The GenerLok™ Power Cord
The GenerLok™ Power Cord
To connect your portable generator to GenerLink™ a GenerLok™ power cord
is required. The GenerLok™ power cord consists of three components:
A. GenerLok™ connector
B. connector for your generator
C. 10 gauge power cord (4 wire)
The GenerLok™ Connector:
GenerLink™ is equipped with GenerLok™,
a unique connector that allows for quick and
easy connection to your portable generator.
GenerLok™ locks in place when connected
to GenerLink™. GenerLok™ is not a
threaded connector. Therefore, twisting of
the locking sleeve is not necessary to ensure
a tight connection. NOTE: GenerLok™
will always be fitted on one end of the power
cord.
The Generator Connector:
GenerLink™ is connected to the generator’s 120/240-volt AC receptacle using
a GenerLok™ power cord with the appropriate generator connection.
Generators have different types of receptacles depending on the type of genera-
tor, the type of power provided, and the size of the generator. Some generators
are rated for only 120-volt or only 240-volt output; neither are appropriate for
powering your home through GenerLink™. If your generator does not have
a 120/240-volt AC receptacle, it is not suitable for use with
GenerLink™. Check your generator for one of the receptacles in Diagram 6.
These receptacles are rated for 120/240-volt output, which is what you need to
run your home. If your generator does not have one of these receptacles, it
should not be used with GenerLink™. Your GenerLok™ power cord will be
fitted with a male plug compatible with one of the following generators
receptacles.
