Wiring the EmerGen Switch to the Load Center

1.

From your plan, locate the circuit breaker that is to be connected to the

EmerGen Switch circuit “A”. Turn that circuit breaker to the OFF position. Loosen

the lug securing the wire and remove the wire.

WARNING: Your generator must be properly grounded and the neutral un-bonded

at the generator. Please refer to the generator manual for grounding instructions.

It is always recommended that users always disconnect the generator plug from

the EmerGen Transfer Switch when not in use.

2.

Find both the red and black EmerGen Switch wires labeled “A”. Using good

workmanship, route both of these wires close to the selected circuit breaker.

a) The red EmerGen Switch “A” wire is

trimmed, stripped and installed into

the circuit breaker, securely

tightening the breaker lug.

b) The black EmerGen Switch “A” wire

and the hot wire from the circuit

breaker (removed in step 1) are

placed up the side of the load

center together.

c) After removing 5/8” of the insulation

from the black EmerGen Switch “A”

wire, insert both wires into a yellow

wire connector. Twist the

connector tightly and push the

wires back into the wiring

compartment of the load center.

3.

Repeat step 2 for each 120

volt circuit. See the following section

for the installation of 240 volt

circuits.
