General Information
6 Automatic Transfer Switch Owner’s Manual
Transfer Switch Data Decal
See Figure 2-2 . A data decal is permanently affixed to
the transfer switch enclosure. Use this transfer switch
only with the specific limits shown on the data decal and
on other decals and labels that may be affixed to the
switch. This will prevent damage to equipment and prop-
erty.
Figure 2-2. Data Decal Location
When requesting information or ordering parts for this
equipment, make sure to include all information from the
data decal.
For future reference, record the serial number in the
space provided on the front cover of this manual.
Transfer Switch Enclosure
The standard switch enclosure is a National Electrical
Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) and UL/CUL 3R
type. UL/CUL and NEMA 3R (indoor/outdoor rated) type
enclosures primarily provide a degree of protection
against falling rain and sleet; are undamaged by the
formation of ice on the enclosure.
Safe Use of Transfer Switch
Before installing, operating or servicing this equipment,
read the
Safety Rules carefully. Comply strictly with all
Safety Rules to prevent accidents and/or damage to the
equipment. The manufacturer recommends that a copy
of the
Safety Rules be posted near the transfer switch.
Also, be sure to read all instructions and information
found on tags, labels and decals affixed to the
equipment.
The following publications outline the safe use of transfer
switches:
•
Canadian Electrical Code CE; CSA C22.1
•
NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety In The
Workplace
•
UL/CUL 1008: Standard for Safety—Automatic
Transfer Switches
NOTE: It is essential to use the latest version of any
standard to ensure correct and current information.
Load Management Options
Load management systems are designed to work
together to prevent a generator from being overloaded by
large appliance loads. A Smart A/C Module (SACM) is
standard in these switches. An optional Smart Manage-
ment Module (SMM) is also available.
Smart A/C Module (SACM)
Up to four air conditioner loads can be managed by the
SACM. The SACM manages the loads by “shedding” the
connected loads in the event of a drop in generator fre-
quency (overload). Loads to be “shed” are in four priority
levels on the module.
See
Figure 2-3 . Priorities A/C 1-4 (A) have connections
for an air conditioner. To control an air conditioner, no
additional equipment is required. Internal normally closed
relays interrupt the 24 VAC thermostat control signal to
disable the air conditioner load.
