RTSS Type Transfer Switch
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual has been prepared especially for the purpose of famil-
iarizing personnel with the design, application, installation, opera-
tion 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 carelessness, 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 at any time without prior notice.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The PowerManager™ LTS transfer switch will provide three major
functions.
The first function is to provide an automatic transfer switch.
The automatic transfer switch is used for transferring electrical
loads from a UTILITY (NORMAL) power source to a GENERATOR
(STANDBY) power source. Such a transfer of electrical loads
occurs automatically when (connected to a Generac engine gen-
erator) the UTILITY power source has failed or is at a substantially
reduced voltage 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 electrical system installations.
The second function is to provide a means to divide up the electri-
cal loads on the electrical system. The electrical loads are to be
divided into “critical loads” and non-essential loads. The “critical”
loads are connected to the internal 16 circuit panel board. The
non-essential electrical loads are to be powered from the load shed
switch (LSS).
The UTILITY source will supply all electrical loads at all times.
When the transfer signal is given by the engine generator controller,
all loads, both critical and non-essential loads, are connected to
the GENERATOR supply. If the generator is overloaded the LSS will
operate and disconnect the non-essential loads which results in a
reduction in the load on the generator.
The third function is a 16 circuit load center to connect the “criti-
cal loads” to. These loads will be normally powered by the UTILITY
source and will be backed up by the GENERATOR source. The
Siemens load center is provided with the following Siemens type
QP circuit breakers; 1-50A 2-pole, 1-40A 2-pole, 1-20A 2-pole,
5-20A single pole and 5-15A 2-pole circuit breakers.
The PowerManager LTS transfer switch is suitable for use as
SERVICE ENTRANCE EQUIPMENT – UTILITY (NORMAL) source
only. The PowerManager LTS is only SERVICE ENTRANCE rated for
the USA. The 200A 2-pole circuit breaker provided is the “service
disconnect” and is labeled as such. An additional disconnect must
be readily available for the alternate source, unless the alternate
source is an accessible generator and can be shutdown.
1.2.1 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.

1.2.3 LOAD SHED CONTROLLER
The primary function of the Load Shed Controller (LSC) is to deter-
mine when there is excess load on the generator and has the ability
to disconnect the non-essential loads connected to it. Excess load
is determined by monitoring the generator supply frequency, if the
frequency drops below 58 Hz for more than three (3) seconds,
or below 50 Hz for 1/2 second, and the generator is considered
to have excess load on it. When this happens, non-essential
customer loads are disconnected. The non-essential loads are
supplied via the load shed switch (LSS) and the LSS is actuated to
disconnect these loads.
The non-essential loads are reconnected in one of 3 ways; Utility
voltage is restored and ATS transfers all load back to the Utility
supply, manual operation of LOAD SHED RESET push-button on
the outside of the enclosure or, automatic operation setup on the
DIP switches on the LSC.
For manual operation, set DIP switch #6 to the ON position. If
the generator output is overloaded and the non-essential loads
are disconnected, press the LOAD SHED RESET push-button to
reconnect the non-essential loads to the generator. If the overload
condition still exists the LSC will turn the non-essential loads off.
For automatic operation, the number of attempts to reconnect the
non-essential loads can be selected. The 2 choices are one-shot
or repeated. The time interval before each attempt is set on DIP
switches 1-4. For “one-shot” operation mode set DIP switch #5 to
ON. Reconnection of the non-essential loads will occur one time,
after the time set on DIP switches 1-4. If DIP switch #5 is OFF,
the LSC will attempt to reconnect the non-essential loads after the
time interval set on DIP switches 1-4. If the overload still exists or
comes back, the LSC and LSS will disconnect non-essential loads
and the timer and the attempt to reconnect non-essential loads
will be repeated.

1.2.4 BATTERY CHARGER
The POWER MANAGER LTS transfer switch is provided with a bat-
tery charger (item #44 on Generac #0G8054 assembly drawing)
for charging of the engine generator 12 Vdc battery. The battery
charger is powered from the load side of the transfer switch (line
to neutral – 120V) and is protected by a 2A fuse on the LSC pcb.
The battery charger will charge the battery at all times.
1.3 TRANSFER SWITCH DATA

