4. From inside the building, feed the end of the 30-foot conduit
(INCLUDED and pre-wired from transfer switch) through the wall
to the outside.
5. Remove the threaded lock nut from the conduit coupling.
6. Lift cover. Remove internal
cover plate screw and internal
cover. Remove the knock out in
the lower right corner of the exter-
nal connection box. From the rear
of the connection box, feed wires,
4-pin and 2-pin plugs into box. Slip
the lock nut over wires and plugs
and tighten securely onto conduit
coupling. Using appropriate fasten-
ers, mount external connection box
over pre-drilled hole to fully conceal
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 connec-
tor. Loosen nut from grounding lug and attach ground wire (green)
from conduit. Reinstall nut and tighten to 45 in/lbs. Reinstall inter-
nal cover plate and screw. Close cover and install lock. This wiring
is complete.

The outdoor connection box must be locked to
ensure safety and to discourage tampering.
7. 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. One (1) foot is the suggested distance. 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.

The manufacturer recommends that a licensed
electrician or an individual with complete
knowledge of electricity perform these proce-
dures.

Switch service main circuit breaker to the OFF
(OPEN) position prior to removal of cover or
removal of any wiring of the main electrical
distribution panel. The wires connected to the
service main circuit breaker remain LIVE or HOT.
Avoid contact with these wires and
the service main circuit breaker con-
nection lugs.
