We have a Progressive 50A EMS hardwired. I installed the unit right next to our transfer switch by removing one of the basement wall panels. It's only 4 screws to open the wall panel.
I removed the incoming power line from the transfer switch, and hooked it to the input on the Progressive EMS. I then used a short section of the same cord material to hook the output of the EMS to the shore power input on the transfer switch.
In speaking with Cummins-Onan and Progressive Industries, I opted to to it this way, rather than hooking it to the output from the transfer switch (which would cover either shore power or generator power). The incidents of power issues caused by generators are statistically very low. The incidents of shore power issues damaging the transfer switch are more common. With the Progressive EMS installed between shore power and the transfer switch, the transfer switch and everything downstream are protected.
I did install their two-display switch kit. I have one display mounted inside at the power control panel, and the other in the main hookup compartment on the trailer. That way I can see it while I'm outside setting the trailer up, then switch it to inside when parked.Editor - www.RamGunner.com and www.MomentumGunner.com
