Remote Start Connection
(optional)
Connect leads 3 and 4 from the ADC 2100 controller to
the automatic transfer switch's engine start terminals or
to an optional remote start/stop switch.
1.8.9
Automatic Transfer Switches
A typical standby system has at least one automatic
transfer switch connected to the generator set output to
automatically transfer the electrical load to the
generator set if the normal source fails. When normal
power returns, the switch transfers the load back to the
normal power source and then signals the generator set
to stop.
The transfer switch uses a set of contacts to signal the
engine/generator to start. When the normal source fails
TP-6727 10/11
and the generator set master switch is in the AUTO
position, the transfer switch contacts close to start the
generator set.
The engine start terminals are usually located near the
transfer switch contactor with an engine start decal
identifying the terminals. Use the transfer switch wiring
diagrams to identify the engine start terminals prior to
making connections.
Use 14-gauge wire run through conduit to connect the
transfer switch engine-start contacts or a remote
manual engine-start switch to the engine start
connectors on the generator set. Connect to leads 3 and
4 from the ADC 2100 generator set controller. Use
separate conduits for engine-start leads, generator set
load cables, and battery charger leads.
