2.4. AC VOLTAGE SENSING INPUT The TSC 7320 can accept direct AC voltage sensing inputs on the generator, utility and load from 120-600VAC (nominal). Sources up to 600VAC (phase to phase) can be connected wye or delta with grounded or ungrounded neutral without the need for additional sensing transformers.
AC CURRENT SENSING INPUT The TSC 7320 can accept 4 x 0 - 5Aac current inputs from the secondary windings of current transformers (CT’s). CT’s are to be connected on the load side of the ATS (Phase A, B, C & N).
SECTION 3.2 for more information. 2.9. PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUTS The TSC 7320 is provided from the factory with 8 programmable digital outputs (24VDC) and 2 programmable dry contact outputs. See SECTION 3.3 for more information Interposing relays are required between the TSC 7320 outputs and the end device if loads exceed the output current rating.
DC power. It is strongly suggested that the ground return wire of the interposing relay be used for the interface to the TSC 7320 remote start contact, this will ensure integrity of the DC power supply to the engine generator set controls in the event of a shorted or grounded wire remote start interface wire.
Systems factory. 2.13. DIELECTRIC TESTING Do not perform any high voltage dielectric testing on the transfer switch with the TSC 7320 controller connected into the circuit, as serious damage will occur to the controller. All AC/DC control fuses or control/sensing circuit isolation plugs connected to the TSC 7320 must be removed/disconnected if high voltage dielectric testing is performed on the transfer switch.
DESCRIPTION The TSC 7320 controller is an all in one unit and does not require any communication cables to operate. The controller has 13 buttons on the front of the controller that can be used to change what the controller is displaying, changing the settings, and control the mechanism.
8 of the inputs are digital inputs, and the other 6 are analogue inputs that can also be programmed to be more digital inputs. Refer to the TSC 7320 Manual for further information on programming changes as required.
The TSC 7320 is provided from the factory with 8 programmable digital outputs and 2 programmable dry contact outputs with default settings per the table shown below. Refer to the TSC 7320 Manual for further information on programming changes as required. The Digital outputs are rated 2A @ 24VDC resistive.

TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller The TSC 7320 requires continuous control power (i.e. utility/gen power on, or 24VDC aux power on) to keep the automatic engine start output disabled. If control power is de-energized, the engine start output will close in approximately 3 minutes, once its internal control power reservoir de-energizes.

NOTE: the TSC 7320 programmable digital input for Service Disconnect mode must be used in conjunction with a Service Disconnect control switch which changes the source of control power to the TSC 7320 output contacts to enable transfer to the neutral position.
3.6. DISPLAY PAGE DESCRIPTIONS The TSC 7320 controller monitors the ATS and displays various information which is visible on the front Display or front panel LEDs. Navigating to different screens is controlled by a four navigation buttons, and a center checkmark button. The display has pre-programmed display...
3.6.3. ALARMS PAGE The TSC 7320 alarms page displays available alarms and will remain blank if there are no alarms present. If there is more then one alarm, the up and down navigation keys can be used to cycle bewteen them.
TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller 3.6.4. EVENTS LOG PAGE The events log page shows time/date stamped information as to when events have occurred. The controller stores up to 250 events before the information is cleared automatically. 3.6.5. SCHEDULE PAGE The schedule page shows information about the different exercise tests, when they will run, and for how long.
TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller 3.6.7. CURRENT METERING PAGE The current metering page is a subpage within the generator section, and it displays the measured current as report from the CT’s for each of the lines. NOTE: Load CT ‘s must be supplied with the ATS to provide current and power data.
4.1. DISPLAY SCREEN NAVIGATION The TSC 7320 controller has pre-programmed display pages which are selected manually using the buttons on the front of the controller, by pushing the left and right navigation buttons. The display pages are organized into the following order and can be continuously cycled through: Status –...
4.2. ON LOAD TEST INSTRUCTIONS (UTILITY POWER FAIL SIMULATION) To initiate an ATS On Load Test, press the test button on the TSC 7320 controller to enter test mode. Next, press the gen start button (green), and the controller will start the generator and once it reaches the nominal voltage and frequency, the switch will be transferred to the generator and take over the load.
TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller 4.4. OPEN/CLOSED TRANSITION TRANSFER OPERATION The ATS may be supplied with several different Open or Closed Transition Transfer operational features. The ATS model code depicts the options available as shown below: Operational behavior of an ATS equipped with these different features is depicted in the...
TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller 4.4.1. Open Transition IN-SYNC Transfer Operation (Model X) If the ATS is supplied with ATS Model X feature (i.e. Open Transition – In-sync Transfer), the ATS will operate as per automatic sequence of operation (open transition) however all transfers will occur using in-sync transfer control sensing instead of neutral delay control logic.
4.7. PHASE SEQUENCE PROTECTION ALARM RESET The TSC 7320 is programmed to generate an alarm if it detects a rotated phase sequence (not A-B-C). The ATS will not transfer to that source until the sequence has been fixed, and the alarm has been cleared.
TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS 5.1. PASSWORD SECURITY DESCRIPTION/LOGIN There are two different areas to change the controller settings, one of the requires entering a pin to change the settings, and the other are does not require a pin.

TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller 3. Choosing voltage configuration: There are 5 separate inputs that dictate the different configurations, and they are listed in the table below. Select one of the options below based on the ATS requirements. 4. Inserting the wire: Insert the voltage selection wire into the desired terminal and tighten the screw on the terminal.
5.4. EXERCISE TIMER SETUP The TSC 7320 controller has a built-in calendar based programmable exercise timer. The exercise timer has two banks that can be programmed on either weekly or monthly period. Each of the banks has 8 schedules within them that can be set to a specific week, day, and time. For a given schedule, the type of test and duration can be inputted.
Load Shed strategies are used when the backup generator is not sized to supply all ATS loads. TSC 7320 monitors the generator output KW to determine when to connect or disconnect non-critical loads to maximize utilization and to prevent the generator from overload and shutdown.
SECTION 6 Factory Default Programming. The TSC 7320 controller has a couple options that are controller via the input pins. 5.6.1. OPEN TRANSITION All panels have a wire connecting the controllers input E (PIN 52) to the DC negative terminals, and that input will make the controller perform an open transition transfer with a neutral delay.
TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller 5.6.3. REMOTE OFF LOAD TEST If a wire connects the controllers input G (PIN 54) to the DC negative terminals, that input will tell the controller perform an off load test. The controller will run the off load test until the input is removed.
FACTORY DEFAULT PROGRAMMING The TSC 7320 is factory programmed with default settings as shown as per the following table. NOTE: This table is applicable for firmware version R0. Refer to the TSC 7320 O&M Manual for programming instructions to change any default setting.
TSC 7320 Transfer Switch Controller TROUBLESHOOTING Several problems can cause the TSC 7320 controller not to function properly. Refer to the following list of typical problems. Consult the factory for any detailed information or for any problems not listed. CAUTION Before opening the enclosure to perform any service task, it is imperative to isolate the transfer switch from any possible source of power.
