2-Position Contactor Based
Non-Automatic Transfer Switch
Non-automatic transfer switch enclosures and all internal steel
mounting plates, such as the power panel mounting plate, go
through a pretreatment cleaning system prior to painting to
ensure a durable finish.
The standard non-automatic transfer switch enclosure is NEMA 1
Type for general use. However, a variety of enclosures are avail-
able to address almost any environmental circumstance (see
Table 3).

3.7 Standards
Eaton non-automatic transfer switch equipment, enclosed in any
of the enclosures listed in Table 3, is listed for application by UL
and ULC. In addition, Eaton non-automatic transfer switches are
listed in File E38116 by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. under
Standard UL 1008. This standard covers requirements for auto-
matic and non-automatic transfer switches intended for use in
ordinary locations to provide lighting and power as follows:
a. In emergency systems, in accordance with articles 517
and 700 in the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70,
and the National Fire Protection Association No. 76A;
and/or
b. In standby systems, in accordance with article 702 of the
National Electrical Code; and/or
c. In legally required standby systems in accordance with
article 701 of the National Electrical Code.
Eaton non-automatic transfer switches are available to meet
NFPA 110 for emergency and standby power systems, and
NFPA 99 for health care facilities when ordered with the appro-
priate options.
Standard UL 1008 for automatic and non-automatic transfer
switches lists devices under the reexamination program which
only require a continual physical reexamination of the compo-
nents used in the product to ensure consistency with the origi-
nally submitted device. Follow-up testing is not required by UL
1008.

Section 4: Installation and Wiring
4.1 General
Eaton non-automatic transfer switches are factory wired and
tested. Installation requires solidly mounting the enclosed unit
and connecting power cables and auxiliary pilot circuits. Physi-
cal mounting procedures and power cable connections are cov-
ered in this section. All other required wiring or electrical
connection references are covered in a separate Customer Wiring
Booklet packaged with the non-automatic transfer switch.
Locate the wiring schematic, review it, and keep it readily avail-
PROTECTION
able for reference purposes during installation and testing. Once
a non-automatic transfer switch is properly installed and wired, it
Enclosed Equipment
should be mechanically and electrically checked for proper instal-
lation and operation. The procedures for these initial mechanical
Rain, Ice Formation
and electrical checks are outlined in Section 6 of this instruction
Dust, Dirt, and
manual.
Non-Corrosive Liquids
BE CERTAIN THAT THE SOLID STEEL DOOR IS PROPERLY
INSTALLED BEFORE THE TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIPMENT IS PUT
INTO SERVICE. THE DOOR PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM DAN-
GEROUS VOLTAGES AT THE LINE AND LOAD TERMINALS WHEN
THE EQUIPMENT IS IN OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
4.2 Mounting Location
Choose a location that offers a flat, rigid mounting surface capa-
ble of supporting the weight of the enclosed non-automatic
transfer switch equipment. For standard non-automatic transfer
switches, avoid locations that are moist, hot, or dusty. How-
ever, Eaton offers optional enclosure designs that can be used in
special environments. If there are any doubts as to a location's
suitability, discuss them with your Eaton representative.
Check to make certain that there are no pipes, wires, or other
mounting hazards in the immediate mounting area that could cre-
ate a problem.
Carefully remove all packing material from the non-automatic
transfer switch at the mounting location. Even though an equip-
ment inspection should have been made when the equipment
was received, make another careful inspection of the enclosure
and the enclosed non-automatic transfer switch components as
the packing material is removed and the enclosure readied for
mounting. Be especially alert for distorted metal, loose wires, or
damaged components.
