5. Install Mounting Bracket
Drill three 1/8” diameter pilot holes in the side of the stud adjacent to the mounting side
of the Mounting Bracket. In order to align the slots in the side of the Mounting Bracket,
these holes should be spaced approximately 3/4” in from the front surface of the stud,
and at a vertically spaced distance as follows:
For 6-circuit Protran® transfer switches: 4 inches
For 10-circuit Protran® transfer switches: 7 inches
The side of the Mounting Bracket may be used as a template. Insert the #10 Slotted
Hex Washer Head screws provided, and run them in to within about 1/8 inch from
seating. Place the Mounting Bracket on these screws.
6. Adjust front surface of trim tabs to front surface of wall
In order for the Flush Trim to fit flush against the finished wall, the front surfaces of the
Mounting Bracket trim tabs must be located even with the front surface of the finished
wall. This can be done by locating the front surface of the Mounting Bracket trim tabs
from the front face of the stud at a distance that is equal to the finished wall thickness.
Tighten the three screws firmly.
7. Install Protran® to Mounting Bracket Frame
Attach the Protran® transfer switch to the Mounting Bracket. Use four of the 8-32 x 1/4”
Phillips Pan Head screws provided. Tighten firmly.
8. Connect the Protran® to the load center and the auxiliary power source
Follow the wiring instructions furnished with the Protran® transfer switch.
9. Finishing Up
Replace wiring compartment cover removed in Step 1. After the finished wall is
installed, attach the flush trim to the mounting bracket trim tabs with the remaining four
8-32 x 1/4” Phillips Pan Head screws.
FOR EXISTING CONSTRUCTION (WITH FINISHED WALL IN PLACE)
Follow the same basic instructions as above.
The size of the rectangular hole opening that you will need to make in the wall will be 10 inches
wide by 11 inches high for 6-circuit Protran® models, and 10 inches wide by 17 inches high for
10-circuit models. Approximately 3/4 to 1 inch of this opening should overlap the stud to which
the Mounting Bracket will be attached in order to allow clearance for the trim mounting tabs.
Excess wall removal and replacement adjacent to the transfer switch will not normally be
necessary. However, in order to attach the end of the conduit whip to the load center, some
wall removal and replacement adjacent to the load center and the conduit whip will probably be
required.
