Connections to the Generator
RTG-EZ Switch (The RTG16EZA3 switch is NOT Prewired)
 Determine where the 30-foot flexible conduit will pass thru the building to connect to the outdoor
connection box.
 Drill a pilot hole to mark the location; then drill the appropriate sized hole with a hole saw.
 Then route the 30-foot conduit along the ceiling/floor joists and wall studs to the hole.
 The 30-foot flexible conduit may be lengthened a maximum of 15 feet using the same conductor size
and conduit diameter.
 If more than 45 feet is required, replace the entire whip with the appropriate conductor and conduit.
 The 5-foot conduit cannot be lengthened either and must be replaced if longer length is required.
Connecting from Inside to Outside
 From inside the building, feed the end of the 30-foot conduit thru the hole.

Remove the internal cover plate from the outdoor connection box, remove the knockout in the lower
right corner of the box and feed the 30-foot conduit wires into the box.
 Attach the conduit to the box; mount the box to the outside wall to conceal the hole.

Use silicone caulk to seal the hole from the inside and outside of the building; also caulk around the
edges of the box to seal it to the building.

Connect to lugs black to black, white to white and red to red, torque to 20 in-lbs. Snap the 4 pin and 2
pin connectors together.
 Attach ground wire (Grn) from the conduit to the ground lug, torque to 45 in-lbs.
