ONAN 5500 Installation. The wires are labeled on the harness as follows on a typical ONAN 8-pin wiring harness

Listed here are typical installation instructions for an ONAN 5500 Gas/Diesel/Propane having a generator wiring harness that is 8-pin.

Note: For action 7 you will have to buy 14-gauge wire that is electrical the run from our ShorePower track to your transfer switch.

STEP ONE:

Turn-off your generator AC circuit breakers in order to avoid disruption of coast power solution during installation and screening of ShorePower track.

STEP TWO:

Determine the following 4 cables on the generator wiring harness.

Make use of label or tape to mark each cable so that you won’t forget which wire is which.

• A – Ground – Brown
• B – Stop – Green
• C – Begin – Red
• E – Run – Orange

On a normal ONAN 10-pin wiring harness the cables are labeled regarding the harness the following

• A – Ground
• C – Begin
• E – Stop
• F – Run

NOTE: The pin connections above are typical ONAN connections. Not absolutely all ONAN generators have actually the generator that is same harness connections as some was changed because of the dealer or RV manufacturer. Make sure you have actually precisely identified the 4 cables correctly before proceeding with step three.

STEP THREE:

Connect one Posi-Tap to every associated with the 4 cables identified in step two.

STEP:

Result in the connection through the ShorePower track into the Posi-Taps (wiring harness) depending on the wiring diagram supplied.

• Green cable to E AVOID
• Red cable to C BEGIN
• Brown cable to A GROUND
• Orange cable to FRUN

Remember to link the wires that are correct the wiring harness even as we utilize red-colored cables over and over again.

On our installation picture we utilized white cables to expand to your harness because of location of our device. The closer the installation of our device to your wiring harness will assist you to make use of the provided 4-foot wire length we offer.

ACTION 5:

• Link the red cable from the ShorePower Monitor (I3) to 1 region of the enable switch making use of the provided Posi-Lock or even a crimp connector.
• Link the next red cable (supplied in the zip-lock case) to another region of the enable switch. The other end of the red cable will ultimately get in touch to your good battery pack terminal.

ACTION 6:

• Link the red cable through the enable switch plus the red cable from (L+) in the ShorePower track to your +12 VDC (Positive battery terminal).
• Link the black colored cable (M) regarding the ShorePower track to ground (any steel in your RV).

STEP 7:

Through the ShorePower Monitor Power Converter ( See wiring diagram B – Transfer Switch Connection):

You may need 14-gauge stranded wire that is electrical the run from our device to your transfer switch.

• Connect (L) on our MeanWell Power Converter to a single part of this 110 Volts regarding the transfer switch.
• Link the (N) on our MeanWell Power Converter to your center connection (common) from the transfer switch

ACTION 8:

The ShorePower track & the MeanWell Power Converter should both have their green light in, if most of the cables, like the cables to your transfer switch, have already been properly connected. .

• To check the machine switch on the ALLOW Switch and disconnect from coast energy. The light that is green the MeanWell is certainly going down and in around 20 moments our unit will auto-start your generator.
• Let generator run for approximately a moment then re-connect to shore energy and our device will immediately shut-off your generator in more or less seconds that are 10-12. The light that is green the MeanWell can come straight back on.

ESSENTIAL NOTE: Turning the ALLOW CHANGE On or OFF does not impact the light that is green the ShorePower track or MeanWell. In the event that ShorePower track is correctly link along with coast power those two light will be on. The ALLOW CHANGE just enables or disables monitoring.

It’s this that a set-up that is typical seem like when it is completed. You will see other consumer installation photos by clicking right here.
