TP-5700 7/93 V Safety Precautions and Instructions
Servicing the transfer switch
controls and accessories within the
enclosure. Hazardous voltage can
cause
severe injury or death.
Disconnect the transfer switch controls
at the inline connector to deenergize
the circuit boards and logic circuitry but
allow the transfer switch to continue to
supply power to the load. Disconnect
all power sources to accessories that
are mounted within the enclosure but
are not wired through the controls and
deenergized
by inline connector
separation. Test circuits with a
voltmeter to verify that they are
deenergized before servicing.
