Installation

We sincerely appreciate your patronage. For this reason,
we have made significant effort to provide for a safe,
streamlined and cost-effective installation. Because each
installation is unique, it is impossible to know of and advise
the trade of all conceivable procedures and methods by
which installation might be achieved. Neither could we know
of possible hazards and/or the results of each method or
procedure. For these reasons,
Only current licensed electrical should attempt system
installations. Installations must strictly comply with all
applicable codes, industry standards and regulations.
Your equipment is supplied with this combined "Installation
and Operator's Manual". This is an important document and
should be retained by the owner after the installation has
been completed.
Every effort has been expended to make sure that the
information in this manual is both accurate and current.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change,
alter or otherwise improve the system at any time without
prior notice.
Home Owner Responsibilities
To help you make informed choices and communicate
effectively with your installation contractor(s),
Read and understand Owner Orientation before contracting
or starting your equipment installation.
To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which
you purchased your equipment, your dealer, or your utility
power provider.
The equipment warranty is VOID unless the system is
installed by licensed electrical professionals.

Owner Orientation

The illustrations provided are for typical circumstances and
are meant to familiarize you with the installation options
available with your system.
Local codes, appearance, and distances are the factors that
must be considered when negotiating with an installation
professional. As the distance from the existing electrical
service increases, compensation in wiring materials must
be allowed for. This is necessary to comply with local codes
and overcome electrical voltage drops.
These factors will have a direct effect on the overall price
of your equipment installation.
NOTE: Your installer must check local codes AND obtain
permits before installing the system.
• Read and follow the instructions given in this manual.
• Follow a regular schedule in caring for and using your
equipment, as specified in this manual.

Installing Dealer/Contractor Responsibilities

• Read and observe the safety rules.
• Read and follow the instructions given in this manual.
• Consult with owner to determine loads to be controlled
and their priorities.
NOTE: A worksheet for determining which loads are to be
transferred and their priorities is provided in Electrical Load
Worksheet, later in this manual.
• The installer may need to provide appropriate rated
contactors based on loads to be controlled.
Equipment Description
The system is designed to control four priority loads and up
to two air conditioner loads that are being supplied by power
generated by the home standby system. This system goes
into a STANDBY mode and does not control any loads when
utility power is present.
The power manager consists of four 50 Amp, 2 HP, 2 pole
relays; four signal relays (300 VAC, 1A max) for central
air conditioner control wiring (two of these relays are air
conditioner lockout). The circuit boards are housed in a
NEMA 3R enclosure that is suitable for both indoor and
outdoor installations.
Two current transformers monitor generator current at
the transfer switch to ensure that generator load does
not exceed a predetermined level. Should load exceed the
predetermined level, the system will shed loads to prevent
the generator from overloading. Loads are added sequentially
when sufficient power becomes available.
The control module incorporates a LED for each relay. The
LED is lit when the associated relay is NOT supplying power
to the load (contactor is OPEN). There is also a status LED
on the control module that flashes when the generator
is supplying power to the system and indicates that the
equipment is functioning properly.
