RONK Automatic Transfer Switch Owner’s Manual

INSTALLATION & WIRING

GENERAL INFORMATION

All RONK Automatic  transfer switches are factory-tested and 
approved. Installation requires the mounting of the transfer 
switch and external wiring for utility and generator operation. 
Once the transfer switch is properly installed, it should be 
visually inspected and approved before any testing is performed.

MOUNTING LOCATION

All RONK Automatic transfer switches require that adequate 
lifting means be used to install the switch at its mounting 
location. Be certain to choose a location that offers a flat 
mounting surface that can support the transfer switch. Caution 
must be taken at the installation site to make sure the site is 
free from excessive moisture, fluctuating temperature ranges, 
dust, corrosive materials, etc. Before any drilling takes place, be 
certain the drilling area is free of any hazards including electrical 
wiring, piping, etc. Extreme caution  should be exercised when 
any installation and drilling are performed to protect the transfer 
switch from any debris including contaminants, filings, etc. 
Any debris within the transfer switch may result in a system 
malfunction.

!

WARNING

Always use adequate lifting to lift and mount the 
transfer switch during installation.

SHORT CIRCUIT WITHSTAND/CLOSING RATINGS, ANY CIRCUIT BREAKER (ANY CB) 

When protected by a circuit breaker, this transfer switch is suitable for use in a circuit capable of delivering the short-circuit current for 

the maximum time duration and voltage marked below.

SPECIFIC CIRCUIT BREAKER MANUFACTURER AND TYPE (SPECIFIC CB) 

When protected by a circuit breaker of the specific manufacture, type, and ampere rating as marked below, this transfer switch is 

suitable for use in circuits capable of delivering the short-circuit current at the maximum voltage marked.

MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

The enclosure has a NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturer’s 
Association) Type 4 rating and is suitable for indoor/outdoor 
installations and provides a degree of protection against falling 
rain and sleet. Guidelines for mounting the unit include:

• Ensure that the mounting surface can support the weight of the 

switch and adheres to all local codes.

• The enclosure must be installed with NEMA Type 4 hardware 

and connections.

• Level and plumb the unit enclosure to prevent deformation.

• Never install the switch where any corrosive substance may 

come in contact with the enclosure.

• Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture, dust, 

dirt, lint, construction grit and corrosive vapors.
