Transfer Switch Installation Guidelines 5
I. TRANSFER SWITCH INSTALLATION:
1. Although this transfer switch can be installed above, below or on either side of the utility meter socket, the pre-
ferred location is to the RIGHT of the meter socket since the location of the lugs for the Utility Main are on the
Left side of the transfer switch. Knockouts (KO) are provided only in the bottom of the enclosure. However,
since the enclosure is aluminum, it is easy to cut in the desired knockout. If the KO is cut in above the live ter-
minals of the circuit breakers, a watertight hub should be used. NOTE: If a 2” KO is cut in the side of the Trans-
fer switch enclosure, the dead front panel may need to be “notched” to clear the 2” fittings. The back of the KO
must be 3/8” from the rear of the enclosure.
2. Loosen the thumb screw from the cover of the transfer switch, and slide the cover down to remove. The thumb
screw stays attached to the cover.
3. Remove the two screws from the bottom of the dead front. When the cover is pulled forward, the snap-in clos-
ing plates will fall out. Set the front cover and dead front aside for re-installation after wiring.
4. The mounting holes in the back of the transfer switch are on 16” centers so they could line up on your studs if
desired. We recommend using all four holes to mount the enclosure.
5. Select the bottom center 2” KO to exit to the Main distribution panel. Terminate the LOAD wires in the landing
lugs on the bottom of the bus assembly, one to the Neutral lug and one to the Ground lug on the right side of
the enclosure.
6. Terminate wires from the meter socket into the utility Main breaker on the left side, and the Neutral into the
unused lug on the insulated neutral bar.
