FIGURE 1: PRE-WIRED POWERSTAY MTS VINTAGE
B. For manual transfer switches with Flanged Inlets see below, otherwise, proceed to Step C:
1. For PRE-WIRED and POWERSTAY models: Locate neutral (white) wire terminated in the back of the flanged inlet and the neutral
buss bar in the transfer switch. Disconnect the neutral (white) wire from the neutral buss bar.
2. For VINTAGE models, cut the neutral (white) wire terminated in the back of the flanged inlet 3” from the back of the flanged inlet
and strip 5/8” insulation from both cut ends.
C. Terminate COM1 and COM2 wires:
1. For PRE-WIRED and POWERSTAY models: Locate and strip 5/8” insulation from the 2 -15” gray wires labeled COM1 and COM2
and terminate both to the manual transfer switch neutral buss bar.
2. For VINTAGE models, using one of the supplied red wire connectors, connect the stripped gray COM1 and COM2 wires with the
neutral (white) wire stripped in Step B2 that is part of the wire harness.
D. Terminate NO1, NO2 and RET wires:
1. Locate and strip 5/8” insulation from the 3-15” gray wires marked NO1, NO2 and RET.
2. For manual transfer switches with Flanged Inlets, using one of the supplied red wire connectors (Item C), connect together the 3
wires marker NO1, NO2 and RET with the neutral (white) wire disconnected from the neutral buss bar in Step B1.
3. For manual transfer switches without Flanged Inlets, connect these 3 wires with the generator neutral (white) wire coming from
the Power Inlet Box.
4. For VINTAGE models, connect these 3 wires with the 3” neutral (white) wire stripped in Step B2.
E. Install insulated terminal block (Item D) in load center:
1. Identify and disconnect from the load center neutral buss bar all branch circuit neutral (white) wires for the circuits that have been
connected to the transfer switch.
2. Locate the provided insulated terminal block close to the load center neutral buss bar and reconnect the branch circuit neutral
(white) wires to the insulated terminal block removed in Step E1 above.
3. Connect the neutral (white) wire in the wiring harness coming from the transfer switch to the insulated terminal block
F. Terminate GEN wire:
1. Locate and strip 5/8” insulation from the 15” red wire marked GEN.
2. For PRE-WIRED and POWERSTAY models, terminate the red GEN wire along with the generator input wire into one of the GEN
circuit breaker lugs in the transfer switch. Torque to recommended specification.
3. For the VINTAGE models, remove the red wire from the “X” terminal of the flanged inlet. Cut and strip a 5” piece of wire off of
the red GEN wire. Connect the 5” piece of red wire into the “X” terminal of the flanged inlet. Using one of the supplied red wire
connectors (Item C), connect together the 5” red wire, the red wire removed from the flanged inlet and the 10” red GEN wire.
Installation is now complete.
STEP 3: USING YOUR GEN/TRAN
®
SWITCHED NEUTRAL KIT:
NEVER run portable generators indoors or in garages, basements, or sheds. Portable generators should always be used at least 5 feet away from windows, doors,
vents, or any other opening. Carbon Monoxide (CO) from a generator is deadly and can kill you in minutes. Read and follow all generator directions before use.
The operation of the Switched Neutral Kit occurs automatically and requires no operator assistance. When the transfer switch is in utility mode, the
utility neutral is connected to the circuits located in the transfer switch. When generator power is connected to the transfer switch, the Switched
Neutral Kit transfers the transfer switch circuits from utility to generator neutral. When generator power is disconnected, the Switched Neutral Kit
transfers back to utility neutral.
