Installation and Owner's Manual
Equipment Description
These switches are a new generation of transfer switches
that are intended to transfer the entire load of normal
residential installations.The load is connected either to
utility power (normal) or home standby power
(emergency).The transfer switch monitors utility and
generator voltages and will automatically connect to the
appropriate source of power.
Major components of the transfer switch are a 2 pole
double throw transfer switch, control circuit board, fused
utility terminals and interconnecting wiring.
The transfer switch is solenoid-operated from utility or
generator inputs and contain suitable mechanical and
electrical interlock switches to eliminate the possibility of
connecting the utility service to the generator output. It
has ratings capable of switching full utility power into the
residence. In addition, a manual override lever is provided
for the transfer function.
The control circuit board has active circuits sensing utility
and generator voltages. It creates a signal for the generator
start-up, switch transfer, retransfer when utility is restored
and generator cool down periods.The control board also
contains red and green LED's indicating the power sources
available and two relay operated contacts that provide
supervisory control of external loads.
INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Delivery Inspection
After removing the carton, carefully inspect the transfer
switch components for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment.
IMPORTANT: If loss or damage is noted at time of
delivery, have the person(s) making delivery note all damage
on the freight bill and affix his signature under the
consignor's memo of loss or damage. If loss or damage is
noted after delivery, contact the carrier for claim
procedures. Missing or damaged parts are not warranted.

Mounting Guidelines
The Automatic Transfer Switch isenclosed in a N EMA Type
3R enclosure suitable for indoor/outdoor use. Guidelines for
mounting the Automatic Transfer Switch include:
• Install the switch on a firm, sturdy supporting structure.
• The switch must be installed with minimum NEMA 3R
hardware for conduit connections.
• To prevent switch contact distortion, level and plumb the
enclosure.This can be done by placing washers between
the switch enclosure and the mounting surface.
• NEVER install the switch where any corrosive substance
might drip onto the enclosure.
• Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture,
dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and corrosive vapors.
A typical installation of the Automatic Power Transfer
Switch is depicted in Figure 2. It is best if it is mounted
near the utility meter, either inside or outside. Discuss
layout suggestions/changes with the owner before beginning
the system installation process.
