Installation and Operator’s Manual
Installer Responsibilities
• Read and observe the safety rules.
• Read and follow the instructions given in this manual.
• Check federal, state and local codes.
• Ensure generator is not overloaded with selected loads.
Equipment Description
These new generation transfer switches are intended to
operate compatible electrical loads of normal residential
installations.The load is connected either to utility power
(normal) or home standby power (generator).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 2 pole
contactor switches, control circuit board, fused utility
terminals and interconnecting wiring.
The transfer switch is coil-operated from utility or
generator inputs and contains suitable electrical interlock
switches to eliminate the possibility of connecting the
utility service to the generator output. It has ratings
capable of switching generator power into the residence.
The control module 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 lights indicating the
power sources available.
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
