Introduction ABB Zenith Transfer Switches are used to provide a continuous source of power for lighting and other critical loads by automatically transferring from Source 1 power to Source 2 power in the event that source 1 voltage falls below preset limits.
(Can Cause Severe Injury or Death) Turn OFF all power before installation, adjustment, or removal of transfer switch or any of its components. The safe operation of your switch is ABB Zenith’s focus. Check engine start connections. The proper storage, installation, operation and maintenance Verify the correct connection of all control wires.
Turn OFF all power before installation, adjustment, or removal of transfer switch or any of its components. Power Connections SPREADER BAR ABB Zenith transfer switches are supplied with UL listed 45° solderless screw type terminals as standard for the Source 1, Source 2 and Load power connections.
