There is no such thing as an emergency manual transfer switch.

If it is an emergency system it has to be an automatic transfer switch and if it is a manual switch it would have to be an 'optional standby system'

If it's an automatic switch, you'll need a load calc. and the Genset must be able to carry the full load. If manual, you can use a smaller genset so the owner can select the load and overload the system himself.

EMERGEN is a brand of pre-wire manual transfer switch

I would think that
technically' a permit should be pulled and/or an electrical inspection be done on the install.
That said, there is nothing to installing the unit, but you better make sure that you know which wires to hook the red and the black leads to (read the manual).
