Basics Of How The System Works - Generac Power Systems PowerPact 6561 Installation Notes

RTSR/P /C Non-Service Switch

The RTSR/P/C Switches are NEMA-3R and can be used inside or outside
 All of RTS and GenReady switches are compatible with any Generac Air-cooled permanent standby
generator (depending on sizing requirements) - except the for the RTG switches - the 7/8kW is
compatible with 10, 12, and 16 circuit switches, 10/11kW is compatible with 12, and 16 circuit switches,
16/16kW is compatible with the 16 circuit switch. The 18/20 and 19.5/22kWs are not rated for the RTG
switches, use a RTSR/P/C switch and sub panel instead.
 The 10 and 12 circuit switches are 50A and the 16 circuit switches are 100A. The wiring harness power
wire gauge is different in each switch so the output amps in the larger generators may be more than the
harness on the smaller switches is rated for.
 The 14 circuit switch has been discontinued for 2015.
 The RTSB & RTSI switches have Fast Loadshed to work with the Synergy Generator.

Control Wires
All Generac Generators and Switches have the same color codes and wire numbers:
 N1 and N2 (Yellow) Fused 240VAC Sensing for Utility Dropout and Pickup
 T1 (Blue) Fused 120VAC for Battery Charger
 0 (Black) DC (-) Common Ground Wire
 15B or 194 (Red) Provides (+) 12VDC for Transfer Controls (15B older Models)
 23 (White) Transfer Control Signal Wire (held open to ground by the controller)
 Three 5A fuses - F1 and F2 on (N1 and N2), F3 on (T1) protect the sensing and battery charger
circuits from overload.
