Thank you so much for taking the time to set all this up, record demonstrating and posting it. I can't believe how little information there is on automatic transfer switches used on portable generators.
That is awesome. Specially, if you have a six or 10 circuit transfer switch system, you could set that up to where you wouldn’t have to do anything they were just stay on generator and you would just have the ATS giving out the power. Pretty slick.
That’s the best way to have it setup, that way when the power comes back and goes back in 15 minutes, you don’t have to run outside and set everything up again👍🏾
This is really nice. I'm impressed. With a propane or NG generator, you could DIY an automatic home backup for less than half the cost of an install (not to mention the 6+ month wait for an install)
Very nicely done buddy. That would work really nice Incase your out of your house and power went off, the generator would turn on and power the selected breakers you have. I think running it on propane would be the best option, so you don’t have gas sitting in the tank and it goes bad. Thanks 🙏 Gavin
You go to all corners of the generator universe to find solutions. I love it. The Westinghouse ST smart transfer switch looks like it has a compatible connector. Has anyone tried it on the Genmax 7250?
@@GeneratorReviews I'm guessing Genmax uses the same circuit logic as Duromax and is wired to the panel button, meaning it starts by holding for 1-2 seconds. Westinghouse probably uses dry contact and keeps the button circuit closed. After a period of time, it reinterprets the close as a shutdown press. I too am anxiously waiting for this to come to market so I can try on my xp9000.
Hi, Gavin! That generator/auto-transfer switch combo is great. I wonder if it'll work with other generators that have an auto-start feature. I imagine the sensor plug would be wired differently on different mfg's but I bet it wouldn't be too hard to build an adapter. Nice demo!
impressive unit.. this is what i have been looking for ... Also if you ever come across a product that can tell when city power is retored please share.. alot of times when on generator power its difficult to say when the power has been restored
Wonder if you can configure a genmax 3fuel with ATS , capable of automatic start on and power off, when the grid goes out, similar configuration as the permanent systems like the generac, champion etc. without the need of the interlock mechanic switch
Hi Calvin, great video! I'm considering installing the exact configuration you've shown in my home. What is the brand and model of the ATS you show? Can't seem to find it anywhere.Thanks for letting us know!
Thank you sir for the video been looking for a set up like this other then a stand-by generator will that switch work with a generac GP8000e generator thank you for the informative video.
Gavin, Enjoyed your video. Is there any additional status on the ATS for the Genmax that you used in this video. I can't seem to find one on-line. Thank you.
if your running electric central heat and you apply the automatic transfer switch. I think it won't allow the generator to come on cause it's probably going to detect more power drawing. is there a way around it ??
What’s keeps the generator battery from fully discharging sitting a long time on standby? Is this for use on the RV? Wire size seems small. Nice auto switch though.
Hey Robert The generator goes to standby mode, but this would be set up before you a power outage occurs. I just wired it for the test. However, I would use at least 8 or 10 gauge wire for this set up. Thanks buddy 👍🏾
Thanks Gavin. The ATS box looks home brewed from Russia. Where did you get it? Also it would nice to have an ATS the uses power from the L15-50R socket of the generator since I need to run it remotely about 30 ft from my garage.
Hi Gavin. Is there any way to get a technical description or electrical schematic for the ATS connector pinout and cable? I'd like to know how many wires are in the cable and what they do in the ATS itself.
Hey Gavin, I'm a bit of a newbie. But will i be able to hook this generator up to my cerbo gx to AutoStart when batteries are low and will I need a special wire or device.
@GeneratorReviews according to the manual, it uses two wire auto start. I've searched everywhere on the internet, and I have not found anything with a connector that fits into this generators ATS port
I have a hyundai inverter generator mod.65158, and ATS hyundai mod.65140. I installed the cables from the meter, to the ATS control unit things net input, I installed it to the 16 ampere socket of the generator, in the generator input, I left it empty, ats output , when I turn off the power the generator starts, when the power comes back it can't stop, what could it be, thanks
Gavin Have you ever done a video on the best -hitch/tongue generator cargo carrier - hitch/tongue generator box Just purchased my 4650 Dual Fuel Champion generator and looking for a generator box/carrier. Thanks
Gavin, what is the name up of the ATS switch you are using in this video and where can I get information about it? Will it work with other inverter generators? Tnx Gavin, really like your videos!
I hope you sell a plug and play ats so Rvs can be connected to it and one of the genmax with ats. I will buy one along with the 10500 or if there is a 12000 will be great.
It looks like it doesn't/you don't have a neutral connected to the generator. How do you derive two 120V legs for testing without a neutral between the two legs of the 240V? Seems suspicious and maybe dangerous.
Recently, we had an order pending for the GENMAX GM9000iED Inverter Generator. It was on backorder. We were notified that the GENMAX GM9000iED was discontinued and our order was cancelled. We were offered the "new" GENMAX GM9000iEDC Inverter Generator at a higher price. As far as we can tell, there is no difference between models. Nothing has changed except for the "C" in the model number. We noticed that your test unit GENMAX GM7250iEDC also has the new "C" in the model number. What has changed (except for a higher price)? Do you know? Thanks.
I would worry that, leaving gasoline in the generator for months on end, waiting for the power to go out, would cause problems with the carburetor! If the power goes out, I’ll just manually start the generator.
Pretty cool, but way too slow to transfer. When I fire my portable generator up I switch it to the load like 5 seconds later and have no issues. The whole process should be able to happen in less than 15 seconds which would meet requirements for life saving equipment in the home.

