Your new EmerGen Switch will provide you with a way to safely utilize your generator power through your existing electrical wiring during a power outage. You’ll install your switch next to your home’s electrical panel load center and then you’ll connect circuit breaker wires to the transfer switch’s circuits. Once you power up your portable generator, you will manually turn on each switch and that generator energy is transferred as electrical power and goes through the house circuits you have previously chosen. Your EmerGen Switch is easy for a licensed electrician or qualified professional to install, safe for a homeowner to operate, and will work with 120/240V single phase AC generators, factory equipped with NEMA type receptacles L14-20R or L14-30R , depending on the size EmerGen Switch you have chosen. Your EmerGen Switch cannot permit connection to both utility and generator power at the same time.

Your EmerGen Switch has a factory installed generator power inlet. You can hard-wire your EmerGen Switch to a remote rain-tight power inlet box. This procedure is required for outdoor installation.
1. Remove the four screws securing the wiring compartment cover.
2. Remove the four wires from the attached flanged inlet.
3. Remove the flanged inlet from the cover by removing the three screws that secure it.
4. Remove a knockout in the EmerGen Switch wiring compartment and insert wire from remote power inlet box using an appropriate wire clamp.
5. Connect the four incoming wires from the remote rain-tight power inlet box as follows:
a) red power inlet wire to blue wire
b) black power inlet wire to other blue wire
c) white power inlet wire to white wire
d) green power inlet wire to green wire
6. Re-attach cover to EmerGen Switch.
7. Attach cover plate over hole left by flanged inlet
