may result in injury or death to utility workers

due to backfeed of electrical energy.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that

might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on tags

and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If using

a procedure, work method or operating technique the manufacturer

does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others.

Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique

chosen does not render the transfer switch unsafe.

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the

generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are

used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular oper-

ation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly.

Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:

GENERAL HAZARDS

• Any AC generator that is used for backup power if a NORMAL

(UTILITY) power source failure occurs, must be isolated from

the NORMAL (UTILITY) power source by means of an approved

transfer switch. Failure to properly isolate the NORMAL and

STANDBY power sources from each other may result in injury

or death to electric utility workers, due to backfeed of electrical

energy.

• Improper or unauthorized installation, operation, service or repair

of the equipment is extremely dangerous and may result in death,

serious personal injury, or damage to equipment and/or personal

property.

• Extremely high and dangerous power voltages are present

inside an installed transfer switch. Any contact with high voltage

terminals, contacts or wires will result in extremely hazardous,

and possibly LETHAL, electric shock. DO NOT WORK ON THE

TRANSFER SWITCH UNTIL ALL POWER VOLTAGE SUPPLIES

TO THE SWITCH HAVE BEEN POSITIVELY TURNED OFF.

• Competent, qualified personnel should install, operate and service

this equipment. Adhere strictly to local, state and national electri-

cal and building codes. When using this equipment, comply with

regulations the National Electrical Code (NEC), CSA Standard;

C22.1 Canadian Electric Code and Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) have established.

• Never handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water,

while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS

ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

• Remove all jewelry (such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc.) before

working on this equipment.

• If work must be done on this equipment while standing on metal

or concrete, place insulative mats over a dry wood platform. Work

on this equipment only while standing on such insulative mats.

• Never work on this equipment while physically or mentally fatigued.

• Keep the transfer switch enclosure door closed and bolted at all

times. Only qualified personnel should be permitted access to the

switch interior.

• In case of an accident caused by electric shock, immediately

shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,

attempt to free the victim from the live conductor but AVOID

DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting

implement, such as a dry rope or board, to free the victim from the

live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get

immediate medical help.

• When an automatic transfer switch is installed for a standby gen-

erator set, the generator engine may crank and start at any time

without warning. To avoid possible injury that might be caused by

such sudden start-ups, the system’s automatic start circuit must

be disabled before working on or around the generator or transfer

switch. Then place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on the transfer

switch and on the generator. Remove the Negative (Neg) or (–)

battery cable.

For authorized service,

reference the dealer locator

number found inside the

generator owner’s manual.

Safety Rules

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual has been prepared especially for the purpose of familiar-

izing personnel with the design, application, installation, operation

and servicing of the applicable equipment. Read the manual carefully

and comply with all instructions. This will help to prevent accidents or

damage to equipment that might otherwise be caused by careless-

ness, incorrect application, or improper procedures.

Every effort has been expended to make sure that the contents of this

manual are both accurate and current. The manufacturer, however,

reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the product

or manual at any time without prior notice.

1.2 UNPACKING

Carefully unpack the transfer switch. Inspect closely for any damage

that might have occurred during shipment. The purchaser must file with

the carrier any claims for loss or damage incurred while in transit.

Check that all packing material is completely removed from the switch

prior to installation.

1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The automatic transfer switch is used for transferring electrical

load from a UTILITY (NORMAL) power source to an GENERATOR

(STANDBY) power source. Such a transfer of electrical loads occurs

automatically when the UTILITY power source has failed or is sub-

stantially reduced and the GENERATOR source voltage and frequen-

cy have reached an acceptable level. The transfer switch prevents

electrical feedback between two different power sources (such as

the UTILITY and GENERATOR sources) and, for that reason, codes

require it in all standby electric system installations.

The transfer switch consists of a transfer mechanism, UTILITY SER-

VICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker, a control relay, fuses, terminal

strip, and fuse holder for connection of sensing wires.

This transfer switch is suitable for use as service equipment.

1.3.1 TRANSFER SWITCH MECHANISM

These switches (Figure 1.1) are used with a single-phase system,

when the single-phase NEUTRAL line is to be connected to a Neutral

Lug and is not to be switched.

Solderless, screw-type terminal lugs are standard.

