Turning on a branch breaker should not have any effect on the ems. It should have its control wired directly to the incoming buss.
The EMS 900 manual seems to suggest that something like that is the case, at least if I understand it correctly (which may not be the case).
Page 12:
J6 Terminal Function
1 From breaker for relay 2 (Must be connected to a line 2 breaker)
2 Output of relay 2
3 From breaker for relay 1 (Must be connected to a line 1 breaker)
4 Output of relay 1
5 Neutral
From troubleshooting, Remote Display does not indicate 50A service source when 50A 240V shore power is connected:
=====
Check to make sure jumpers are present between any Line 1 breaker and J6 terminal 3, and between any Line 2 breaker and J6 terminal 1. Also, check that the neutral jumper is in place between J6 terminal 5 and a position on the neutral block.
With 50A service available, the voltage between J6-3 and J6-1 should be 240 VAC.

I think it's safe to assume the jumpers are in place, or switching the breaker on would make no difference.
So, if the breakers connected to J6-3 and J6-1 are the washer/dryer breaker for Line 1 and some other breaker from line 2 (will experiment tomorrow to see if I can find another breaker that causes it to drop to 30A mode when switched off), then that would seem to confirm my understanding of how it's wired.
It sounds weird, I know, but that seems to be what they're saying.
