3.4 Transfer Switch Mounting
1. Consider the location before mounting the transfer switch.
• Consider the proximity to the utility service entrance and breaker panel.
There must be a service disconnect (circuit breaker or fuses) in the power
line ahead of the transfer switch, unless a service entrance rated automatic
transfer switch is being used.
• Keep safety concerns in mind. Never mount the transfer switch near
hazardous chemicals or gases.
• Avoid high humidity areas or areas prone to excessive heat or dust.
2. Make sure that the wall is stable and able to support the weight of the transfer
switch.
3. Make sure that the transfer switch is mounted according to all applicable
building code requirements.
4. Mount the transfer switch per the instructions in the RA Series Transfer Switch
Owner Manual.
NOTICE
Seismic zone installations require compliance to specific mounting
configurations.
