Before beginning any installation, make sure
power is shut OFF to the main distribution
panel and carefully read the Installation Guide
that came with your transfer switch.
The distributed load center switch must be
mounted close enough to the main distribution
panel to accommodate the two-foot, pre-wired
conduit. Make sure no water or corrosive
substances can drip onto the transfer switch
enclosure.
Always inspect the switch for shipping damage.
Never mount a transfer switch that shows any
evidence of damage.
Protect against impact and mount the switch
vertically to a rigid support structure. Make
sure the switch is level and plumb.
Your transfer switch is an open transition
switch. Open transition switches prevent
electrical feedback between the generator and
the utility by only allowing load circuits to be
connected to one power supply at a time.
Each wire in the pre-wired transfer switch is
color-coded so you can easily match circuits
in the main panel to their new breakers in the
transfer switch.
