I talked with Robin and he has redesigned the 100 amp bypass assembly to 
allow the use of the screw down mounting clips along with the DIN rail 
mounting.  The openings in the sliding plate have also been modified to 
improve the operation - the existing one was really designed for the 60 
amp version - which is similar but not identical. The new parts have 
been ordered and will be available upon request at no charge for anyone 
who wishes to upgrade any existing PSAC-100Q systems. Contact Robin 
directly here at OutBack... 

The purpose of the breaker interlock is really to prevent both of the 
breakers from being turned on at the same - not to operate as a true 
"fast transfer switch". Switching it with the generator off is a good 
idea - but I am not sure why the customer needs to be switching it at 
all - its really for a servicing/failure bypass situation and not normal 
daily operation???    

Even if you somehow did manage to turn them both on the results are not 
catostrophic... typically you will just get a backfeed error (unless you 
are Matthew Tritt...).

Thanks - once again - the feedback we get makes the products better.
