    Default change over switch

    G/day falla's, i have a couple of these automatic change over switches that i want to utilise for backup power to my house.
    The basic instructions make no mention about the input/outputs on the top of the change over switches and i have done goog searches with no success,
    it would be nice if i could know what functions that i could utilise with these.
    Has anyone had experience with these and maybe a ciruit diagram, or maybe even decode the terminal lable for me into info that i might be able to utilise.
    Cheers shed

    Look, I have no idea of your background or expertise but if this section in the manual I posted does not answer your question then respectfully you need to call an electrician as it has ALL the detail.

    droog i understand how to connect the power wires, that is not my problem, i am wanting info regarding the control inputs/outputs numbered 1 - 6 in the first picture in the first post. Maybe reread my first post, i thought it was understandable?

    Apologies, your request for a “circuit diagram” is what threw me off.

    So after a bit more Googling it appears that the connections on top are for status indicator lights only. The note " when the switch is level 3, please connect the zero line to the 3 and 6 connectors" falls inline with the 3 pole version where no neutral is present on the device.
    A quick check with a continuity tester should confirm it.

    I do not believe any control features are available via this connector.

    "A light bulb is shown as a circle with a cross inside it. It produces light when a current is passed through it."
