Wire nut the black wire to the matching

circuit

lead

wire

from

the

emergency

circuit breaker from load center in the

transfer switch. (All circuit wires are color

coded and

labeled for

easy

identification).

UL approved

wire

locknuts are included in installation kit.

Trace the black (hot) wire you have just

connected back to the same Romex cable (circuit) to find its mating

white (neutral) wire. Wire nut this wire to the matching circuit number

on the white (neutral) wire coming from the emergency load center.

Repeat this process with remaining circuits to be powered by the

generator.

NOTE: Both grounded and ungrounded conductors for each circuit
must be reconnected to the emergency load center wiring using
the supplied wire locknuts.

The chart below shows the circuits provided in the load center.

NOTE: Circuits to be moved must be protected by same size
breaker. For example, a 15 Amp circuit in main panel must be a 15
Amp circuit in transfer switch.

13b. Install the 40 Amp or 70 Amp double pole

circuit breaker that you have purchased

(See detail on page 6) into main electrical

distribution

panel.

This

circuit

breaker

must be compatible with your main
electrical distribution panel.

It may be

necessary

to

reposition

remaining

circuit

breakers or remove circuit breakers that

have been disconnected to accommodate the insertion of the 40 Amp

or 70 Amp double pole circuit breaker. Connect white wire to the main

distribution panel neutral bar. Connect green wire to main electrical

panel ground bar. Connect the black and red wires to the 40 Amp or

70 Amp double pole circuit breaker.

WARNING Set tbe generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUALswitch to “OFF.”

Turn off utility power supply to the transfer switch. If the AUTO /
OFF / MANUAL switch is not set to its “OFF” position, the generator
can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected.

Battery area

dimensions 8" Lx 8" W

A

WARNING If tbe utility power supply is not turned off, sparking can

occur at the battery posts and cause an explosion.

NOTE: Dielectric grease should be used on battery posts to aid in
tbe prevention of corrosion.

NOTE: In areas where temperatures regularly fall below 10° F
(-12° C) it is recommended that a pad type battery heater be
installed to aid in cold climate starting.

STEP 7

READY THE SYSTEM FOR RETURN

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

15.

Switch service main circuit breaker to “on” or closed position. Switch

the circuit breakers in the emergency distribution panel to the “on” or

closed position. Switch the generator main line circuit breaker to the

"on” or closed position. Verify that the 40 Amp or 70 Amp double pole

circuit breaker that was inserted in the main electrical distribution

panel is switched to the ”on” or closed position. Place generator mode

switch in the “AUTO” position. Verify that fuel valve on rigid gas

piping is open.

Perform steps in Sections 2.1 through 2.5 of the

Installation & Owner’s Manual prior to testing the system.

STEP

TEST SYSTEM

16.

Switch service main circuit breaker to “off" or open position. This

simulates the loss of utility power. The generator should crank and

start

within

20

seconds.

Load

transfer

should

occur

within

10

seconds of generator start. To return system to automatic mode,

switch service main breaker to “on” or closed position. This simulates

the return of power from the utility. The generator will run for a short

cool down period of several minutes while the entire system stands

ready for the next power outage.

NOTE: When utility voltage source is lost hy the generator, the
system set light will flash rapidly.

STEP

SET EXERCISER

17.

A

switch

on

the

control

panel allows you to select

the day and time for the

system to exercise. To select

a time and day of the week

you must perform the

Exerciser Switch

following

sequence

at

that

time.

Verify

that

the

Auto/Off/Manual

switch is set to “AUTOI'

Hold down the “Set Exercise lime” switch until the generator starts

(approximately 10 seconds) and release. The generator will start and

run for approximately twelve minutes and then shut down on its own.

The generator is now set to exercise on that day and at that time every

week. If the battery is disconnected for any reason the exercise time

must be reset.

NOTE: Until the exerciser is set, all the red LED's will

flash in the Auto or Manual mode.

Your CARRIER Home Standby

generator is now ready!
