INTRODUCTION

Owner Orientation

The provided illustrations deplict typical circumstances

and are meant to familiarize you with the installation

options available with your transfer switch.

Local codes, appearance, and distances are factors

that must be considered when negotiating with an

installation professional. As the distance from the

existing electrical service increases, compensation in

wiring materials must be allowed for. This is necessary

to comply with local codes and overcome electrical

voltage drops.

The factors mentioned above will have a direct effect

on the overall price of your transfer switch

installation.

NOTE: Your installer must check local codes AND

obtain permits before installing the system.

Read and follow the instructions given in this manual.

Installer Responsibilities

• Read and observe the safety rules.

• Read and follow the instructions given in this

manual.

• Check federal, state and local codes, standards and

regulations.

• Ensure generator is not overloaded with selected

loads.

Equipment Description

This transfer switch is intended to operate electrical

loads found in normal residential installations. The load

is connected either to utility power (normal) or home

standby power (generator).

The manual transfer switch is equipped with two main

circuit breakers (“GENERATOR SUPPLY” and

“UTILITY SUPPLY”) and a mechanical interlock. The

“GENERATOR SUPPLY” circuit breaker connects

power from the generator to the load devices wired to

the manual transfer switch. The “UTILITY SUPPLY”

circuit breaker connects utility power from the

distribution panel to the loads wired to the manual

transfer switch. Each of these circuit breakers have an

isolated neutral that MUST be connected inside the

transfer switch.

The mechanical interlock allows the circuit breakers for

either the generator power “GENERATOR SUPPLY” or

the utility power “UTILITY SUPPLY” to be turned on to

provide power to the selected house loads. This

switching neutral manual transfer switch will not allow

utility line power and generator power to be connected

to a load device at the same time.

If utility line power is restored while generator power is

being used, there will be no effect on the generator or

transfer switch components. When utility power is

restored, follow the instructions in the section “System

Operation”.

Generator Compatibility

Only use a generator that is factory-equipped with a

NEMA L14-20R or NEMA L14-30R receptacle, shown

in Figures 9 and 10.

• NEVER connect transfer switch to any receptacle other

than those recommended as damage to connected

appliances may occur.

OPERATION

SYSTEM OPERATION

Load Management

The number of circuits that can be operated

simultaneously during a utility failure will depend on the

wattage capacity of your generator. Most optional

standby system generators do not have the

capacity to handle loads on all transfer switch

circuits at the same time.

Review the load management plan developed with the

installer. It may be necessary to selectively turn on and

off certain loads while using generator power so that

necessary appliances can be operated.

To transfer from utility power to generator power:

1. Align female socket of connecting cord set with

inlet box receptacle’s mating male prongs, as

shown in Figure 11. Push cord set connector in and

twist clockwise to lock.

2. Align male prongs on other end of cord set with

mating female terminals of generator’s 240V

receptacle, as shown in Figure 12. Push in

connector and twist clockwise to lock.

3. Ensure generator is outdoors as described in

generator operator’s manual.

4. Start generator following instructions given in the

generator operator’s manual.

5. Turn OFF breaker labeled “UTILITY SUPPLY” in

transfer switch.

6. Turn OFF all branch circuit breakers in transfer switch.

7. Slide mechanical interlock in transfer switch and turn

“GENERATOR SUPPLY” breaker to ON position.

8. Turn ON branch circuit breakers one at a time

following your load management plan developed

with installer. DO NOT overload generator as

described in generator operator’s manual.

To transfer from generator power back to utility

power:

1. Turn OFF breaker labeled “GENERATOR

SUPPLY” in transfer switch.

2. Turn OFF all branch circuit breakers in transfer switch.

3. Slide mechanical interlock in transfer switch and

turn “UTILITY SUPPLY” breaker to ON position.

procédure, une méthode de travail ou une technique

d’opération non spécifiquement recommandée par le

fabricant, vous devez vous assurer qu’elle ne compromet

pas votre sécurité ni celle des autres. Vous devez également

vous assurer que la procédure, la méthode de travail ou la

technique d’opération que vous choisissez ne rende pas le

AVERTISSEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Nous vous remercions d’avoir acheté le commutateur

neutre de transfert manuel de Briggs & Stratton. Ce

commutateur est conçu pour être utilisé avec des

génératrices avec ou sans disjoncteurs de fuite de terre

(GFCI). Le commutateur débranche le circuit neutre

approproié de sorte que le disjoncteur de fuite de terre puisse

fonctionner correctement.

Ce commutateur est conçu pour être utilisé avec une

génératrice résidentielle auxiliaire fournissant une source

d’électricité de rechange et pouvant alimenter une fournaise

au gaz, les systèmes de réfrigération et les systèmes de

communication qui, lorsqu’ils sont arrêtés durant une panne

d’électricité, peuvent causer de l’inconfort ou d’autres

désagréments. Ce produit ne se qualifie PAS comme

génératrice d’urgence tel que défini par la NFPA 70 (NEC).

La société Briggs & Stratton Power Products a tout fait pour

fournir un produit dont l’installation soit sécuritaire, facile et

économique. Comme chaque installation est unique, il est

impossible de connaître et de recommander une marche à

suivre présentant toutes les méthodes et consignes

d’installation possibles. Briggs et Stratton ignore également

les dangers et/ou les résultats potentiels de chaque méthode

ou procédure. C’est pourquoi

Seulement un électricien autorisé devrait installer ce

commutateur. Toute installation doit être conforme à

tous les codes, normes et à la réglementation

applicables (fédéraux, provinciaux et locaux).

Votre commutateur de transfert BSPP est livré avec le

présent « Guide d’installation et d’utilisation ». Ce guide est

un document important; conservez-le après avoir complété

l’installation.

Tout a été fait pour s’assurer que les renseignements

contenus dans le présent guide soient exacts et à jour.

Toutefois, le fabriquant se réserve le droit de changer, de

modifier ou encore d’améliorer le système en tout temps, et

ce, sans préavis.

Pour le propriétaire résidentiel

Afin de vous aider à faire des choix avisés et à communiquer

efficacement avec l’entrepreneur qui procédera à

l’installation,

Veuillez lire avec soin la section « Conseils au

propriétaire » dans le présent guide avant de contracter

un entrepreneur ou de commencer l’installation de votre

commutateur de transfert.

Pour assurer une installation adéquate, veuillez contacter le

magasin qui vous a vendu votre commutateur de transfert

Briggs & Stratton, votre détaillant ou votre fournisseur de

services d’électricité.

Si l’installation du commutateur n’est pas effectuée
