Grounding The Generator; Service Code Detection System - GE 076080 Installation And Start-Up Manual

Grounding the Generator

The generator must be installed as part of a system that
includes a listed transfer switch, with neutral to ground
bonding at the transfer switch in accordance with installation
instructions. Unless mandated by local code, additional
grounding to earth at the generator is not required. Any
Utility Circuit Connection
"240V Utility" leads must be routed in conduit. The "240V
Utility" leads deliver power to the generator's circuit board and
optional water heater. This power also charges the battery.
When power on these leads is lost, the generator will start.
Using installer-supplied #14 AWG minimum 300 volt 75°C-90°C
wire †, connect the two-pin terminal A in the control panel
box to the fuse terminals B in the automatic transfer switch.

transfer switch control board D .

Service Code Detection System

The generator may have to run for long periods of time with
no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped
with sensors that automatically shut down the generator in
the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as low oil
