Product Overview
Easier than ever before - Generac’s 9855 HomeLink Upgradeable Manual Transfer Switches are now easier to install, expand and maintain than ever before. To meet the requirements of 2017 National Electric Codes, improved 30 Amp and 50 Amp HomeLink models can be used with any portable generator featuring compatible GFCI outlets. With interchangeable circuit breakers that simplify the reconfiguration process required for replacing or expanding from 8 to 16 circuits, HomeLink switches can be used to provide power to hard-wired loads such as your homes furnace, well pump or lights. Unlike other manual transfer switches available to the general public, HomeLink models can also be upgraded for automatic functionality with home standby generators up to 11kW by simply changing out the original controller assembly. Pre-wired for easy installation, these updated switch models also feature an electronic rocker button that seamlessly switches between utility and generator power. Indicator lights identify the presence of utility and/or generator power and bundled options are currently available with cords and power inlet boxes included. Thanks to the re-launch of Generac’s HomeLink Upgradeable Manual Transfer Switches, protecting your desired loads and transitioning from portable power to an automatic standby solution is easier than ever before.

I found this product on HD website and it said '50 am' capablility. I needed 50 amp for my AC unit, but when I brought it home and unpacked it I found it only has max 30 amp breaker!! Ergo, I am going to return it. It is likely a quality unit for lesser purposes than what I need.

The unit is definitely a premo unit however you can't tell if it is for indoor or outdoor use. Even a Home Depot associate that works in electrical couldn't tell. I ordered. Picked it up when it came in and opened the box in the parking lot. Well it is a indoor model. I need an outdoor model! Generac doesn't offer one!

I purchased the Generac manual transfer kit as it was advertised to be easy to install, maintain and expand. The electrician who installed it had nothing but good comments about my decision to purchase Generac. He said Generac is the best and will be so convenient for me to use.