Switch Wire Conductor Tightening

Rating Range Torque

100A #14-1/0 AWG 50 in-lbs.

200A #6-250 MCM 275 in-lbs.

This transfer switch is suitable for control of motors, electric discharge

lamps, tungsten filament and electric heating equipment where the

sum of motor full load ampere ratings and the ampere ratings of other

loads do not exceed the ampere rating of the switch and the tungsten

load does not exceed 30 percent of the switch rating.

This UL listed transfer switch is for use in optional standby systems

only (NEC article 702).

This transfer switch is suitable for use on a circuit capable of 22,000

rms (200A) and 10,000 (100A) symmetrical amperes, 240 VAC

(Load - ATS)

1.3.3 OVERLOAD PREVENTION CONTROL BOARD

(OPCB)

The Overload Prevention Control Board is designed to prevent an

overload on the generator when it is supplying the customer loads

(see Figure 1.2). Up to six loads can be managed by the OPCB; 2 air

conditioner loads and 4 other loads. The OPCB manages the loads

by “shedding” the connected loads in the event of a drop in generator

frequency (overload). Loads to be “shed” are grouped in 4 priority

levels on the OPCB.

• Priority 1 and 2 has connections for both one air conditioner and

one contactor. Both an air conditioner and a contactor can be

used at the same time if desired. To control an air conditioner,

no additional equipment is required. Internal relays interrupt the

thermostat 24VAC control signal to disable the air conditioner load.

General Information

• Priority 3 and 4 have connections for one contactor only.

• Four LEDs, located on the Overload Prevention Control Board,

will indicate when a load priority level is enabled. When loads are

connected, the LEDs will be illuminated.

• Any loads, including central air conditioners, can be controlled via

a contactor that must be purchased separately. Up to four contac-

tors can be controlled by the Overload Prevention Control Board

(24 Vac or 120 Vac is supplied through the OPCB to energize each

contactor coil).

• Generator overload condition is determined by generator frequen-

cy. Loads are shed when the frequency is <58Hz for 3 seconds or

<50Hz for ½ Second (For 60Hz).

The OPCB has a Test button which forces the unit to act as if an

overload has occurred. This button operates even when the transfer

signal is inactive.

1.5 TRANSFER SWITCH

ENCLOSURE

The standard switch enclosure is a National Electrical Manufacturer’s

Association (NEMA) and UL 3R type. UL and NEMA 3R (indoor/out-

door rated) type enclosures primarily provide a degree of protection

against falling rain and sleet; undamaged by the formation of ice on

the enclosure.

1.6 SAFE USE OF TRANSFER

SWITCH

Before installing, operating or servicing this equipment, read the

SAFETY RULES (inside front cover) carefully. Comply strictly with all

SAFETY RULES to prevent accidents and/or damage to the equip-

ment. The manufacturer recommends that a copy of the SAFETY

RULES are posted near the transfer switch. Also, be sure to read all

instructions and information found on tags, labels and decals affixed

to the equipment.

Three publications that outline the safe use of transfer switches are

the following:

• NFPA 70; National Electrical Code

• NFPA 70E; Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace

• UL 1008, STANDARD FOR SAFETY-AUTOMATIC TRANSFER

SWITCHES

NOTE:

It is essential to use the latest version of any standard to ensure

correct and current information.

2.1 INTRODUCTION TO

INSTALLATION

This equipment has been wired and tested at the factory. Installing the

switch includes the following procedures:

• Mounting the enclosure.

• Connecting power source leads and load leads.

• Connecting the generator sensing and transfer relay circuits.

• Connecting any auxiliary contact (if needed)

• Connect Overload Prevention Control Board loads (as required)

• Testing functions.

2.2 MOUNTING

Mounting dimensions for the transfer switch enclosure are in this

manual. Enclosures are typically wall-mounted. See the “Installation

Diagram”.



Handle transfer switches carefully when

installing. Do not drop the switch. Protect the

switch against impact at all times, and against

construction grit and metal chips. Never install

a transfer switch that has been damaged.

Installation

This transfer switch is mounted in a UL type 3R enclosure. It can be

mounted outside or inside and should be based on the layout of instal-

lation, convenience and proximity to the utility supply and load center.

