Parallax ATS 5070 FI Manual

MOUNTING LOCATION
Qualified service personnel should install the ATS 5070 series
meeting all applicable codes and standards.
The ATS 5070 series may be mounted in any position, leaving room for
routing shoreline, generator and load conductors. To minimize voltage
drop in the wiring the transfer switch should be located as close to the
generator and shoreline cord entrance as practical.
DO NOT mount the ATS 5070 series in the generator compartment.
The ATS 5070 series is not ignition protected, and therefore should not
be mounted in the same compartment as batteries or flammable materials
such as gasoline. It may be mounted in the cabin or living area or a
basement compartment, but is not suitable for outside locations.
