INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Even with the main power switch
turned off, the wires on the utility side
of the main breaker are still live and
contact with them can cause serious
injury or death.

I. Mounting the
Easy/Tran
®
A.
Loosen the front plate by removing one screw on the front and
loosening the two screws on the bottom. Tilt the front plate forward
to access the mounting holes in the back of the cabinet.
B.
Position the
Easy/Tran TF
in the desirable location. When mounting
the suffix W model next to an electrical panel, position so that its
bottom center is about 18 inches from the bottom center of your load
center. The end of the flexible conduit whip should be lined up with
a 1/2” knockout hole on the bottom of your load center (Figure 2).
C.
Mark the position of the three mounting holes of the transfer switch
with a pencil.
D.
Secure the
EasyTran TF
to the mounting surface using appropriate
anchors.
E.
When feeding the generator power from a power inlet box (sold
separately), follow the installation instructions provided with the
power inlet box. Select a convenient knockout on one of the sides of
the transfer switch. Run building wire or Romex®, (purchased
separately) as approved by local electrical code, from the power inlet
box to the transfer switch. Use three of the yellow wire connectors to
connect the leads in the transfer switch to the wire from the power
inlet box. Connect the black wire from the transfer switch to the
black wire from the power inlet box; connect the white wire in the
transfer switch to the white wire from the power inlet box: connect
the green wire in the transfer switch to the green wire from the
power inlet box.
F.
Tilt front plate back into the cabinet and attach with the screws in
Step 1.
II. Connecting Models TF151 and TF201
These models should be connected by a licensed electrician or heating
contractor since they involve mounting on the furnace and making the
electrical connections on or in the furnace instead of the electrical panel.
Connect the wires from Easy/Tran to the furnace as follows:
A.
Black
wire to the wire or wires that power(s) the furnace.
B.
Red
wire to the wire coming from the branch circuit breaker.
C.
White wire to both the neutral wire to the furnace and the neutral
wire from the electrical panel.
D.
Green wire to the grounding point in the furnace.
III. Connecting Models TF151W and TF201W
A. Connecting the Flexible Conduit Whip to Your Load
Center
– Be careful not to bend the flexible conduit whip beyond
its structural capabilities.
1.
Set up battery-powered lighting to clearly illuminate your work area.
2.
Turn off the main utility breaker (Figure 3).
3.
Remove the cover of your load center. Keep in mind that the wires
on the utility side of the main breaker are still live and if contacted
could cause serious injury or death. If available, use a non-contact
voltage detector to insure that the power is off on the non-utility side
of the main breaker.
4.
Remove the appropriate knockout hole in the bottom of your load
center with a screwdriver and hammer. (See step I-B above.)
5.
Insert all four of the wires extending from the end of the flexible
conduit whip through the knockout hole. Fasten the conduit
connector attached to the whip into the knockout hole using the nut
provided.
Even with the main power switch turned
off, the wires on the utility side of the main
breaker are still live and contact with them
can cause serious injury or death.
