3. OPERATIONAL TESTING
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug in the powercord. If the main panel circuit breakers are switched on, RV
load should operate normally. Unplug the powercord.
2. Start the generator. There is a pre-programmed 20-30 second delay in the
transfer switch. The delay is designed to allow the generator a brief warm-up
period. When the delay completes its cycle the switch should engage and the
RV load should operate normally. An audible click should sound as the switch
engages.
3. Shut down the generator. As the generator winds down the switch should
disengage without chatter or cycling. An audible click should sound as the
switch disengages.
4. Plug in the powercord. Start the generator. After the preprogrammed delay, the
switch should transfer power automatically from the powercord to the generator.
Listen for the audible click as the switch transfers, as there will likely be no other
indication that the switch has engaged. Shut down the generator and unplug the
powercord.
5. On transfer switch arrangements with three power supplies, plug in the
powercord, start the generator, and turn on the inverter. With all three supplies
energized at the same time, the switch will select the generator for the primary
supply choice. Shut down the generator. The switch will transfer to the
powercord. Unplug the powercord. The switch will transfer to the inverter. The
inverter should always be connected so that it is only selected in the absence of
both the other supplies.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1 LOW VOLTAGE
Low voltage is harmful to most appliances. Contactor-based transfer switches are
also affected by low voltage; if the voltage level drops far enough the contactor
points will “chatter”. Sustained contact chattering can cause transfer switch damage.
Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to the factory
for replacement.
4.2 GENERAL LOW VOLTAGE
Low voltage can be caused by low voltage conditions such as an RV park with
inadequate wiring for crowded camper conditions where everyone’s electricity
suffers (brownout). In this case a voltmeter will be helpful and will show a low
voltage reading from the park receptacle, even before the RV is plugged in. When
you experience general low voltage conditions, remember, that brownouts can be
harmful to most appliances. A better alternative might be to utilize the generator until
park voltage conditions improve.
4.3 LOCALIZED LOW VOLTAGE
Low voltage conditions can be caused by specific situations such as an additional
cord that is too long and too small for the load. Do not attempt to extend the RV
powercord by using a 16-gauge 100-foot extension cord, or any cord not rated for
an RV-size load. A localized low voltage condition will result when a load is turned
on that is larger for what which the cord is designed. As soon as the RV tries to
draw more current than the amount for which the cord is rated, the voltage will fall
within the length of the cord, and the RV will experience low voltage. This is
especially noticeable during in rush current situations such as an air conditioner
