Surge Guard Automatic Transfer Switch Remote LCD
Display Operation (Model: 40299)
This article provides basic operation instructions for a
Surge Guard Automatic Transfer Switch Remote LCD
Display (Model: 40299).
The optional Remote LCD Display is intended for use
with Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) unit 40350-RVC or
41390-RVC.
The Remote Power Control allows you to see detailed
information such as voltages for Line 1 and Line 2,
(typically 110-120VAC), current draws (0 to 50Amps),
and status and conditions of the ATS, including time
and date. Electrical faults, such as low voltage or an
open ground connection, that cause the ATS to shut o
ff
power are shown on the remote display, allowing you to
retrieve via the joystick a log of fault conditions kept by
the ATS of electrical power at your location.
This is a helpful diagnostic tool that allows you to
comprehend and correct problems with your RV’s power.
The display also features a right/left navigation lever
allowing navigation through the various screens.

Southwire 50 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch (Model:
40450RVC)
This article provides basic operation instructions for
a Southwire Surge Guard 50 Amp Automatic Transfer
Switch (Model: 40450RVC).
The 40450 series automatic transfer switch (ATS) has
many di
ff
erent protective features to protect your coach
from low quality power. Included in these are protection
against high voltage, low voltage, and an incorrectly
connected chassis ground. If one of these fault conditions
is encountered, the ATS will open both contactors in order
to protect the coach. Once the fault condition goes away,
the ATS will delay for approximately 2.5 minutes before
trying to close the appropriate contactor again.
Test Procedure
1. Plug RV’s shore power cord into utility power source.
2. Wait for the time delay, then observe remote display
of shore power status.***
3. Turn on RV’s generator (generator power source is
dominant over shore power). A 30 second delay will
occur.
4. Observe remote display for generator output status
(Volts/Amps).
5. Switch o
ff
generator, observe remote display of
transfer “Delay Active-Shore Power.”
6. Shore power activated, observe remote display
(Voltage/Amps). ***Acceptable shore and/or generator
power range is 100-135 Votls. Load (Amperes) 0-50
Amps.
Note: During generator (only) power-up, the monitor
display will be blank for approximately 30 seconds for
generator warm-up.
If there is no error message and the display instead reads
“Delay Active” this means that the fault condition has
cleared and that the switch is going through a 2.5 minute
delay before it will attempt to close the contactor again.
Wait until this delay is over to see if the ATS correctly
closes its contactor.
If no display is available, check the level of the input
voltage to ensure it is within the proper operating limits.
Also check that the ATS is correctly connected to chassis
ground and that the neutral conductor is correctly
connected to ground at the power pedestal. Wait 2.5
minutes to check if the fault condition was temporary and
has cleared. If so, the contactor will pull in at the end of
the 2.5 minute period.
A remote power monitor may be installed in select
coaches and allows for continuous visual indication of
source voltage and load current or diagnostics.
If the ATS fails to close the contactor or transfer when
expected, check the 40450 display to see if an error
message is displayed. The screen will flash an error
message for that failure such as “Loss of Ground”, “High
Volt”, or “Reverse Polarity”. The error condition must
be corrected in order for the transfer switch to function
correctly. Refer to the table on the following page for help
in troubleshooting these conditions.
