Totally a pain to install.
Helped install this for a friend. This will not work with a 240 generator. Which most generators are or you only use one leg of it. Only does 6 circuits. Very limited in what circuits you use and how to hook them up. The panel has been in for a year. The first time the power goes out there is an error message and 2 circuits will not work now.

Smart - Unique Transfer switch!
Easy to install, well engineered "smart" transfer switch that works excellent with a smaller 3500kw, 120 volt portable generator. Automatically turns off lightly loaded electrical circuits on a user defined schedule allowing the propane gas furnace to start and run keeping our home warm. Good peace of mind during frigid Wisconsin winters where the temps can routinely drop below 0 degrees.

Works great per its design.
Have a care when getting this as part of a home back up project.
1. It provides up to 6 circuits at 120v only.
2. It came set up with an external L5-30p on the front, if you want to hardwire a generator from an outdoor inlet, order the optional hardwire kit.
3. It uses fuses for each circuit. The default setup is six 15 amp circuit fuses. It ships with one 20 amp fuse. If you are matching circuits to more than one 20 amp breaker, make sure to order extra fuses. MoF, order extra fuses of both 15 and 20 amps just to be ready since the fuses protect your house wiring as the switch sits between your main panel breakers and the circuits.
4. You have to use circuits 5&6 from opposite legs of the main panel. Circuit 1 works for the house and also supplies the convenience outlet where you plug in the UPS for charging.
5. I made a mistake to think I could use an Ego Nexus 2000 watt power station as the UPS. You can’t. That inverter does not allow for simultaneous input and output connections. Get an actual UPS to take advantage of the uninterruptible feature.
