## Description

Generac’s 6853 HomeLink™ upgradeable manual transfer switch is a pre-wired electrical device that’s installed next to your home’s circuit panel. During an outage, it delivers power to hard-wired appliances (such as furnace, well pump and lights) with the push of a button, safely and easily – eliminating the need for multiple extension cords. It comes standard with 8 circuits, expandable to 10 circuits. When you’re ready to install an automatic home standby generator, a certified electrician will change out the panel located in the HomeLink with an automatic switch upgrade panel and new faceplate – and it’s ready to be connected to a home standby generator (11 kW maximum).

Review: A must for cold climate - This is a very impressive item. It cost me $360 to have it professionally installed, and during a power outage, I plug my generator (240 volt) into the box installed on the outside of my house, and I have power to my fridge, blower motor on my gas furnace, sump pump and lights upstairs and down stairs. All the basics without multiple extension cords running through windows. It comes with everything you need to have it installed and wires directly into your breaker panel. Everything is controlled with a single switch. Very recommended
Review: GENERAC HOME LINK PANEL - Even tho this can be easily installed, if you own your house you might want a “licensed” Electricgian to do this job. In the video I talk about the “lever” that switches from “main” to “home link” panel, where you have to open the panel in order to switch, this is because this panel its ment to be use with a GENERAC Generator, which they don’t explain in the description. Other than that its good quality, well built and good brand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Know what you are up against or hire a professional
*by T***W on September 5, 2020*

Instructions could have bigger illustrations. I read blogs of Generac should have supplied wires and a 50 amp breaker. I beg the differ as there are at least half a dozen Manufactures of breakers out there. And how much wire is enough? I did buy a circuit breaker as suggested by Generac that matched my breaker box. Placement of the inlet box will differ from one home to another thus you would need to figure out how much wire you must buy or replace the supplied wires for longer ones. Then I read blogs saying they cant hook up a 120v generator. Wrong, you can as I have. Some folks didn't do some homework. Generac input box comes with a L14 input that is ready for 220 volts and there are 2 legs of 110 v that add up to 220v. There is a L14 to L5 Dongle you must get but must be labeled Bridged. I am happy with my unit and I did take time to install and perform custom installation as we all have different needs and configurations. Good Luck to all. 9/8/2020, I am adding additional info, although I was able to use my 120v generator and the transfer switch will return to utility on the panel when utility returns. However, switching to generator operation requires a manual activation unless you have a 220v generator. A 220v generator purchase is in the works for me. This way I will not need the dongle and can use the 4 prong L14 extension cord. Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences.
