O&M Manual for 30-1000 Amperes
Manual Transfer Switch
Figure 5. Horizontal Design Automatic Transfer Switch Equipment
(30 - 100 Amperes)
1.4 Environmental Conditions
Seismic
With proper installation and by including the appropriate option
which includes specially designed cleats, transfer switches have a
seismic capability which exceeds the worst case Zone 4 required
levels per both the Uniform Building CodeT and the California
Building Code.
Operational Conditions
Normally, a transfer switch is applied indoors in an electrical
equipment room. In the appropriate enclosure, it can be used for
outdoor applications where the equipment is sub- ject to falling
rain, freezing temperatures and 95% humidity (non-condensing).
The ambient temperature range for operation is between -20 and
+70°C.
Section 2: Receiving, Handling, and
Storage
2.1 Receiving
Every effort is made to ensure that the ATS equipment arrives at
its destination undamaged and ready for installation. Packing is
designed to protect internal components as well as the enclosure.
Care should be exercised, however, to protect the equipment from
impact at all times. Do not remove the protective packaging until
the equipment is ready for installation.
When the ATS equipment reaches its destination, the customer
should inspect the shipping container for any obvious signs of
rough handling and/or external damage that occurred during trans-
portation. Record any external and internal damage for reporting
to the transportation carrier and Eaton, once a thorough inspection
is complete. All claims should be as specific as possible and
include the Shop Order and General Order numbers.
A shipping label is affixed to the top of the shipping container
which includes a variety of equipment and customer information,
such as General Order Number (GO#) and Catalog Number (Cat#).
Make certain that this information matches other shipping paper
information.
Each transfer switch enclosure is bolted through its top and bot-
tom mounting flanges to a rigid wooden pallet. The pallet is open
at two ends for movement by a fork lift. Heavy duty cardboard
sides surround the enclosure and are further supported with rein-
forced cardboard corner posts. An egg crate design cardboard pro-
tector covers the entire top of the enclosure with additional
cardboard protectors over the indicating light panel and operating
handle. A heavy duty cardboard lid covers the entire opening. The
shipment is secured and further protected with shrink wrap. Do
not discard the packing material until the equipment is ready for
installation.
Once the top packaging is removed from the shipment, the enclo-
sure door can be opened. A plastic bag of docu- ments will be
found within the enclosure, usually attached to the inside of the
door. Important documents, such as test reports, wiring diagrams,
appropriate instruction leaflets and a warranty registration card,
are enclosed within the bag and should be filed in a safe place.
2.2 Handling
As previously mentioned, ATS equipment is packaged for forklift
movement. Protect the equipment from impact at all times and DO
NOT double stack.
Once the equipment is at the installation location and ready to be
installed, packaging material can be removed and discarded. Once
the enclosure is unbolted from the wooden pallet, it can be hand
moved to its installation position. Be careful not to damage the top
or bottom enclosure mounting flanges. Refer to Section 4 of this
manual for specific installation instructions.
CAUTION
MAKE NOTE OF THE WARNING LABEL ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF
THE SHIPPING CONTAINER THAT WARNS AGAINST DOUBLE
STACKING TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIPMENT.
