Instructions for Installation, Operation and Maintenance of the 

Eaton ATC-600 Automatic Transfer Switch Controller

4.4.3 ATC Annunciator

The ATC Annunciator provides remote annunciation of an ATC-

600 which may be located up to 1000 feet away. The ATC 

Annunciator will communicate with the ATC-600 over the INCOM 

Subnetwork using a twisted shielded pair cable. Required power is 

either 120 VAC 50/60Hz or 24 VDC.
The ATC Annunciator displays the ATC-600 information through 

six LEDs as described below:

Source 1 Available

This white LED is lit if Source 1 meets the criteria for programmed 

Source 1 setpoints.

Source 1 Connected 

This green LED is lit when the Source 1 breaker is closed.

Source 2 Available

This amber LED is lit if Source 2 meets the criteria for pro-

grammed Source 2 setpoints.

Source 2 Connected

This red LED is lit when the Source 2 breaker is closed.

Comm OK

This green LED is lit when the ATC Annunciator is communicating 

properly with the ATC-600.

In Test

This red LED indicates that the ATC-600 is in Test mode.

4.5  Relay Outputs

As described in Section 2, the rear access area provides for 

access to all output connections. Refer to Figure 

3

 for a graphical 

representation and position of all output connections. The relay 

functions are divided into two categories:

Customer Connections

Transfer Operation Contacts

4.5.1  Customer Connections

S2 Generator

This latched coil relay provides a Form A contact on Pins 1 and 2 

of Connector J5. The relay is the generator start relay for system 

configurations employing a generator on the input source desig-

nated Source 2. The generator start relay contacts are rated for 

5A, 1/6 HP @ 250 VAC. The DC rating is 5A @ 30VDC with a 

150W maximum load.

S1 Generator

This latched coil relay provides a Form A contact on Pins 3 and 4 

of Connector J5. The relay is the generator start relay for system 

configurations employing a generator on the input source desig-

nated Source 1. The generator start relay contacts are rated for 

5A, 1/6 HP @ 250 VAC. The DC rating is 5A @ 30VDC with a 

150W maximum load.

Alarm

This Form C relay is used to indicate an alarm condition. The full 

Form C contact of this relay is implemented with Common Pin 8, 

Normally Closed Pin 7, and Normally Open Pin 6 of Connector J5. 

The relay is normally de-energized to indicate the absence of an 

alarm state. Energization of the relay indicates the presence of an 

alarm condition. Alarm conditions include improper circuit breaker 

operation, motor operator failure, and unsuccessful closed or in-

phase transition. An alarm may be reset by simultaneously press-

ing the Increase and Decrease Pushbuttons.  The relay contacts 

are rated for 10A, 1-3 HP @ 250 VAC. The DC rating is 10A 

@30VDC.

S2 Available

This Form C relay is used to indicate the availability of Source 2. 

The full Form C contact of this relay is implemented with Com-

mon Pin 11, Normally Closed Pin 10, and Normally Open Pin 9 of 

Connector J5. This relay essentially duplicates the Source 2 avail-

able status LED meaning that the setpoint criteria has been met. 

The relay contacts are rated for 10A, 1-3 HP @ 250 VAC. The 

DC rating is 10A @30VDC.

S1 Available

This Form C relay is used to indicate the availability of Source 1. 

The full Form C contact of this relay is implemented with Com-

mon Pin 14, Normally Closed Pin 13, and Normally Open Pin 12 of 

Connector J5. This relay essentially duplicates the Source 1 avail-

able status LED meaning that the setpoint criteria has been met. 

The relay contacts are rated for 10A, 1-3 HP @ 250 VAC. The 

DC rating is 10A @30VDC.

4.5.2 Transfer Operation Connections

K1, K2, K3, and K4 are factory wired to operate the transfer 

switch. The relay contacts for each are rated for 10A, 1/3 HP @ 

250 VAC. The DC rating is 10A @30VDC. K1– K4 are Form C 

relays but only the Form A contacts are used to operate the trans-

fer switch.

Note: 

The ATC-600 Controller MUST BE properly grounded at J-5, Pin 5 

for proper operation.

Output Relay K1

The K1 output is used for control of the transfer switch motor to 

close the Source 1 switching device (i.e. circuit breaker) for 

motor-operator transfer switches. The K1 relay momentarily ener-

gizes until the ATC-600 senses that the Source 1 switching 

device is closed, then K1 de-energizes. For transfer switches with 

power breakers, this relay opens the Source 2 breaker via its trip 

coil. The k1 output is found on pins 21 and 22 of Connector J5

Output Relay K2

The K2 output is used for control of the transfer switch motor to 

close the Source 2 switching device (i.e. circuit breaker) for 

motor-operator transfer switches. The K2 relay momentarily ener-

gizes until the ATC-600 senses that the Source 2 switching 

device is closed, then K2 de-energizes. For transfer switches with 

power breakers, this relay opens the Source 1 breaker via its trip 

coil. The K2 output is found on pins 19 and 20 of Connector J5.

Output Relay K3

The K3 output is used for control of the close coil of the Source 1 

breaker in transfer switches with power breakers. The K3 relay 

momentarily energizes until the ATC-600 senses that the Source 

1 breaker is closed, then K3 de-energizes. The K3 output is found 

on pins 17 and 18 of Connector J5.
