The Go Power! 30-amp Transfer Switch (TS-30) provides automatic power switching between two separate 120 volt AC
input sources, including power cords, onboard generators, or onboard inverters. The TS-30 will sense the presence of
available power supplies and automatically select the proper one.
The TS-30 can be installed at the electrical entry of the RV on the line side of the main distribution panel, or it can be
installed on the load side of the panel between the main panel and a sub panel, allowing switching for either the entire
electrical load or only designated circuits.
2. INSTALLATION
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 DISCONNECT POWER
Make sure the generator is off, the external power cord is unplugged, and the inverter, if any, is shut off.
2.2 MOUNTING LOCATIONS
The TS-30 mounting location may be on any interior surface where the unit will be out of direct weather. The chosen location must
be accessible after installation is complete to facilitate future servicing. If possible, mount the TS-30 near the power cord entry or the
location of the generator output. Typical locations include under counter cabinets, below closet compartments, inside the bed pedestal or
cabinets, overhead cabinets, under-floor storage compartments accessed from the vehicle exterior, etc.
CAUTION: To prevent exposure to foreign contaminants, do not mount the transfer switch in an engine compartment
under kitchen sink drains or water pipes within the battery compartment or any compartment designed for storage of
flammable liquids such as gasoline.
2.3 ELECTRICAL PREPARATION
Any numbered knockout on the TS-30 can be used for installation. Choose a knockout that will facilitate installation and service within the
selected mounting area.
2.4 MOUNTING
Mount the TS-30 with screws through holes provided in bottom corners of the can. The unit should be screwed to a solid surface firmly
enough to hold its weight during vehicle operation.
2.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Attach an 8-gauge chassis ground wire to the transfer switch ground bar. A direct access hole to the ground bar is provided
through the enclosure for convenience.
2. Determine proper connections of wire conductors to electrical terminals. On 120 VAC wiring the ground wire is bare or
green, the neutral wire is white, and the hot wire is black.
3. Strip the outer jacket from all of the incoming cables and strip insulation from all ends of the copper conductors. Insert
cables through clamps in openings. Do not tighten cable clamps at this time.
4. Route internal ground wires around lower area of enclosure and secure to ground wires away from electrical contacts on
components to avoid the possibility of electrical short-circuit.
5. Connect the ground wires to the ground bar. Tighten terminals to a minimum of 20 inch-pounds.
6. Connect the neutral (white) wire connections.
7. Connect the hot wire(s) (black).
8. To connect the wire leads, strip the wire insulation 0.5 inches, insert the bare wire into the vacant hole and drop the lever
down to secure the wire in the connector.
9. Tighten cable clamps on switch enclosure.
10. Attach lid. The lid is designed to snap on and should not open without deliberate effort.
