Introduction
The CSW-TS15 is a 15-amp AC transfer switch that is designed to automatically switch the AC load connections between Utility power (or generator) and the AC output of Magnum’s CSW1012 inverter.
WARNINGS: Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
All wiring should be performed by a certifi ed technician or electrician in compliance with all applicable electrical safety wiring regulations.
The transfer switch is rated for indoor use only. Keep the unit away from moist or damp areas. Never expose the unit to snow, water, etc,.
Do not use the transfer switch in the vicinity of fl ammable fumes or gases (such as propane tanks or large engines).
Do not disassemble the transfer switch. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Before installing or using, read this entire manual and adhere to all cautionary markings located on the inverter and on the batteries.
Installing the CSW-TS15 Transfer Switch
CAUTION: Incorrect connection of the AC input source to the AC
output may result in equipment damage or a fire hazard.
CAUTION: All AC wiring should be copper with a minimum temper­ature rating of 105°C and sized to #12 AWG (3.3 mm²) minimum. Torque wiring connections to 16-18 lbf-in (1.8-2.0 N-m).
Use the following steps to assist in wiring the CSW-TS15. Before beginning, refer to Figure 1 to view a basic installation diagram; and to Figure 2 for information on wiring to the terminal block in the CSW-TS15.
1. Ensure all power sources are disconnected or turned off prior to beginning the installation process.
2. Remove the two screws that attach the wiring compartment cover to the transfer switch unit. Remove the cover.
3. Connect AC Input wires (line, neutral, ground) to the AC Input 2 (Utility) terminals, and then route these wires through the strain relief to a 15A branch circuit on the main AC source panel - powered by utility power (or generator).
4. Connect AC Output wires (line, neutral, ground) to the AC Output (Load) terminals, and then route these wires through the strain relief to a branch circuit sub-panel that is connected to the inverter loads.
5. Tighten both strain reliefs and re-attach the wiring compartment cover.
6. Plug the transfer switch’s AC Input 1 (Inverter) cord into the GFCI outlet on the CSW1012 inverter.
7. Test the transfer switch to ensure it is installed and working correctly ­refer to the Functional Test.
