Installation Guide

1. Locate area where electrical conduit will enter structure and drill 1.75” hole. Feed conduit through hole,
sealing both exterior and interior with caulk.
2. Seal the hole with silicone caulk. Don’t forget to caulk the hole inside the house as well.
3. Remove knockout in the back of connection box, feed wires through the back of the box and secure the
conduit with lock nut.
4. Mount connection box over whole in structure. Seal around all sides with weather proof caulk.
5. Connect all wires to the lugs inside connection box. Connect, black to black, red to red, white to white.
Connect ground wire to the ground lug and then connect breaker connections.
6. Close cover and lock connection box.
Initial battery connection and controller activation
1. When battery power is applied to the generator and the power switch is in
the on position, the digital controller will light up. However, the generator
controller still needs to be activated and programed before it will automatically run in the event of a power
outage.
2. Battery Connection - connect positive red lead wire rst (+) and then negative lead black wire (-) to
matching positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on battery. Connect negative (-) lead last!
3. Programing the generator is a one-time process that is guided by the controller screen prompts. Once the
product is activated, the controller screen will not prompt you again, even if you disconnect generator
battery. See SmartGen Owner’s Manual for programing
4. An “Activation Password” is required to unlock the controller for basic programing (date/time/delay/
exercise) and to enter into full feature parameter settings. Please contact (800)-###-#### with your Serial
Number to receive activation password and register your liquid cooled system for warranty.
5. IMPORTANT! The generator will not start and circuit board damage can occur if battery is connected in
reverse.
(Before initial use the maintenance free battery should be tested for voltage, if >12.6V, it can be installed and
used immediately; After rst time use or <12.6V it should be re-charge before use.)
When replacing battery, always use the same size battery and number type: 12V, Lead-acid battery.
CAUTION – Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a re. Batteries are capable of exploding.
CAUTION – Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolytes have been known to be harmful to
skin, eyes and to be toxic.
CAUTION – A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following
precautions are to be observed when working on batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves, apron, eye protection and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
Make sure the generator set is grounded. Check grounding strap to make sure the generator set ground
terminal is securely grounded to a grounding rod.
