The EMS is completely installed along with the Autoformer and the new front plug. The Autoformer is isolated on the rear feed and is installed with plug and receptacle so it can be disconnected if need be (in case of generator hookup on rear feed). The only thing left to do is to snake the telephone cable into the front closet for the remote display for the EMS system. I just completed everything but that at 10:00 this evening. Tested the front hookup with both the Kipor 3000 and our new Honda eu2000e (bought it for the boat) and everything is kosher. If you remember the open ground fault I had on the EMS on the initial generator test, it was resolved per Progressive Industries instructions of a jumper between neutral and ground on the Iota smartswitch inlet from the generator. Never checked the gennys on the rear yet. I am pleased with the setup and promise I will get pics soon. Don't know when yet, though since Church is tomorrow after work and have to work late Thursday to get a headstart for the weekend camping trip in Elkins, WV. I may have to take the pics there and post next week.
Bingo
On edit: For those who didn't know what was proposed, here is a repost of the schematic for the upgraded system (Note that the connectors for the Autoformer are shown reversed, the power line in has female, male from Autoformer plugs into it and Iota smartswitch plut to Autoformer is male since the Autoformer comes with female:
