Mounting Guidelines
The Automatic Transfer Switch is enclosed in a NEMA Type
3R enclosure suitable for indoor/outdoor use. Guidelines
for mounting the Automatic Transfer Switch include:
• Install the switch on a firm, sturdy supporting structure.
• The switch must be installed with minimum NEMA 3R
hardware for conduit connections.
• To prevent switch contact distortion, level and plumb the
enclosure.This can be done by placing washers between
the switch enclosure and the mounting surface.
• NEVER install the switch where any corrosive substance
might drip onto the enclosure.
• Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture,
dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and corrosive vapors.
