CONNECTION INFORMATION
Your new Pow'R Gard Generator has all interconnecting wiring terminated at a junction box. All
wiring will be clearly labeled as being load, remote start contacts and AC input terminals and are
to be connected as described below.
LOAD - These connections are rated and sized according to the KW of the generator.
Proper lead wire from these points to the automatic transfer switch (or load switching
device) is mandatory. See enclosed transfer switch information for corresponding
generator input terminals.
REMOTE START CONTACTS - This two wire connection, once connected to an
appropriate switch, will start the generator and perform as described in the remote
start/stop literature. These contacts are connected to the "Engine Start Contacts" of the
automatic transfer switch.
A Two Pole connection switch - normally open, closed to operate switch may also
be used to start the generator.
AC INPUT - These connections are for units with float type battery chargers or engine
block heater combinations. A constant supply of 120 volts AC (or as specified) is needed at
these terminals to power these devices.
Power is not required when the unit is in operation. Internal
Battery charging and radiant heat during operation eliminate the
need for these devices.
It is recommended that units utilizing an automatic transfer switch
with adjustable time delays have the initial adjustments made
prior to startup.
Factory recommendations are: allow 2 second delay on startup, 15 second delay on
emergency to normal.
