15Low Voltage connections to signal fault contacts, transfer switch communication, remote LED and auxiliary 12VDCpower are made via a removable ten-pin connector plug. Compare this illustration with your generator to familiarizeyourself with the location of these connections. count down to the proper pin location on the control board becausevisual alignment with the decal can be misleading.system connectorsa – ten-pin connector PlugB - fault contacts — Use NO, COM and NC to hook up asiren, light, etc. to alert you in case of a fault. Contactsreverse state (NO goes to NC and vice versa) upon afault condition.c - transfer switch communication — Connect to transferswitch control board for communication interface using18AWG copper twisted pair wire.D - remote LeD output — Use this to hook up the remoteLED supplied with the generator. The remote LED willturn on and off in a series of blinks if certain faults aredetected in the generator.e - +12 Volt Dc, .5 amp output — Internal auxiliarypower supply.f - 240 Volt utility — Use to hook up the 240V utility leadsfrom the transfer switch to the generator.G – two-pin connector Plug• For 12 kW power output connection, use #8 AWG minimum 300 volt 75°C-90°C copper wire, (ref. NEC Table 310.16,100 ft. Use National Electric Code for correction factors and wire size calculations.)• For 15 kW power output connection, use #6 AWG minimum 300 volt 75°C-90°C copper wire, (ref. NEC Table 310.16,100 ft. Use National Electric Code for correction factors and wire size calculations.)• For Utility Circuit connection use #14 AWG minimum 300 volt 75°C-90°C copper wire.• For transfer switch communication use #18 AWG twisted pair conductors, no greater than 200 ft in length, 300 volt75°C-90°C copper wire.• When connecting to the connector plug(s), fasten only one wire to each connector screw.• Torque connector plug screws to 7 in-lb (7.9 Newton meter).CEDABFGNot forReproduction
