INSTALLATION
a. Connect the Shore Power Cord leads to the Normally Closed (NC) contacts T-5 and T-6 of the
Transfer Relay. The pre-wired 15 A cord (1, Fig1) and NEMA5-15 plug (2, Fig 1) can be used for
15 A service (If it is required to be connected to a 30 A service, this cord should be replaced
with a 30 A cord).
b. Connect the generator leads to the Normally Open (NO) contacts T3 and T4 of the Transfer
Relay .If convenient, use the knockout and the ¾” cable clamp provided – marked “Shore” (4,
Fig 1). Otherwise, use any other convenient knockout with corresponding cable clamp.
c Connect the Breaker Panel to the Common Contacts T1 and T2 of the Transfer Relay.
d. The time delay circuit should be energized. The DIP switch SW1 (Fig 2) should be in the “off ”
position (marked “1”).
Testing of the operation (Fig 5)
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE TESTING THE
OPERATION
a. Plug in the power cord. If the main panel circuit breakers are switched on, the RV load should
operate normally. Unplug the power cord.
b. Start the generator. There is a pre-programmed 20 to 25 second delay in the transfer switch.
The delay is designed to allow the generator a brief warm-up period. When the delay
completes its cycle the switch should engage and the RV load should operate normally. An
audible click should sound as the switch engages.
c. Shut down the generator. As the generator winds down the switch should disengage without
chatter or cycling. An audible click should sound as the switch disengages.
d. Plug in the power cord. Start the generator. After the pre-programmed delay, the switch
should transfer power automatically from the power cord to the generator. Listen for the
audible click as the switch transfers. Green LED1 will be lighted indicating that the relay has
energized. Shut down the generator and unplug the power cord.
