System Connectors - GE HOME GENERATOR SYSTEM 45000 WATT Installation And Start-Up Manual

Low voltage connections to signal fault contacts, transfer switch communication, remote LED and auxiliary 12VDC power are

made via a removable ten-pole connector plug. Compare this illustration with your generator to familiarize yourself with the

location of these connections. Count down to the proper pin location on the control board since visual alignment with the decal

can be misleading:

A - T en Pole Connector Plug — Used to connect signal wires

to the control panel. Connect only one wire per terminal.

B - F ault 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 - T ransfer Switch Communication — Connect to transfer

switch control board for communication interface using

18AWG copper twisted pair wire.

iMPortant:

• For power output connection, use #3/0 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 volt

75°C-90°C copper wire.

• When connecting to the ten-pole connector plug, fasten only one wire to each connector screw.

• Torque connector plug screws to 7 in-lb (7.9 Newton meter).

D - R emote LED Output — Use this to hook up the remote LED

supplied with the generator. The remote LED will turn on

and off in a series of blinks if certain faults are detected in

the generator.

E - + 12 Volt DC, .5 Amp Output — Internal auxiliary

power supply.
