Honeywell Generator, Installation Manuallines

9

9.  Connect the control wires to the correct terminals. The 

terminals are clearly marked N1 and N2 for utility sensing; 23 

and 194 for transfer relay control; and T1 and 0 for battery 

charge. On pre-wired switches, the 0 (zero) wire will not be 

present/required. 

NOTE:

In order to maintain separation of circuits, the 

DC control wires must be separated from the AC 

control wires. A piece of fiberglass sleeving has 

been provided in the manual kit to achieve this. 

Slide the sleeving over the AC wires OR the DC 

wires, but not both, from the wire landing area 

to the outside of the generator. Use the cable tie 

locations to hold the sleeving in place.

10. An improperly connected control wire can damage the 

generator control board.

11. For 10-20 kW models, locate the metal hasp that is packaged 

in the owner’s manual bag. Insert the hasp in the slot located 
on the left side of the external circuit breaker box. Be sure that 
the clip of the hasp is facing toward the front of the generator. 
If desired, lock the external box.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1.  Before purchasing a battery for the generator, refer to the 

Owner’s Manual for the recommended battery. 

•  Group 26R, 12 Volt, 525cca minimum

2.  Follow all of the procedures and safety precautions in the 

generator Owner’s Manual when installing the battery. 
Verify the switch is in the off position. When preparing for 
operational testing, DO NOT connect the battery until transfer 
switch connections are complete.

SWITCH INSTALLATION & OPERATIONAL 
TESTING 

1.  Before beginning any installation, make sure power is shut 

OFF to the main distribution panel and carefully read the 
Owner’s Manual that came with the transfer switch.

To simplify the installation process, the transfer switch 
should be mounted as close to the main distribution panel as 
possible. Make sure no water or corrosive substances can 
drip onto the transfer switch enclosure.

2.  Always inspect the switch for shipping damage. Never mount 

a transfer switch that shows any evidence of damage.

3.  Protect against impact and mount the switch vertically to a rigid 

support structure. Make sure the switch is level and plumb.

Check local codes before wiring the transfer switch. Some 
jurisdictions require that wiring inside the switch be done by a 
licensed electrician.
