Home My WebLink AboutINSTRUCTIONSINTRODUCTION INTERLOCK KIT K-8010 INTERLOCKKlT This manual provides instructions for safe installation of the InterLock Kit onto a General Electric (GE) panel. The back plate sits securely on the face of the panel cover while allowing the front plate to slide between the main and generator breaker positions. The InterLock Kit will only allow one of these breakers to be in the "ON" position meeting the require_m_ents of Article 702 of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70. The installation of the breaker retaining strap meets Article 408.36 (NEC 2008). SAFETY PRECAUTIONS —IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS S,CMNED WARNING: HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR EXPLOSION Sp Lu�B ee��DD� - This kit must be installed and serviced only by qualified electrical personnel - Turn off all power supplying the equipment where this kit will be installed before working on or inside the equipment - Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off - Replace all devices, doors, and covers after installing this kit before turning on power to the equipment - Always wear safety eyewear while drilling or working around electrical equipment FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH SAFE THESE INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1) Disconnect power to the panel 2) Separate plates. Remove backing from double stick tape. Align back plate (P- 8011) around the opening for the main breaker on the front of the panel cover. See Figure I (Do not drill holes at this time) 3) Remove panel cover 4) Relocate breakers from slots 2 and 4 (top 2 spaces of the right breaker column) utilizing piggyback breakers as necessary to create the needed spaces. 5) Install generator breaker in the 2,4 slot. 6) Temporarily remove breakers from the 5,6 slots. Loop the breaker retaining strap (S-1004) around breakers 1,2,3,4 - ''/2" from the front face of the breakers. Align the head of the retaining strap at the top right of the number 2 breaker and tighten the strap. See Figure III. Cut the tail of the retaining strap approximately 2 inches long and install Notice Label (S-1005) around tail. Reinstall the breakers in the 5,6 slots. Verify that the retaining strap keeps the 2,4 breaker in place by attempting to remove the breaker. 7) On suitable surface use included 11/64 drill bit (H-8015) to drill holes in the front of the panel cover through the predrilled holes on the back plate (P-8011) 8) Use file to smooth surface around holes and remove the burrs on back of panel cover. On the back of the panel cover file away paint to allow entire screw head to sit with metal to metal contact. The binder screws (H-8014) must sit flush with the back of the panel cover 9) Insert binder screws (H-8014) through the back of the panel cover, back plate (P- 8011), and front plate (P-8012). Use the binder post-(H-8013) to attach to front of binder screws (H-8014). Handhold binder post (H-8013) while using screwdriver to tighten the binder screws (H-8014). The front plate should slide easily and the back plate should sit firmly. Be careful not to over -tighten. 10) Set generator and main breakers in the "OFF" position and reattach panel cover Figure I Figure IB transfers easily between positions. BOTH BREAKERS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE IN THE "ON" POSITION AT THE SAME TIME. Even with moderate pressure you should not be able to engage both breakers at once. 12) Apply thread lock (H-8016) to all four binder post (H-8013) as per instructions included with the thread lock 13) Attach labels as shown in Figure IIA around InterLock kit and Figure HB on panel door 14) Reconnect power to the panel HIT CONTENTS Description Quantity Back plate 1 Front plate 1 Binder post 5 Binder screw 5 Drill bit 11/64 1 Thread lock pipette 1 Instruction booklet 1 Main label 1 DANGER label 1 Generator label 1 Instructions label 1 Retaining Strap 1 Retaining Strap Label I Part # P-8011 P-8012 H-8013 H-8014 H-8015 H-8016 W-8017 W-8018 W-8019 W-8020 W-8021 5-1004 5-1005 TOOLS NEEDED TO INSTALL - Drill or cordless drill - Flathead screwdriver - Metal file - Accurate voltage sensor CONTACTING US You can contact us by phone at (804) 726- 2448 or by fax at (804) 231-1984 Questions or comments: questions Ainterlockkit.com TO SWITCH OPERATION FROM MAIN TO GENERATOR 1) Turn main breaker to the "OFF" position 2) Turn all branch circuits to the "OFF" position 3) Slide InterLock plate up 4) Connect and start generator 5) Turn generator breaker to the "ON" position 6) Turn on essential circuits one at a time WARNING: Allow appliances to start before engaging next circuit TO RETURN TO MAIN POWER REVERSE PROCEDURE STATEMENT OF LIABILITY Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained by qualified personnel.

NO. PB50 50 Amps., 1201240 VAC /�ELIANCE CONTROLS 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 the Power Inlet Box 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. If using conduit, pull at least three color - coded wires (AWG #8 minimum, AWG #4 maximum) — use white for neutral, and two other distinguishing colors (typically black and red) for the 240V line. If not using conduit or if otherwise required, include a green wire as a separate ground wire. Strip the wire insulation 5/8" (do not tin conductors) 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 35 inch -pounds torque using a 5/32 AIlen wrench : 240 Volt line wires to the brass terminals marked "X" and "Y". White wire to the nickel -plated neutral terminal marked' W ' Green power inlet wire to green ground screw terminal on inside of cabinet. If required, green wire to green ground screw terminal on inside of cabinet. Installing a inaction box and cord connector The cord assembly from the junction box to the transfer switch power inlet is to be made of four -conductor cord suitable for a 50 Amp, load. The insulation on each of the wires is colored to identify with the standardized coding in plugs and receptacles. Wire colors are usually white, green, black, and red. One end of the cord will be connected to the wires in the junction box, and the opposite end will be connected to a Type CS-6364N (such as the Reliance Cat. No. LL550C) connector which will mate with the power inlet on the face of the transfer switch. Remove one junction box knockout and insert a cord grip and the cord. Connect the wires in the junction box as follows: Red and black cord wires to 240V line wires from the power inlet box. White cord wire to the white neutral wire from the power inlet box. Green cord wire to junction box ground screw. Green wire from power inlet box, if required, to junction box ground screw. Following the wiring device manufacturer's instructions, wire the 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". A diagram of the above arrangement is shown below. It is not necessary to detach the connector from the swtich or panel when generator is not in use, and for convenience may be left in place at all times. Installation will generally be as described above, except that the wiring can be run directly to the transfer switch or panel. Wire connections are to be made at the transfer switch or panel according to manufacturer's instructions. 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 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 CS-6364N connector as follows: Red and black wires to the brass terminals marked " V and "Y". White wire to the nickel -plated neutral terminal marked "W". Green wire to the green ground terminal marked "G". crmnecrae RELIANCE CONTROLS CORPORATION / 2001 YOUNG COURT / RACINE, WI 53404 / (262) 634-6155 9-8-14
