The generator senses when utility voltage is below 70 percent of
nominal. Engine start sequence is initiated after 6 second time
delay.
Engine Warm-Up
There is a time delay to allow for engine warm-up before transfer.
Use jumper on transfer switch control board to select delay of
20 seconds or 50 seconds.
Transfer
Transfer from utility to generator supply occurs after voltage is
above set levels and after the initial warm-up period. Minimum
engine run time is 5 minutes after transfer.
Utility Pickup
Voltage pickup level is 80 percent of nominal voltage.
Retransier
Retransfer from generator to utility power is approximately 10
seconds after utility voltage supply is above pickup level and
minimum run time is completed.
Engine Cool Down
Engine will run for 60 seconds after retransfer.
Controls

1. In the transfer switch, set both utility disconnect circuit
breakers to ON position.
2. Inthe transfer switch, set generator disconnect circuit breaker
to ON position.
3. Install 15 Amp fuse in generators control panel.
4. Set generators circuit breaker to ON position.
5. Set generators system switch to AUTO position.
The system will now be in automatic operation mode.
When the generator is providing power to the transfer switch, the
transfer switch control board is constantly monitoring generator
power. If the air conditioner is called to run, and there is sufficient
generator power available, the controller will close contacts "A-A"
to air conditioner contactor. Contacts "B-B" will open before
contacts A-A close. if loads are too great for the generator, contacts
A-A and/or B-B will open. When air conditioning is not needed, A_A
will open. If enough power is available, B-B will close.
Enclosure Door
