Mounting Guidelines

The transfer switch system circuitry is enclosed in a NEMA Type 3R
enclosure suitable for indoor/outdoor use. Guidelines for mounting
the enclosure include:
• Install enclosure on a firm, sturdy supporting structure.
• The transfer switch enclosure must be installed with
minimum NEMA 3R hardware for conduit connections.
• To prevent switch contact distortion, level and plumb the
enclosure. This can be done by placing washers between the
enclosure and the mounting surface.
• NEVER install the switch where any corrosive substance
might drip onto the enclosure.
• Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture,
dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and corrosive vapors.

A typical automatic transfer switch installation is depicted below. It
is best if the transfer switch is mounted near the utility meter, either
inside or outside. Discuss layout suggestions/ changes with the
owner before beginning the system installation process.
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.
