SECTION 2 - CONNECTING POWER

The Silent Generator™ Power System can be cord-connected or hard-wired to AC/DC power. The Silent Generator™ Power

System must be connected to a properly sized AC and/or DC power source to ensure the batteries are charged and ready for the

next power disruption.

2.1 CONNECTING TO AC UTILITY POWER

2.1.1 CORD CONNECTING

The Silent Generator™ Power System has a NEMA L14-20 (125/250VAC @ 20A) male power inlet, commonly found on

generator equipment, to allow users to cord-connect to AC power. Consult with a licensed electrician to install a 20A

125/250VAC Power Outlet Box (PN 14212) near the location the Silent Generator™ Power System will be installed. Connect

the provided RJB12410 cordset between the Power Outlet Box and power inlet on the Silent Generator™ Power System.

2.1.2 HARDWIRING CONNECTING

A more permanent installation solution is to hardwire the Silent Generator™ Power System directly to a dedicated 20A

125/250VAC 2-Pole circuit breaker in your load center. Cut the male plug off of the RJB12410 cordset and connect to the 20A

125/250VAC 2-pole circuit breaker in your load center following all local electrical code and permitting requirements.

2.2 CONNECTING TO DC POWER

The Silent Generator™ Power System can be connected solar PV panels, wind generating or hydro power sources via an

Anderson SB50 receptacle. An Anderson SB50 connector is provided. See Figure 4. The TriStar™ Model T-60 DC charge

controller is factory set for 48 VDC/48A nominal inputs. Use minimum 6 AWG 90C wire for the DC connection. Please refer to

the enclosed TriStar™ Controller Installation and Operation Manual for complete DC connection instructions.

SECTION 3 - START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Confirm all wiring is correct and connections are tight.

2. Check that all input/output voltages and polarities are correct.

3. Turn ON the DC BATTERY circuit breaker.

4. Turn ON the DC SOLAR INPUT circuit breaker (if a DC input power source is attached).

5. The Silent Generator™ Power System will start in the inverter mode within 6 seconds.

6. Turn ON the 20A 125/250VAC circuit breaker providing AC power to the Silent Generator™ Power System. The system

should switch to charge mode. Please refer to the Apollo Inverter/Charger User’s Manual Section 5.2 for LCD screen

descriptions.

7. Connect and turn on an appliance, such as a hair dryer or toaster, to the Silent Generator™ Power System, verify load

wattage on LCD screen.

8. Disconnect the AC and DC power inputs to the Silent Generator™ Power System. The System will switch to back-up

mode and continue to provide power to your appliance. Disconnect appliances from Silent Generator™ Power System

and reconnect the AC and DC power inputs.

SECTION 4 - CONNECTING LOADS

Loads may be connected to the Silent Generator™ Power System thru the 2-15A VAC GFCI receptacles and/or thru the 20Amp

125/250 VAC L14-20 receptacle. Gradually add load, monitoring the Silent Generator™ Power System LCD to ensure the total

loads do not exceed 4000w in total. If the Silent Generator™ Power System is overloaded, it will shut off and not restart until

loads are removed and then restart after 6 second delay. All loads connected to the Silent Generator™ Power System will be

provided power without interruption as along as the batteries are properly charged.

SECTION 5 - BATTERY MAINTENANCE and REPLACEMENT

The Silent Generator™ Power System uses VRLA AGM sealed batteries, full charged and ready to use from the factory. The

Silent Generator™ Power System should be installed and connected to an AC or DC power source within 90 days of purchase.

While the batteries have a design life of 10 years, long periods between charging (self-discharging), more frequent

charge/discharge cycles and extreme ambient temperatures can reduce actual battery life to 5 years or less. While the batteries

are maintenance-free, avoid frequent (daily) discharging of batteries to more than 50% of their capacity. Under extreme

conditions, occasionally discharging to an 80% level is acceptable. Total discharging will reduce battery life and permanently

damage the batteries. Gen/Tran recommends setting up a bi-annual maintenance schedule to check the condition of the

batteries. If batteries need to be replaced, ONLY use a Gen/Tran approved battery, call Gen/Tran for pricing and availability. Use

of unauthorized batteries will void the warranty and could potentially damage the system.

SECTION 6 – TROUBLESHOOTING

Use the following troubleshooting guide to help diagnose problems. Thoroughly inspect the Silent Generator™ Power System

wiring and cable connections. Correct any wiring problems before performing any tests or replacing any components.
