ATC-100 Contactor Based Transfer Switch

With the enclosed ATS equipment unpacked and ready for mount-

ing, proceed with the following steps.

Step 1:

The ATS enclosure door is hinge mounted with remov-

able hinge pins.  To simplify the mounting procedure and 

avoid damaging the door-mounted logic panel, it is 

strongly suggested that the door be carefully removed 

and put it in a safe place until mounting is complete.  To 

remove the door, open the door and disconnect the con-

nectors at the back of the ATC-100 logic panel.  Remove 

the wire ties securing the harness to the inside of the 

door.  Carefully remove the hinge pins then the door from 

the enclosure.

Step 2:

Install the required upper and lower mounting bolt 

anchors and the two upper mounting bolts in the mount-

ing surface.

Step 3:

Gently lift the enclosure and guide the teardrop holes in 

the upper mounting flange over the upper mounting 

bolts.  Do not completely tighten the bolts at this time.

Step 4:

While still supporting the enclosure, install the two lower 

mounting bolts in the lower mounting flange.  Again, do 

not completely tighten the bolts at this time.  Use shims, 

if required, to prevent deformation of the enclosure if the 

mounting surface is distorted.

Step 5:

Tighten all four mounting bolts after any required shim-

ming is completed.

Figure 8. Typical Mounting of the ATS to a Mounting Surface.
Step 6:

Double check to ensure that all packing and shipping 

materials have been removed.

4.4  Power Cable Connections

Test all power cables prior to connection to the unit to ensure that 

the conductors or cable insulation have not been damaged while 

being pulled into position.

CAUTION

EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PROTECT THE TRANSFER 

SWITCH FROM DRILL CHIPS, FILINGS, AND OTHER CONTAMI-

NANTS WHEN MAKING THE CABLE ENTRY HOLES.  EXTREME CARE 

SHOULD ALSO BE TAKEN WHEN MOUNTING THE ENCLOSURE TO 

PREVENT COMPONENT DAMAGE OR A FUTURE MALFUNCTION.

 

NOTICE

THE INSTALLATION MUST FULLY COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE 

CODES, STANDARDS, AND REGULATIONS.

 

WARNING

POWER CONDUCTORS MAY HAVE VOLTAGE PRESENT THAT CAN 

CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.  DE-ENERGIZE ALL 

POWER OR CONTROL CIRCUIT CONDUCTORS TO BE CONNECTED 

TO THE ATS EQUIPMENT BEFORE BEGINNING TO WORK WITH THE 

CONDUCTORS AND/OR TERMINATING THEM TO THE EQUIPMENT.

 

 

CAUTION

USE OF CABLE LUGS NOT DESIGNED FOR THE ATS MAY CAUSE 

HEATING PROBLEMS.

 

CAUTION

TO HELP PREVENT COMPONENT DAMAGE OR FUTURE MALFUNC-

TIONS, USE EXTREME CARE TO KEEP CONTAMINANTS OUT OF THE 

ATS EQUIPMENT WHEN MAKING POWER CABLE CONNECTIONS.

  

CAUTION

RUN THE POWER CABLE THROUGH THE GUTTER SPACE PROVIDED 

TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT OF POWER PANEL.