Install the transfer switch as close as possible to the electrical loads

that are to be connected to it. Mount the switch vertically to a rigid

supporting structure. To prevent switch distortion, level all mounting

points. If necessary, use washers behind mounting holes to level the

unit.

2.3 CONNECTING POWER SOURCE

AND LOAD LINES



Make sure to turn OFF both the UTILITY

(NORMAL) and GENERATOR (STANDBY)

power supplies before trying to connect power

source and load lines to the transfer switch.

Supply voltages are extremely high and dan-

gerous. Contact with such high voltage power

supply lines causes extremely hazardous, pos-

sibly lethal, electrical shock.

Wiring diagrams and electrical schematics are provided in this

manual.

NOTE:

All installations must comply with national, state and local

codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to perform an instal-

lation that will pass the final electrical inspection.

The utility supply connection is made at the UTILITY SERVICE DIS-

CONNECT circuit breaker terminals. The generator and customer

load connections are made at the transfer switch mechanism, inside

the switch enclosure.

Conductor sizes must be adequate to handle the maximum current

to which they will be subjected, based on the 75°C column of tables,

charts, etc. used to size conductors. The installation must comply fully

with all applicable codes, standards and regulations.

All power cables must enter the enclosure through the knockouts

provided. If not using the knockouts, conduit entry into the enclo-

sure must be at or below knockouts to maintain the Type 3R rating.

Conduits should be arranged to provide separation between the Utility

and Generator supply conductors inside the enclosure.

Before connecting wiring cables to terminals, remove any surface

oxides from the cable ends with a wire brush. If ALUMINUM conduc-

tors are used, apply corrosion inhibitor to conductors. Tighten termi-

nal lugs to the torque values on "Utility Service Disconnect Circuit

Breaker", and on the decal located on the inside of the door. After

tightening terminal lugs, carefully wipe away any excess corrosion

inhibitor.



Use a torque wrench to tighten the conductors,

being sure not to overtighten, or damage to

the switch base could occur. If not tightened

enough, a loose connection would result,

causing excess heat which could damage the

switch base.

Connect power source load conductors to clearly marked transfer

mechanism terminal lugs as follows

1. Connect UTILITY (NORMAL) power source cables to UTILITY

SERVICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker.

2. Connect the GENERATOR (STANDBY) source power cables to

switch terminals E1, E2.

3. Connect customer LOAD leads to switch terminals T1, T2.

Conductors must be properly supported, of approved insulative quali-

ties, protected by approved conduit, and of the correct wire gauge

size in accordance with applicable codes.

Be sure to maintain proper electrical clearance between live metal

parts and grounded metal. Allow at least 1/2 inch for 100-400 amp

circuits.

2.4 CONNECTING START CIRCUIT

WIRES

Control system interconnections (Electrical Data section) consist of

UTILITY 1 (N1), UTILITY 2 (N2) and LOAD (T1), and leads 23, 0 and

194. Recommended wire gauge sizes for this wiring depends on the

length of the wire, as recommended in the following chart:

MAXIMUM WIRE LENGTH RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE

1-115 ft (1-35m) No. 18 AWG.

116-185 ft (36-56m) No. 16 AWG.

186-295 ft (57-89m) No. 14 AWG.

296-460 ft (90-140m) No. 12 AWG.

2.5 OVERLOAD PREVENTION

CONTROL BOARD (OPCB)

The OPCB can control an air conditioner (24 Vac) directly or a sepa-

rate contactor (24 Vac or 120 Vac operating coil) which can control

any load connected to it. See Figure 2.1.

The Power Management Module (PMM) is not supplied with the trans-

fer switch. It can be purchased separately from the manufacturer. The

PMM is for use with the Overload Prevention Control Board (OPCB)

mounted in the transfer switch. The OPCB is designed and connected

to power the PMM contactor operating coil. The OPCB is supplied by

a 24 Vac supply, class 2 power supply transformer, connected to the

LOAD supply in the RTS. (Each output is limited to 1 amp) The PMM

contactor coil connections are made at the OPCB terminal strip.