My 7250 just arrived today. Can't wait to get the ATS hardware.
Awesome 😎
Thank you Gavin, Please let us know when ATS cable and transfer switch are available? Thank You
That's really cool! The wire going into the ATS without any grommets is strange though.
It comes with no wiring. I just scrounge up whatever I could find to do this review.
You go to all corners of the generator universe to find solutions. I love it. The Westinghouse ST smart transfer switch looks like it has a compatible connector. Has anyone tried it on the Genmax 7250?
I actually tried the Westinghouse ST smart transfer, and for some reason it starts the generator but shut it off after a minute.

Hey Joe
It’s hard it tell when power is restored with the main breaker turned off but I will check for something
I’ve tried twice to reply to your question. But I think my replies are getting blocked. Let me try once more: THP108
@@GeneratorReviews I think reliance makes one
Genmax told me today that the ATS might be available the first part of September..
A lot of solar inverters have a ATS relay to start the a generator. I wonder if a EG4 12PV can start this generator without the orange ATS.

Good question I will check it out thanks

One more thing to add to the house I'm planning on building!
Can you give the brand of the ATS and where to buy?
I will update you on the status when it’s available
Love the channel. Question could you show how to make a power Distro box with all the trimmings thanks

Haven’t had any updates
Gavin, Thanks for all you do with generators. Do you know when GENMAX is releasing the 12K / 10K running? Are you going to do a review on it. Thanks
Yes I am working on it now 👍🏾
if your running electric central heat and you apply the automatic transfer switch. I think it won't allow the generator to come on cause it's probably going to detect more power drawing. is there a way around it ??
Then you get a bigger generator
Could the autostart feature work on an off grid system? To have the generator auto start when batteries are running low.
ua-cam.com/video/kBaZPXLdcII/v-deo.htmlsi=xRkFz4uU0ekvVgOj
Check this out, I think it’s what you’re talking about.
Did the generator came with the ats autostart box?
No
Where can I buy the ats wire?
What’s keeps the generator battery from fully discharging sitting a long time on standby?
Is this for use on the RV? Wire size seems small.
Nice auto switch though.
Hey Robert
The generator goes to standby mode, but this would be set up before you a power outage occurs.
I just wired it for the test. However, I would use at least 8 or 10 gauge wire for this set up.
Thanks buddy 👍🏾
Nice demonstration.
Thanks 😊
Thanks Gavin. The ATS box looks home brewed from Russia. Where did you get it? Also it would nice to have an ATS the uses power from the L15-50R socket of the generator since I need to run it remotely about 30 ft from my garage.
Thanks I got it from a sponsor who is thinking of having one built they sent it to me so I can test it out.
Does it charge and maintain the battery on the generator when on city power?
Yes it does keep the battery charged
I think that ATS switch will work with solark solar inverter they need to add that ATS option to all the generators
Great to see this. Thanks!
Man a step by step would be great
Is there anyway to wire up a ats system for the 9k watt Genmax?
Unfortunately, that one does not have ATS
Hi Gavin. Is there any way to get a technical description or electrical schematic for the ATS connector pinout and cable? I'd like to know how many wires are in the cable and what they do in the ATS itself.
Let me find a link and I will send it to you
@@GeneratorReviews did you get the info ? I need this
