Installation

We sincerely appreciate your patronage and have made significant effort
to provide for a safe, streamlined and cost-effective installation. Because
each installation is unique, it is impossible to know of and advise the
trade of all conceivable procedures and methods by which installation
might be achieved. Neither could we know of possible hazards and/or the
results of each method
or procedure.
For these reasons, only current licensed electrical professionals should
attempt system installations. Installations must strictly comply with all
applicable codes, industry standards and regulations.
Your equipment is supplied with this Installation Manual and a separate
Operator's Manual. These are important documents and should be
retained by the owner after the installation has
been completed.
Every effort has been made to make sure that the information in this
manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer reserves
the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the system at any time
without prior notice.

Home Owner Responsibilities

To help you make informed choices and communicate effectively with
your installation contractor(s), read and understand Owner Orientation
before contracting or starting your
equipment installation.
To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which you
purchased your equipment, your dealer, or your utility
power provider.
The equipment warranty is VOID unless the system is installed by
licensed electrical professionals.

Owner Orientation

The illustrations provided are for typical circumstances and are meant to
familiarize you with the installation options available with your system.
Local codes, appearance, and distances are the 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.
These factors will have a direct effect on the overall price of your
equipment installation.
Your installer must check local codes AND obtain permits before installing
the system.
• Read and follow the instructions given in this manual.
• Follow a regular schedule in caring for and using your equipment,
as specified in this manual.

Equipment Description

The transfer switch is designed to transfer selected loads found in normal
residential installations to standby power in the event of a primary power
outage. The load is connected either to utility power (normal) or home
standby power (generator). The generator controller monitors utility and
generator voltages, and automatically controls the transfer switch board
to connect load to the appropriate source of power.
Only a licensed electrician should complete a home standby installation.
Service conduit and conductors can be wired directly from the watt-hour
meter to the transfer switch. A separate service entrance disconnect and
associated wiring is not required when installed per applicable federal,
state and local codes, standards and regulations.
Major components of the transfer switch are a 2 pole utility disconnect
circuit breaker, a 2 pole double throw transfer switch, transfer switch
board, fused utility terminals and interconnecting wiring. All of these
components are housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure that is suitable for both
indoor and outdoor installations.
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.
