Wiring the generator to the
EmerGen Switch will require
the use of an outdoor Power
Inlet box, an electrical junction
box and some permanent
wiring.
Mount an electrical junction
box six (6) inches below the
transfer switch. Route the EGS
input wires through 1/2” Type B
conduit and into the junction
box. Use an appropriate 1/2”
fitting to secure the conduit to
the junction box.
Install four conductor (Hot,
Hot, Neutral, Ground)
permanent wiring between the
junction box and power inlet
box according to local code
requirements. Recommended
wire size is 12GA for 20 amp
generators and 10GA for 30
amp generators.
Caution!
Locate inlet box a minimum of 10 feet away
from any opening in the building that would
allow carbon monoxide to enter the premises.
Connect the EmerGen Switch input wires to your
permanent wiring as follows:
1. EGS blue (1) to red (hot
)

EGS blue (2) to black (hot
)
3. EGS white to white (neutral)
4. EGS green to ground
Use an appropriate wire connectors to make the
connections.
