will now register when the wires carry sufficient current from the generator.
10. Connect the neutral wire from the generator to the neutral bar in the transfer panel and the
ground wire from the generator to the grounding bar in the transfer panel
KEY COMPONENTS OF THE PANEL/LINK
®
POWER INPUT SELECTOR (MAIN) BREAKERS. These breakers select either utility line
(UTILITY SUPPLY) or generator (GENERATOR SUPPLY) as the power source for all branch
circuits that have been wired into the Panel/Link
®
.
BRANCH CIRCUIT BREAKERS. For overcurrent protection of each branch circuit wired into the
Panel/Link
®
. These breakers may all be in the "ON" position when on utility power, and selectively
"ON" or "OFF" when on generator power.
WATTMETERS (Optional). Indicate the circuit loads when the generator is supplying power.

Two current transformers, each of which encircle a hot wire coming from the generator, power the
meters.
To insure that your generator will always be ready when you need it, it is very important to run it
under load on a regular basis and to keep the tank filled with fresh fuel. Perform the following steps
at least once a month to keep the generator properly exercised.
TRANSFERRING FROM UTILITY POWER TO GENERATOR POWER
1. Move "UTILITY SUPPLY" circuit breaker handles to the "OFF" position.
2. Move all branch circuit breaker handles to the "OFF" position.
3. Move "GENERATOR SUPPLY" circuit breaker handles to the "ON" position.
4. Insert the male power cord connector plug into the appropriate outlet on the generator. Rotate to
lock.
5. Plug the female end of the power cord from the generator into the power inlet that is either
located on the face of the Panel/Link
®
or, depending upon the model, remotely from the
Panel/Link
®
. Rotate to lock.
6. Start the generator, following the procedures described in the generator owner's manual
furnished by the generator manufacturer.
7. Select the circuits to be powered by the generator by moving the corresponding branch circuit
breaker handles to the "ON" position. Alternate use of larger loads such as furnace motors, well
pumps, freezers, etc., so that the capacity of the generator is not exceeded. Do not attempt to
operate any loads in excess of the capacity of the generator.
TRANSFERRING FROM GENERATOR POWER BACK TO UTILITY POWER
1. Follow the procedures in the generator owner's manual to turn off the generator.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Move "GENERATOR SUPPLY" circuit breaker handles to the "OFF" position.
4. Move "UTILITY SUPPLY" circuit breaker handles to the "ON" position.
5. Return all branch circuit breaker handles to the "ON" position.
