EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Manual Transfer Switch (MTS) is used to transfer selected electrical circuits up to 30A from utility (grid) power source to generator power source. The transfer time is extremely fast causing almost no recognized break in service. The transfer switch prevents electrical feedback between the two power sources. The transfer switch is neutral switching providing compatibility with generators that are equipped with GFCI receptacles.

NOTICE: The MTS is ONLY compatible with generators that provide 240VAC output voltage. The MTS is not compatible with generators that only provide 120VAC output voltage.

INSTALLATION

Unpacking

1. Use care when unpacking to avoid damaging transfer switch components.
2. Allow the MTS to acclimate to room temperature for a minimum of 24 hours before unpacking to prevent condensation on the electrical apparatus.
3. Use a wet/dry vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth to remove dirt and packing material that may have accumulated in the transfer switch or any of its components during storage.
4. Do not use compressed air to clean the switch, cleaning with compressed air can cause debris to lodge in the components and damage the switch.
5. Retain the manual with or near the MTS for future reference.

Location and Mounting Transfer Switch

WARNING: DO NOT install outdoors. The MTS enclosure is rated for indoor installations only. Although not required, it is recommended to install the MTS within 12 inches of the main distribution panel to utilize the included flexible conduit.