Would love to have as well.
How would this be set up in a permanent situation? Where would the ATS be located?
I would mount it right next to the transfer switch.
That Genmax generator is out of stock. I wonder when they were gonna get more in stock?
Once it comes in stock, it’s out of stock by the next day you just have to keep an eye on it try early in the mornings.
👍👍 Where did you get that transfer switch? Will it work on the Duromax xp9000ih?
It probably will work on the Duromax xp9000
How could I get this combo? I live in Puerto Rico so it has to be shipped there, do you have any online store link?
Shipping is the main problem
@@GeneratorReviews I just found the solution...do you have any link where I could buy one?
Hey Gavin, I'm a bit of a newbie. But will i be able to hook this generator up to my cerbo gx to AutoStart when batteries are low and will I need a special wire or device.
If it’s compatible with ATS ports, it will work but I haven’t seen that specific brand model yet
@GeneratorReviews according to the manual, it uses two wire auto start. I've searched everywhere on the internet, and I have not found anything with a connector that fits into this generators ATS port
I like that switch, but can't find it online. What similar switch would you suggest?
Genmax is coming out with a unit soon
I have a hyundai inverter generator mod.65158, and ATS hyundai mod.65140. I installed the cables from the meter, to the ATS control unit things net input, I installed it to the 16 ampere socket of the generator, in the generator input, I left it empty, ats output , when I turn off the power the generator starts, when the power comes back it can't stop, what could it be, thanks
Sounds like there’s a problem with your ATS could be the shut off relay.
Hey Gavin is the Genmax and Pulsar 7250 the same generator? If not can you test that one as well?
They’re really not the same generator because one has a 50 amp plug and the other one has a 30 amp plug
@GeneratorReviews oh ok thank you I didn't see that little sinpit
Very nice. How much for that transfer switch?
Thanks, Scott
I don’t have any info yet, but I will be finding out soon.GenMax is actually working on one that will be available soon.
Does the switch turn on the generator to warm it up before switching the load to it?
Yessir it does
Where I can get that kind transfer switch
That transfer switch will be available soon

where can I find that CKAT ATS?
You should be able to find it on Google
What switch is this?
Gavin, what is the name up of the ATS switch you are using in this video and where can I get information about it? Will it work with other inverter generators? Tnx Gavin, really like your videos!
If you type the name in Google it actually pulls up.
What is the name or brand.
where I can buy this transfer switch?
The transfer switch will be available soon for sale.

What is the ATS you are using?
GenMax should be coming out with one soon. I think you can find this one online. I have no links for it like I said in the video. Sorry
From where can I get this transfer switch?
You have to search on google for this model.
Will this switch work with Duromax?
No the plug is not the same
It looks like it doesn't/you don't have a neutral connected to the generator. How do you derive two 120V legs for testing without a neutral between the two legs of the 240V? Seems suspicious and maybe dangerous.
Most generators with floating neutral don’t have the neutral cable
Is this vaporware at this point?
Still waiting for certifications before it’s released
What is the brand of the ats ?
The brand of the ATS is CKAT
anyone converted this generator to floating neutral? Is there a guide anywhere?
I’ll be doing this one shortly
