ceal the hole. Seal around the hole and conduit with silicone
caulk from both the inside and outside of the building. Also,
caulk around the sides and top of the box to seal the edges
to the siding or wall. Connect wires to lugs; black to black,
white to white, and red to red. Torque nuts to 20 in/lbs. Snap
together the 4-pin and 2-pin plug connector. Loosen nut from
grounding lug and attach ground wire (green) from conduit.
Reinstall nut and tighten to 45 in/lbs. Reinstall internal cover
plate and screw. Close cover and install lock. This wiring is

11. Locate automatic transfer switch with built-in emergency
load center in close proximity to the main distribution
panel. The transfer switch can be located to the left or
right of the main distribution panel. Two (2) feet is the
suggested distance (see Figure 11). The transfer switch
may be located a different distance from the main panel
depending on available mounting area. Using the two
(2) foot conduit connected straight across to the main
panel is another option. Always adhere to local electrical
codes during installation. Hold transfer switch against
the mounting surface. Level the transfer switch and mark
the mounting holes. Drill the appropriate size pilot holes.
Mount transfer switch with built-in load center to mounting
surface with appropriate fasteners.
