2-Position Contactor Based
Non-Automatic Transfer Switch
Section 2: Receiving, Handling, and
Storage
2.1 Receiving
Every effort is made to ensure that the non-automatic transfer
switch equipment arrives at its destination undamaged and ready
for installation. Packing is designed to protect internal compo-
nents as well as the enclosure. Care should be exercised, how-
ever, to protect the equipment from impact at all times. Do not
remove the protective packaging until the equipment is ready for
installation.
When the non-automatic transfer switch equipment reaches its
destination, the customer should inspect the shipping container
for any obvious signs of rough handling and/or external damage
that occurred during transportation. Record any external and
internal damage for reporting to the transportation carrier and
Eaton, once a thorough inspection is complete. All claims should
be as specific as possible and include the catalog and General
Order numbers.
A shipping label affixed to the shipping container includes a vari-
ety of equipment and customer information, such as General
Order Number and catalog numbers. Make certain that this infor-
mation matches other shipping paper information.
Each transfer switch is packed securely with appropriate ship-
ping materials to prevent damage during shipment. Do not
remove or discard the packing material until the equipment is
ready for installation.
Once the top packaging is removed from the shipment, the
enclosure door can be opened. A plastic bag of documents will
be found in the enclosure, usually attached to the inside of the
enclosure. Important documents, such as test reports, wiring
diagrams, and appropriate instruction leaflets, are enclosed
within the bag and should be filed in a safe place.
2.2 Handling
As previously mentioned, non-automatic transfer switch equip-
ment is packaged for forklift movement. Protect the equipment
from impact at all times and DO NOT double stack.
Once the equipment is at the installation location and ready to be
installed, packaging material can be removed and discarded.
Once the enclosure is unbolted from the wooden pallet, it can be
hand moved to its installation position. Be careful not to damage
the top or bottom enclosure mounting flanges. Refer to Section
4 of this manual for specific installation instructions.
2.3 Storage
Although well packaged, this equipment is not suitable for out-
door storage. The equipment warranty will not be applicable if
there is evidence of outdoor storage. If the equipment is to be
stored indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with its
protective packaging material in place. Protect the equipment at
all times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive
conditions, and other contaminants.
It is strongly suggested that the package-protected equipment be
stored in a climate-controlled environment with temperatures
from -30 to 85°C (-22 to 185°F) and with a relative humidity of
80% or less. DO NOT, under any circumstance, stack other
equipment on top of a transfer switch equipment enclosure,
whether packaged or not.
