Testing live electrical circuits.
current will cause severe injury or death. Have trained and
qualified personnel take diagnostic measurements of live
circuits. Use adequately rated test equipment with electrically
insulated probes and follow the instructions of the test
equipment manufacturer when performing voltage tests.
Observe the following precautions when performing voltage
tests: (1) Remove all jewelry. (2) Stand on a dry, approved
electrically insulated mat. (3) Do not touch the enclosure or
components inside the enclosure. (4) Be prepared for the
system to operate automatically.

Voltage Check Procedure
1. If Source N is a generator set, move the generator
set master switch to the RUN position.
generator set should start.
2. Close the Source N circuit breaker or switch.
3. Use a voltmeter to check the Source N (normal)
phase-to-phase
applicable) terminal voltages and frequency.
a. If Source N is the utility and the measured input
does not match the voltage and frequency
shown on the transfer switch nameplate,
STOP! Do not proceed further in installation
because the transfer switch is not designed for
the application—call your distributor/dealer to
order the correct transfer switch.
b. If Source N is a generator set and the generator
set output voltage and frequency do not match
the nominal system voltage and frequency
shown on the transfer switch nameplate, follow
the manufacturer's instructions to adjust the
generator set. The automatic transfer switch
will only function with the rated system voltage
and frequency specified on the nameplate.
4. Use a phase rotation meter to check the phase
rotation at the Source N (normal) terminals. Rewire
the transfer switch Source N terminals to obtain the
correct phase sequence if necessary.

phase-to-neutral
Note: The default setting for the phase rotation on
the controller is ABC. If the application uses
a phase rotation of BAC, refer to the
controller Operation Manual for instructions
to change the phase rotation setting on the
controller.
5. If the source is a generator set, stop the generator
set by moving the master switch to the OFF
position.
6. Disconnect Source N by opening upstream circuit
breakers or switches.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for Source E. Then
proceed to step 8.
8. Disconnect both sources to the transfer switch by
opening the circuit breakers or switches.
9. Close and lock the transfer switch enclosure door.
10. Reconnect both power sources by closing the
circuit breakers or switches.
11. Move the generator set master switch to the AUTO
position.
Note: If the engine cooldown time delay setting is
not set to zero (default setting), the
The
generator set may start and run until the
Time Delay Engine Cooldown (TDEC) ends.
12. Perform the lamp test and then proceed to the

automatic operation test.

Lamp Test

Refer to the controller Operation Manual for instructions
to perform a lamp test. Verify that all controller LEDs or
lamps light during the test.
