. A green readout indicates that voltage and amperage are within
an acceptable range. In addition, a “mains on” indicator appears in the upper left corner,
and will be lit when utility power is available and the main circuit breaker in the load center
is in the “on” position. The generator must also be connected and running for the “mains
on” indicator to operate properly.

Installation Instructions

Preparing for Installation

You will need the following items:

Electric drill
Screwdriver
Wire cutters/stripper
Hammer
Four anchors and screws
6 or 10 yellow wire connectors (depending on the model)
4 red wire connectors for the 20A and 30A hard-wire models

The following five steps generally apply to all transfer switch installations. The transfer
switch may be installed on either side of the load center.

1. Turn off the main circuit breaker in the load center to ensure your

safety.

Danger: All current-carrying parts on the LINE side of the main
are still live

2. Remove the cover of the load center.

3. Locate and remove a knockout (ko)

in the bottom of the load center
(Figure 2). Use a 3/4" ko for 6-circuit
models, and a 1" ko for 10-circuit
models.

4. Insert the wires extending from the

end of the flexible conduit through
the ko. Attach the conduit connector
securely with the locknut provided.

5. Anchor the transfer switch to the wall

using the top bracket and bottom
mounting holes located in the
cabinet behind the wiring
compartment cover. Do not attempt
