Introduction GE Zenith Transfer Switches are used to provide a continuous source of power for lighting and other critical loads by auto- matically transferring from source 1 power to source 2 power in the event that source 1 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. The safe operation of your switch is GE Zenith’s focus. The proper storage, installation, operation and mainte- nance will help increase the life of the switch.
Turn OFF all power before installation, adjustment, or removal of transfer switch or any of its components. Power Connections GE Zenith transfer switches are supplied with UL listed solderless screw type terminals as standard for the Normal, Emergency and Load power connections.
