Grounding the System

Installer-supplied minimum 10AWG stranded copper wire

is connected to the generator housing GND lug and routed

through conduit to the Automatic Transfer Switch's GND

bus. Continue the IOAWG wire through conduit to the

main distribution panel ground bus.Torque all wire

connections/fasteners to values recommended in Figure IS.

Generator grounding rod is used ONLY if required

by local code.

Control circuit interconnections consist of "Utility" and

"Load" leads, plus leads "I 5","205", and "206".These seven

signal leads must be routed in conduit that is separate from

theAC power leads. Control lead functions are briefly

described as follows:

• "Utility I" and "Utility 2" deliver utility power to the

generator's circuit board.

• "Load I" and "Load 2" are used to operate the exercise

timer on the generator's circuit board.

• Leads "15","205", and "206" supply control signals to the

Automatic Transfer Switch.

Using installer-supplied minimum 14 AWG stranded copper

wire, connect each control circuit terminal in the generator

to its corresponding terminal in the Automatic Transfer

Switch.Torque all wire connections/fasteners to values

recommended in Figure 15.

Fault Detection System

The light on the control panel is referred to as the

Diagnostic LED. It will turn on and off in a series of blinks if

certain problems are detected in the HGS.An extra LED

and mounting plate is supplied so that it can be installed at a

convenient inside location.The owner will use it to observe

the status of the HGS.

To install the remote LED panel:

• Apply the supplied decal.

• Pull the LED through the mounting plate from the back

until it snaps in place.

• Using minimum IBAWG wire, connect the remote LED

to the generator control panel using supplied pin

connectors. Use wire nuts to attach wire to LED leads.

• Attach mounting plate to installer-supplied low voltage

electrical box.

Refer to the section "Fault Detection System" in the

Owner's Manualfor operation.

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch

The most important control on the generator is the

"AUTO/OFF/MANUAL" switch.This three-position

switch will be referred to herein as

"AUTOIOFFIMANUAL", and is used as follows:

• "AUTO" position is the normal operating position. If a

utility power outage is sensed,the system will start the

generator, let it reach operating temperature, then

connect generator power to the transfer switch.When
