Generic generator

For the 7ke standby General, you’ll need what they call a 200A ATS “smart switch”.

You can use the wireless Smart Management Modules for load-shedding on your appliances. It’s a small plastic enclosure with a 50A contactor inside. It connects wirelessly to the ATS smart switch.

The ATS also has relays inside that you connect to the HVAC; it’s a make/break relay that intercepts the t-stat power.

Typically you’d just run a 2-wire cable to the HVAC components from the ATS, then install the smart management modules at your electric appliances; water heater, range, dryer, etc...

You can link up to 8 SMM’s to a transfer switch.

A smart switch is most likely going to have problems on that model generator, not to mention that model doesn't have the proper wiring needed to power the internal load shed module in the transfer switch. You could run another wire (the old 7kW only uses 4 wires) however with it having a mechanical governor that can fluctuate between 62.5 Hz and probably 57.5 or so, the load shed module is going to be dropping load when it's not supposed to. I normally recommend ONLY using the load shed modules on units with electronic governors that operate at 60Hz (Some of the older models with electronics governors were 58Hz units)

With all of that said, you can't find a whole house switch that ISN'T a Smart Switch anymore, however, you just don't use the load shed module inside the switch, simple as that...

The SMM's are going to be the same problem as the load shed modules that come in the switch. They base shedding on frequency and on that style generator it's going to be a problem...
