1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of the MUSM JTQ2-63 Automatic Transfer Switch. The JTQ2-63 is designed to automatically switch between two power sources, ensuring continuous power supply to critical loads. It supports both manual and automatic operation modes.
2. Safety Information
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Installation and maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel. Always disconnect power before working on the switch.
- Ensure all local and national electrical codes are followed during installation.
- Verify the voltage and current ratings of the switch match your application requirements.
- Do not operate the switch with wet hands or in damp conditions.
- Proper grounding is essential for safe operation.
3. Product Overview
The MUSM JTQ2-63 is a compact automatic transfer switch designed for reliability and ease of use. It features a robust construction with minimal wearing parts.
Key Features:
- Dual Operation Modes: Supports both manual (handle/rocker) and electric (motor-driven) operation. Manual mode is suitable for low voltage and small current applications, while electric mode is for high voltage, high current, or remote control.
- Simple Structure: Designed for durability with few wearing parts, simplifying maintenance.
- Optimized Contact Material: Arcing is managed by increased contact spacing and the use of copper alloy silver plating for contacts. Note that no-load operation is limited due to the absence of a special arc extinguishing chamber.
- Flexible Wiring Options: Supports upper entry/lower exit, left entry/right exit, and side wiring. Low-voltage models typically use screw crimp terminals, while high-voltage models use copper bar bolts.
- Integrated Fuse Option: Knife fuse isolation switches are a special type that combine isolation and overcurrent protection, suitable for small distribution circuits.

4.2 Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram below for proper connection of normal power, reserve power, and load. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Normal Power Input: Connect your primary power source to the "Normal Power" terminals (L IN, N IN).
- Reserve Power Input: Connect your secondary/backup power source to the "Reserve Power" terminals (L IN, N IN).
- Load Output: Connect your electrical load to the "Load side" terminals (L, N).
- The switch supports various wiring configurations including upper entry/lower exit, left entry/right exit, and side wiring.

5. Operating Instructions
The JTQ2-63 transfer switch offers both automatic and manual operation modes.
5.1 Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, the switch will detect the presence of normal power. If normal power fails, it will automatically switch to the reserve power source. When normal power is restored, it will switch back to normal power.
- Set the selector switch on the front panel to "Automatic".
- The indicator lights will show which power source is currently active (Normal Power or Reserve Power).
5.2 Manual Mode
Manual mode allows you to manually select the power source. This is typically done using the handle or rocker on the device.
- Set the selector switch on the front panel to "Manual".
- Use the central handle to physically switch between "Normal Power" (N) and "Reserve Power" (R) or "OFF" (O).
- Ensure the handle is fully engaged in the desired position.
