Section 4: Operation

Functional Tests and Adjustments

Following transfer switch installation and interconnection,
inspect the entire installation carefully. A competent,
qualified electrician should inspect it. The installation
should comply strictly with all applicable codes,
standards, and regulations. When absolutely certain the
installation is proper and correct, complete a functional
test of the system.
CAUTION
Equipment damage. Perform functional tests in the
exact order they are presented in the manual.
Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with functional tests,
read and make sure all instructions and information in
this section is understood. Also read the information and
instructions of labels and decals affixed to the switch.
Note any options or accessories that might be installed
and review their operation.

Manual Operation

DANGER
Electrocution. Do not manually transfer under load.
Disconnect transfer switch from all power sources
prior to manual transfer. Failure to do so will result
in death or serious injury, and equipment damage.
See Figure 4-1. A manual handle (B) is shipped with the
transfer switch manual. Manual operation must be
checked BEFORE the transfer switch is operated
electrically. To check manual operation, proceed as
follows:
1. Verify the generator is in the OFF mode.
2. Turn OFF both utility (service disconnect circuit
breaker) and emergency (generator main line
circuit breaker) power supplies to the transfer
switch.
3. Note position of transfer mechanism main contacts
(A) by observing the movable contact carrier arm.
This can be viewed through the long narrow slot in
the inside cover. The top of the movable contact
carrier arm is yellow to be easily identified.

terminals (T1, T2) are connected to utility terminals
(N1, N2).

Before proceeding, verify the position of the switch by
observing the position of manual operation handle in
Figure 4-1. If the handle is UP, the contacts are closed in
the utility (normal) position, no further action is required.
If the handle is DOWN, proceed with Step 1.
1. With the handle inserted into the movable contact
carrier arm, move handle UP. Be sure to hold on to
the handle as it will move quickly after the center of
travel.
2. Remove manual operating handle from movable
contact carrier arm. Return handle to storage
