Table 6. Utility - Generator Transfer Switch. Adjustable Features and Setpoints
See tables in the appendix for Voltage and Frequency Pickup and
Dropout settings.
Step 6:
To change a setpoint (adjustable features), access the
rear of the controller and move the yellow jumpers to the
desired location.
Figure 21. ATC-100.
Step 7:
Manually start the engine generator at the generator con-
troller. Check that the generator is running and the
Gener-
ator Available
amber LED is lit. If the LED is lit, shut down
the generator and place the Genset controller in the Auto-
operating position. If the LED is not lit, the setpoints
should be reviewed and the generator checked for proper
voltage and frequency output.
Step 8:
Initiate a System Test from the front panel of the ATC-
100 (Figure 20). This may be done by pressing and hold-
ing the “Engine Start” and “Set Generator Test” buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds.
The generator should start, the ATS should transfer and
run on the generator for the set test interval, then proceed
to a TDEN countdown and return to the utility. While the
ATS is connected to the Generator, use a voltmeter to
check for correct system voltage on the load terminals of
the ATS. Voltage measurements should be taken phase to
phase and phase to neutral. A load test will cause a
momentary power outage during transfer.

WARNING
THE GENERATOR SHOULD BE MANUALLY STARTED AND THE OUT-
