Installation Guidance, Tips & Tricks
Power Down Before Work: Turn off all power sources before mounting or wiring the switch to prevent accidental energizing during installation.
Mount On DIN Rail Indoors: Install the switch on a suitable DIN rail in a dry indoor location, consistent with its IP20 rating.
Connect Two Power Sources: Route the utility supply and the backup supply to the switch, then connect the outgoing circuit to be changed over.
Verify Manual Changeover Operation: Operate the handle through each position to confirm it selects only one source at a time and supplies the intended circuit.
Respect The 63A Rating: Ensure the connected load does not exceed 63A to stay within the switch’s stated maximum load.
