4.0 Operation Without Line Transfer Switch
The following procedure is for operating a generator in the GEM enclosure without a line transfer
switch. Alpha recommends using an LTS for effi cient operation of the powering system.
1. Connect a ground wire from the generator ground screw to the ground stud on the back wall of
the GEM enclosure.
2. Using a 10' outdoor rated (SJW) extension cord (minimum wire gauge for 120Vac is 12AWG),
connect the generator to the power supply's input line cord. The cord is routed through the
generator access doors located on the left side of the PWE and GEM enclosures.
3. Refer to the generator's operation manual and start the generator.
4. Check operation of the power supply. Ensure input current to the power supply does not exceed
the generator's rating.
• Kipor (IG2000)= 12A (derated @ 1400W)
• Honda (EU2000i) = 13.3A (rated @ 1600W)

CAUTION!
The Alpha XM2 power can draw an additional 400W during battery charging operation. If the
combined load exceeds the generator's listed rating, turn the power supply DC breaker OFF to
avoid an over current condition.
5. When proper operation is verifi ed, close the PWE and GEM enclosures.
