MANUAL LOAD TRANSFER
This procedure will manually transfer the load if the
controller is disconnected.
!
Do not manually operate the transfer switch
until both power sources are disconnected
(all conductors deenergized).
1. Deenergize both the normal and emergency source
conductors (remove fuses or open circuit breakers).
Note any optional accessories that may be furnished on
the ACTS and review their operation. Refer to any
separate drawings and/or instructions that may be packed
with the ACTS.
PROBLEM PROBLEM
Engine–generator set does
not start when the Transfer
Control switch is turned and
held in Transfer Test position
or when normal source fails.
Transfer switch does not
transfer the load to the
emergency source after the
engine–generator set starts.
Transfer switch does not
transfer the load to normal
source when normal returns
or when the Transfer Control
switch is released.
Gen. does not stop after load
retransfer to normal source.
Failure to Synchronize
light comes on.
Extended Parallel Time
light comes on.
TS Locked Out
light comes on.
* These are factory settings. Refer to Group 5 Controller User's Guide.
If the problem is isolated to circuits on the controller or the transfer switch, call your local ASCO Power Technologies
sales office or ASI. In the United States, call 1–800–800–2726. In Canada, call 1–888–234–2726. Furnish the Serial No.
and Catalog No. from the transfer switch nameplate.
TESTING & SERVICE
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Table 2-1. Trouble-Shooting Checks.
CHECK IN NUMERICAL SEQUENCE
1 OPERATION
Hold Transfer Test switch 15
seconds or the outage must
be long enough to allow for
Feature 1C time delay plus
engine cranking and starting.
Wait for Feature 2B time delay
to time out.
Wait for Feature 3A time delay
to time out.
Wait for Feature 2E time delay
to time out.
Conditions of Normal or Emergency Sources not suitable for closed transition transfer.
Recheck voltage and frequency of both sources. Press Alarm Reset pushbutton.
CN and CE contacts are closed longer than setting in the Control Panel. Open the discon-
nected source circuit breaker, then call your nearest ASCO Service Center for assistance.
Transfer lockout operation has occured; transfer switch is disabled from automatic operation.
Open the disconnected source circuit breaker, then call your nearest ASI for assistance.

2. Use the maintenance handle to manually operate the
transfer switch to the opposite source. First open the
closed contacts, then close the other contacts. Do not
leave both closed. See Manual Operation on page 1–3.
3. Then remove the maintenance handle. See page 1–3.
!
Verify that the maintenance handle
has been removed before proceeding!
4. If the transfer switch is in the Emergency position
manually start the engine generator and then install
emergency source fuse or close the circuit breaker.
Hazardous voltage capable of causing shock,
burns, or death is used in this switch.
Do not touch the power or load terminals
of the transfer switch!
