Installation Guidance, Tips & Tricks

Choose Suitable Outdoor Location: Install the enclosed switch outdoors where it is easy to reach and see, and positioned to avoid accidental bumps or obstructions.

 

Clearly Label Power Sources: Label Eskom and generator sides so users can identify the active supply and change over confidently when needed.

 

Use Manual Change-Over Correctly: Operate the manual switch to change between Eskom and generator during load shedding, maintenance, or planned changeovers, following a clear, deliberate action.

 

Test Operation Periodically: Periodically perform a manual change-over and return to confirm the switch moves smoothly and provides the clear switching point you expect.

 

Keep Enclosure Clean And Closed: Keep the durable enclosure clean and fully closed to help protect the switch in everyday use, especially in outdoor environments.
