INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Installation of this power inlet box and related wiring must be done by a qualified electrician

in compliance with all applicable electrical codes. When used to power a structure, this inlet must be used in

conjunction with a transfer switch. Not for indoor use. When using an engine driven generator, locate away

from doors and windows to avoid the build up of carbon monoxide from the engine exhaust in enclosed areas.

INSTALLING A REMOTELY LOCATED POWER INLET BOX FOR SUPPLYING

POWER TO THE POWER INLET OF A TRANSFER SWITCH OR PANEL

Mount the power inlet box on the outside of the building in a convenient location, using the three holes

provided in the back of the cabinet. Using copper wire only and approved wiring methods run the wiring

through one of the knockouts in the cabinet to a junction box located near the transfer switch. REMOVE

KNOCKOUT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE ENCLOSURE USING A SCREWDRIVER INSERTED

INTO THE SLOT IN THE KNOCKOUT AND STRIKE GENTLY WITH A HAMMER. If using

conduit, pull four color-coded wires (AWG #8 minimum, AWG #6 maximum) -- use green for ground, white

for neutral, and two other distinguishing colors (typically black and red) for the 240V line.

Strip the wire insulation 5/8" and connect the wires in the power inlet box as follows making sure there is no

wire insulation in any terminal and the inlet terminal screws are tightened to 20 inch-pounds torque:

Hot wires to the brass terminals marked "X" and "Y".

Neutral wire to the nickel-plated neutral terminal marked "W".

Ground inlet wire to green screw terminal marked “G.”

PREPARING A CORD FROM THE GENERATOR TO THE POWER INLET BOX:

Using a 4-conductor 50 Amp portable cord suitable for the purpose, attach a male plug matching the

configuration of the generator outlet (typically Type CS-6364N) to one end, and a Type CS-6364N connector

(which will mate with the power inlet in the power inlet box) to the opposite end.

Following the wiring device manufacturer's instructions, wire the generator plug and the Type CS-6364N

connector as follows:

Red and black wires to the brass terminals marked "X" and "Y".

White wire to the nickel-plated neutral terminal marked "W".

Green wire to the green ground terminal marked "G".
