Installation Instructions

Preparing for Installation

You will need the following items:

Electric drill
Screwdriver
Wire cutters/stripper
Hammer
Four anchors and screws
4, 6, 8 or 10 yellow wire connectors (depending on the model)
4 red wire connectors for the 20A and 30A hard-wire models
4 blue wire connectors for the 50A hard-wire models

The following five steps generally apply to all transfer switch installations. For flush
mounted units (model number begins with the letter "F"), please see the supplemental
installation instructions packaged with each unit, as they will supercede some of the
instructions shown here. For outdoor units (model number begins with the letter "R"),
connect the wires from the unit to the main panel per these installation instructions.
Please note the special conduit for the outdoor unit is included but not installed on the unit.
Install the conduit supplied using acceptable practices for a raintight application.

The transfer switch may be installed on either side of the load center.

1. Turn off the main circuit breaker in the load center to ensure your

safety.

2. Remove the cover of the load center.

3. Locate and remove a knockout (ko)

in the bottom of the load center
(Figure 2). Use a 1/2" ko for 4-circuit
models, a 3/4" ko for 6-circuit
models, and a l" ko for 8-to 10-circuit
models.

4. Insert the wires extending from the

end of the flexible conduit through
the ko. Attach the conduit connector
securely with the locknut provided.

5. Anchor the transfer switch to the wall

using the external feet. Do not
attempt to bend the flexible conduit
beyond its structural capabilities

.
