APPENDIX E – GENREADY LOAD CENTER
INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL TESTING
1. Before beginning any installation, make sure power is shut
OFF and carefully read the Owner's Manual that came with the
load center.
When choosing a location for the load center, make sure no
water or corrosive substances can drip onto the enclosure.
2. Always inspect the load center for shipping damage. Never
mount a load center that shows any evidence of damage.
3. Check local codes before wiring the load center. Some
jurisdictions require that wiring inside the load center be done
by a licensed electrician.
4. Protect against impact and mount the load center vertically to
a rigid support structure. Make sure the load center is level
and plumb.
5. All wiring must be the correct size and type, and must
conform to all codes, standards and regulations. Refer to the
load center Owner's Manual and the National Electrical Code
(NEC) for additional information.
As with any product, design changes can occur over time,
so always refer to the schematics in the load center Owner's
Manual for the required connections and safety precautions.
6. The load center being used contains, or will contain, an
open transition operator. Open transition prevents electrical
feedback between the generator and the utility by only
allowing load circuits to be connected to one power supply at
a time.
7. If the load center will serve as the service entrance for the
house, install the ground to neutral bond. Refer to the National
Electrical Code (NEC) for complete information on grounding
and bonding.

BATTERY CHARGER INSTALLATION

1. The generator battery charger is to be installed in the
generator when using a GenReady load center. Refer to the
Battery Charger Installation Guide for details.
