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 owners manual.

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

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
3
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
4
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.

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.
Mounting holes are provided in the enclosure subplate for mounting of
the transformer. The 120 Vac supply is fused at 5 amps and is factory
connected to OPCB terminals labeled "T1 and "Neutral".

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

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.
Operation
NOTE: Return handle to
storage position in enclosure
when finished with manual transfer.
Move handle
UP for the
NORMAL
(UTILITY)
position.
Move handle
DOWN for the
EMERGENCY
(STANDBY)
position.
Attach handle to actuating shaft.

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.