Connect the PMM contactor coil to OPCB contactor terminals (1, 2,

3 or 4). The selection of contactor terminal used will depend on the

priority of the load being controlled. This is a 24 Vac circuit and wiring

methods for class 2 should be used. Use ¼” quick connect terminals

to make the contactor coil connections on the PMM. See Figure 2.1.

A grommet is provided to route Class 2 wiring through. The grommet

can be used in any knockout for NEMA 1 installations. The grommet

can only be used in the bottom knockouts for NEMA 3R installations.

Installation

Control of Air Conditioner Load

1. Route the thermostat cable (from the furnace to the outdoor air

conditioner unit) to the transfer switch.

2. Connect the wire to the terminal strip terminals (Air 1) on the

OPCB as shown in Figure 2.1. These are normally closed con-

tacts which open upon load shed conditions. Route thermostat

wire away from High voltage wires.

3. If required, connect the second air conditioner to the terminal

strip terminals (Air 2).

Contact Ratings

Air 1 & 2 24 VAC, 5.0 Amps Max

NOTE:

These instructions are for a typical air conditioner installation.

Control of heat pump and 2-stage air conditioners will require

special connections or the use of Power Management Modules

to control the loads.

Control of a Separate Contactor

A separate contactor relay module can be purchased from the manu-

facturer. This model is supplied in a 24 Vac or 120 Vac coil version.

1. Mount the contactor module and connect the load to the main

contacts.

2. Connect the contactor coil to the desired OPCB L1-L4 terminals

on the terminal strip.

3. Connect additional Power Management Module contactors in a

similar fashion.

NOTE:

It will be necessary to determine the order of “shedding” the

connected loads and connect the loads to the OPCB in that

order. One is the highest priority and four is the lowest priority.

2.5.1 LOAD SHED SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

When configured for full functionality, six loads are organized into

four priority groups. Priority 1 (A/C 1) and the associated general use

contactor (Load 1) is the highest priority and is usually the first load(s)

reconnected (except in fast load shed mode). Priority 4 (Load 4) is the

lowest priority and is usually the last load reconnected (except in fast

load shed mode). The priority groups are as follows:

Priority Group 1

• A/C 1 and Load 1

Priority Group 2

• A/C 2 and Load 2

Priority Group 3

• Load 3

Priority Group 4

• Load 4

Since A/C is typically considered the most important, it is hardwired as

the two highest priority levels (A/C 1, A/C 2). Two other loads that may

be considered of equivalent importance are wired to the associated

general use contactors (Load 1, Load 2). Loads of lesser importance

are wired to the remaining contactors (Load 3, Load 4).

If the OPCB is fully functional and managing six connected loads,

and an event occurs which causes a load to increase beyond the

capacity of the generator, the OPCB identifies an overload condition

and instantly sheds all loads. After five minutes elapses, the OPCB

reconnects the loads associated with Priority Group 1 (A/C 1, Load 1),

and then reconnects the remaining loads at fifteen second intervals.

If the OPCB sees another overload while it is reconnecting loads, the

offending load is shed and locked out for 30 minutes. The next load

in the sequence is then reconnected. This process continues until all

loads have tried to reconnect (Figure 2.2).

2.6 CONNECTION OF POWER

SUPPLY FOR CONTACTORS

The Overload Prevention Control Board (OPCB) can be powered from

either a 24 Vac or 120 Vac power supply. The 24 Vac supply is from

a class 2 transformer that can be purchased from the manufacturer.

3.1 FUNCTIONAL TESTS AND

ADJUSTMENTS

Following transfer switch installation and intercon-

nection, inspect the entire installation carefully. A

competent, qualified electrician should inspect it.

The installation should comply strictly with all appli-

cable codes, standards, and regulations. When abso-

lutely certain the installation is proper and correct,

complete a functional test of the system.



Perform functional tests in the exact order

presented in this manual, or damage could be

done to the switch.

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with functional tests, read and

make sure all instructions and information in this section are under-

stood. Also read the information and instructions of labels and decals

affixed to the switch. Note any options or accessories that might be

installed and review their operation.

3.2 MANUAL OPERATION



Do NOT manually transfer under load.

Disconnect transfer switch from all power

sources by approved means, such as the main

circuit breaker(s).

