TP-6322 9/04II Safety Precautions and Instructions
Hazardous Voltage/
Electrical Shock
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
Moving rotor.
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Electrocution
is possible whenever electricity is
present. Open the main circuit
breakers of all power sources before
servicing the equipment. Configure t he
installation to electrically ground the
generator set, transfer switch, and
related equipment and electrical
circuits to comply with applicable codes
and standards. Never contact
electrical leads or appliances when
standing in water or on wet ground
because these conditions increase the
risk of electrocution.
Connecting the battery and the
battery charger. Hazardous voltage
can cause severe injury or death.
Reconnect the battery correctly,
positive to positive and negative to
negative, to avoid electrical shock and
damage to the battery charger and
battery(ies). Have a qualified
electrician install the battery(ies).
Making line or auxiliary
connections. Hazardous voltage
can cause severe injury or death. To
prevent electrical shock deenergizethe
normal power source before making
any line or auxiliary connections.
Servicing the transfer switch.
Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. Deenergize all
power sources before servicing. Open
the main circuit breakers of all transfer
switch power sources and disable all
generator sets as follows: (1) Move all
generator set master controller
switches to the OFF position. (2)
Disconnect power to all battery
chargers. (3) Disconnect all battery
cables, negative (--) leads first.
Reconnect negative (--) leads lastwhen
reconnecting the battery cables after
servicing. Follow these precautions to
prevent the starting of generator sets
by an automatic transfer switch, remote
start/stop switch, or engine start
command from a remote computer.
Before servicing any components
inside the enclosure: (1) Remove all
jewelry. (2) Stand on a dry, approved
electrically insulated mat. (3) Test
circuits with a voltmeter to verify that
they are deenergized.
Servicing the transfer switch
controls and accessories within the
enclosure. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect the transfer switch controls
at the inline connector to deenergize
the circuit boards and logic circuitry but
allow the transfer switch to continue to
supply power to the load. Disconnect
all power sources to accessories that
are mounted within the enclosure but
are not wired through the controls and
deenergized by inline connector
separation. Test circuits with a
voltmeter to verify that they are
deenergized before servicing.
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Only authorized personnel should
open the enclosure.
DANGER
Short circuits. Hazardous
voltage/current can cause severe
injury or death. Short circuits can
cause bodily injury and/or equipment
damage. Do not contact electrical
connections with tools or jewelry while
making adjustments or repairs.
Remove all jewelry before servicing the
equipment.
Testing live electrical circuits.
Hazardous voltage or current can
cause severe injury or death. Have
trained and qualified personnel take
diagnostic measurements of live
circuits. Use adequately rated test
equipment with electrically insulated
probes and follow the instructions of the
test equipment manufacturer when
performing voltage tests. Observe the
following precautions when performing
voltage tests: (1) Remove all jewelry.
(2) Stand on a dry, approved electrically
insulated mat. (3) Do not touch the
enclosure or components inside the
enclosure. (4) Be prepared for the
system to operate automatically.
(600 volts and under)
Heavy Equipment
Unbalanced weight.
Improper lifting can cause severe
injury or death and equipment
damage.
Use adequate lifting capacity.
Never leave the transfer switch
standing upright unless it is securely
bolted in place or stabilized.
