DANGER is used in this manual to warn of a
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
Rating Label
Each automatic transfer switch contains a rating label to
define the loads and fault circuit withstand / closing ratings.
Refer to the label on the transfer switch for specific values.

Functional Test
The Functional Test consists of three checks: manual
operation, voltage checks, and electrical operation.
NOTICE
Do these checks in the order presented to avoid
damaging the automatic transfer switch.
Read all instructions on the Wiring Diagram and labels
affixed to the automatic transfer switch. Note the
control features that are provided and review their
operation before proceeding.

Transfer To Emergency
The sequence for load transfer to
emergency source begins automatically when normal source voltage falls
below the preset dropout point or
when Transfer Test button is pressed.
An under voltage condition on any
phase of the normal source is detected by the sensor.
