3.2.2   CLOSE TO GENERATOR SOURCE SIDE

Before proceeding, verify the position of the switch by observ-

ing the position of the manual operation handle in Figure 3.1. If 

the handle is DOWN, the contacts are closed in the GENERATOR 

(STANDBY) position. No further action is required. If the handle is 

UP, proceed with Step 1.
Step 1:  With the handle inserted into the moveable contact carrier 

arm, move the handle DOWN. Be sure to hold on to the 

handle as it will move quickly after the center of travel.

Step 2:  Remove manual operating handle from moveable contact 

carrier arm. Return handle to storage bracket.

3.2.3   RETURN TO UTILITY SOURCE SIDE

Step 1:  Manually actuate switch to return manual operating handle 

to the UP position.

Step 2:  Remove manual operating handle from moveable contact 

carrier arm. Return handle to storage bracket.

3.3 VOLTAGE 

CHECKS

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 compat-

ible with transfer switch ratings, turn OFF the UTILITY supply to 

the transfer switch.

4.   On the generator panel, set the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to 

MANUAL position. 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 AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF position to shut 

down the generator.

NOTE:

Do NOT proceed until generator AC output voltage and fre-

quency are correct and within stated limits. If the no-load volt-

age 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.

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 position.

3.  Manually actuate the transfer switch main contacts to 

their GENERATOR (STANDBY) position. Refer to "Manual 

Operation".

4.  To start the generator, set the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to 

MANUAL. When engine starts, let it stabilize for a few min-

utes.

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/amper-

age 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.

  •   Let the generator run under rated load for at least 30 min-

utes. With unit running, listen for unusual noises, vibra-

tion, overheating, 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 setting the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its 

OFF position.

8.  Move the transfer switch's main contacts back to their UTIL-

ITY position. For example, LOAD connected to UTILITY power 

supply. Refer to "Manual Operation". Handle and operating 

lever of transfer switch should be in the UP position.

9.  Turn on the utility power supply to transfer switch, using the 

UTILITY SERVICE DISCONNECT circuit breaker. The utility 

power source now powers the loads.

10.  Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its AUTO 

position.
