TP-6807 12/11 6 Safety Precautions and Instructions
Servicing the transfer switch.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Deenergize all
power sources before servicing. Turn
off the main circuit breakers of all
transfer switch power sources and
disable all generator sets as follows:
(1) Move all generator set master
controller switches to the OFF position.
(2) Disconnect power to all battery
chargers.
(3) Disconnect all battery
cables, negative (--) leads first.
Reconnect negative (--) leads last when
reconnecting the battery cables after
servicing. Follow these precautions to
prevent the starting of generator sets
by an automatic transfer switch, remote
start/stop
switch, or engine start
command from a remote computer.
Before
servicing any components
inside the enclosure: (1) Remove all
jewelry. (2) Stand on a dry, approved
electrically insulated mat.
(3) Test
circuits with a voltmeter to verify that
they are deenergized.
Heavy Equipment
Unbalanced weight.
Improper lifting can cause severe
injury or death and equipment
damage.
Use adequate lifting capacity.
Never leave the transfer switch
standing upright unless it is securely
bolted in place or stabilized.
WARNING
Notice
NOTICE
Foreign material contamination.
Cover the transfer switch during
installation to keep dirt, grit, metal drill
chips, and other debris out of the
components.
Cover the solenoid
mechanism during installation. After
installation, use the manual operating
handle to cycle the contactor to verify
that it operates freely. Do not use a
screwdriver to force the contactor
mechanism.
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge damage.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damages electronic circuit boards.
Prevent
electrostatic discharge
damage by wearing an approved
grounding wrist strap when handling
electronic circuit boards or integrated
circuits. An approved grounding wrist
strap provides a high resistance (about
1 megohm),
not a direct short , to
ground .
