Wiring the AC Bypass Assembly 
All models other than the “empty” GSLC are equipped with a maintenance bypass assembly. As 
needed, the GSLC can be equipped with a bypass assembly using the GS-IOB-120/240VAC or GS-IOB-
230VAC accessory kit as appropriate. The accessory kit should be installed according to its own 
instructions. Once installed, it can be wired by following the steps shown in Figure 37 or Figure 38 . 
The operation of the bypass assembly is discussed on page 42. A series of GSLC diagrams with the 
bypass wiring (as well as the rest of both the AC and DC systems) are shown beginning on page 48.  
These drawings show the utility grid circuit connected to the bypass assembly. This is the method 
used during factory installation. However, either the grid or the generator circuit may be used. A 
prewired assembly may be changed.  Remove the first source from the bypass assembly and then wire 
the second according to the instructions. Connect the first source directly to the terminals as shown in 
the drawings beginning on page 45. 
NOTE
: Only one AC source may be bypassed with this assembly, even if two sources are present.  
WARNING: Shock Hazard or Equipment Damage 
  Bypassing multiple sources will usually connect the sources to each other, which may 
damage one or both sources. It can otherwise result in power being routed to 
inappropriate places.  
  The internal GSLC bypass assembly cannot be used if multiple inverters are in use. 
See page 42.

To wire the GS-IOB-120/240VAC 
after installation:  
1.  On the disconnect for the AC 
source that will be used during 
bypass, install a wire from the 
upper pole as shown by 
1. 
Connect it to the upper pole of 
the inverter bypass switch as 
shown by 
2. 
2.  From the same disconnect, 
install a wire on the lower pole 
as shown by 
3. Connect it to 
the lower pole of the inverter 
bypass switch as shown by 4. 
3.  On the right side of the inverter 
bypass switch, install a wire on 
the lower pole as shown by 
5. 
Connect it to the right side of 
the lower pole on the output 
switch 
6. Install a second wire 
between the upper poles of 
each switch as shown by 
7 
and 
8.
