2.1 LOAD SHED TRANSFER SWITCH
(RTSS) INSTALLATION
2.1.1 WIRING AND CONNECTIONS AT THE
TRANSFER SWITCH
Connect the 15B, 0, and 23 low voltage control wires to the load
shed controller connector J5 per the wiring diagram. Wires should
be sized according to the following table.

2.1.2 WIRING AND CONNECTIONS AT THE
GENERATOR
1. Crimp spade lugs onto all three low voltage wires, 15B, 0, and
23 (Purchased or supplied separately).
2. Connect the low voltage wires, 15B, 0, and 23 to the terminal
strip on the controller (Figure 2.2).

2.1.3 OPERATIONAL TESTING

1. If already connected, disconnect the battery in the generator.
Remove the negative cable first followed by the positive cable.
Take care not to short the cables together.
2. Ensure power is applied to the battery charger input.
3. Connect a volt meter across the battery leads. The voltage
reading should be between 12.8 VDC and 13.8 VDC (Figure
2.3).
