Installation

We sincerely appreciate your patronage and have made significant
effort to provide for a safe, streamlined and cost-effective
installation. Because each installation is unique, it is impossible
to know of and advise the trade of all conceivable procedures and
methods by which installation might be achieved. Neither could we
know of possible hazards and/or the results of each
method or procedure.
For these reasons, only current licensed electrical professionals
should attempt system installations . Installations must strictly
comply with all applicable codes, industry standards
and regulations .
Your equipment is supplied with this Operator's Manual and an
Installation Manual. These are important documents and should be
retained by the owner after the installation has been completed.
Every effort has been made to make sure that the information
in this manual is both accurate and current. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise
improve the system at any time without prior notice.
NOTICE Before drilling conduit entry holes, or any other holes,
cover and protect the switch and electronics to prevent dirt and
metal fragments from entering the mechanical and electrical
components. Failure to do so may result in damage or malfunction
of the switch.
NOTICE Use a vacuum to clean any dirt or metal shavings inside
the transfer switch. Do not use a blower or compressed air to clean
the inside of the transfer switch because debris may become lodged
in the electrical and mechanical components causing damage or
malfunction.

Home Owner Responsibilities

To help you make informed choices and communicate effectively
with your installation contractor(s), read and understand Owner
Orientation before contracting or starting your
equipment installation .
To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which you
purchased your equipment, your dealer, or your utility
power provider.
The equipment warranty is VOID unless the system is installed by
licensed electrical professionals .

Owner Orientation

The illustrations provided are for typical circumstances and are
meant to familiarize you with the installation options available with
your system.
Local codes, appearance, and distances are the factors that must
be considered when negotiating with an installation professional.
As the distance from the existing electrical service increases,
compensation in wiring materials must be allowed for. This is
necessary to comply with local codes and overcome electrical
voltage drops.
These factors will have a direct effect on the overall price of your
equipment installation .
Your installer must check local codes AND obtain permits before
installing the system.
