Delivery Inspection; Mounting Guidelines - Briggs & Stratton 100 Manual De Instalación Y Operador

The generator controller has active circuits sensing utility and
generator voltages. The generator controller controls when the
generator starts up and when the transfer switch transfers to utility
or generator power. Status LEDs indicate the position the transfer
switch contactor is at

Delivery Inspection

After opening the carton, carefully inspect the transfer
switch components for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment.
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 transfer switch system circuitry is enclosed in a NEMA Type 3R
enclosure suitable for indoor/outdoor use. Guidelines for mounting
the enclosure include:
• Install enclosure on a firm, sturdy supporting structure.
• The transfer switch enclosure 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
enclosure and the mounting surface.
• NEVER install the switch or remote modules 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 automatic transfer switch installation is depicted below
and on the next few pages. Examples of remote module installations
are also shown. It is best if the transfer switch is mounted near the
utility meter, either inside or outside. Discuss layout suggestions/
changes with the owner before beginning the system installation
process
NOTICE Before drilling conduit entry holes, or any other holes,
cover and protect the switch and electronics to prevent dirt and
metal fragments from entering the mechanical and electrical
components. Failure to do so may result in damage or malfunction
of the switch. Wiring to generator must be enclosed in conduit.
NOTICE Use a vacuum to clean any dirt or metal shavings inside
the transfer switch. Do not use a blower or compressed air to clean
the inside of the transfer switch because debris may become lodged
in the electrical and mechanical components causing damage or
malfunction.