A manual HANDLE is shipped with the transfer switch. Manual opera-

tion must be checked BEFORE the transfer switch is operated electri-

cally. To check manual operation, proceed as follows:

1. Put the generator into the OFF mode.

2. Turn OFF both UTILITY (service disconnect circuit breaker) and

GENERATOR (generator main line circuit breaker) power sup-

plies to the transfer switch.

3. Note position of transfer mechanism main contacts by observing

the moveable contact carrier arm. This can be viewed through

the long narrow slot in the inside cover of the ATS. The top of the

moveable contact carrier arm is yellow to be easily identified.

• Manual operation handle in the UP position - LOAD terminals

(T1, T2) are connected to UTILITY terminals (N1, N2).

• Manual operation handle in the DOWN position - LOAD termi-

nals (T1, T2) are connected to EMERGENCY terminals (E1, E2).



Do not use excessive force when operating the

transfer switch manually or damage could be

done to the manual handle.

3.2.1 CLOSE TO UTILITY SOURCE SIDE

Before proceeding, verify the position of the switch by observing the

position of manual operation handle in Figure 3.1. If the handle is UP,

the contacts are closed in the NORMAL (UTILITY) position, no further

action is required. If the handle is DOWN, proceed with Step 1.

Step 1: With the handle inserted into the moveable contact carrier

arm, move handle UP. Be sure to hold on to the handle as it

will move quickly after the center of travel.

Step 2: Remove manual operating handle from moveable contact

carrier arm. Return handle to storage bracket.

3.2.2 CLOSE TO GENERATOR SOURCE SIDE

Before proceeding, verify the position of the switch by observing the

position of the manual operation handle in Figure 3.1. If the handle

is DOWN, the contacts are closed in the GENERATOR (STANDBY)

position. No further action is required. If the handle is UP, proceed

with Step 1.

Step 1: With the handle inserted into the moveable contact carrier

arm, move the handle DOWN. Be sure to hold on to the

handle as it will move quickly after the center of travel.

Step 2: Remove manual operating handle from moveable contact

carrier arm. Return handle to storage bracket.

the UP position.

Step 2: Remove manual operating handle from moveable contact

carrier arm. Return handle to storage bracket.

3.3 VOLTAGE CHECKS

1. Turn ON the UTILITY power supply to the transfer switch using

the UTILITY SERVICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker.



PROCEED WITH CAUTION. THE TRANSFER

SWITCH IS NOW ELECTRICALLY HOT.

CONTACT WITH LIVE TERMINALS RESULTS

IN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND POSSIBLY

FATAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

2. With an accurate AC voltmeter, check for correct voltage.

Measure across ATS terminal lugs N1 and N2. Also check N1 to

NEUTRAL and N2 to NEUTRAL.

3. When certain that UTILITY supply voltage is correct and compatible

with transfer switch ratings, turn OFF the UTILITY supply to the

transfer switch.

4. Set the generator to the MANUAL mode. The generator should

crank and start.

5. Let the generator stabilize and warm up at no-load for at least

five minutes.

6. Set the generator's main circuit breaker (CB1) to its ON or

CLOSED position.



PROCEED WITH CAUTION. GENERATOR

OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS NOW BEING DELIVERED

TO TRANSFER SWITCH TERMINALS.

CONTACT WITH LIVE TERMINALS RESULTS

IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY

FATAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

7. With an accurate AC voltmeter and frequency meter, check the

no-load, voltage and frequency.

Measure across ATS terminal lugs E1 to E2. Also check E1 to

NEUTRAL and E2 to NEUTRAL.

a. Frequency ..............................................60-62 Hertz

b. Terminals E1 to E2 ................................240-246 VAC

c. Terminals E1 to NEUTRAL ....................120-123 VAC

d. Terminals E2 to NEUTRAL ....................120-123 VAC

8. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker (CB1) to its OFF or

OPEN position.

9. Set the generator to the OFF mode to shut down the generator.

NOTE:

Do NOT proceed until generator AC output voltage and frequen-

cy are correct and within stated limits. If the no-load voltage is

correct but no-load frequency is incorrect, the engine governed

speed may require adjustment. If no-load frequency is correct

but voltage is not, the voltage regulator may require adjustment.

