Introduction Zenith Transfer Switches are used to provide a continuous source of power for lighting and other critical loads by automatically transferring from the normal source of power to an emer- gency source of power in the event that the normal source voltage falls below preset limits.
(Can Cause Severe Injury or Death) Turn OFF all power before installation, adjustment, or removal of transfer switch or any of its components. Each Zenith transfer switch is factory wired and tested. A complete information package is furnished with each switch which includes: a.
When lifting the switch using a spreader bar, height H must be equal to half of distance D. Power Connections Tightening Torque for Lugs Torque Socket Size Zenith transfer switches are supplied with Across Flats Lb. - In. Lb. - Ft. UL listed solderless screw type terminals...
