For GE parts and service, call: (773) 299-6600

GE Zenith Transfer Switches are used to provide a continuous source of power for lighting and other critical loads by
automatically transferring from source 1 power to source 2 power in the event that source 1 voltage falls below preset limits.

Voltage sensing and system control is performed via a state-of-the-art microcontroller located on the cabinet door.
It is designed to give highly accurate control of the transfer switch system.

All GE Zenith transfer switches are designed for use on emergency or standby systems, and are rated for total system or
motor loads. Transfer switches are UL Listed under Standard 1008 and CSA Certified under Standard C22.2 No. 178 and
IEC Listed under Standard 947.

NOTE

S: A protective device such as a molded case circuit breaker or fused 

disconnect switch MUST be installed on both sources of incoming 
power for circuit protection and as a disconnection device.

All references made within this manual about the term “S1” or 
“Source 1” relate to a Normal Power Source. All references made 
about the term “S2” or “Source 2” relate to an Emergency 
or Alternative Power Source.