Figure 3.1 — Actuating Transfer Switch

3.4 GENERATOR TESTS UNDER

LOAD

1. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to its OFF or OPEN

position.

2. Set the UTILITY SERVICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker to the

OFF or OPEN position.

3. Manually actuate the transfer switch main contacts to their

GENERATOR (STANDBY) position. Refer to "Manual Operation".

4. To start the generator, put it into the MANUAL mode. When

engine starts, let it stabilize for a few minutes.

5. Turn the generator's main circuit breaker to its ON or CLOSED

position. The generator now powers all LOAD circuits. Check

generator operation under load as follows:

• Turn ON electrical loads to the full rated wattage/amperage

capacity of the generator. DO NOT OVERLOAD.

• With maximum rated load applied, check voltage and frequency

across transfer switch terminals E1 and E2. Voltage should be

greater than 230VAC and frequency should be greater than 59

Hertz. Also, verify that the gas pressure remains within accept-

able parameters (see the generator Installation Guidelines

manual).

• Let the generator run under rated load for at least 30 minutes.

With unit running, listen for unusual noises, vibration, overheat-

ing, etc., that might indicate a problem.

6. When checkout under load is complete, turn the generator's

main circuit breaker to its OFF or OPEN position.

7. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes. Then, shut

down by putting it into the OFF mode.

3.5 CHECKING AUTOMATIC

OPERATION

To check the system for proper automatic operation, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Ensure that the generator is in it’s OFF mode.

2. Install front cover of the transfer switch.

3. Turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer switch, using the

means provided (such as a utility main line circuit breaker).

NOTE:

Transfer Switch will transfer back to utility position.

4. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON (or CLOSED)

position.

5. Push the generator’s AUTO mode button. The system is now

ready for automatic operation.

6. Turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer switch.

With the generator ready for automatic operation, the engine should

crank and start when the utility source power is turned OFF after a

10 second delay (factory default setting). After starting, the transfer

switch should connect load circuits to the standby side after a five

(5) second delay. Let the system operate through its entire automatic

sequence of operation.

With the generator running and loads powered by generator AC

output, turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer switch. The

following should occur:

• After approximately 15 seconds, the switch should transfer loads

back to the utility power source.

• Approximately one minute after re-transfer, the engine should shut

down.

With the generator in the AUTOMATIC mode, the system is now set

for fully automatic operation.

3.6 TESTING OVERLOAD

PREVENTION CONTROL BOARD

(OPCB)

A Test pushbutton is provided on the bottom of the OPCB to test the

operation of the tested functions. The Test button will work when the

ATS is in the Utility or the Generator position.

1. Turn the Utility supply on to the ATS.

2. Press the TEST pushbutton on the OPCB.

3. Verify that all of the connected loads to be “shed” become dis-

abled. The method of verification will depend on the type of load.

4. After five (5) minutes verify AC 1 and Load 1 are energized

Status LED AC 1 and Load 1 is ON.

5. After another 15 seconds, verify AC 2 and Load 2 are energized

Status LED AC 2 and Load 2 are ON.

6. After another 15 seconds, verify Load 3 is energized Status Load

3 is ON.

7. After another 15 seconds, verify Load 4 is energized Status Load

4 is ON.

3.7 INSTALLATION SUMMARY

1. Ensure that the installation has been properly performed as

outlined by the manufacturer and that it meets all applicable laws

and codes.

2. Test and confirm proper operation of the system as outlined in

the appropriate installation and owner’s manuals.

3. Educate the end-user on the proper operation, maintenance and

service call procedures.

Important! If the end user ever finds it necessary to turn the gen-

erator off during prolonged utility outages to conserve on fuel,

educate them on these simple, but important steps:

To turn the generator OFF (while running in AUTO and online):

1. Turn OFF (or OPEN) the main Utility disconnect.

2. Turn OFF (or OPEN) the Main Line Circuit Breaker (MLCB) on

the generator.

3. Turn the generator OFF.

To turn the generator back ON:

1. Put the generator back into AUTO and allow to start and warm-

up for a few minutes.

2. Turn ON (or CLOSE) the MLCB on the generator.

The system will now be operating in its automatic mode. The main

utility disconnect can be turned ON (or CLOSED), but to shut the unit

off, this complete process must be repeated.