Section 2 — Installation
RTSS Type Transfer Switch
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 and load leads.•
Connecting non-essential loads.•
Connecting "Critical Load" branch circuits to the internal load •
center.
Connecting the utility sensing and transfer relay circuits to the •
generator control panel.
Connecting any auxiliary contact (if needed)•
Testing functions.•
2.2 UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the transfer switch. Inspect closely for any dam-
age 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.
2.3 MOUNTING
Mounting dimensions for the transfer switch enclosure are in this
manual. Enclosures are typically wall-mounted. See “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.
This transfer switch is mounted in a NEMA 3R aluminum enclo-
sure. It can be mounted outside or inside and should be based on
the layout of installation, 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.
2.4 CONNECTING POWER SOURCE
AND LOAD LINES
DANGER
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 dangerous. Contact with such high volt-
age power supply lines causes extremely haz-
ardous, possibly 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
installation that will pass the final electrical inspection.
Conductor sizes must be adequate to handle the maximum cur-
rent 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.
Before connecting wiring cables to terminals, remove any surface
oxides from the cable ends with a wire brush. All power cables
must enter the enclosure through the knockouts provided. This
is necessary to maintain the NEMA/UL type 3 rating. If mounted
indoors, conduits can enter the enclosure above the knockouts. If
not using the knockouts, entry must be at or below knockouts.
If ALUMINUM conductors are used, apply corrosion inhibitor to
conductors. Tighten terminal lugs to the torque values as noted on
the "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 conduc-
tors, being sure not to overtighten, or dam-
age to the insulating base could occur. If not
tightened enough, a loose connection would
result, causing excess heat which could dam-
age 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 the top
of the UTILITY SERVICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker.
2. Connect GENERATOR (STANDBY) source power cables to
ATS GENERATOR supply terminals, E1-E2.
3. Connect non-essential customer LOAD leads to LSS switch
terminals E1, E2.
4. Connect critical customer loads to the circuit breakers on the
load center provided.
5
Conductors must be properly supported, of approved insulative
qualities, 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.
2.5 NEUTRAL CONNECTIONS
The main neutral block is provided for the connection of the
neutral (ungrounded conductors) of the Utility, Generator and non-
essential load neutrals. Tighten all wires to the specified torque.
Torque values are given on the information decal located on the
inside cover.
The main neutral block is connected (bonded) to the enclosure
metal by a busbar. If bonding of the neutral is not necessary, the
jumper can be removed. When the jumper bar is removed the
control wires should be connected as follows:
#00 wire to the neutral block.•
GRD wire to the enclosure.•
The essential load neutrals are to be connected on the busbars
mounted on the load center, next to the branch circuit breakers.
2.6 CONNECTING CONTROL
WIRES
Control system interconnections consist of N1 and N2, and leads
0, 15B and 23. Control system interconnection leads can be run in
the same conduit as the AC power lead if the conduit length is less
than 35 feet, and ALL of the wiring is rated for 600V. If the conduit
length between the generator and PowerManager LTS is more than
35 feet, the control and power leads must be routed in separate
conduits. Recommended wire gauge sizes for this wiring depends
on the length of the wire, as recommended in the following chart:
MAXIMUM WIRE
RUN LENGTH
RECOMMENDED WIRE
SIZE
35 feet (10.67m) No. 16 AWG.
60 feet (18.29m) No. 14 AWG.
90 feet (27.43m) No. 12 AWG.
3.1 FUNCTIONAL TESTS AND
ADJUSTMENTS
Following transfer switch installation and interconnection,
inspect the entire installation carefully. A competent, qualified
electrician should inspect it. The installation should comply
strictly with all applicable codes, standards, and regulations.
When absolutely 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
understood. 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.

transfer switch should be in UP position.
10. Turn on the UTILITY power supply to transfer switch, using
the UTILITY SERVICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker. The utility
power source now powers the loads.
11. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its AUTO
position.
3.4.2 LOAD SHED FUNCTIONAL TEST
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 position.
3. Manually actuate the transfer switch main contacts to the
GENERATOR position. Refer to “Manual Operation” section of
this manual.
4. Manually actuate the LSS main contacts to the DOWN posi-
tion. Non-essential loads ON.
5. To start the generator, set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to
MANUAL. When engine starts, let it stabilize for a few min-
utes.
6. Turn the generator’s main circuit breaker its ON 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.
Increase the load to slightly overload the generator (load to •
draw frequency down 55-56 hz). This will require turning
loads on that are connected to the LSS. Do not severely
overload the generator.
The LSS should actuate after three (3) seconds to disconnect •
the non-essential loads. The door mounted LOAD SHED LED
should be ON.
Decrease the electrical load on the generator to allow the •
generator frequency to increase to 60 Hz.
7. The next step will depend on how the LSC is set up (see the
"Load Shed Controller" section). If set up for:
Manual Operation• — Press the door mounted LOAD SHED
RESET button. The LSS will reconnect non-essential loads.
Automatic Operation• — The LSS will reconnect non-essen-
tial loads after the delay time setup on the DIP switches of
the LSC.
8. Turn ON the UTILITY power supply to the transfer switch using
the UTILITY SERVICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker. After the
return to utility time delay, the utility power source will power
the loads.
9. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the AUTO
position.
