Mounting Guidelines - Briggs & Stratton 200 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

Mounting Guidelines

The 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 enclosure must be installed with minimum
NEMA 3R hardware for conduit connections.
• 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 installation of the automatic transfer switch is
depicted below. An alternative installation is also depicted.
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.
