INSTALLATION (continued)
1 --- 2
De–energize the conductors before making any
line or auxiliary circuitry connections. Be sure
that Normal and Emergency line connections
are in proper phase rotation. Place engine
generator starting control in the OFF position.
Make sure engine generator is not in operation.
Testing Power Conductors
Do not connect the power conductors to the ADTB
until they are tested. Installing power cables in
conduit, cable troughs, and ceiling-suspended hangers
often requires considerable force. The pulling of
cables can damage insulation and stretch or break the
conductor’s strands. For this reason, after the cables
are pulled into position, and before they are connected
they should be tested to verify that they are not
defectiveorhavebeendamagedduringinstallation.
Protect the switch from construction grit
and metal chips to prevent malfunction or
shortened l ife of the ADTB switch.
Connecting Power Conduc tors
A Wiring Diagram is furnished with the ADTB. All
wiring must be made in accordance with the local
codes. After the power cables have been tested,
connect them to the appropriate terminal lugs o n the
Bypass Switch as shown on the wiring diagram
provided with this ADTB. Make sure that the lugs
providedaresuitableforusewiththecablesbeing
installed. Standard terminal lugs are solderless screw
type and will accept the wire sizes listed on the
drawings provided with the ADTB. Be careful when
stripping insulation from conductors; avoid nicking or
ringing the conductor. Remove surface oxides from
conductors by cleaning with a wire brush. Follow
conductor manufacturer’s instructions when aluminum
conductor is used. Apply joint compound to conductor,
then carefully wipe away excess compound. Tighten
the cable lugs to the torque specified on the rating
label.
Be sure that the Normal and Emergency power
connections are in proper phase rotation.
Bus Connections
If bus connectio n is used, use SAE grade 5 hardware to
connect bus to appropriate terminal plates on bypass
switching device. Wipe off bus surfaces before they are
joined. If bus is dirty, gently clean surfaces with a
non-flammable solvent. Avoid touching cleaned
surfaces.
Do not breathe cleaning solvent vapors.

The reliability o f the connection d epends

Harnesses
All internal connections are made at the factory. The
bypass switch, transfer switch, and control panel are
joined together by an interconnecting wire harness.
The disconnect plugs are already engaged on enclosed
switches. For open–type switches, the plugs must be
engaged after installation is completed. Align harness
plugs with sockets in the control and push them
together until they are secure.
Controller Ground
A grounding wire must be connected to the controller’s
lower left mounti ng stud. Because the controller is
mounted on the enclosure door, a conductive strap
must be used between the enclosure and the door.
This connection provides proper grounding which doe s
not rely upon the door hinges.
Engine Starting Contacts
and Auxiliary Circuits
The engine control contact si gnal connections and
auxiliary circuits are located on terminal block TB as
shownontheWirin g Diagram provided with the ADTB.
Connect the signal wires to the appropria te terminals.
