INDOOR MANUAL TRANSFER SWITCHES

For Models 200660, 300660, 301660, 301060, 501210

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Gen/Tran transfer switches should be installed by a professional electrician familiar with electrical wiring and codes, and experienced in working with generators.

Gen/Tran accepts no responsibility for accidents, damages or personal injury caused by incorrect installation. These transfer switches are intended for surface or flush mounting

INDOORS only.

Caution: If using the generator and transfer switch for larger appliances, such as electric water heaters, clothes dryers, electric ranges and air conditioners, verify the appliances

to be sure they do NOT exceed the amperage rating of the generator. No one appliance can have an amperage rating that exceeds the transfer switch “GENERATOR MAIN” rating.

Note: This transfer switch will not operate properly with neutral-bonded generators unless the generator neutral-bonding feature is disabled or the optional Gen/Tran Switched

Neutral Kit (Model: SNK) is installed. Consult your generator manufacturer for directions to disable the neutral-bonding feature.

Note to Installer: Please leave this manual with the consumer for future reference.

Thank you for purchasing the most versatile manual transfer switch available today. Gen/Tran’s PowerStay

Manual Transfer Switches are designed to safely

connect generators and renewable energy sources to load centers in homes and light commercial buildings (single phase only) for backup power applications.

Features include:

•

NEW: This switch accommodates AFCI and GFCI circuit breakers (optional, available from Gen/Tran)

•

NEW: Sufficient ground and neutral termination positions for all branch circuits

•

NEW: Expand beyond 16 circuits using sub-feed lugs and adding a sub-panel

•

NEW: Accommodates neutral-bonded generators when SNK option is installed

•

Generator Main and Utility Main are mechanically interlocked preventing utility or

generator back feed

•

Full branch circuit protection with Siemens

circuit breakers

•

Dual wattmeters help monitor and balance generator load, prolonging generator life

•

Pre-assembled wire harness for easy connection to the load center

What is included in this carton:

A: Manual transfer switch for 6, 10 or 12 circuits

B: Wire harness, pre-assembled

C: Flexible non-metallic conduit (21.5”) and fittings (2)

D: Wire connectors (6, 10 or 12)

E: Male Flanged Power Inlet

F: Installation manual and Warranty Card

Tools Needed for Installation:

• ¼” nut driver, 2-1/8” hole saw (if flush mounting)

• Screwdrivers, straight blade and Phillips

• Electric drill, drill bits, wallboard saw

• Wire cutter/stripper

• Safety eye goggles

Other Items Needed for Installation:

• New 2-pole, 240V Breaker to mount in main load center – amperage to match utility breaker (see specifications Table I for Utility Main Breaker size – should be

manufactured by same as Main load center).

• Anchors and screws to mount switch to wall

Optional Items for Installation:

• Arc-fault, GFCI or Surge protection circuit breakers. If AFCI, GFCI or Surge protection circuit breakers are used as the branch circuit protector in the main load center,

they MUST be used in the manual transfer switch. You may be able to re-use your existing AFCI, GFCI and Surge protection circuit breakers in the manual transfer

switch. See above for compatible breakers. (Available through Gen/Tran).

• Power Inlet Box – for “hard-wired” installations. See TABLE 1. (Available through Gen/Tran).

• Wire, fittings and conduit to connect the Power Inlet Box to the transfer switch

• Power Cord to connect generator to transfer switch or Power Inlet Box. (Available through Gen/Tran).

• White, green, black and red THHN or MTW wire, 6 or 10 AWG, 300V rated (if breaker configuration is modified or expanded)

• Switched Neutral Kit (Model SNK) to accommodate neutral-bonded generators and local codes requiring neutral switching during generator use

*Note: Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) circuit breakers can take up more than one space; the maximum number of circuits may be reduced from the number shown. If you relocate an AFCI or GFCI protected circuit from the panelboard to the transfer switch, the AFCI or GFCI MUST be relocated to the transfer switch; install the AFCI or GFCI in the right side of the transfer switch, next to the neutral bar.

Step 3: USING YOUR TRANSFER SWITCH: 5. A. Transferring from Utility Power to Generator Power: 1. 2. 3. 4. Move generator outdoors. Then connect the male plug of the Power Cord into the correct outlet on the generator and turn ON the circuit breaker (on generator) for the outlet plugged into. Plug in the female connector of the Power Cord to the Power Inlet Box or the power inlet on the top of the PowerStay Manual Transfer Switch. Turn all circuit breakers in the transfer switch to their OFF position.
