Installation

Automatic Transfer Switch Owner’s Manual 5

Section 2: Installation

Introduction to Installation

This equipment has been wired and tested at the factory.

Installing the transfer switch includes the following proce-

dures:

•Mounting the enclosure.

•Connecting power source and load leads.

•Connecting generator start and sensing circuit.

•Connecting any auxiliary contact (if needed).

•Testing functions.

Mounting the Enclosure

Mounting dimensions for the transfer switch enclosure

are in this manual. Enclosures are typically wall-

mounted. See Drawings and Diagrams.

This transfer switch is mounted in a UL type 3R enclo-

sure. It can be mounted outside or inside and should be

based on the layout of installation, convenience, and

proximity to the utility supply and load center.

Install transfer switch as close as possible to electrical

loads that will be connected to it. Mount transfer switch

vertically to a rigid supporting structure. Level all mount-

ing points to prevent transfer switch distortion. Use wash-

ers behind mounting holes to level the unit if necessary.

Opening the Enclosure

See Figure 2-1. First, remove outer cover (A):

1. Remove two thumb screws (B).

2. Slide slot (C) over retention tab.

3. Lower cover until clear of top flange (D), and pull

away from enclosure.

Then, remove inner panel (E):

4. Loosen nut (F).

5. Grasp inner panel at two cutouts (G—left and

right). Tilt inner panel as shown, passing nut

through t-slot (H) in inner panel.

6. Lower inner panel until clear of two retention slots

(J—left and right sides), and pull away from enclo-

sure.

Equipment malfunction. Installing a dirty or damaged

transfer switch will cause equipment malfunction and

will result in death or serious injury.

Installation

6Automatic Transfer Switch Owner’s Manual

Installing Breakers

See Figure 2-2. Insert tab on each breaker (A) into the

hook on the bus (B). Push breaker into bus until it snaps

into place.

Figure 2-2. Install Breakers

NOTE: The following 1 in circuit breaker manufacturers

are permitted to be installed: Siemens, Murray, Eaton

BR, and Square D Homeline.

Installing Branch Circuit Conductors

1. Install correctly sized branch circuit conductors into

transfer switch. Knockouts can be made in the field

as needed.

2. Connect ungrounded branch circuit conductors

(hot conductors) to a correctly sized circuit breaker

approved for use with the transfer switch.

3. Terminate neutral conductor and equipment

grounding conductor of the branch circuit at neu-

tral/equipment ground terminal bars.

4. Size all conductors, raceways, conduits, and junc-

tion boxes, if required, to the applicable NEC code

articles and follow NEC installation requirements

for wiring method(s) selected.

NOTE: Multi-wire branch circuits must be installed in

accordance with NEC Article 210.4.

Connecting Power Source and

Generator Power Supply

Installation and interconnection diagrams are provided in

this manual.

NOTE: All installations must comply with national, state,

and local codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to

perform an installation that will pass final electrical

inspection.

1. Connect utility supply at utility service disconnect

circuit breaker terminals N1 and N2. Utility supply

lugs are equipped with the 2017/2020 NEC

required finger safe barriers. These barriers must

remain in place after installation.

2. Connect utility neutral conductor to grounded ter-

minal bar. Neutral/grounding conductor terminal

bars are bonded together and to the transfer switch

enclosure through the use of a green main bonding

jumper screw.

3. Connect loads to integrated load center with cus-

tomer-supplied circuit breakers.

4. See Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-3. Connect generator

to generator terminals (E1 and E2) on the transfer

mechanism.

000362

Electrocution. Turn utility and emergency

power supplies to OFF before connecting

power source and load lines. Failure to do so

will result in death or serious injury. (000116)

DANGER

(000120)

CAUTION

Equipment damage. Verify all conductors are

tightened to the factory specified torque value.

Failure to do so could result in damage to the

switch base.
