INSTRUCTIONS
PORTABLE GENERATORS
l Portable generators should only be used outside and
far away from vents, windows, and doors.
NOTICE
monoxide detectors or plug-in carbon monoxide
detectors with battery back-up in living areas.
DANGER
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a
poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home
or garage, EVEN IF doors
and windows are open.
ELECTRICAL
CHOOSING LOAD AND TRANSFER
CIRCUITS
l With the help of a qualified electrician, decide which
branch circuits inside the load center will use generator
power when the switch is operational. Choose up to six
circuits that include 120V appliances and equipment
and up to two circuits that include 240V appliances and
equipment.
NOTE: If you are unsure about the voltage requirement
for a device connected to a branch circuit, remove
that device before connecting the branch circuit to the
transfer switch.
l After identifying the branch circuits, select corresponding
transfer circuits based on amperage and wattage.
Branch circuits with 15A breakers can be paired to one
of six transfer circuits with 15A breakers. Branch circuits
with 20A breakers can be paired to one of two transfer
circuits with 20A breakers. Try to distribute loads with
similar wattage requirements equally on either side
of the switch. Refer to Wattage Capacity later in this
section.
NOTE: Do not pair circuits if the amperage rating
for branch circuit exceeds the rating for the transfer
circuit.

FOR
Install battery-powered carbon
Only use OUTSIDE and far
away from windows, doors,
and vents.
USING
l This transfer switch should only be connected to a
generator with neutral floating.
l Always turn the generator off before connecting or
disconnecting the power cord.
l Monitor the wattage meters and balance electrical
loads to avoid tripping the generator's circuit breakers
or hindering the generator's performance.
NOTICE
with appliances or systems that exceed the switch
or the generator's load capacity. Exceeding the load
capacity could damage the switch, the generator,
and any connected devices.
WATTAGE CAPACITY
Be certain that the generator can produce enough
start-up and running wattage to power all of the
items connected to the circuits you select. Wattage
information for most devices can be found directly on
the unit.
NOTICE
capacity. Exceeding the generator's wattage/
amperage capacity can damage the generator and/
or electrical devices connected to it.
Starting watts are typically higher than running watts
since some electrical motors draw more power when
first started. Use the watt meters on the transfer switch
to monitor start-up surges and ensure the generator is
not overloaded.
For optimal performance the loads on the left side of
the transfer switch (circuits A-E) should be balanced
with the loads on the right side (circuits F-J) to within a
1000W. If necessary turn off the generator, ensure that
the main circuit breaker in the load center is in the OFF
position, and rebalance the load.
Do not connect branch circuits
Do not overload the generator's
