Auxiliary Contact
See
. If desired, there is one normally-closed
auxiliary contact (A) on the transfer switch to operate
customer accessories, remote advisory lights, or remote
annunciator devices. A suitable power source must be
connected to common terminal. If needed, an extra auxil-
iary contact can be added.
The auxiliary contact is normally closed when transfer
switch is in utility mode. Contacts will open when transfer
switch is in standby mode.
NOTE:
Auxiliary contact is rated 10 amps at 125 or 250
volts AC, and 0.6 amps at 125 volts DC.

Fault Current Identification Label
See
. A Fault Current Identification Label is
provided in the bag containing the unit owner’s manual
and transfer switch manual operating handle. The 2017
NEC requires the short-circuit current rating of the trans-
fer equipment, based on type of overcurrent protective
device protecting transfer equipment, be field marked on
the exterior of the transfer equipment. For NEC compli-
ance, verify required short-circuit current rating of trans-
fer switch before installation. The completed label
provides the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)
with information they may require during inspection.
Apply label to the exterior of the transfer switch enclo-
sure. Use a pen to fill in required information, and then
cover label with the clear protective decal.

NOTE:
The 2020 NEC code change omits this field
labeling requirement for one- and two-family dwelling
units.
