Installing 240-volt Circuits
On certain models, two adjacent circuit selector switches may be used for 240-volt
operation. A handle tie is used to connect the two circuit selector switches for the following
circuits:
*Note: Circuits used for multi-wire branch circuits are not available for 240-volt
circuits
Removing handle ties. If there are no 240-volt or multi-wire circuits in the transfer switch
installation, handle-ties on the switches are not needed. To remove a handle tie, place the
handle-tied switch in the GEN position. Loosen the two screws and remove the handle tie.
Adding handle ties. If additional ties are needed to accommodate additional 240-volt
or multi-wire circuits, they can be added to adjacent pairs of switches according to the
table above.
Installing 240-volt circuit(s)
1. Locate the two red and two black wires for the circuits with the handle tie.
2. Turn off the double-pole breaker in the load center.
3. Loosen the screws that secure each wire to each circuit breaker. Disconnect the wires
from the circuit breakers.
4. Feed the two red wires from the handle-tied switch(es) to the double-pole circuit
breaker.
5. Cut the red wires to a convenient length. Strip 5/8" from the end of each wire. Connect
the two red wires to the double-pole circuit breaker.
6. Cut the black wires to a length convenient for aligning with wires removed from the
circuit breaker. Strip 5/8" from the end of each wire.
7. Insert one wire removed from the circuit breaker and one black wire into a yellow wire
connector. Twist to tighten and push the wires back into the wiring compartment of the
load center. Do the same for the other wire removed from the circuit breaker and the
other black wire from the transfer switch.
Repeat steps 1-7 for the other double-pole circuits (8- and 10-circuit models only).
For Indoor Surface Mount Models (those with no power inlet) or to hard-wire cord-
connected Models (those with a suffix "A" in the Model number), continue to the next
section entitled "Hard-wire Installation" to complete the installation.
For all other models, skip to "Completing the installation" on page 8.

Warning: Transfer switch circuits with 20 amp breakers (the ones with the red
caps) must be installed on only those branch circuits with 20 amp branch circuit
breakers. Transfer switch circuits with 15 amp breakers can be installed on 15
or 20 amp branch circuits. Do not install any transfer switch circuit on
branch circuits greater than 20 amps.
