ReadySwitch
™
Prior to Installation: Site Preparation
Prepare installation site according to local codes.
The PowerGATE® ReadySwitch™ is to be secured to a building
using appropriate 3/8“ fasteners (See Figure 1).
The surface where the PowerGATE® ReadySwitch™ is to be
secured must be capable of supporting the weight of the cabinet
as well as the cables attached to it.
The following should be taken into consideration when locating
the PowerGATE® ReadySwitch™:
– Identify and meet local codes and local Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ)
– The PowerGATE® ReadySwitch™ is designed for exterior
operation ONLY
– To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning from improperly
ventilated generator emissions, the PowerGATE®
ReadySwitch™ must be mounted outdoors only. The
mounting location is to be carefully selected to allow
convenient connection to a generator and located a suitable
distance away from any building openings or HVAC inlets.
– Proper clearance must be allowed in front of the
PowerGATE® ReadySwitch™ to allow for opening of access
doors and attachment of externally connected cables. This
distance should be no less than six (6) feet from the face of
the panel.
Shipment: Unpacking and Inspection
– While keylock protection is provided, access by unauthorized
personnel and vandals should be taken into consideration
when locating this device.
NOTE:
Be careful in the use of sharp object when cutting
packaging as scratching of outer coating may result in rusting.
Perform a visual inspection to ensure the door and handles are in
functioning condition and that the panel integrity is intact.
