Low Voltage connections to signal fault contacts and for transfer switch communication are made via a field connection
terminal block in control board area. Compare this illustration with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of
these connections.
System Connectors
A - Two Pin Terminal Block — Used to connect utility 240
VAC from fuse block in ATS to the control board. Connect
only one wire per terminal.
B - Fault Contacts — Use NO, COM and NC to hook up a
siren, light, etc. to alert you in case of a fault. Contacts
reverse state (NO goes to NC and vice versa) upon a
fault condition.
C ‑ Transfer Switch Communication (TxRx and TxRx
GND) — Connect to transfer switch control board for
communication interface using 18AWG twisted pair
wire.
- +LED and GND Connection — Not required for included
wireless monitor. Available for optional hardwired remote
system status panel accessory, #6154.
E - Eight Pin Terminal Block — Used to connect signal wires
to the control board. Connect only one wire per terminal.
F - Power Connection (Line 1 and Line 2) — Power
connection to transfer switch.
G - Neutral and Ground Connection — Connect to transfer
switch neutral and ground

For power output connection (Line 1, Line 2, Neutral, and Ground), refer to the following table:
Power output connections
minimum 300V, 75°C
30 kW
1/0 Copper
3/0 Aluminum
Reference NEC 2011 table 310.15 (B) (16)
Use National Electrical Code for correction factors and wire size calculations.
For utility circuit connection (Utility A and Utility B) use #14 AWG minimum 300 volt wire.
For transfer switch communication use #18 AWG twisted pair conductors, no greater than 200 ft in length, 300 volt wire.
When connecting to the terminal block, fasten only one wire to each connector screw.
Torque terminal block screws to 4.4 in-lb (0.49 Newton meter).
Torque circuit breaker connections to 45 in-lb (5 Newton meter).
